Receive A Full Range Of Quality Dental Treatments With General Dentistry

General dentistry is the foundation for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing dental issues. At Wilmington Family Dental in Wilmington, it encompasses a wide range of procedures and treatments designed to promote healthy teeth, gums, and overall oral hygiene.

What is involved in general dentistry?

General dentistry covers various essential procedures. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are fundamental to preventing dental problems and ensuring early detection of issues. We perform comprehensive oral examinations, including X-rays, to assess your overall oral health and detect any underlying concerns. These examinations aid in identifying cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other conditions. General dentistry includes restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, and bridges, which help repair and restore damaged teeth. Root canal therapy addresses severe tooth decay or infection, saving the natural tooth. Another common treatment is tooth extraction, which becomes necessary when a tooth is extensively damaged or causes overcrowding.

What are the advantages of general dentistry?

• Preventive Care: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings enable early detection of dental issues, preventing more complex problems from arising
• Comprehensive Treatment: General dentistry provides a broad spectrum of services, from routine cleanings to complex restorative procedures, allowing us to address various oral health concerns.
• Improved Aesthetics: Teeth whitening, veneers, and orthodontics fall under general dentistry. These treatments enhance the appearance of teeth, resulting in a more confident and radiant smile.

General dentistry benefits people of all ages and from all walks of life, from young children to older adults. Children can receive preventive procedures like fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect their developing teeth.
