What Is General Dentistry?

General dentistry focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing your family’s oral health needs. From routine check-ups and cleanings to cavity fillings and restorative procedures like crowns and bridges, general practitioner dentists are equipped to handle various dentistry services for patients of all ages. We play a crucial role in educating patients on proper oral hygiene and offering guidance on nutrition as it relates to your dental health. Our mission is to help you preserve the natural structure of your teeth as long as possible through preventive and restorative treatments.

Why Is It Important to Visit Your General Dentist?

Your general dentist is your first line of defense in identifying dental issues early enough to ensure your smile stays healthy. By building a foundation of regular dental care, general dentists help prevent the onset of severe dental problems. Regular check-ups allow for the removal of plaque and tartar build-up that can’t be eliminated through brushing and flossing alone. During these visits, your dentist can detect signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral problems before they become severe. Ultimately, visiting a general dentist can save you time, discomfort, and costly treatments.

General Dentistry Services for Every Family Member

Visiting a general dentist for routine check-ups ensures your teeth and gums remain healthy, and you radiate confidence with a beautiful smile. Peak Family Dental Care offers complete dental care for every member of the family. Visit us for all these general dentistry services and more:

Periodontal Care – Do your gums bleed excessively when you brush or floss? Gum disease can cause severe health issues if ignored. We provide a range of periodontal care treatments, including scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery, and laser gum surgery.
Laser Dentistry – Thanks to laser dentistry, many procedures are now less invasive, with minimal downtime and fewer complication risks. Depending on the treatment, patients may not even need anesthesia. Our practice provides FDA-approved Solea laser dentistry for your comfort.
Pediatric Dentistry – Ensure your child’s smile remains healthy with specialized pediatric care. From sealants to fluoride treatments, our pediatric dentistry services can help strengthen your child’s tooth enamel while offering protection against decay and cavities.
Sedation Dentistry – Do you suffer from a strong gag reflex or a fear of needles? We offer three types of sedation (nitrous oxide, oral sedatives, and intravenous sedation) to help patients relax. We’ll discuss any potential side effects to determine which sedation method is best for you.
Oral Surgery – Whether you need wisdom teeth removal or dental implant placement, we’re equipped for various oral surgeries. Visit one of our three Arizona locations to learn more about how we keep you safe and comfortable with advanced techniques and technology.
TMJ Treatment – TMJ disorders can cause headaches, difficulty chewing, disruptive clicking sounds in the jaw, and other patient discomforts. If you suffer from TMJ, our general dentists may recommend gentle trigger-point manipulation or a custom orthotic to realign your jaws.
Sleep Apnea Treatments – If you suffer from daytime fatigue or loud snoring at night, you may have a serious condition called sleep apnea. We provide non-invasive sleep apnea treatments through oral appliance therapy for suitable candidates.

How Often Should You Visit Your Family Dentist?

Most dental experts recommend visiting your general dentist at least twice yearly for professional check-ups and cleanings. However, if you have a chronic health condition such as diabetes, you may need to visit your dentist more frequently. If you experience a severe toothache, bleeding gums, or a dental emergency such as loose or broken teeth, you may need to visit your dentist between check-ups. Maintaining a healthy relationship with a general dentist at Peak Family Dental Care can help you address dental issues promptly to ensure better outcomes for your overall health and well-being.
