This blog will explore the range of services offered under general dentistry at our clinic and why regular visits are crucial for maintaining optimal dental health.


Understanding General Dentistry:

General dentistry encompasses a wide array of dental care services aimed at helping you preserve your natural teeth, ensure optimal oral health, and keep you looking and feeling great throughout your life. It involves diagnostic, preventive, restorative, and cosmetic treatments.


Services Offered at Dentist on Colonial Drive:


  • Routine Check-ups and Cleanings:  Regular exams help catch problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat. Professional cleanings rid your teeth of any tartar build-up, which prevents gum disease and cavities.
  • Dental Fillings:  We use high-quality materials for fillings to restore teeth damaged by decay back to their normal function and shape.
  • Dental Crowns and Bridges: Whether you need a crown to cover a damaged tooth or a bridge to fill the gap created by missing teeth, we provide solutions that are both functional and aesthetic.
  • Periodontal Care: We offer treatment for gum disease, from early diagnosis during routine check-ups to advanced management techniques to restore gum health.
  • Root Canal Therapy: If a tooth becomes severely infected or decayed, a root canal can save it from extraction while relieving pain and stopping the infection.
  • Dental Extractions: When a tooth is beyond repair, extraction may be necessary. We perform this procedure with care to minimize discomfort and promote quick healing.
  • Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection is key in the successful treatment of oral cancer, which is why we include screenings as part of our routine dental check-up.

Why Regular Dental Visits Are Important:

Regular visits to Dentist on Colonial Drive allow us to monitor your oral health and quickly address any issues before they become more serious. Preventive care is less invasive and more cost-effective than dealing with problems that have been allowed to develop and worsen.

  • What is Invisalign, and how does it work?

    Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal wires or brackets. Each aligner is custom-made to fit over your teeth and designed to move your teeth in small increments until the desired alignment is achieved.

  • How often should I visit Dentist on Colonial Drive for a general dental check-up?

    We recommend visiting Dentist on Colonial Drive every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. Regular visits help us monitor your oral health and catch potential issues early, ensuring easier and less invasive treatments.

  • Can dental veneers fix crooked teeth?

    Yes, veneers can be used to correct minor misalignments, gaps, or uneven teeth. They are custom-made porcelain or composite resin shells that cover the front surface of teeth, providing a more aligned and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

  • What are the advantages of dental implants over dentures?

    Dental implants provide a permanent solution to tooth loss, offering greater stability and function compared to dentures. Implants are anchored into the jawbone, allowing for natural bone preservation and preventing the bone loss associated with missing teeth. They also feel and function more like natural teeth.

  • What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

    If you experience a dental emergency, such as severe pain, a broken tooth, or a tooth knocked out, contact Dentist on Colonial Drive immediately. We offer emergency dental services and will provide you with instructions on how to handle your situation until you can be seen by our dentist.

  • Are dental crowns or bridges better for replacing missing teeth?

    The choice between crowns and bridges depends on the extent of your dental needs. A bridge is used to fill a gap if you’re missing one or more teeth, anchored on either side by dental crowns. If you have a damaged or severely decayed tooth, a crown can be used to cover and protect it without replacing it.

  • How long does a typical root canal treatment take?

    A typical root canal treatment at Dentist on Colonial Drive can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the condition of the infected tooth. Each visit may last between 30 to 90 minutes.

  • What are the signs that I might need a root canal?

    You might need a root canal if you experience severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums, or a persistent or recurring pimple on the gums.

  • Is teeth whitening safe, and how long do the results last?

    Yes, when conducted by a professional, teeth whitening is safe and effective. At Dentist on Colonial Drive, we ensure that the whitening procedure is suited to your dental health. The results can last from six months to two years, depending on your habits and oral hygiene.

  • How do I care for my teeth after receiving crowns or bridges?

    After receiving crowns or bridges, continue practicing good oral hygiene. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. It’s also important to avoid chewing hard foods that might damage the restoration. Regular check-ups at Dentist on Colonial Drive will help ensure that your crowns or bridges remain in good condition.
