What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry encompasses various services, from preventive education to dental restoration. Unlike specialists like orthodontists or oral surgeons, general dentists offer comprehensive care that meets the variety of dental needs of all patients.

The role of Dr. Adrian Gonzalez is to provide routine check-ups and cleanings, diagnose dental problems, and manage your oral health. He can perform various dental procedures, from Same-day crowns to orthodontic care, with Clear Aligners.

General Dental Services at Nuvo Dental Arts

Dr. Adrian Gonzalez and his team provide an array of services under general dentistry.

Dental Check-ups and Cleanings

Regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and cleanings are the cornerstone of good oral health. These appointments allow Dr. Adrian Gonzalez to catch potential issues early before they become painful or require extensive treatment.

Restorative Treatments

When cavities do occur, fillings and other restorative procedures are used to repair the damage done by tooth decay. Understanding the differences in materials and methods can help patients communicate with their dentists about the best options for their needs.

Root Canal Therapy

Contrary to the dread often associated with root canals, the procedure saves a tooth that’s become infected. Dr. Gonzalez is adept at performing root canals and typically do so with a local anesthetic for a virtually painless experience in general dentistry.

Cosmetic Enhancements

While not strictly necessary for oral health, cosmetic procedures offered by general dentists can significantly improve patients’ confidence and well-being. Services like teeth whitening, bonding, and veneers are standard options for patients looking to enhance their smiles.

The Importance of General Dentistry

The best way to approach oral health is to prevent problems before they start. Let’s explore what preventive care entails and why it’s so important.

The Value of Regular Dental Visits: Regular check-ups ensure Dr. Adrian Gonzalez can diagnose issues early and provide treatment more comfortably and cost-effectively. Professional cleaning is the only way for many patients to remove stubborn tartar that can’t be tackled with brushing and flossing alone.
Proper Dental Hygiene Routine: Preventive care extends to your daily oral hygiene routine. Effective brushing and flossing are your first defense against decay and disease. Dr. Adrian Gonzalez is the best help for learning the most effective techniques for at-home care.
Additional Preventive Treatments: Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are powerful preventive tools that can keep your teeth strong and healthy. These services are particularly beneficial for children as their teeth develop but are also valuable for adults.
Oral Health Education: Empowering patients with knowledge is fundamental to general dentistry. Education on oral health practices and habits can significantly impact a patient’s long-term dental outcomes.
Early Detection of Dental Issues: Understanding the signs of common dental issues can prompt early intervention, which is often less invasive and less expensive than treatments required for more advanced problems.
