Beyond the Brush: A Deep Dive into General Dentistry Services in Arvada
When you think of a trip to the dentist, the first thing that comes to mind is likely a cleaning and a quick check-up. While these are vital components of maintaining your oral health, general dentistry at West Arvada Family Dental encompasses a much wider range of services designed to keep your smile healthy, strong, and beautiful for a lifetime. Think of our general dentistry services as the foundation of your oral health, addressing everything from routine maintenance to restorative care.
The Foundation: Preventive Care
The core of general dentistry is prevention. We believe that preventing issues before they start is the most effective and cost-efficient way to maintain a healthy smile. Our preventive services include:
- Routine Dental Cleanings: A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t. It’s a key line of defense against cavities and gum disease.
- Comprehensive Dental Exams: During your exam, Dr. Paylor and Dr. Barry will meticulously check your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other potential issues, including oral cancer screenings.
- Digital X-Rays: These provide a clear view of what’s happening beneath the surface, allowing us to detect problems like bone loss, impacted teeth, or cavities between teeth.
- Fluoride Treatments & Dental Sealants: These are fantastic preventive measures, especially for children, helping to fortify tooth enamel and protect against decay.
Restoring Your Smile: Restorative Dentistry
Even with the best preventive care, issues can arise. That’s where our restorative general dentistry comes in. We offer a variety of treatments to repair and restore the function and appearance of your teeth.
- Dental Fillings: We use tooth-colored composite fillings to repair cavities, seamlessly blending with your natural tooth structure for a beautiful and durable result.
- Dental Crowns: When a tooth is severely damaged, weakened, or has a large filling, a dental crown is often the ideal solution. It acts like a cap, protecting the tooth and restoring its shape, size, and strength.
- Root Canal Therapy: A root canal is a treatment to save a tooth with an infected or inflamed pulp. We know this procedure can sound intimidating, but with modern techniques and sedation options, it’s a comfortable and effective way to relieve pain and save your natural tooth.
- Dental Bridges: If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can literally “bridge the gap” by anchoring a replacement tooth (or teeth) to your surrounding healthy teeth.
