What Is General Dentistry?

General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common dental conditions. It includes everything from maintaining oral hygiene to addressing decay, infection, and wear before they lead to more serious complications.

Patients of all ages benefit from consistent general dental care, which not only protects your smile but also supports your overall health.

From the first tooth to the golden years, preventive care remains essential to a healthy, lasting smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a dental cleaning?

Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. However, those with gum disease or other risk factors may require more frequent visits. We'll personalize a schedule that fits your needs.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

Call us immediately at (208) 888-0662. We reserve time each day for emergency cases and can often see you the same day for treatment.

Are digital X-rays safe?

Yes. Digital radiography significantly reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. It also provides instant imaging, which speeds up diagnosis and treatment planning.

Is sedation dentistry right for me?

If you experience anxiety during dental visits or are undergoing extensive treatment, sedation dentistry can make your experience much more comfortable. We’ll review your medical history and help you choose the most appropriate option.

Do you treat children?

Yes, we offer general dentistry services for children, teens, and adults. Our team is experienced in caring for patients of all ages in a calm, welcoming environment.
