Comprehensive General Dentistry Services

General dentistry is a field of dental arts that focuses on the prevention, detection and treatment of common oral health issues. The most basic general dentistry services include dental hygiene and teeth cleaning visits. During these sessions, your teeth and gums are thoroughly examined by Dr. Nathe and professionally cleaned by one of our experienced dental hygienists. Professional teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar that accumulate despite daily brushing and flossing.

If a problem is identified during the exam, prompt treatment can be administered before serious issues develop. In most cases, biannual examinations are recommended, but we will schedule your appointments based on your unique situation.

The Importance of Early Detection

Most tooth and gum diseases do not appear out of nowhere. They gradually worsen over time until the point where they may need extensive treatment. Early detection is the key to preventing dental problems from escalating into serious oral health issues.

Early detection of dental problems will not only save your health and teeth; it will save you money. Typically, the sooner a problem is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat.
