Complete Dental Care from A to Z

Keep your teeth strong and your oral health in top shape with regular dental care. Routine check-ups and early action at the first signs of decay can prevent discomfort, pain, and unplanned costs. If you’re experiencing issues with your teeth, gums, or overall oral health, restorative dental treatments can help you feel comfortable and healthy again. General dentistry prioritizes your whole well-being. Here are some key benefits you can expect from preventive and restorative care:

Preventative Care:

  • Sparkling clean teeth that appear whiter, even without whitening treatments.
  • X-rays that catch potential issues early on.
  • Healthy gums free from itching or bleeding.
  • Composite fillings that stop cavities from progressing.
  • Reduced sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
  • Prevention and reversal of tooth decay.
  • Longer-lasting prosthetics and dental appliances.

Restorative Dentistry:

  • Protect your natural tooth from infection.
  • Replace missing teeth with natural-looking alternatives.
  • Restore damaged teeth to near-original condition.
  • Custom-designed prosthetics and appliances.
  • Enjoy easier eating, better sleep, and an improved quality of life.

Our General Dentistry services

Composite Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings stop cavities from growing and damaging your tooth, matching your natural teeth for a seamless look and feel.

Dental Bonding

Revitalize chipped or cracked teeth or enhance the appearance of healthy teeth with dental bonding.

Dental Bridges

Permanently bond a custom-made dental prosthesis in place to fill in gaps and replace your tooth or teeth

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns play a vital role in restorative dentistry, greatly improving the strength, appearance, and longevity of your teeth.

Dental Extractions

Whether you need a routine tooth extraction or a more intricate dental surgical procedure, tooth removal is a frequently performed process that typically involves minimal pain or discomfort.

Dental Implants

Dental implants function as artificial tooth roots and are completed with restorations like dental crowns. This helps to restore the function of your teeth while providing a natural look and feel.

Dentures

Obtain new dentures or keep your full or partial dentures in top condition through maintenance and repairs. These advanced dental prosthetics are designed to replace multiple or all of your teeth while ensuring minimal discomfort.

Root Canal

Root canals can be careful, quick, and relatively pain-free bringing you immediate relief and saving your natural tooth.

Same-Day Dental Implants

Tired of waiting months for dental implants? At Dent Aid Dentistry, we’ve got you covered with same-day implants that can have you smiling again in just three visits. It’s a quicker and easier way to get your confidence back without the long wait.

Teeth Cleanings

Regular teeth cleanings are crucial to maintaining the health of your gums and teeth. By scheduling checkups every 6 to 8 months, you can prevent unexpected dental pain and the costly treatments that may arise from untreated issues.

The Importance of Early Intervention and Routine Care

Your smile reflects your well-being, and our primary goal is to help you maintain it. Our approach prioritizes proactive care, catching potential issues before they become serious. Focusing on the health of your teeth, gums, and entire oral structure now means avoiding future complications and minimizing both pain and costs. This careful, attentive care lets you enjoy lasting comfort and confidence.

Keep Your Natural Teeth for Longer

Tooth loss often results from cavities in young adults and gum disease in older adults. By maintaining good oral hygiene at home and visiting us for regular check-ups, we can catch early signs of decay and gum issues before they become significant. This proactive approach helps keep your teeth strong and healthy for years to come.

Save Your Money

Routine cleanings and exams are affordable, predictable expenses that easily fit into a budget. Addressing early signs of tooth decay, like with composite fillings, is also cost-effective and a wise long-term choice. On the other hand, more extensive treatments required for advanced issues can be considerably more expensive.

Carefree Comfort

One of the best things about excellent oral health is that it’s practically invisible — no aches, no swelling, no constant discomfort. You can enjoy your favorite foods, smile confidently, and go about your day without worry. With consistent care, your teeth remain naturally beautiful, comfortable, and dependable.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

A routine check-up involves both a cleaning and an examination. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that accumulate even with good brushing and flossing. During the exam, the dental team keeps a close watch on your overall oral health, with particular attention to any areas of concern.

Cavities form when food particles left in the mouth—especially in hard-to-reach areas—become fuel for naturally occurring bacteria. These bacteria produce acids that erode enamel over time. High-sugar or acidic diets, including foods and drinks like coffee and soda, can speed up this process.

Genetics can play a role in cavity susceptibility. For instance, some people have a greater tendency toward cavity-causing bacteria or have crowded teeth that make cleaning harder. Practicing excellent oral hygiene and maintaining a balanced diet can help counter these risks.

Yes, even if a cavity isn’t painful, it’s best to address it early with a filling to stop further decay and avoid future pain. Filling a cavity while it’s still small helps keep the problem manageable and less costly.

Routine cleanings help prevent and, in some cases, even reverse early decay. Mild decay can be treated with fluoride or a composite filling, while more advanced cases may require a root canal or a crown for full restoration. In severe cases, an extraction may be necessary, with options like implants or bridges available to maintain your bite and smile.

Yes, preventative cleanings and exams are recommended and safe during pregnancy to reduce the risk of oral infections. If an emergency, such as an infection, arises, treatments like a root canal may be necessary. Cosmetic procedures, however, should be postponed until after childbirth.
