What Is General Dentistry?

Maintaining a healthy smile is crucial for overall well-being. General dentistry plays a vital role in achieving and sustaining this goal.

It encompasses a comprehensive range of preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services designed to address your oral health needs throughout life. From routine checkups and cleanings to addressing cavities and gum disease, general dentistry forms the foundation for a healthy, confident smile. Regular dental care not only keeps teeth and gums healthy but also contributes to overall health. Studies have shown links between poor oral health and chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer's disease. By prioritizing your oral health with regular dental checkups and treatments, you're investing in your overall well-being and a healthier future.

Common Oral Health Concerns Addressed by General Dentistry

General dentistry tackles a wide spectrum of oral health concerns. Here are some of the most common issues it can effectively address:

  • Cavities and tooth decay: General dentists are experts in identifying and treating cavities at their earliest stages, preventing further damage and discomfort.
  • Gum disease: Regular cleanings and periodontal treatments offered by general dentists help prevent and manage gum disease, ensuring healthy gums and supporting teeth.
  • Toothaches and oral infections: General dentists can diagnose the cause of your toothache and provide prompt treatment for various oral infections.
  • Cracked or chipped teeth: General dentistry offers solutions like fillings, crowns, or veneers to repair damaged teeth and restore their functionality and aesthetics.
  • Missing teeth: Bridges, dentures, or implants can be recommended by your general dentist to replace missing teeth, improving your smile and chewing ability.

Our General Dentistry Services:

Dental X-Rays

Dental X-rays are an essential part of making an accurate diagnosis and planning treatment for dental problems. X-rays are the best way to get images of your teeth, jaw bone, and soft tissue of the mouth. This allows Dr. Feinberg to identify cavities, gum disease, abscesses, bone loss, and other dental health problems.

Gum Disease Treatment

Regular teeth cleaning and gum hygiene is imperative for everyone. At the San Diego Dental Center we are passionate about preventative actions to ensure any dental situations don't start in the first place. Or, if they have already started and been treated, they don't continue or get worse. We have some best dental hygienists in La Mesa to help treat any periodontitis we find with thorough Gum Disease Treatment.

Mercury/Amalgam Removal

Did you know that your old fillings may be harmful to your health? Traditional silver fillings actually contain mercury, which has been linked to health issues. Cracked or worn silver fillings may release mercury into your body, where it can accumulate and cause a variety of problems to physical health.

Dr. Feinberg is an expert in the safe removal of mercury/amalgam fillings. His attention to detail and best dental practices minimizes your risk of exposure to mercury during the procedure. Plus, Dr. Feinberg is skilled at replacing old mercury/amalgam fillings with safe, durable, and long-lasting alternatives.

Root Canals

When a tooth experiences significant decay, the inner pulp of the tooth may become inflamed and very painful. A root canal is a procedure that involves removal of the inflamed pulp. Dr. Feinberg then seals the tooth to prevent further damage. Restoring the tooth with a crown or filling preserves the appearance and structural integrity of the damaged tooth.

Sedation Dentistry

If you prefer to receive dental treatment in an environment where you don't have to hear or see the procedure occurring, we've got you covered. At the San Diego Dental Center we have all facilities needed to provide dental treatment for patients who request to be sedated during the service. You can read more information here on how it works.

Teeth Whitening

Looking for a brighter, whiter smile? We can help. In additional all traditional dental treatments, we can provide you with clinical quality professional teeth whitening. Through laser treatment or other methods, we can work with you and almost always improve the color of your teeth to the desired look.
