Types of General Dentistry Services


Posted on 6/5/2023 by San Francisco Dental Arts
Types of General Dentistry ServicesGeneral dentistry is broad and encompasses a range of essential services. These dentists offer preventive, diagnostic, restorative, and cosmetic services. They ensure that your teeth, gums, and jaw are always healthy. The services also help ensure you have a confident and beautiful smile. Here is a brief breakdown of general dentistry services and what you should expect when you visit these dentists:

Preventive Services


Preventive dentistry is the main aim of general dentists. The services help reduce the risk of various oral health issues. Fluoride treatments, dental cleaning, and education help prevent tooth decay, cavities, or gum diseases. The service aims to ensure your dental health is outstanding and you have a very low risk of dental issues. The services are non-invasive and done at the outpatient setup and you can go home on the same day.

Diagnostic Services


Diagnostic services entail identifying any signs and symptoms of oral disease. A dentist performs diagnostic tests such as x-rays, oral cancer screenings, or blood checks during this stage, and these tests will offer a clear picture of your teeth, gums, and jaw health. If any issues are detected, the dentists will recommend the best approach for you.

Restorative services


Restorative services focus on ensuring you have an outstanding smile. The dentists will recommend various treatments such as dental fillings, dental implants, dental crowns, or dental cleaning to enhance the look of your teeth and gums. Other restorative services include gum grafting, pocket reduction, and root canal therapy.

Cosmetic services


Cosmetic services are essential services in general dentistry. Here, general dentists focus primarily on oral health and the patient's smile. They do specific procedures to improve the appearance of your teeth and gums. Some of the cosmetic services include teeth whitening for discoloration issues. Services such as dental bonding or dental veneers aim to improve your teeth' aesthetics.
