General Dentistry at Prime Dental focuses on maintaining your oral health, preventing common dental problems, and treating issues that affect your teeth and gums. Our general dental services cover everything from routine examinations and professional cleaning to fillings, root canal treatment, pulpotomy, and tooth restoration.
What Is General Dentistry?
General Dentistry includes essential dental services for maintaining healthy teeth and gums at every stage of life. Regular dental visits allow your dentist to check for cavities, gum problems, infection, tooth damage, and other concerns that may not cause noticeable symptoms at first.
Based on your dental condition, your dentist may recommend preventive care, restorative treatment, or further procedures to protect your natural teeth and maintain proper oral function.
Our General Dentistry Services
General Examination
A general dental examination is the first step in understanding your overall oral health. Your dentist checks your teeth, gums, bite, and other areas of the mouth to identify existing or potential dental problems.
It may include:
• Comprehensive examination of teeth and gums
• Checking for cavities and tooth damage
• Assessment of gum health
• Evaluation of existing dental restorations
• Dental X-rays when needed
Normal Cleaning
Normal Cleaning is a routine professional dental cleaning that helps remove plaque, tartar, and surface buildup that regular brushing may not completely eliminate.
It can help:
• Keep teeth cleaner and smoother
• Remove plaque and tartar
• Reduce surface stains
• Support healthier gums
• Maintain good oral hygiene
Deep Cleaning
Deep Cleaning is a more intensive cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline when there are signs of gum disease or significant buildup.
It may help:
• Remove buildup below the gumline
• Improve gum health
• Reduce inflammation caused by plaque and tartar
• Clean areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing
• Support better long-term oral hygiene
Tooth Filling
Tooth Filling is a restorative treatment used to repair teeth affected by cavities, decay, or minor damage. The damaged portion is removed and replaced with a suitable filling material to restore the tooth’s shape and function.
It can help:
• Treat cavities and tooth decay
• Restore damaged tooth structure
• Improve chewing function
• Protect the tooth from further damage
• Preserve the natural tooth
Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment is used when the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or other damage. The affected tissue is removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is then restored.
It can help:
• Remove infected or inflamed pulp
• Clean and seal the root canals
• Relieve symptoms caused by infection
• Prevent the infection from progressing
• Preserve the natural tooth
Pulpotomy
Pulpotomy is a treatment that removes the affected portion of the dental pulp while preserving the healthy part of the pulp inside the tooth. It is commonly considered when the damage or infection is limited to the crown portion of the tooth.
The dentist will assess the condition of the tooth and determine whether pulpotomy is an appropriate treatment.
Post and Core
Post and Core is a restorative procedure used when a tooth has lost a significant amount of structure and needs additional support before receiving a final crown.
Prime Dental offers:
• Metal Post and Core
• Fiber Post and Core
A post is placed inside the treated tooth to provide support, while the core helps rebuild the tooth structure for the final restoration.
