WHY DO I NEED A GENERAL DENTIST?

Maintaining optimal dental health leads to better overall health. Having a dentist that is trained in the field of general dentistry means that for every visit, you'll have the peace of mind that your needs are covered.

OUR GENERAL DENTISTRY SERVICES

Our skilled team of dental experts is equipped to handle a wide range of general dentistry needs, including:  

Preventative Dentistry

We will spot signs of dental issues early and provide swift treatment to preserve your dental health for the future. From routine teeth cleanings in Chattanooga to cavity prevention, we got you covered!

Cosmetic

From teeth whitening to dental implants, we have the tools to enhance the beauty and natural aesthetic of your smile.  

Restorative

We want to make you excited to smile again! Our team can repair years of damage and neglect in a few short visits!  

DENTAL SOLUTIONS FOR EVERYONE

Routine Exams

We take educating our patients very seriously! We offer an exam at every hygiene visit and take a preventative approach to avoiding tooth decay. Any abnormal findings and restorative options are discussed in detail.

Teeth Cleaning

Good oral hygiene is the foundation for good oral health. Our hygienists offer comprehensive care. Equipping you with the knowledge and practical skills to effectively remove plaque on a daily basis. This is the foundation for good oral health!

Dental Fillings

Today we can confidently offer tooth-colored fillings that have many advantages over the old silver fillings, namely, the ability of the filling to strengthen and hold the tooth together, a term called “reinforcement through bonding.” Through careful technique these fillings can be strong and beautiful while lasting many years!

Veneers

Changing the shape and appearance of your front teeth can drastically improve first impressions and boost confidence! Cracks, gaping teeth, mis-matched crowns and fillings can all be corrected with porcelain veneers. Veneers are conservative for the tooth and an amazing option for the smile you’ve always wanted!

Clear Aligners

Now offering clear aligners to correct malocclusion and cosmetic straightening of teeth. Many patients and doctors prefer clear aligners to traditional wires and brackets as they are comfortable, removable, and discreet.

Teeth Whitening

Our patient tailored whitening system provides noticeable and dramatic results. The bleach solution we offer contains potassium nitrate and fluoride to reduce sensitivity and actually leave the tooth stronger then before!

Dental Implants

Dental implants are prosthetic teeth that look and feel like the real deal. If you are missing some of your pearly whites, implants may be the solution you need to regain your confidence and ability to chew foods and speak clearly.
