What is general dentistry?

General dentistry is one of the broadest classifications within the dental field. As the aim of general dentistry is to achieve and maintain a healthy mouth, it incorporates preventive care, restorative treatments, and many other dental services. Our experienced dentists strive to provide high-quality dental treatments that will improve the health, function, and beauty of your smile. Whether you are repairing a small cavity or replacing missing teeth, you can feel confident that you will receive personalized, quality dental care. We invite you to call us today at 703-830-9110 to learn more about general dentistry and make your appointment!
Do I need to go to the dentist?
Yes! We recommend that you visit the dentist at least once every six months; our dentists may recommend more frequent visits if your smile is affected by certain conditions, such as periodontal disease. During your routine visits to our office, our dentists will examine your smile using the latest in dental technology, including the iTero Intraoral Scanner, provide a professional teeth cleaning, and make certain that your mouth is in good health. If needed, we will recommend any treatments you need to improve your oral health. If it has been longer than six months since you last went to the dentist, we encourage you to contact us today to schedule your next appointment. We are dedicated to helping you keep your smile healthy for a lifetime!
Our experienced dental team can fill small cracks, use dental bonding for chips, or do more extensive repairs on broken teeth with inlays, onlays, or dental crowns.
We focus on preventive care for our patients. Routine visits are one of the best ways to help prevent gum disease and to catch dental problems at their earliest stage.
We provide dental bridges to close the gaps in your smile and restore your missing teeth. Dental bridges literally “bridge” the empty space between your teeth to help you regain a beautiful smile.
A crown is a versatile, effective dental restoration. When a more conservative restoration, like a dental filling, is insufficient to restore a significantly damaged tooth, our dentists may suggest a dental crown.
A filling is a dental restoration used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay. Our practice is pleased to provide composite (white) fillings.
