What services does general dentistry include?

The team at Conshohocken Dental Care offers several general dentistry services, providing professional care for:

Dental cleanings and exams 

Routine dental cleanings and exams allow your dentist to check for oral health issues and provide prompt treatment to preserve your smile. 

Dental fillings

Fillings can repair decaying, discolored, or damaged teeth with tooth-colored, silver amalgam, or gold materials. They can be customized to your specific treatment preferences.

Dental sealants

A dental sealant is a protective coating that your dentist applies to your tooth surfaces. Sealants can help protect against tooth decay for several years*.

Crowns and bridges

Crowns and bridges are common restorations that can help you regain oral function if you have missing teeth.

Dentures

Dentures are popular prosthetics for missing teeth in the lower and upper arch. They can help restore normal chewing and speaking abilities. 

Gum therapy

If you have gum disease, you might need gum therapy such as scaling and root planing. This procedure involves special instruments to reach below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar buildup. 

Night guards

A night guard is a custom-made device that you can wear while you sleep to protect against teeth grinding (bruxism). Teeth grinding wears down your enamel (the protective layer), increasing your vulnerability to fractures and toothaches.

Emergency dentistry

If you lose a restoration, obtain a tooth injury, or experience tooth pain, emergency dentistry can help get you into the office for swift treatment and recovery.
