Providing for All Your Oral Health Needs
The typical first-time general dentistry visit to Dentistry of Bethesda lasts an hour and fifteen minutes. That’s because we believe in spending the time required to give you the most thorough, quality care possible. We have special experience in helping children and special needs patients, including older patients, so our office offers truly comprehensive general dental care for everyone.
We recommend routine dental cleanings every six months, but we know that there’s more to your oral health than just the basics. Your general dentistry care from Dentistry of Bethesda will include an oral cancer screening and an examination looking for signs of gum disease. Why? These two oral health problems often go undetected, and if allowed to progress, both can cause serious complications.
Periodontal Therapy
Should gum disease prove to be a problem, Dentistry of Bethesda can perform periodontal therapy, heading off further dental damage at the pass. Non-surgical periodontal treatments for gum disease involves deep cleaning the infected area and smoothing the tooth root. We can perform laser periodontal treatments, making the procedure more comfortable and less invasive than ever. Gum disease is one of the leading causes of more complex oral health problems, so don't leave it unattended. Come see us at Dentistry of Bethesda.
Taking Your Dental Care the Extra Mile
Other general dentistry services offered at our Bethesda dental office include TMJ therapy and custom athletic mouthguards for the athletes in your family. TMJ issues can often be alleviated with custom intraoral appliances that provide extra support and prevent pressure from nighttime teeth grinding (also known as bruxism). Ultimately, your oral health is our main concern, and we believe that just a little general dentistry care can go a long way toward helping you have a more satisfying smile.
