Taking care of your smile doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. At its heart, general dentistry focuses on helping you sustain healthy teeth and gums throughout every stage of your life while also catching potential problems before they become painful or expensive to treat. Whether you’re visiting for a routine cleaning or addressing a specific concern, general dentistry provides the foundation for excellent oral health.
At Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry, we provide a broad range of preventive and restorative treatments created to keep your mouth healthy and functioning correctly throughout every stage of life. From regular exams, oral cancer screenings, and cleanings to fillings and crowns, these services address both immediate needs and long-term oral health goals. We believe in creating a judgement-free environment where you can receive quality care without unnecessary anxiety or uncertainty.
Preventive Care
Prevention is considered the most effective way to maintain oral health and avoid complex dental problems down the road. Regular dental assessments allow us to track your oral health, uncover potential issues early, and provide targeted recommendations for your specific needs. During these visits, we examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to ensure everything stays on track.
In addition, professional cleanings complement your at-home oral hygiene routine by removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing may miss. The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing once a day, and replacing your toothbrush every three to four months. These simple-to-follow habits, combined with regular professional care, form the foundation of excellent oral health.
Oral Cancer Screenings and Early Detection
During your regular visits, we also perform complete oral cancer screenings as part of our commitment to your overall health. These screenings help identify any unusual changes in your mouth’s soft tissues early when treatment options are most effective. Early identification can make a considerable difference in treatment outcomes and your long-term health.
Restorative Treatments
When dental problems do arise, general dentistry offers numerous solutions to restore your teeth’s health, function, and appearance. Cavities remain one of the most prevalent dental concerns, but modern treatment options make addressing them more comfortable and effective than ever before.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings help strengthen teeth damaged by decay, returning them to their ideal function and shape. We use tooth-colored materials that blend flawlessly with your natural teeth, offering both durability and aesthetic appeal. For more extensive damage, crowns may be recommended to provide additional strength and protection.
Crowns
Crowns can strengthen teeth that have large cavities when there isn’t enough healthy tooth structure to support a filling. They can also be used to attach dental bridges or protect weakened or broken teeth. These versatile restorations help preserve your natural teeth while ensuring they continue to function correctly for years to come.
Managing Common Oral Health Concerns
Many people experience tooth sensitivity at some point, which can make eating and drinking certain foods uncomfortable. This sensitivity often occurs when the protective layer of your teeth becomes compromised, exposing the sensitive inner layers of your teeth. We can help identify the cause of your sensitivity and recommend appropriate treatments to provide relief.
Dry mouth presents another common concern that can significantly impact your oral health. Dry mouth—also called xerostomia—results from an inadequate flow of saliva. Saliva is the mouth’s primary defense against tooth decay. If you experience persistent dry mouth, we can discuss potential causes and solutions to help protect your oral health.
The Importance of Regular Dental Care
Despite the development of effective treatments and preventive measures, approximately 100 million Americans fail to visit a dentist each year, even though regular dental examinations and good oral hygiene are shown to prevent most dental diseases. At Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry, we stress the importance of regular dental visits to sustain your oral health proactively rather than reactively, often preventing minor issues from becoming major problems.
During your visits, we take time to educate you about proper oral hygiene techniques and answer any questions or concerns you may have about your oral health. We believe informed patients make better decisions about their care and achieve better long-term outcomes.
Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Life
General dentistry adapts to meet your changing needs throughout different life stages. Children benefit from fluoride treatments and sealants to protect their developing teeth, while adults may need a greater focus on gum health and the restoration of existing dental work. Seniors often require specialized care to address age-related changes in oral health.
At Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry, we appreciate that each patient brings unique needs, concerns, and goals to their dental care. Because of this, our approach centers on developing personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific situation while still fitting within your lifestyle and budget.
