What Is General Dentistry?

General dentistry focuses on preventive and routine care to keep your smile healthy and prevent future problems. Dr. Knowles and our team emphasize early detection, minimally invasive treatment, and personalized care for lasting comfort and confidence.

Preventive Care That Protects Your Smile

A proactive approach to oral health can save you time, money, and discomfort. Our preventive treatments and regular checkups help detect early signs of decay, gum disease, and other conditions before they progress.

Our general dentistry services include:

Cleanings & Exams

Routine cleanings and exams are the foundation of good oral health. During your visit, we remove plaque buildup, check for cavities, and screen for gum disease and other issues to keep your smile healthy year-round.

Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency is any situation that causes severe pain, bleeding, infection, or damage to your teeth or gums.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities. They’re especially beneficial for children, teens, and patients with higher cavity risk.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection saves lives. Our oral cancer screenings are fast, comfortable, and designed to identify early warning signs that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Sealants

Dental sealants provide a protective barrier over the grooves of back teeth, helping to prevent decay in hard-to-reach areas—an excellent preventive measure for kids and adults alike.

Emergency Dentistry When You Need It Most

Dental problems don’t always happen on schedule. That’s why we offer prompt care for dental emergencies. Whether you’re dealing with a severe toothache, broken tooth, or injury, Dr. Knowles and our compassionate team prioritize same-day appointments to relieve pain and restore your smile quickly.

We’re here to help when you need urgent care, with advanced technology that allows for efficient diagnosis and treatment in a single visit whenever possible.
