- Dental ExaminationThe focus of your General Dentist is to ensure your overall oral health. They do frequent oral exams to detect oral cancer, cavities, and gum disease. They are the experts in restoring or replacing teeth. They help you maintain a healthy mouth with preventive care. They can also give you a beautiful smile with the latest techniques in esthetics.
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningUsually, you will go to your general dentist and their in-office hygienist for standard dental cleanings. These cleanings, though, are preventative and don’t necessarily treat deeper problems or advanced gum disease. If you need deep cleanings below the gum line or have gum disease or bone problems, you will likely need to see a periodontist.
- Fillings
- CrownsPeriodontists can perform both cosmetic and restorative gum care procedures. For example, dental crown lengthening improves the appearance of the mouth by correcting a “gummy” smile. Scaling and root planing can treat and prevent periodontal disease by cleaning deeply into the pockets around the teeth.
- Root Canal TreatmentThis is one of the most common endodontic FAQs. Diagnosing oral and facial pain can be very complex. Dr. Karmali wants to spend the time to determine if endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) is best for you. This helps us ensure that you are getting the ideal treatment for your unique situation. The evaluation appointment also gives us the opportunity to customize your treatment and make sure that we have answered all of your questions.
