Everything you need to achieve and maintain healthy teeth and gums.

General Dentistry

When it comes to healthy teeth and gums for life, general and preventive dentistry are still your best defense.

Preventive dentistry is about preventing dental health issues, and it includes:

Dental Checkups
Dental Cleanings
Periodic X-Rays
Dental Sealants
Fluoride Treatments

General dentistry in Columbus, OH, is the maintenance arm of dental care and includes treatments like restorations (tooth-colored fillings and dental crowns), tooth extractions, tooth replacement, and general conservation treatments and services.

Your Partner in Lifelong Oral Health

We take a collaborative approach to dental health. In other words, we typically see you every six months for preventive checkups and dental cleanings. At the same time, we emphasize at-home prevention between the twice-yearly dental visits.

For your part, we recommend:

Brushing and flossing at least twice daily
Talking to our dental team if you notice oral health changes
Talking to our dental team if you have questions about your dental health
Wearing a mouthguard during contact- or ball-oriented sports
Wearing a nightguard for grinding and clenching (bruxism)

Our dental team can also discuss the best choices for nutrition and hydration and provide brushing and flossing tips.
