What is General Dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on maintaining the health, function, and appearance of your teeth and gums. It includes preventive care, routine checkups, and treatments that address everyday dental concerns. At Azusa Dental Clinic, we provide customized care for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services to keep your smile healthy and strong.
Why is General Dentistry necessary?
General dentistry plays a key role in protecting your oral health. Regular visits help prevent cavities, treat gum disease, relieve tooth pain, and restore proper chewing and function. These treatments also support the appearance of your smile by addressing early concerns before they become bigger problems. Consistent general dental care is essential for maintaining long term oral health and overall well-being.
Our General Dentistry services
Regular cleanings remove plaque and buildup that brushing alone can’t reach. Professional cleanings keep your teeth healthy, prevent decay, and support long term oral health.
Our treatment targets bacteria below the gumline, reduces inflammation, and helps restore healthy gums—protecting your teeth and supporting long-term oral health.
Fillings repair teeth affected by decay and restore their strength and function. We use durable, natural looking materials to help protect your smile.
This quick, painless screening helps detect early signs of oral cancer, ensuring timely care and supporting long-term oral health.
Extractions remove damaged or problematic teeth to protect your oral health. When necessary, we perform extractions safely and comfortably to prevent further issues.
Custom-made night guards help protect your teeth from grinding and clenching, reduce jaw discomfort, and support healthier, more restful sleep.
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and often cause pain or discomfort. We provide fast, reliable care to address urgent issues and protect your oral health.
Regular checkups help keep your child’s smile healthy as they grow. We offer gentle exams and cleanings to support good habits and early dental development.
We monitor your child’s jaw and tooth development to identify issues early. Guided growth helps support proper bite alignment and reduces the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later.
