GENERAL DENTISTRY
Why Does General Dentistry Need to be Done
General dentistry is essential to maintaining your health and wellbeing by focusing on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dental problems. Regular visits to the general dentist are important for many reasons.
Preventative Health
The focus of general dentistry is on preventive measures, such as regular dental examinations, cleanings and education about oral health. These preventive measures allow for early detection of dental issues, which allows for treatment and intervention before the problem becomes more serious.
Early Detection of Dental Problems
Routine dental examinations allow dentists to detect dental issues such as cavities, gingivitis, and oral carcinoma early, when they are more easily treated. Early detection of dental problems can save you money and time by preventing the need for costly and extensive treatments in the future.
Maintaining Dental Health
The goal of general dentistry is to maintain optimal oral health. This includes addressing dental issues such as plaque buildup, tartar, tooth decay and gum disease. General dentists can help you maintain the health of your gums and teeth by addressing them promptly. This will reduce the likelihood of future oral health complications.
Preventing Tooth Loss
Losing teeth can have serious consequences on your oral health, appearance and quality of life. By addressing dental problems and restoring damaged teeth, general dentistry can help prevent tooth loss.
Promote Overall Health
Oral health is closely related to your overall well-being. Untreated dental problems and poor oral hygiene have been linked to an increased risk for systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes and respiratory infections. By addressing systemic issues, general dentistry promotes overall health.
Education
Dentists can provide you with valuable information and guidance about oral hygiene, diet, and lifestyle decisions that may affect your oral health. They provide personalized advice and tips that will help you to maintain good dental hygiene at home, and make informed decisions regarding your dental care.
Comprehensive Dental Care
The term general dentistry covers a broad range of dental procedures including emergency dental care, cosmetic procedures and restorative treatment. General dentists have been trained to provide comprehensive dental care for all age groups and address a wide range of dental concerns.

General Dentistry Services
- Routine Exams and Cleanings : Regular dental examinations and cleanings help maintain optimal oral health, preventing dental issues such as tooth decay, gum disease and cavities. During the exam, Dr. Karbasi assesses your oral health and performs a thorough cleaning in order to remove tartar and plaque. He will also discuss any concerns you may have or make treatment recommendations.
- Digital Radiographs : We use advanced digital radiography to take detailed images of the teeth, gums and jawbone while exposing you to minimal radiation. Digital X-rays allow us to detect early dental problems such as infections, abnormalities, and cavities.
- Oral Cancer screenings: Early detection is the key to successfully treat oral cancer. Dr. Karbasi performs a comprehensive oral screening during your dental examination to look for abnormal tissue and lesions.
- Fillings: If you have a tooth cavity or minor damage, dental fillings can restore strength, function and appearance. Our tooth-colored dental fillings blend in seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth. They are a durable and discreet solution to repair cavities.
- Gum Disease treatment: Gum or periodontal diseases can cause serious oral health issues if not treated. We provide a variety of treatments for gum diseases, such as scaling and root planning, antibiotic therapy and advanced periodontal techniques to restore gum health.
- Root Canal Therapy : Root canal therapy is often necessary for an infected tooth or damaged tooth to relieve pain and save it. Dr. Karbasi uses gentle, precise root canal treatment to remove the infected tissue and clean the root system. He then seals the tooth to prevent reinfection.
- Dental Crowns and Bridges : Dental bridges and crowns are an effective solution for replacing damaged or missing teeth. Our custom-made bridges and crowns are made from high-quality materials and can restore your smile's strength, functionality, and aesthetics.
- Dentures : Partial dentures are a removable solution to restore oral function and appearance for patients who have lost multiple teeth. Our dentures can be custom-fitted to give you a natural and comfortable smile.
