What is a general dentist?
While some dentists have a specific field of focus, including orthodontists, general dentists can treat a variety of dental issues. Their key priority is maintaining patients’ dental health with preventative services and treatments for common problems. As highly-qualified professionals, they have studied and trained for at least as long, if not longer, than other specialists.
What general dentistry services do we offer?
At Absolute Dental, we are a comprehensive general dental practice that offers quality services to improve the health, function, and appearance of your teeth. Our Reno team of general dentists offers the following:
Teeth cleanings
Regular teeth cleanings by professionals will remove harmful bacteria and plaque that eat away at teeth enamel and cause tooth decay and gum disease. Even if you carefully brush and floss your teeth, bacteria can hide in hard-to-reach areas and cause dental issues over time. We use special dental tools to get between the teeth and just underneath the gums for a thorough cleaning and a bright smile.
Dental fillings
A dental filling is a quick and effective way to treat a tooth that develops a cavity. Your dentist will numb the area, clear away the tooth decay, and fill in the hole with a durable composite material that can last for decades. Composite fillings look just like natural teeth, so you don’t have to worry about unsightly or outdated metallic fillings.
Root canals
When tooth decay reaches the sensitive inner pulp of the tooth, a painful infection can develop as the nerves become irritated and inflamed. A root canal is a common procedure that clears away the infected tissue and protects the exposed tooth with a root canal crown. A general dentist can perform this treatment in one of our Reno dental offices.
Dental crowns
If you experience a dental emergency that damages a tooth or have a more extensive dental procedure, you may need a dental crown. Made of durable, natural-looking material, a crown caps vulnerable or broken teeth to provide protection and strength. Patients with dental crowns have improved functionality and reduced risk of dental damage.
Dental bridges
For a missing tooth between two healthy teeth, a dental bridge may be the perfect solution. We offer different types of dental bridges that fill the gap with a false tooth, anchored to the surrounding teeth, restoring your smile’s appearance and functionality. Contact us to learn more about our dental bridge cost and what dental insurance we accept.
Dentures
Dental patients with multiple missing teeth don’t have to hide their smiles. Dentures are more durable and comfortable than ever, offering improved function when eating and speaking. You can smile with confidence knowing your new or replacement dentures from Absolute Dental are the perfect fit.
