Show Off a Beautiful Smile With General Dental Treatment
Our team offers you several types of general dentistry treatments:
- Dental Cleanings and Exams – We’ll first give you a complete exam, including screening you for oral cancer. Then we’ll thoroughly clean and polish your teeth to give you that fresh-from-the-dentist feeling. If we find any problems, we’ll make recommendations for other treatments.
- Preventive Treatments – Fluoride treatment will help strengthen and remineralize your tooth enamel. Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that form a protective barrier against disease-causing bacteria. Both can help you avoid cavities.
- Gum Disease Treatment – We’ll examine you for signs of gum disease and recommend further treatment if needed. We’ll use special instruments to remove built up plaque and tartar during a deep cleaning. Then we’ll smooth your teeth roots to help prevent bacteria from collecting there.
- Custom Mouthguards – Our professional mouthguards can be made for any of several purposes. We offer custom mouthguards to protect your and your family’s teeth during sports. We can also make a custom appliance to stop harmful teeth grinding. Finally, if you have TMJ pain, our appliances will relieve tension on your jaw joints so they can begin to heal.
- Dry Mouth Treatment – To assist you in managing this condition, we offer a line of products from PerioSciences®. They help keep your mouth lubricated, so you feel more comfortable and avoid other oral problems like cavities.
- Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment – We’ll screen you for gum disease, a major cause of halitosis, and recommend treatment as needed. We may also recommend oral probiotics and PerioSciences products to help with your breath problem.

Always a 5 star experience. Cathy brings a gentleness, care and thoroughness to her work that really stands out among dentists. She puts one at ease, exhibiting real empathy. I’ve never know her to get ruffled or distracted. Her speech is always metered and soothing, her communication free of jargon, adapted to your knowledge level, and you can tell she is listening. There is a joy and good humor about her. I was one of her first patients, and I have to say these same qualities have been with her the whole way. Professional, respectful, knowledgeable, experienced, skillful, focused, and kind. I would recommend her to anyone.

Great Experience. Dr Taylor took a lot of time to discuss a plan for me. I had my teeth cleaned and that was a breeze. Their office staff was friendly and helpful . The office was very clean and the equipment they used was excellent. I highly recommend Dr Taylor .My last visit was this past week for just my regular scheduled teeth cleaning . That procedure was better than any I’ve had over the years. Thier office is very high tech and the Hygenist was very informative. I had no pain and she was extremely knowledgeable . There really is a difference for who you use. Dr Taylor is kind , funny and every thing you would want in a Dentist. Your teeth are a very important detail in your quality of life. I cant recommend them enough Susan C

J. F. (Verified Patient)
I came in with molar pain and cold sensitivity. The staff were friendly and competent. Dr. Taylor took x-rays only of the problematic tooth and did not insist on full x-rays. She found the problem and gave suggestions. She suggested a “wait and see” rather than a new crown, which was a possibility. I appreciate the cautious approach. Best of all, the entire dentistry inspires confidence and I will continue to use their services.

Common Questions About General Dentistry
Daily oral hygiene is essential to keeping your mouth clean and healthy. But as important as brushing and flossing are, they aren’t enough on their own to protect your teeth and gums. General dentistry covers a wide range of treatments designed to help you prevent and detect dental problems, so you can keep your oral health on track.
Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you’re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.
Fluoride, a mineral found in many foods and water, helps prevent cavities by making your tooth enamel stronger. It can even reverse early-stage decay. Since it contributes to the development of healthy teeth, children under 12 may benefit from fluoride treatment. In addition, cavity-prone adults may benefit as well. Ask us about fluoride if you have dry mouth, gum disease, or wear braces or other orthodontia.
