General Dentistry
General Dentistry in North & South Carolina
General dentistry, also referred to as family dentistry, includes the services provided by primary dental care providers.
A general dentist treats patients of all ages with services focused on maintaining oral hygiene and tooth health. Your primary provider diagnoses and treats dental issues and coordinates specialized care, such as oral surgery, when needed.
Preventive And Restorative Dental Care
Because a general dentist is your first line of defense against oral health issues, much of general dentistry is preventive. Friendly Dental Group dentists are trained in a wide range of dental procedures and regularly provide restorative services.
Our first priority is the comfort and health of our patients. Talk with your dentist about your oral health goals and keep up with regular check-ups so you can review treatment options together.
Dental Fillings
If structural damage is found during a check-up, a dental filling can restore the strength and structure of the tooth. Your dentist can explain the available materials and help you choose an appropriate option.
Root Canals
When damage is advanced, root canal therapy may be needed to remove infected pulp, seal the tooth, and prepare it for a crown. Some cases may be referred to an endodontist.
Crowns
Dental crowns repair extensively decayed or damaged teeth. Crowns are available in materials such as metal and porcelain, and your dentist can recommend the best fit for your situation.
