Where can I find a dental clinic offering professional general dentistry services near me?
General dentistry focuses on the generalized care of the smile and preventative dentistry solutions. Drs. Jennifer Wahlen and John Torghele of Wahlen Dentistry provide patients with the care they need to keep a healthy smile for life! When you call our office, we can schedule you for an evaluation and check-up to determine the current health of your smile and any additional procedures you might need. We look for signs of decay, disease, and oral cancer and then make recommendations for the care necessary to get your smile clean, beautiful, and healthy!
What are some general dentistry services provided at our office or a dental clinic near me in Perry, Utah?
Below are just some of the services we offer under the umbrella of general dentistry:
- Cleanings and evaluations. First and foremost, we focus on the health of your smile from the minute you sit down in the treatment chair, assessing for problems such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. We’ll also ask you about your daily brushing and flossing habits and any concerns or complaints you may have.
- Fluoride treatments and sealants. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens teeth against the threat of tooth decay. The chewing surfaces of molars, or back teeth, are coated with thin layers called sealants, which prevent food particles and bacteria from becoming lodged in microscopic cracks.
- Gum disease treatments. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gum tissues caused by plaque buildup on teeth at the gum line. If left unaddressed, this swelling can lead to tooth loss. We offer deep cleanings and other periodontal therapies to restore your gums to health.
- Cavity fillings. When bacteria eat away at tooth enamel, the result is a cavity – a small hole in your tooth that needs to be filled so it doesn’t get larger.
- Extraction. Sometimes, a tooth may be too damaged or decayed for any treatment option except extraction. This procedure involves removing the entire tooth and its root system from its socket in the jawbone.
- Mouthguards. Protecting your teeth during sports is important no matter what age you are. We make custom-fit athletic mouthguards to reduce impact from falls, collisions, and other accidents when playing contact or high-speed sports.
