Why Should I See a General Dentist?

Your general dentist is your first line of defense when it comes to maintaining a healthy smile. From regular checkups to early detection of potential problems, general dentistry provides the foundation for lifelong oral health. Here’s why regular visits to a general dentist in Long Beach are so important.

Preventive Care

Regular visits to a general dentist help maintain your oral health through cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Preventive care can stop small issues before they become big problems.

Early Detection

General dentists are skilled at identifying potential concerns, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer, in their early stages. Early detection leads to more effective, less invasive treatment options.

Comprehensive Care

General dentists provide a wide range of services, from preventive care to restorative treatments, ensuring your entire family’s dental needs are met under one roof.

Digital X-Rays & Sensors

Our digital x-rays use digital sensors to capture highly detailed images of your teeth and significantly reduce your radiation exposure compared to traditional film x-rays. Digital sensors are comfortable because they're flat with rounded edges, unlike the bulky clip used with films.

The high-quality x-ray images produced are immediately available for our dentists to review with you and show you areas of concern. Unlike film x-rays, there's no processing time involved, which allows for faster diagnosis and less time spent in the dental chair. And since no harsh chemicals are involved, digital x-rays are safer for the environment.

Intraoral Cameras

An intraoral camera is a small handheld device that captures detailed images of your mouth and teeth as we perform your exam. The images are displayed on screen in real-time, so you can follow along as we easily identify problem areas like decay, broken or cracked teeth, and signs of gum disease.

Intraoral cameras are also an important educational tool because you can see what we see, informing you about your dental needs and helping you understand why we recommend treatment.
