We will check for all sorts of dental problems such as gum disease, tooth decay, oral cancer, and more. We want to make sure we catch any problems as early as possible. Your first appointment with our family dentist is designed to be simple and focused on your dental exam.

Preventive Services
Dental exams and regular teeth cleanings are a major part of the preventive services we offer to our patients. In addition to offering these services at your initial appointment, our family dentist and assisting personnel will also help you maintain a routine cleaning and exam schedule. This schedule (usually a visit to our office every six months) helps you maintain clean teeth and gums and allows us to detect any possible dental issue as soon as it comes up. This way you can avoid the need for major procedures such as laser gum therapy, dental crowns, dental implants, or root canals. As part of your dental exam, you and your dentist may also discuss any additional concerns you may have. Our general dentistry services may also include recommending fluoride treatments, varnishes, nutritional counseling, or mouth guards, depending on your individual needs.
Gum Disease Treatment
Welcoming patients from across Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, NC, and the nearby communities, during your dental exam, our family dentist with also take this opportunity to look for any signs of gum disease. Gum disease is often one of the first diagnoses we make. This affliction is very common, affecting many, many patients who come into our office. For very minor cases, a simple cleaning may be all it takes to eradicate the infection. In other more complicated cases, we may need to employ a technique called scaling and root planning, or even laser gum therapy. This deep cleaning procedure will help to remove the bacteria from under your gums. To learn more about gum disease treatment and how we work to prevent it, please visit our page here.
