What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the primary care branch of oral healthcare, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth and gums. Brush Dentistry provides comprehensive general dentistry services in Saginaw, TX, designed to maintain optimal oral health for patients of all ages. Dr. Shakeel and Dr. Norwood prioritize early intervention and preventive care, minimizing the risk of serious dental issues and ensuring your smile remains strong and healthy.
Routine Check-Ups & Cleanings
Regular dental visits are the cornerstone of a healthy smile. Even with excellent at-home brushing, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. During your visit, our team performs thorough dental exams and professional cleanings to remove these deposits.
Our preventive appointments typically include:
-
Professional Polishing: Removing surface stains and plaque buildup.
-
Hygiene Review: Creating a personalized plan to improve your home care.
-
Safety Checks: Conducting oral cancer screenings to detect abnormalities early.
Gum Health & Periodontal Care
Healthy gums are essential for a stable and functional smile. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and systemic health complications. Brush Dentistry assesses your periodontal health at every visit to catch signs of infection early.
Our periodontal services include:
-
Deep Cleanings: Scaling and root planing to remove bacteria from below the gum line.
-
Infection Control: Utilizing dental antibiotic treatments to target aggressive bacteria.
-
Therapy Options: Offering nonsurgical gum disease treatment and ongoing periodontal disease treatment to manage chronic conditions.
Restorative Care: Fillings & Extractions
Restorative dentistry is necessary when teeth are damaged by decay or trauma. We utilize high-quality composite materials for cavity fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural enamel. In cases where a tooth is damaged beyond repair or causes overcrowding, we perform comfortable tooth extractions.
Our restorative approach ensures:
-
Aesthetics: Fillings that look natural and invisible.
-
Comfort: A gentle, patient-centered approach to all procedures, from fillings to wisdom teeth removal.
-
Function: Restoring the integrity of your bite to prevent further damage.
Advanced Diagnostics & Technology
Digital technology is crucial for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning. We use state-of-the-art digital X-rays to obtain a detailed view of your jaw and teeth with minimal radiation exposure. This allows Dr. Shakeel and Dr. Norwood to identify hidden issues such as impacted teeth or bone loss that are not visible during a standard visual exam.
Preventive Treatments for All Ages
Prevention is the best defense against dental decay. We offer targeted treatments to protect the enamel and reduce the risk of cavities for both children and adults. Key preventive services include:
-
Fluoride treatment: A mineral application that strengthens enamel and resists decay.
-
Dental sealants: A thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to block out cavity-causing bacteria.
-
Custom Mouthguards: Protection for athletes and patients who grind their teeth at night.
