Your Dental Health Matters
What is general dentistry?
General dentistry encompasses a broad range of dental services to maintain oral health and prevent dental issues. It includes routine check-ups, cleanings, and treatments for common dental problems. Our dental care is designed for patients who take a proactive approach to their oral health. Our dentists will address emergencies and oftentimes act as liaisons to specialists that may be needed for more specific dental treatments. Our Paramus office offers preventive care, restorative treatments, cosmetic procedures, minor orthodontics, and oral and periodontal surgery, including implant placement. Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health, contributing to your overall well-being.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
What is the general dentistry exam process like?
You'll be greeted by our friendly staff when you visit our office. We'll review your medical history and discuss any concerns you may have.
A new patient can expect to have a thorough dental examination including x-rays and extensive data collection, as well as photos and digital scans so that we can determine and discuss the existing state of dental health. The findings are discussed as we take you on a tour of your mouth. During that first visit, it’s important that we understand your health goals so that we can present you with treatment that best fits your needs and desires.
Your first visit may also include professional cleaning, oral cancer screening, or other adjunctive services. Treatments like veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening, or other dental care options like cosmetic dentistry or restorative dentistry are often discussed with those who want to understand what their treatment options are. Our team uses advanced technology to ensure accurate diagnoses and comfortable dental procedures. We prioritize patient education, explaining each step and offering advice on maintaining your oral health at home.
Comprehensive Dental Care
What conditions does general dentistry address?
General dentistry addresses a wide range of oral health issues. These include tooth decay, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, and oral infections.
We also treat damaged teeth, missing teeth, and alignment problems. Regular check-ups allow us to detect and address potential issues early, preventing more serious problems down the line. Our comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of your oral health are cared for.
Same-Day Treatments Chipped and Broken Teeth
At Dr. Dayna Cassandra & Associates, we use cutting-edge CEREC technology to provide same-day inlays and onlays for chipped or broken teeth. These restorations are a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution designed to repair damage while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. CEREC allows us to custom-design your inlay or onlay with exceptional precision and place it during a single appointment, saving you time and eliminating the need for temporary restorations.
Unlike traditional crowns, inlays and onlays are minimally invasive and focus only on the damaged areas of your tooth, ensuring a conservative yet effective treatment. Made from high-quality ceramic materials, they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a flawless result. Whether you're dealing with a chipped tooth or a larger area of decay, same-day inlays and onlays restore your tooth's strength and function quickly and comfortably, so you can leave our office with a healthier, more confident smile.
Comfortable Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy offers effective relief for severe tooth pain and infections while preserving your natural tooth. When decay or damage reaches the tooth's pulp, it can cause intense discomfort and jeopardize oral health. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the tooth, and seals it to prevent further issues. Our skilled team uses advanced techniques to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. With root canal therapy, we help you restore your tooth’s health and functionality, so you can smile with confidence again.
The Reach Of Proper Oral Health
What areas of the body can general dentistry address?
General dentistry primarily focuses on the mouth, including the teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw.
However, oral health is closely linked to overall health. Issues in the mouth can sometimes affect other body parts and overall systemic health. For example, gum disease has been linked to heart problems, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. By maintaining good oral health through general dentistry, you're contributing to your overall well-being. In addition, many health issues contribute to dental disease, specifically, sleep-disordered breathing conditions like sleep apnea.
Life-Long Dental Wellness
What are the benefits of general dentistry?
Regular general dentistry visits offer numerous benefits. They help prevent dental problems, saving you from potential pain and more extensive treatments in the future. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can't, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Early detection of issues allows for more conservative and cost-effective treatments. Maintaining good oral health also contributes to a confident smile and better overall health.
A Personalized Approach
Am I a candidate for general dentistry?
Everyone is a candidate for general dentistry! Regular dental care is crucial for maintaining oral health, from children to seniors. We recommend regular check-ups and professional cleanings for most patients. Some individuals may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health status; this usually ranges from 2-4 times per year. If you have specific concerns or a history of dental problems, we can create a personalized care plan to address your unique needs.
General Dentistry Recovery
Most general dentistry procedures require little to no recovery time. After a routine cleaning or check-up, you can immediately return to your normal activities. For more involved procedures like fillings or crowns, you may experience some sensitivity for a short period. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and comfort. Our team is always available to address any concerns during your recovery.
Lasting Oral Health
General Dentistry Results
The results of regular general dentistry visits are long-lasting and cumulative. With consistent care, you can expect healthier teeth and gums, fewer dental problems, and a brighter smile. Preventive measures help maintain your natural teeth for longer. While some treatments provide immediate results (like fillings or cleanings), the true benefit of general dentistry is the long-term preservation of oral health.
