General Dentistry Tool

Romans & Soltani Dentistry provides general dentistry services to the Camillus, NY community, taking steps to support ongoing oral health and beautiful smiles. General dentistry is the practice of helping patients preserve their teeth for a lifetime, and involves a variety of common practices and procedures for reaching this goal. Research has been revealing that oral health is important for more than just maintaining a beautiful smile. Poor oral health has been implicated as having a negative effect on whole body health and exacerbating the risk of cardiovascular disease.

What Procedures Are Included As Part Of General Dentistry?

General dentistry covers a broad range of procedures that help patients maintain good oral health and manage cases where problems are occurring as the result of trauma or poor oral hygiene. The heart of general dentistry is regular visits to the dentist, usually once every six months for a check-up and cleaning. In addition to this basic practice, these other procedures also fall under its umbrella:

  • Crowns & Bridgework – When teeth have been lost these procedures can help restore a beautiful smile.

  • Dental Implants – Another permanent option for the replacement of lost teeth.

  • Extractions – When teeth are no longer able to be saved extractions are necessary.

  • Fillings – This procedure is a restorative technique that can save damaged or decayed teeth.

  • Health Screenings – Dangerous diseases like oral cancer can be treated if caught early.

  • Orthodontics – Braces, Invisalign, and other procedures to help straighten your smile.

  • Dentures – Another replacement option for patients with missing teeth.

  • Root Canal Treatments – The best solution for saving decayed or infected teeth.

  • Sealants – A preventative measure to protect teeth from cavities.

  • TMD Treatment – For handling concerns with the temporomandibular joint and related concerns.

When Should I Go Schedule An Appointment With My Dentist?

Seeing your dentist should be done no less than once every six months as part of an ongoing preventative care plan. An unfortunate fact of the dental industry is that most patients don’t see their dentist until something has gone wrong. At this point it can be too late to save the tooth, or at the very least expensive treatments may be required that could have been avoided by maintaining regular visits. Patients with certain health conditions may need to visit their dentist more frequently than once every six months. Everyone should see their dentist at least that often to prevent the buildup of plaque and tarter.

When you schedule a routine visit with Dr. Romans or Dr. Soltani you will undergo a full dental exam. As part of this exam they will check your teeth and gums for decay, damage, and your whole mouth for signs of oral cancer. You’ll typically receive an x-ray as part of your visit to monitor the health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone in places hidden from the naked eye. If it’s been more than six months since your last visit to the dentist it’s time to pick up the phone and give our office a call at 1-315-487-1545. We’ll schedule you for an appointment and start you on the road to great dental health!
