What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the everyday care that keeps your teeth, gums and bite healthy for life. It begins with a comprehensive exam, in which Dr. Haroonian evaluates your teeth, gums, jaw and bite using digital X-rays, intraoral cameras and caries detection dye. Professional cleanings remove hardened tartar and reduce gum inflammation, while early detection lets us treat small problems before they become larger ones. When treatment is needed, we repair decayed or damaged teeth with natural-looking restorations, treat infected teeth, and remove teeth that cannot be saved as gently as possible. Every visit ends with a custom care plan and practical advice for protecting your smile at home.
