General dentistry involves primary dental care to maintain oral health, including cleanings, checkups, fillings, and treatments for issues like cavities and gum disease. General dentists also educate patients on oral hygiene and may refer them to specialists when needed.

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's smile through treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and orthodontics. It aims to enhance the color, shape, alignment, and overall aesthetic of the teeth, helping individuals achieve a more attractive and confident smile.

Preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues before they occur. It includes regular checkups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and education on proper oral hygiene. The goal is to reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems through proactive care.

Crown and bridge work restores damaged or missing teeth. A crown covers a weakened tooth, while a bridge replaces missing teeth by attaching artificial ones to adjacent natural teeth. Both treatments restore function, improve appearance, and maintain bite alignment.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a durable, natural-looking solution for restoring both the function and appearance of a lost tooth, supporting crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants offer a long-term, stable alternative to traditional tooth replacements.

Dentures and partials are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth, attaching to remaining natural teeth. Both options restore function, improve appearance, and help maintain the shape of the face and smile.

A dentist can help with sleep apnea and snoring by providing custom-made oral appliances, or mandibular advancement devices, that reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. These devices reduce snoring and improve breathing. Dentists can also screen for sleep apnea and collaborate with other healthcare providers for comprehensive treatment.

Your dentist can help with teeth grinding (bruxism) and TMJ disorders by providing custom mouthguards or splints to protect teeth and relieve jaw tension. These devices prevent damage and reduce TMJ pain. Dentists may also treat underlying causes, such as misalignment or stress.
