General Dentistry

Your smile is one of the first things people notice when meeting for the first time. First impressions aside, it’s important to maintain good oral health to protect your smile. General dentistry can evaluate, diagnose, and even prevent future oral health issues. Think of a general dentist just as your primary dental caretaker. They manage and treat your overall dental health.

All Family Dental & Braces offers high-quality, comprehensive dental care in 12 locations throughout Chicagoland. Our skilled staff are experts in all areas of dentistry, including specialties such as orthodontics, implants, bridges, dentures, cosmetic dentistry and children’s dentistry.

What Services Does a General Dentist Offer?

All Family Dental & Braces will help you manage your complete oral health needs, and those of your children, through every stage of life. We offer a complete range of general dentistry services, including checkups, cleaning, tooth fillings, crowns, dental bridges and dental implants. The primary expectations of general dentistry are visual inspections and evaluation of teeth and gum health, teeth and gums. General dentistry also includes a range of treatments from preventative to structural or cosmetic solutions:

Regular Check ups and cleaning: Dental checkups are routine visits that consist of an examination and cleaning. Even dedicated brushers and flossers should have a thorough dental exam and cleaning twice per year. Brushing and flossing each day are important steps to ensuring your mouth is healthy, but only your dental hygienist will be able to give you the results that professional tools and a second-person viewpoint can provide.
Tooth fillings: A filling is one of the most common procedures that take place in a dental practice. A dental filling is treatment for tooth damaged by decay that restores its normal function and shape while preventing further decay.
Dental bridges: Dental bridges are an alternative to partial dentures, and they serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, enabling you to eat and speak better as well as restoring your teeth’s appearance. A dental bridge is made to look like natural teeth, inserted between either natural teeth or implants on either side, and positioned over a space where two or more teeth once were.
Dental Implants: A dental implant serves as an artificial substitute for the root of a lost tooth. For a variety of reasons including tooth decay and poor dental hygiene, the loss of a tooth without proper treatment can cause longer term oral problems. To prevent the decaying of gums and other issues, a dental implant may be needed.
Teeth whitening: Professionally administered whitening, also known as dental bleaching, is a safe, easy and popular aesthetic procedure that can be performed using a wide range of techniques and application protocols.
Root canal therapy: Also known as Endodontic Therapy, this procedure treats inflammation or infection that has taken root inside the pulp of a tooth. Root canal therapy eliminates the infection and protects the decontaminated tooth from serious damage and discomfort.
Partial dentures: Losing some of your teeth is never enjoyable. Partial dentures can be used to replace multiple teeth in the upper or lower portion of your mouth. To get partial dentures, you must have some healthy teeth remaining around the dentures.
Dental crowns: Adults of all ages may have a dental issue in which a dental crown is the best solution. Often, dental crowns are used to protect a weak tooth from further breaking down, or to restore an already broken or worn down tooth. A dental crown will help protect the tooth and prevent damage to the tooth structure or nerves of the tooth.
