Diagnosing and treating dental issues before pain occurs is the best way to keep teeth intact and functioning properly. General dentistry includes small fillings, porcelain inlays or onlays, and crowns, depending on the level of decay or remaining structure of a tooth.
We believe in treating issues early, but conservatively. In the absence of pain, decay that has not crossed the enamel layer can often be monitored, but once it has crossed into the inner layer, it’s best to remove the decay and restore the tooth. A dentist’s job is to determine which restorative option is advised to preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible.
Whether it’s your first cleaning in a while or your hundredth checkup, we treat every visit as a chance to spot issues before they become painful or expensive. Your general dentistry appointment with Dr. Gold includes a comprehensive exam, professional cleaning, digital x-rays when needed, oral cancer screening, and a clear, honest conversation about anything we find.
We don’t upsell. We don’t pad treatment plans. If everything looks great, we’ll tell you that — and see you in six months.
