General Dentistry
Your general dentist prevents tooth decay and gum disease from wrecking your smile, but did you know that he may also be able to reduce your risk for heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and pregnancy complications? Scientists are narrowing the gap between oral health and systemic health, and new studies show that a disease-free mouth may be your best defense against more serious health threats.
As your comprehensive general dentist, Dr. Elmore will inspect your teeth and soft-tissues for signs of oral cancer, periodontal disease, and dental caries, and he'll check to make sure your teeth fit together properly. If you snore or grind your teeth, he may be able to alleviate your symptoms with a custom nightguard. By treating these and other dental conditions early on, you will reduce your chances of developing advanced dental problems and overall health concerns in the future.
Our general dentistry services include:
- Athletic Mouthguards
- Extractions
- Gum Disease Therapy
- Nightguards for Bruxism
- Orthodontics
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Snoreguards for Sleep Apnea
