General Dentistry Services in Toledo & Sylvania
What Makes Our General Dentists Special?
General dentists have studied all facets of dentistry and can provide high-quality care to patients who have general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry needs. Our dentists have earned their medical degrees from respected institutions. They understand that providing friendly, personalized, gentle care is just as important as the specific skills they can offer.
Most of our dentists’ time is spent on preventative care. Cleanings and examinations are the best way to keep your teeth, gums, and bones in great condition, while avoiding the need for more serious procedures later. Early signs of tooth infection can be addressed with fillings, while scaling and root planing (also known as a deep cleaning) can address early signs of periodontal disease.
Our dentists are also trained and experienced in more invasive procedures like oral surgery. Their priority is maintaining a patient’s natural teeth whenever possible, but if teeth do come out, they can replace them with dental implants, dental bridges, or dentures. We also have state-of-the-art technology that allows us to provide care that is more efficient and comfortable than what many patients anticipate when they visit a dentist.

General Dentist Services Offered
Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease (or gum disease) is one of the most prevalent dental concerns among adults. Our team offers comprehensive care for all stages of gum disease, from early gingivitis to the more serious stages of periodontitis.
Laser Therapy
The introduction of lasers into our dental practice has made treatments quieter, quicker and more relaxing. We use dental lasers in a wide range of treatments, including cavity detection, gum recontouring and crown lengthening.
Oral Surgery
If you require oral surgery for the placement of dental implants or other treatments, we can provide this treatment in the comfort and convenience of our office. Keeping your treatment in-house saves you the time and hassle of having to see to another provider at a different practice.
Preventive Therapy
Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings play an integral role in preventing dental problems. Another popular preventive service is the placement of dental sealants to protect the back teeth from developing cavities. If we detect evidence of dental disease, our office is equipped with the latest diagnostic technology to help confirm our findings and provide more information about the problem.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry techniques make dental treatment comfortable and relaxing for people with fears or anxiety. If your fears about dental treatment keep you from seeing a dentist, we can give you special medication to relax you and help you get the care you need.
Single Visit Root Canals
At our practice, root canal therapy is gentle, safe and can be completed in a single treatment. Getting the infection treated and your tooth restored in just one appointment is convenient and allows you to get back to your normal schedule with minimal hassle.
Sleep Apnea Therapy
Our dentists are often the first to detect signs of obstructive sleep apnea, a type of sleep-disordered breathing. In coordination with sleep specialists, we can provide slim, lightweight oral appliances to help restore normal breathing.
Gagging Sensitivity
Our team understands that a sensitive gag reflex can make it difficult to receive professional dental care. We are trained in special techniques to minimize gagging and would be happy to discuss this with you during a consultation.
Maintaining healthy teeth and gums that last a lifetime is as easy as scheduling regular dental appointments.
