General dentistry can be defined as the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various dental conditions. At our Whitehouse office, we emphasize prevention rather than cure and strive to educate all of our patients about ways to optimize oral hygiene. State-of-the-art instruments allow us to detect dental issues in their earliest stages, so when treatment is necessary, we can provide it conservatively. As general dentists, Dr. Parsons, Dr. Hamons and Dr. Peters offer a full-scope of dental services designed to meet the needs of entire families.
Prevention – Many people mistakenly believe that cavities and gum disease are simply a part of life. They don’t have to be! When you attend regular checkups and cleanings, we can catch symptoms of these common dental conditions, reverse the problem, and offer proactive solutions to prevent them from recurring. For example, if you grind your teeth, we can prevent cracks, breaks, and tooth wear with a custom nightguard. We have many simple solutions designed to protect one of your most valuable assets—your smile!
Diagnosis – You may not have considered how your general dentist diagnoses dental conditions, but it can make a big difference in your long-term oral health. Our modern technology allows us to improve accuracy and efficiency. With digital X-rays, we can detect fractures, decay, and other problems not seen with the naked eye. Our pen-sized intraoral camera takes live images and projects them onto a chairside monitor. By detecting issues not typically noticed with traditional methods, we can offer treatment that solves the problem before it has a chance to escalate.
Restoration – Sometimes, dental problems are unavoidable. Tooth decay, gum disease, tooth breakage, tooth loss—these are common problems that fall within the scope of general dentistry. Dr. Parsons, Dr. Hamons and Dr. Peters have over 30 years of combined experience treating dental conditions, and we offer contemporary solutions, including tooth-colored fillings, all-porcelain crowns, and dental implants. Giving our patients quality care in a small-town setting is what we do best.
