What is general dentistry?
General dentists provide comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages, starting during childhood. From bi-annual dental exams and X-rays to tooth extractions and denture placements, a general dentist is trained in a broad range of dental techniques and treatments.
Dr. Cummings has made it a point to update her office with heat and massage chairs, as well as noise-canceling headphones, to provide her patients with comfort and relaxation. Sterling Ridge Cosmetic & Family Dentistry is also proud to have Xbox consoles in their designated children’s area.
Which services do general dentists offer?
In addition to routine cleanings and dental exams, Sterling Ridge Cosmetic & Family Dentistry provides the following treatments and preventive services:
Oral Cancer Screening
During an oral cancer screening, Dr. Cummings examines the inside of your mouth to check for any signs of oral cancer or precancerous growths.
Tooth extraction
If you suffer from a decayed or infected tooth, Dr. Cummings can extract your damaged tooth safely and as comfortably as possible.
Fillings
Dr. Cummings and her team offer natural-looking, tooth-colored fillings to patients with cavities and tooth decay.
Root canal therapy
If you have a tooth infection, Dr. Cummings can remove the infected pulp in her office, so you can get back to enjoying the activities you love, pain-free.
What other dental services do general dentists provide?
Night guards
Teeth grinding (bruxism), temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), clenching, and snoring can impact your sleep quality as well as your partner’s. At Sterling Ridge Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, Dr. Cummings can fit you for a custom night guard that helps prevent snoring due to sleep apnea. Night guards also solve teeth grinding and improve the symptoms of TMJ.
Dentures
Severely decayed or missing teeth don’t have to cause you embarrassment. Dr. Cummings can fit you with natural-looking, comfortable full or partial dentures that look and feel just like the rest of your teeth.
