What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating common problems affecting your teeth and gums. Your general dentist is often your first point of care for maintaining oral health, identifying problems early, and determining when treatment may be necessary.
Regular dental exams and professional cleanings can help identify cavities, gum disease, cracked or damaged teeth, infections, and other concerns before they become more complicated. When treatment is needed, general dentistry includes restorative care such as fillings, crowns, root canal treatment, and periodontal therapy to help preserve your natural teeth and maintain function.
General Dentistry Services in Tysons Corner
We offer a full range of general dental services under one roof, all in one location:
Preventive Dental Care
- Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings – Routine checkups and professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, monitor your oral health, and detect dental problems early.
- Digital X-Rays and Dental Imaging – Modern digital imaging helps us identify cavities, infections, bone loss, and other problems that may not be visible during a clinical examination.
- Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment – Healthy gums are essential to maintaining your teeth. We evaluate your periodontal health and provide treatment, including deep cleanings when necessary.
- Night Guards and Preventive Care – Customized night guards can help protect teeth from damage caused by grinding and clenching.
Restorative Dental Care
- Tooth-Colored Fillings – Composite fillings repair cavities while blending naturally with the surrounding tooth.
- Dental Crowns and Bridges – Custom restorations like a dental crown can strengthen damaged teeth and restore function or replace missing teeth.
- Root Canal Treatment – When infection reaches the inside of a tooth, root canal therapy can relieve discomfort and help preserve the natural tooth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
- In addition to general and preventive dental care, Lumen Dental offers cosmetic dentistry in Tysons Corner, VA for patients looking to improve the appearance of their smile. Treatments include porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners and professional teeth whitening.
