Benefits of general dentistry.
General dentistry is surprisingly important. Simple preventive dentistry can save patients from pain, hours or days of trouble, and expensive services. Getting twice-yearly teeth cleanings and checkups can stop cavities from forming, infections from spreading, and teeth from being damaged.
Your general dentist in Gilbert will be with you throughout your life, during routine exams, of course—but also for oral cancer screenings, dental implants, extractions, dentures, emergency dental care, and more. If you want to find a new, friendlier dentist and team, call Artistry in Dentistry now.
