General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include: preventive services — helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services — receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services — performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding – even porcelain veneers. General dentists also address overall health concerns, as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa.

Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry aimed at creating a positive change to the teeth and smile. Most think of tooth whitening or porcelain veneers, but a skilled, experienced cosmetic dentist can provide much more. They can help improve the appearance of a patient’s smile, and even their self-esteem and confidence. Today, cosmetic dentistry continues to evolve to where cosmetic dentists can address functional and aesthetic patient concerns.
