Maintain Your Best Smile With General Dental Care

As far as an at-home oral care routine, it is best to brush your teeth at least twice daily for two minutes each time and floss once daily. Doing so will remove trapped food particles and plaque that feed cavity-causing bacteria.

However, there’s more to good oral care than just what you can do at home. That’s where general dental services from Drake Family Dentistry come in. With our treatment, you can feel confident you’re getting the care you need to keep your smile healthy and bright. We offer a variety of treatments designed to help you maintain the best smile possible, including:

  • Dental Cleanings and Exams – Visit us every six months to catch small problems before they worsen.
  • Gum Disease Treatment – We’ll deep clean your gums with scaling and root planing to remove built-up tartar and bacteria.
  • Mouthguards – Protect your pearly whites from damage during sports or other athletic activities with a custom mouthguard.
  • Tooth Sealants – These thin plastic coatings form a protective barrier against bacteria to prevent cavities.
  • Dry Mouth Treatment – We can recommend products to help relieve your chronic dry mouth.

Advanced Technology Ensures Precise & Efficient Treatment

We realize there aren’t any shortcuts when it comes to great dental care. To make sure you receive top-notch treatment at every visit, our office has taken the time to invest in using the latest dental technology, including:

  • DIAGNOdent Cavity Detection System – This system helps us detect tooth decay invisible to the naked eye.
  • Digital Imaging – Using special software, you can see a smile preview before your cosmetic or restorative dental work.
  • Digital X-rays – These X-rays emit up to 90 percent less radiation than standard X-rays.
  • Intraoral Cameras – See what’s going on inside your mouth just like your dentist does.
  • Telescopic Loupe – This instrument magnifies the view inside your mouth for better diagnosis and treatment.
  • E-Claims Processing – With the click of a button, we can process your insurance claim for quick payment.
  • Paperless Charting – Computerized records make charting and record-keeping more accurate.

Make sure your smile stays gorgeous with general dentistry in Harlingen. Call Drake Family Dentistry today at 956-450-7375 to schedule an appointment. You can also make an appointment .

Common Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?

General dentistry is what we do here. We feature regular general dentistry solutions that will help keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking its best all through your life. This includes thorough examinations to screen for problems and to assess the state of affairs around your teeth, gums, and oral cavity in general. General dentistry also includes protective measures like dental sealants and teeth cleanings to prevent dangerous plaque, tartar, and bacteria from causing disease, decay, and worse.

Can specialists practice general dentistry?

While dental specialists can practice general dentistry, most do not. A specialist has continued their training so that they can practice in a specialty such as oral surgery or endodontics, and they focus their practice in this area. You’ll get the best general dental care from a general dentist because they are used to treating a variety of problems every day.

Why do I need general dentistry?

General dentistry focuses on preventive care designed to keep your smile as healthy as possible by stopping issues like cavities and gum disease. So if you want your smile to look and feel good, general dentistry is essential. Regular exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of preventive care. They allow our team to find potential problems in their earliest stages when they are easiest to treat.
