General Dentistry
General dentistry covers the everyday care that keeps your smile healthy. Dental cleanings and examinations are a professional cleaning you receive from a hygienist or from Dr. Paesani himself. Most cleanings take about an hour — your teeth are polished and flossed, and any necessary X-rays are taken.
The examination covers a cavity check, a periodontal (gum) health assessment, a TMJ screening and an oral cancer examination. Dr. Paesani and his team review your medical history and may recommend treatment based on your current dental health, building a personalized plan for patients of every age.
- Professional cleanings and thorough exams
- Cavity, gum, TMJ and oral cancer checks
- Tooth-colored fillings and preventive care
