General Dentistry Practice in Westerville, Ohio

Maintaining good oral health requires commitment and the intervention of a general dentist. In addition to observing good oral hygiene, visiting a professional dentist at least twice a year is vital as it helps prevent oral health problems. That’s why Stefan Family Dental is committed to helping diagnose and treat oral health issues and offering tips to help prevent oral diseases.

If you are wondering what general dentistry is or the benefits associated with general dentistry, here is what you need to know.

What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry involves preventive, diagnostic, and restorative dental procedures to improve oral health. A professional general dentist examines a patient’s general oral health to diagnose any dental problem, including periodontal diseases or damaged teeth and offers suitable treatment options based on a patient’s unique needs.

As such, a general dentist is concerned with oral health and hygiene and is committed to helping dental patients regain their teeth’ strength and functionality while enhancing their smile.

What are the Benefits of General Dental Care?

 General dental care provides a myriad of benefits, including:

• Helps prevent infections that may affect your teeth and other oral structures
• Helps identify oral cavities early before they spread and cause extensive damage
• Restores damaged teeth to improve teeth strength and restore functionality
• Enhances your smile
• Improves your general oral health

You must consider your unique dental concerns and goals and discuss them with your dentist during your appointment.

What Does a Typical Appointment Look Like?

A general dentist will perform a dental exam to examine your oral health for any dental issue with your teeth, gums, jaws, and other oral structures

What General Dental Services are Offered at Stefan Family Dentistry?

At Stefan Family Dentistry, we offer individualized dental services aimed at helping you achieve your unique dental goals. Visit our dental clinic for the following general dental services:

• Extractions: If you have teeth that are damaged beyond repair, our dentist may recommend extraction to remove the damaged tooth/teeth.
• Dentures (Full & Partial): If you have missing teeth, dentures may be an excellent treatment option to help enhance your facial appearance and restore your smile. If all your teeth are missing, a full denture will be recommended. For a few missing teeth, our dentist will recommend a partial denture to help enhance your smile and improve biting and chewing.
• Root Canal Therapy: If you have an infected tooth pulp and don’t wish to have your tooth removed, root canal therapy may help address the issue. Dr. Zachary Stefan, DMD, will remove the nerves from the pulp to relieve the pain and improve teeth functionality.

What is the Cost of General Dentistry?

The cost of general dentistry varies depending on an individual’s unique dental needs and service provider. Consult your dentist to discuss your dental needs and get to know the cost of a dental procedure that meets your unique needs. Dental Insurance may also help reduce out-of-pocket charges for dental procedures. Discuss with your dentist to understand what can be covered by your insurance provider.
