Comprehensive General Dentistry Services We Offer
At Dental Care of Sterling, we provide high-quality general dental care for patients of all ages. From preventive treatments to advanced restorative solutions, we are equipped to protect your oral health at every stage of life.
1. Routine Dental Exams & Cleanings
Regular dental checkups are the cornerstone of general dentistry. Our exams include digital X-rays, oral cancer screenings, gum evaluations, and a gentle professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. Routine visits help prevent issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and enamel damage.
Scheduling exams every six months ensures small problems are detected early—when they’re easiest to treat.
2. Dental Fillings
Cavities are one of the most common oral health concerns. We offer durable, tooth-colored composite fillings that restore strength to damaged teeth while blending seamlessly with your smile. Our fillings are mercury-free, safe, and designed to last for years with proper care.
3. Crowns & Bridges
When a tooth is broken, weakened, or severely decayed, a custom dental crown can restore its strength and appearance. For missing teeth, we offer dental bridges, a reliable and aesthetic solution to restore bite function and prevent shifting.
Our crowns and bridges are made using high-quality materials for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
4. Root Canal Therapy
Severe tooth pain or infection can often be saved with root canal treatment. Our gentle root canal procedures remove infected tissue, relieve discomfort, and preserve your natural tooth structure. With modern techniques, root canals are more comfortable and efficient than ever.
5. Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved due to advanced decay, trauma, or infection, an extraction may be necessary to protect your oral health. We perform gentle, safe extractions and offer recommendations for tooth replacement whenever applicable.
6. Periodontal (Gum) Care
Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile. We provide comprehensive periodontal evaluations and treatments—including scaling and root planing—for patients experiencing early or moderate gum disease. Treating gum disease early helps prevent bone loss, inflammation, and tooth loss.
7. Dental Sealants
Sealants are a preventive treatment that protects the deep grooves of back teeth from bacteria and decay. They are especially beneficial for children and teens but can also help adults with cavity-prone teeth.
8. Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of cavities. We offer fluoride varnishes and treatments for both children and adults, promoting stronger, healthier teeth.
9. Nightguards & Mouthguards
If you grind your teeth at night or participate in sports, we provide custom mouthguards and nightguards for superior protection. These appliances can prevent fractures, headaches, jaw pain, enamel wear, and sports-related injuries.
