Benefits
The stuff nobody brags about
There's no headline-grabbing technology in a good cleaning. No live-surgery instructor credential needed to place a filling well. But these are the procedures most of your mouth depends on, and they're the procedures most offices hurry through because they're the least profitable.
We take them seriously for the same reason Dr. Yeo took teaching implant surgery seriously: precision matters even when nobody's watching.
Procedures
Procedures under general dentistry
Comprehensive check of teeth, gums, soft tissues, bite, and oral cancer risk. 20–30 minutes of real attention, not five.
Professional cleaning by a hygienist who isn't on a 20-minute clock. Hand-scaling where it's needed, not just the quick pass.
Tooth-colored composite fillings, shaped and polished to match your natural tooth.
Simple extractions performed in-office with local anesthesia. Complex cases referred up to oral surgery.
Part of every comprehensive exam. Takes two minutes. Catches the thing most people never look for.
Custom-fit appliances for patients who grind or clench. Prevents years of enamel loss and jaw pain.
Process Overview
How we schedule general dentistry
Exams + cleanings every 6 months for most adults
More frequent (3–4 months) for patients with gum disease or recent complex work
Fillings as needed, usually same-visit or within a week
Extractions scheduled based on urgency; emergencies same-day
No pressure to over-schedule, no procedures recommended that aren't needed. If your teeth are fine, the appointment ends with "see you in six months."
