Get a Smile That Looks & Feels Great

Your oral health is directly connected to your overall well-being. That's why regular dental checkups make such a difference in how you look and feel. Dr. Lee can stay on top of what happens to your smile, so you can ensure your smile stays healthy for years. Your health also benefits, since you are protecting your body from harmful bacteria that can spread from your mouth to your bloodstream.

As our patient, you benefit from advanced technology and treatment techniques. All dentists use X-rays. We use 3-D imaging and our in-office photo studio for a more thorough examination of your mouth. This combination of technology allows us to spot problems that are not visible to the naked eye.

Your exam is also a good opportunity to bring up any changes you'd like to see in your smile. For example, teeth whitening can eliminate stains and dental veneers can disguise cosmetic imperfections. Your dentist will review which options are ideal for you based on your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?
General dentistry includes many services, such as exams and cleanings, that prevent dental problems from ever happening. Our team will help you avoid dental decay, gum disease, and even sports-related mouth injuries. It also addresses a wide range of repair and enhancement. As a bonus, our general dental care helps keep your mouth looking and feeling great!
What foods are healthy for my teeth?
If you want a healthy smile, you'll want a diet rich in whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables, calcium, and lean proteins. Make sure you avoid sugary drinks or sticky sweets, which can damage your tooth enamel. Drink plenty of water too! This washes away bacteria from your teeth and gums.
Is chewing gum bad for teeth?
Chewing sugar-free gum can actually be good for your teeth! It stimulates saliva flow, which helps neutralize harmful acids and wash away food particles. Remember, though, gum with sugar can contribute to tooth decay. To protect your oral health, opt for sugar-free gum. Look for one sweetened with xylitol, a natural sugar substitute that can actually help prevent cavities. Gum should never replace brushing and flossing, but it can be a helpful addition to your oral hygiene routine.
Do dental checkups include oral cancer screenings?
Yes. Dental checkups typically involve a thorough cleaning, comprehensive exam, and dental X-rays to look for signs of problems like tooth decay or gum disease; an oral cancer screening; and time with your dentist to talk about any current or potential oral health issues that need to be addressed.
Why are my gums bleeding when I brush or floss?

Bleeding gums are often one of the first signs of gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease caused by plaque buildup along the gumline. In some cases, bleeding may also occur if you're flossing inconsistently or brushing too aggressively. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings can help keep your gums healthy and reduce bleeding.

What causes bad breath?

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is commonly caused by bacteria in the mouth, poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, gum disease, or certain foods and beverages. Regular brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning, and routine dental visits can help address the underlying causes and keep your breath fresh.

Why are my teeth sensitive to hot or cold foods?

Tooth sensitivity can occur when the protective enamel wears down or when gums recede and expose the tooth roots. Common causes include cavities, cracked teeth, teeth grinding, gum disease, or worn enamel. A dental examination can help identify the source of your sensitivity and determine the most appropriate treatment.
