Keep Your Smile Healthy & Bright With General Dentistry Treatments
It would be difficult to maintain a radiant smile if you didn’t visit the dentist for regular cleanings and exams. It would be like never doing any sort of maintenance on your home. Eventually, it will start to deteriorate and things will begin to break. The same is true of your smile. At our office, we educate you on the best ways to care for your smile. We also focus on preventive care, to stop problems before they start.
You’ll find several types of general dentistry to help you keep your smile looking great:
- Dental Cleanings – We will use ultrasonic cleaning equipment to get rid of plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth.
- Dental Exams – We use advanced technology including electronic cavity detectors, intraoral cameras, and digital X-rays to identify problems in their earliest stages. We complete an oral cancer screening, which includes a nonsurgical biopsy, at each exam.
- Oral Hygiene Education – Part of your checkup includes education on how to improve your oral hygiene. Dr. Borker will share personalized tips based on the current state of your smile as well as your unique lifestyle and needs.
- Preventive Treatments – If necessary, we will apply dental sealants to the chewing surfaces of your teeth, protecting them against harmful bacteria. Dr. Borker will also use fluoride treatments to give your teeth an extra layer of defense against cavities.
- Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment – We will “deep clean” around your gumline to remove built-up plaque, tartar, and bacteria.
- Athletic Mouthguards – If you play sports, we can make you a professional athletic guard that keeps your teeth, gums, lips, and cheeks safe from injury.
- Bruxism Guard – For patients with bruxism, we can create a custom bite guard that acts like a cushion between your teeth.
- Dry Mouth Treatment – Dr. Borker can make recommendations for specialty products to help your mouth feel better.
- Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment – Our team can do periodontal treatment to target the cause of your bad breath. Our dentist can also make product recommendations and offer you hygiene tips.

The reason I’m writing to you is to say thank you again. A permanent bridge you made for me so many years ago is as beautiful as it was in about 1995. Over the years, I’ve had other dentists remark on the fine, one called it the Cadillac of bridges. I have never had a problem with it. You made me smile then and I’m still smiling. Thank you for being a great dentist and a dental artist. You produced a beautiful lasting product.
Common Questions About General & Preventative Dentistry
Maintaining a beautiful smile and optimal oral health is the primary goal of general dentistry. We offer several services to achieve this, including dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive treatments like fluoride application and dental sealants, and custom-made mouthguards for athletes or teeth grinders. Regular dental care is crucial in preserving the health and beauty of your smile.
Food healthy for your teeth includes those high in calcium and phosphorus, such as dairy products, leafy greens, and almonds. High-fiber foods like fruits and vegetables can help clean teeth and stimulate saliva production. As a result, it helps neutralize acids in the mouth. Crunchy fruits and vegetables, like apples and carrots, can help scrape away plaque and massage gums. Finally, drinking plenty of water can help rinse away food particles and acids that can cause tooth decay.
Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you are unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.
