General Dentistry Services We Offer
We understand that every smile is truly personal and unique, which is why we believe in creating treatment plans that are just as special. At Evolution Dental, we provide services that will help you meet your oral health needs and dental care goals.
Below are some of the most popular treatments for optimizing your dental health and taking a proactive approach to protecting your smile.
Dental x-rays and digital imaging
With the help of Evolution Dental, you can get the smile you’ve always wanted and keep it in the finest condition for years to come. A big contributor to maintaining your smile is the incredible precision our dental X-rays and digital imaging provide. With these records, we can detect any changes in your oral health which helps inform us of any additional preventative care that may be necessary.
Periodontal Treatments
One of the most common threats to our oral health is gum disease. Harmful bacteria can build up very quickly and create inflammation in the soft tissue of our mouths which can advance into periodontal infection and cause dental discomfort or even tooth loss. Thankfully, our general dentistry services can get rid of gum disease at the source by treating damaged tissue with laser cleanings and keeping periodontal pockets free of bacterial buildup.
Dental Cleanings
Your mouth will feel its freshest with the help of our professional dental cleanings. We will remove even the smallest dental debris above and below your gumline while eliminating any harmful bacteria. We will also remove any plaque or tartar that might have built up at the base of your teeth, which will drastically reduce the risk of irritation, inflammation, and infection to your gums.
Metal-Free restoration
Reinvigorating and protecting your teeth has never been more aesthetically pleasing thanks to our metal-free restorations. Our dental crowns and fillings are made from high-quality materials like zirconia, creating a natural look that restores and protects your teeth.
Oral Cancer Screenings
One of the greatest benefits of general dentistry is the peace of mind you receive, allowing you to be confident in your dental care between office visits. Take our oral cancer screenings, for example—we can detect even the smallest of changes to your mouth, alerting us to major concerns like signs of cancerous cells.
Cavity Repair
If we notice a cavity that needs repair, we will schedule an appointment for you to come in for a filling. Our fillings are done with a durable tooth-colored material, so you will not even be able to see or feel the repair site.
Dental Exams
There’s no better way to keep your dental health optimized and your smile protected than a dental exam at Evolution Dental. A routine checkup or exam provides protective measures like professional cleanings. We also use it to detect any changes to your mouth so we can be proactive in getting you the proper treatment you need right away.
Our dental exams are so effective at keeping your smile healthy, that it is recommended to get an exam once every six months. With these routine checkups, we can provide you with the most comprehensive and personalized care available.
Thanks to our years of experience and impressive dental technology, Evolution Dental can provide a thorough and streamlined dental exam so you can optimize your oral care quicker than ever.
Here’s What You Can Expect During Our Dental Exam:
- Cleaning | A comprehensive cleaning includes the removal of any plaque, tartar, or other dental debris. Your teeth will be cleaned and polished with professional-grade equipment and a deep-cleaning toothpaste.
- Imaging | X-rays and digital imaging will be used to monitor any changes to your mouth and help locate any potential problems or concerns.
- Exam | A thorough examination by Dr. Cast ensures your teeth are cavity-free and undamaged. We will also check your mouth’s soft tissue to ensure your tongue, gums, and palette are just as healthy.
- Recommendations | After the examination is complete, we will discuss any changes or concerns as well as what steps you can take to maintain your oral health. We will often end your visit with a fluoride treatment as an extra layer of protection before we send you on your way.
Dentistry on the Weekends
While we know you want to keep your weekends open for golfing, seeing family, and going to the beach, we are open on Saturdays if you want to schedule an appointment. We understand that weekdays can be a hard time to schedule appointments. To learn more about our Saturday availability you can call us today.
The Benefits of Regular Dental Visits
We want you to look and feel your best, and we cannot help you do that if we do not see you regularly. General dentistry visits help us maintain our relationship with you and maintain your healthy smile.
Regular cleanings offer you:
- Improved Cosmetics | Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar, which can contribute to stains if left on your teeth.
- Improved Oral Health | General visits help us prevent cavities or catch them before they are an issue, leading to a healthier smile.
- Preventative Care | We do oral cancer screenings and advanced imaging every visit to ensure there are no issues we need to treat quickly.
- Restoration Upkeep | If you have restorations, we check to ensure they are in good shape and serving your smile well.
We want to offer you all that and more at Evolution Dental—give us a call today to schedule a dental cleaning or exam.
Upkeep for Your Restorations
Restorations include crowns, implants, and snap-on dentures, among many other things. Seeing Dr. Cast every six months allows us to examine your restoration and clean around it—something you cannot do on your own.
Visiting a dentist consistently can greatly lengthen the life of your restoration, as they can do minor repairs or catch if it has been damaged.
Evolution Dental for Your General Dentistry
Even general dentistry is elevated at Evolution Dental. We offer the latest tech and training to make your experience visiting the dentist easy and relaxing.
Dr. Cast has training from Harvard and KOIS dental school, making him a leading dentist in his field, both by clinical standards and patient standards. You can expect precise care and a caring bedside manner as he visits with you for your regular dental checkup.
Proactive Dentistry
Our approach to oral health care is proactive. We will treat a concern before it becomes an issue. This prevents the concern from progressing into something worse that can damage your quality of life in any way. Your oral health will stay in pristine health if you come to visit our office.
Leading-Edge Technology for Better Visits
We embrace the newest age of technology to improve your visits. This means experiencing a clean environment, advanced imaging, and highly-trained professionals during your visits.
Our imaging allows us to work with high precision and catch small details that others may have missed. You can expect a higher level of preventative care and better results because of our technology and training.
A Safer dental visit
We use metal-free restorations, as well as mercury-free fillings. Not only are our options cosmetically superior, but they are a safe option for your smile and oral health.
Our X-rays and other technology are also safer than ever before, for both our patients and our dentists. Now, you can rest assured that your visits increase your oral health and physical health with fewer side effects.
Sedation Dentistry
Do you struggle to come to the dentist for even a regular cleaning because of anxiety or fear from a previous bad experience? We understand how difficult that can be. One solution we offer is nitrous oxide for our general dentistry patients. Nitrous oxide can be offered upon request during the visit. It offers a relaxing sensation without allowing you to fall asleep. You can even drive home afterward.
If you are nervous about scheduling an appointment or coming to the dentist, you can call us and ask about your options. Dr. Cast’s amazing bedside manner is sure to put you at ease.
When to Schedule a Visit
We recommend coming in for regular visits every six months. We are open on Saturdays as well as weekdays, so we can accommodate any schedule.
Sometimes, seeing a dentist should happen outside of your regular six-month schedule. If you notice anything amiss with your oral health, such as:
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Consistent toothaches or pain
- Jaw pain or popping
- Consistent bad breath
If you notice these or any other changes to your oral health, it is best to schedule an exam and visit right away. This does not need to be an emergency visit, but these visits can help us catch small issues before they turn into systemic problems.
If you are suffering from any pain, do not hesitate to reach out to us. We will offer you solutions to improve your quality of life and oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry
How often do I need to visit the dentist?
We recommend visiting the dentist every six months, as your teeth need to be cleaned by a professional regularly. Six months is also a short enough time that many oral health concerns will not have developed into big issues—meaning we can treat them before they cause larger or systemic issues.
Does visiting the dentist help my overall health?
Keeping your oral health in good shape helps your entire body stay in good shape. For example, missing teeth affect your digestion, and poor gum health can lead to full-body infections. If we improve your oral health, we improve your overall health.
Are there cosmetic improvements from cleanings?
Cleanings keep your teeth white and shiny. That nice clean feeling you have after visiting the dentist happens because your teeth are free from plaque and tartar. A buildup of those materials makes your teeth discolored and dull-looking.
Who cleans my teeth at the dentist?
We have highly-trained hygienists who will clean your teeth, and then Dr. Cast will come in to complete the exam. Our hygienists have gone to school just to learn how to clean teeth, so they can ensure that your experience is comfortable and your cleaning is thorough.
You can learn more about our team and Dr. Cast by visiting his page.
What are oral cancer symptoms?
The biggest oral cancer symptom is a new mass or lump in your mouth. If you find that your mouth has changed in any way, especially if you have a bump on your tongue or on the soft tissue of your mouth, you can call us for a screening today.
How is oral cancer treated?
Cancer can be a scary word. But oral cancer is actually a fairly straightforward cancer to treat. If your saliva testing indicates that you have oral cancer, the first thing to be done is to remove any new lumps in your mouth. We will refer you to an oncologist, who will analyze the tissue.
Often if the cancer has not spread, you will not require chemotherapy or radiation.
