Comprehensive General Dental Services at Espire Dental Encinitas:

General dentistry focuses on preventing and treating common oral health issues to keep your smile strong and problem-free. At Espire Dental Encinitas, we tailor our services to meet your needs, offering everything from routine checkups to advanced gum care. Our comprehensive general dental services include:

Routine Cleanings & Exams: Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that build up over time, preventing cavities and gum disease. During exams, we check for any potential issues and create a personalized plan to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Digital X-rays: Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology allows us to detect problems that aren't visible during a routine exam, such as tooth decay, bone loss, or impacted teeth. These quick, painless X-rays help us diagnose and treat issues early.
Fluoride Treatments: Strengthening your enamel and preventing cavities; fluoride treatments are a simple, effective way to keep your teeth healthy, especially for patients prone to tooth decay.
Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection of oral cancer is crucial. During every routine visit, we conduct a thorough screening to catch any signs of abnormal growth or tissue changes in the mouth, ensuring your peace of mind.
Sealants: A preventive measure especially beneficial for children, sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to protect against decay. This quick, non-invasive procedure is ideal for reducing the risk of cavities.
Periodontal (Gum) Care: Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. We offer scaling and root planing for patients with gum disease and regular periodontal maintenance to keep your gums in great shape.

How often should I schedule a dental cleaning?

We recommend scheduling a cleaning and exam every six months. Regular cleanings help prevent plaque buildup and allow us to monitor your oral health for potential issues.

‍

What should I expect during a dental exam?

We’ll thoroughly clean your teeth, check for cavities, evaluate your gum health, and perform an oral cancer screening during an exam. We’ll also take X-rays to examine your teeth and bone structure closely.

‍

Are dental X-rays safe?

Digital X-rays are safe and use significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. They are essential for diagnosing dental problems early, and we take every precaution to ensure your safety.

‍

What are sealants, and who should get them?

Sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent decay. They’re especially beneficial for children, but adults can also benefit from sealants if grooves in their teeth that naturally occur are prone to cavities.

‍

What can I do at home to maintain my oral health?

Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using mouthwash as needed are vital habits to maintain good oral health. Regular dental visits are also essential for catching issues early.

‍

What if I have dental anxiety?

At Espire Dental | Encinitas, we prioritize your comfort. Our team is trained to work with patients who experience dental anxiety, offering gentle care and explaining each step of your visit to help you feel at ease.
