Our General Dentistry Services

We offer a full spectrum of general dentistry services designed to protect, restore, and enhance your smile. From preventive care to emergency dentistry to restorative treatments, our team is equipped to handle all of your dental needs under one roof.

• Preventive Care: Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to your teeth. We provide thorough dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, helping you avoid cavities and gum disease. Our preventive services also include fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and digital impressions for precise diagnostics. We use advanced digital X-rays to monitor your oral health with minimal radiation exposure.
• Restorative Dentistry: If you’re dealing with tooth decay, damage, or missing teeth, we’re here to restore your smile’s function and appearance. We offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, as well as dental crowns crafted with CEREC technology for same-day results. For patients missing one or more teeth, dental bridges provide a durable and natural-looking solution. Our restorative treatments are designed to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while delivering long-lasting results.
• Specialized Treatments: Dr. Orvin also provides specialized general dentistry services to address unique concerns. If you suffer from TMD or jaw pain, our neuromuscular dentistry for TMD relief can help restore comfort and function. We treat occlusal disease, perform lingual frenectomies, and offer solutions for sleep apnea and snoring. Our office is mercury-safe and mercury-free, and we provide sedation dentistry options for patients who experience dental anxiety. We also offer Oraverse to help reduce the numbness after certain procedures, allowing you to get back to your day faster.
