General Dentistry
A General Dentist is licensed to practice all areas of Dentistry. By performing a Complete Dental Examination, the dentist can determine the patients’ oral health. All treatment should have the goal of providing and maintaining the highest degree of oral health possible for that patient. The General Dentist refers patients to specialists, when their individual expertise is required to obtain the best possible result.
In GHC, we have a team of dental specialists providing the following specialty services:

Oral Exam
The dental examination is a systematic process during which your dentist will investigate many facets of your oral and systemic health in order to identify pathologies or concerns and develop a uniquely customized treatment plan that is catered towards maximizing your oral health while meeting your goals and expectations.
Teeth Cleaning
The main reason of having your teeth cleaned is to prevent or delay the progression of gum diseases. Getting your teeth cleaned is not the only way to prevent gum diseases -- smoking has been implicated in approximately 50% of periodontal disease cases in adults.
Fillings
A dental filling is a type of restorative dentistry treatment used to repair minimal tooth fractures, tooth decay or otherwise damaged surfaces of the teeth. Dental filling materials, which include composite, porcelain and silver amalgam, may be used to even out tooth surfaces for better biting or chewing.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a dental procedure used to remove diseased pulp tissue from the interior of a tooth. A root canal procedure involves tooth disinfection and the removal of all debris (nerve tissue, lymph tissue, blood tissue, bacteria and infection) from the coronal pulp chamber and its associated canals.
