General Dental Office Services in Johns Creek and Alpharetta
General dentistry services are available for patients of all ages. Our team at Dentistry at Ivy Falls is here to help you take care of your oral health, whether that means comprehensive exams, routine cleanings, or advanced preventive treatments.
We recommend biannual visits for patients of all ages, starting as early as the first birthday. A comprehensive dental checkup and cleaning is a highly important aspect of a healthy oral care routine, and they generally only last around one hour! You can come in twice a year to our dental office for a comprehensive exam with our dental hygienists and dentists.
These appointments offer patients the best chance of detecting any common oral health conditions as early as possible and preventing the further development of more serious issues, including gum disease, decay, and cavities. Individual exams and professional cleanings protect the look, feel, and function of your teeth and gums.
Preventive Care
Preventive care enables patients to maintain healthy habits over time by promoting optimal oral hygiene practices like flossing the recommended amount and visiting the nearest dentist biannually. We’ll also screen for oral cancer and periodontal disease. Our dentists are advocates for community education, and our team is happy to help you better understand how dental health services can benefit you.
For patients with dental anxiety, it’s our promise to ensure you feel comfortable and confident with your dental care. Preventive treatments detect issues before they worsen and prevent future problems from ever occurring, which is why they’re so important.
Digital X-Rays
Dentistry at Ivy Falls provides convenient, comfortable X-rays directly in our dental office. For adults with no prior issues or complications, X-rays are generally recommended once every few years. When it’s time for your next dental X-ray, a dental hygienist will take you back at the start of your appointment.
We operate the latest in dental technology with the highest quality standards. X-rays are an advanced diagnostic tool used to diagnose issues with your teeth, jaws and surrounding tissues. These images are then evaluated to create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Periodontal Treatments
Routine dentistry services like professional cleanings, along with healthy oral hygiene habits, are some of the best ways to prevent the kind of plaque and tartar buildup that eventually causes periodontal disease. Also known as gum disease, this occurs when bacteria accumulates between the gums and the teeth and causes inflammation. It can harm the surrounding tissues that surround and support the teeth.
Our dentists treat periodontal disease by deep cleaning, scaling, and root planing. This works to remove all of the bacteria in the affected area while your gums and teeth are numbed with a local anesthetic.
