What is General Dentistry?

General dental procedures are specific to correcting the functioning of your teeth while helping improve cosmetic problems. General dentistry is ideal for both adult and pediatric patients. It is geared specifically to each individual patient, so your treatment will be different from another person coming in for care. We offer a wide range of different general dental procedures that can benefit your oral health.

Why is General Dentistry necessary?

General dentistry has many different purposes. For one, it helps to restore oral functioning so that it’s easier for you to eat and chew. Many procedures help to eliminate pain and problems associated with one or more teeth. Another reason for why general dentistry is so important is because it corrects cosmetic issues that you might be experiencing concerning your smile.

Who's a candidate for General Dentistry?

Everyone is a candidate for general dentistry procedures. Our goal is to provide you with the care that you and your family need in a relaxed and modern environment. We take the time to get to know each of our patients and specify care according to what they require. General dentistry can even help in providing preventative care approaches to protect your teeth.

What to expect with General Dentistry

We begin our time with patients with a cleaning and examination. This allows us to get to know the patient and create a treatment plan that is specific to them. Care is administered on an individual basis, and we always take your budgeting needs into consideration when planning out treatment for you. With the help of a complete consultation, we can get a feel for what your smile needs in order for it to look its absolute best. Some of the most common procedures you can expect with general dentistry include:

  • Fillings
  • Crowns and Bridge Work
  • Dentures and Partials
  • Root Canals
  • Preventative Care
  • Extractions
  • Minor Oral Surgery

Children's Dentistry

It's important to bring your child to see the dentist once every six months. Their six month checkup appointment allows us to examine their teeth and provide them with a dental cleaning.

Dental Bonding

Bonding is a cosmetic procedure that can help perfect and enhance your natural smile. Dr. Angelica Seto uses composite resin to perfectly match the color of your bonding with your teeth.

Dental Cleanings

Keeping your teeth healthy and clean requires more than diligent brushing and flossing at home. In many cases, plaque will build upon different areas of the teeth, hardening into a chalky white substance known as tartar.

Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency can occur at virtually any time, regardless of how well you take care of your smile. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for many of these emergencies to leave a patient in severe pain and discomfort.

Dental Fillings

A dental filling is a restoration that is used to replace an area of decay in a tooth. They are made to look and mimic the color of your natural teeth so that no one will even know they’re in place.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin, clear protective coverings that can be applied to the back teeth. They are meant to prevent cavities and deep staining that would otherwise occur if they weren't in place.

Dental X-rays

A dental x-ray is an image that enables us to see underneath the surface of teeth and gums. These images can help us to see decay, infections, impacted teeth, bone loss and many other oral-related problems.

Fluoride Treatment

A fluoride treatment can help to protect and strengthen your teeth. They are helpful when you’re prone to cavities and tooth decay, or if you already have a lot of fillings in your teeth.

General Dentistry

General dental procedures are specific to correcting the functioning of your teeth while helping improve cosmetic problems. General dentistry is ideal for both adult and pediatric patients.

Periodontal Scaling & Root Planing

A scaling and root planing is a type of procedure that works to clean the pockets around each of your teeth. If you have gum disease, the gums will actually separate from the teeth, causing pocketing between the soft tissue and the tooth itself.

Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal therapy is a specialized dental treatment focused on combating gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis. At Seto Family Dentistry, we're committed to providing leading-edge periodontal services to our patients in Denver, helping to restore your oral health and protect your beautiful smile.

Tooth Extractions

Extracting a tooth involves fully removing it from the mouth. Extractions are done either because no other treatment is helpful in saving a tooth or because the tooth poses a problem to your oral health.
