What Does General Dentistry Include?

General dentistry includes a broad spectrum of preventive and restorative services vital to maintaining oral health for all ages:

  • Routine Dental Exams: Comprehensive oral exams combined with advanced digital X-rays enable early detection of cavities, gum disease, oral cancers, and other dental issues. Early diagnosis allows us to provide minimally invasive treatments to prevent worsening conditions. These exams also include assessment of bite function and jaw health to identify potential problems.
  • Professional Cleanings & Preventive Care: Our skilled dental hygienists perform gentle, thorough cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, lowering your risk of cavities and periodontal diseases. We also apply fluoride treatments and dental sealants that strengthen enamel and protect vulnerable areas, especially in children.
  • Gum Disease Screening and Treatment: We carefully screen for gingivitis and periodontitis (the leading causes of tooth loss), and provide personalized treatment plans including scaling, root planing, and infection control therapies that promote healthy gums and tissue.
  • Oral Cancer Screenings: Performed during every recall visit, this vital screening helps detect early lesions or abnormalities, contributing to your overall health and peace of mind.
  • Emergency Dentistry & Tooth Extractions: If you experience tooth pain, trauma, or other urgent dental issues, we offer prompt care and gentle tooth extractions when necessary to relieve discomfort and protect your oral health.

am very grateful for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Amear Tadros and his team at Lake Center Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Tadros performed a complex procedure in preparation for implants, demonstrating superb skill and precision. His professionalism and calm presence put me completely at ease during the procedure.

The best dentist & staff! I’ve been going to Dr. Tadros for years & years for a reason - him & his entire staff are nice, & to the point while still being thorough & patient. I needed Invisalign to correct my overbite - the duration, appointments & aligners were exactly as Dr. T said they would be. My smile & bite are even better now! They have great flexibility with my ever changing schedule as well. Thank you again.

I highly recommend this dental practice. Staff are very welcoming and kind. They make me feel so comfortable and I get great treatment every time. Dr. Tadros is very experienced and knowledgeable in every aspect and he does an awesome job. He is very professional, caring, provides honest feedback on what needs to be done, and he is very helpful. I had a dental cavity and he fixed it. Recently I had Invisalign treatment done and I really like the way my teeth look now after treatment was completed. Also I replaced some crowns on my teeth and he did an amazing job for them as well. I always look forward to going to future appointments and I no longer fear going to the dentist now. Thank you Lake Center Dentistry and Dr. Tadros!!!!

I was involved in a serious auto accident on 10/31/2023, which caused me to hit my face on the driver's side window frame. This impact broke my nose, knocked out three of my front teeth, and badly chipped several others. Having never experienced missing teeth before, I quickly realized how it affects one's confidence and the way people perceive you. You feel the need to hide your mouth when laughing or talking, and it’s truly disheartening. Since the accident occurred while I was working, I had to go through worker’s compensation, which took six months to arrange my first dental appointment. Fortunately, that appointment was with Dr. Amear Tadros, and I couldn't be more grateful.

From the moment I walked into Dr. Tadros’s office, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the entire staff. The office itself is modern, clean, and equipped with the latest technology, which made for a very comfortable environment.

Dr. Tadros is an exceptional dentist. His expertise and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of his work. During my appointment, he took the time to explain each step of the procedure, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout. His gentle approach made the entire experience as pain-free and pleasant.

What truly sets Dr. Tadros apart is his genuine care for his patients. He listens carefully to any concerns and provides thoughtful, personalized advice for maintaining dental health. His passion for dentistry is clear, and it translates into excellent patient care.

I left the office feeling confident about my smile again. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and skilled dentist, Dr. Amear Tadros is the one to see. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch dental care.
