General Dentistry

General dentists are equipped to handle a wide array of dental issues. They are the first line of defense for common oral health concerns like cavities and gum disease. However, when faced with more complex or specialized dental issues, a general dentist may refer patients to specialists with additional specialized training and education in specific branches of dentistry like orthodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, and periodontics.

These referrals occur when a dental issue requires specialized knowledge, advanced techniques, or equipment that are not readily available in a general dental practice. This ensures that patients receive top-quality care tailored to their specific needs.

General dentists collaborate with specialists to develop comprehensive treatment plans that address a patient's oral and overall health. Ultimately, however, whether a general dentist treats a specific issue themselves or refers a patient to a specialist, the goal remains the same: to provide the most effective care possible for their patient’s oral health.
