General Dentistry

General Dentistry is the foundation of our practice. Dr. Alexander and staff strive to provide quality, attentive, and comprehensive care for the entire family.

Your First Visit

For adult patients, the initial appointment involves a comprehensive oral exam. Dr. Alexander will review your medical and dental history and listen to your goals and concerns before inspecting your teeth. The dental exam is very through, we check all of your teeth for decay and defective fillings, examine your mouth for oral cancer and periodontal disease and take the necessary diagnostic x-rays. A dental hygienist will perform a dental cleaning. Once we have diagnosed the results of your exam, Dr. Alexander will discuss our findings and outline a recommended treatment plan, as well as detail the amount of time and cost associated with your treatment.

The goal of general dentistry is to treat problems in their earliest stages. We accomplish this by establishing a regular schedule of dental cleanings and exams. Dr. Alexander will recommend an oral health routine to each individual that best suits their needs and goals. Many patients only need to visit every six months, but others may benefit from more regular visits.

We are able to recommend the most conservative methods of treatment for our patients with routine visits. This means we can conserve the natural teeth more often and save the patient from potentially expensive and uncomfortable procedures.

Pediatric Dental Care

General dentistry and regular dental cleanings are especially important to the health of children and teens. Dr. Alexander sees children starting at age 3. Our staff can help parents with common topics such as proper tooth brushing, thumb sucking, orthodontics and wisdom teeth. Learn More
