About General Dentistry
Advanced Dentistry of Collegeville
General dentistry is the foundation of a healthy smile: regular exams, professional cleanings, screenings and, when a tooth can't be saved, a careful extraction. Catching small problems early keeps treatment simple and protects your teeth for life.
With intraoral cameras and chairside monitors, we can view areas of your mouth that are hard to see in a manual exam. You look at the images alongside the dentist, so you understand our findings and recommendations.
General Dentistry Services
Preventive care for the whole family
Dental Cleanings
Professional cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home can't reach.
- Scaling and polishing
- Gum health check
- Home-care tips for your smile
Oral Cancer Screening
We screen with the Identafi system, which shows changes in the mouth that may not be visible to the naked eye.
- White, violet and green-amber light exam
- Early diagnosis doubles your odds of survival
- Quick and painless
Bite Assessment
We check how your teeth meet, because an uneven bite can wear teeth down and strain the jaw.
- Looks for wear and notches at the gum line
- Connects bite problems to jaw and head pain
- Guides TMJ, orthodontic or restorative care
Tooth Extraction
When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, impacted or crowding the mouth, a careful extraction protects the rest of your smile.
- Local anesthesia so the area is fully numb
- Wisdom teeth and impacted teeth
- Clear aftercare for a smooth recovery
