General Dentistry
General dental procedures are specific to correcting the function of your teeth while helping improve not
only cosmetic imperfections but the quality of life. General dentistry is ideal for both adult and pediatric
patients. It is geared specifically to each individual patient and their lifestyle. We offer a wide range of
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 function 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 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 their personal goals. General dentistry can even help in providing preventative care approaches to protect your teeth.
Dr Alice Lam has my highest recommendation. I went in for a routine dental visit and Dr Lam took the time to ask how I was doing overall, not just my teeth. Well, I was having some severe chronic pain issues unrelated (i thought) to my dental health and she listened to me. She's working with me to stabilize my bite and restore my body to a neutral position, and I'm already experiencing great results from it- my whole body, not just my teeth/jaw! I'm so thankful to have hope again and the possibility to live a life free from chronic pain. For me this is a miracle and Dr Lam is an angel. Thank you for your patience and kindness - it is so rare in today's hectic world.
