General Dentistry Services
Dr. Goodman will make your dental hygiene his top priority, as he does with all of our patients. That's why general dentistry services at our Kansas City practice embody maintenance, diagnosis, and prevention to keep your smile at its best.
Dental Sealants: These are essentially plastic coatings that protect the teeth from decay. Dental sealants are applied to the surfaces of the back teeth or molars, or the areas that are most used to chew. If your child is prone to cavities, this may be a preferred option.
Extractions: Removal of teeth occurs when the tooth or teeth in question are either unnecessary or beyond saving. Should you require tooth removal, our dentist will carefully review your personal needs and medical history before choosing an anesthetic for the extraction procedure.
Fillings: When cavities are present, Dr. Goodman will thoroughly clean the treatment area and reinforce the tooth using white or tooth-colored fillings.
Fluoride Treatment: Instrumental to the development of permanent teeth, fluoride also makes the teeth more resistant to decay. It is typically found in certain foods and water. Dr. Goodman can apply a high concentration of fluoride to the teeth in a gel or foam form.
Mouth Guards: This appliance protects the teeth and gums during sports or other intense physical activities. At our practice, we can tailor the mouth guard to your smile in order to prevent oral trauma in case of impact.
Periodontal Scaling: Essentially a deep cleaning, this procedure entails the removal of deposits under the gum line, as well as plaque and tartar from the root surface. For patients who suffer from advanced periodontal disease, root canal therapy, dental implants or dental crowns may be needed.
Cleaning: Our dentist places the utmost importance on thorough cleaning and dental hygiene, both during and in between dental visits. We offer prophylaxis, or advanced cleaning to remove plague and tartar, all for the purpose of ensuring healthier teeth and gums!
Regular Checkups: Our checkups involve more than meticulous cleaning. During your visit, Dr. Goodman will utilize his expert eye, considerable experience, and our advanced technology to diagnose any underlying conditions that may need to be treated.
