General Dentistry
Maintaining optimal dental health is crucial for your overall well-being.

What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral health issues. A general dentist acts as your primary dental care provider, addressing common concerns and customizing treatments to your unique needs. Preventive care lies at its core, aiming to stop dental problems before they escalate into significant oral health issues.
General Dentistry Services Offered at Richmond Shine Dental Clinic
Richmond Shine Dental Clinic delivers comprehensive general dentistry services to maintain and restore your smile. Here’s an in-depth look at what we do:
Preventive Dental Care
- Routine Dental Check-ups: Our professional team recommends regular dental visits to monitor your oral health and detect potential problems early.
- Professional Cleanings: Even with excellent oral hygiene at home, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Dental cleanings help remove these buildups, lowering the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Diagnostic Services
Accurate diagnosis is integral to effective treatment. Using advanced tools like X-rays and comprehensive oral examinations, we identify issues such as:
- Cavities
- Gum disease
- Structural damage
- Hidden infections
By catching problems early, Richmond Shine Dental Clinic ensures you avoid more invasive or costly procedures later.
Cavity Treatment (Fillings)
We offer tooth-colored composite fillings that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth while effectively restoring function.
Gum Disease Management
- Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing)
- Medication to control infection
- Maintenance programs to protect gum health
Root Canal Therapy
When the dental pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged, a root canal can save the tooth. This procedure removes the affected tissue, cleans the interior of the tooth, and seals it off to prevent further damage.
Tooth Extractions
We perform tooth extractions for severely decayed teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or preparation for orthodontics, ensuring the procedure is as painless as possible.
Restorative Dentistry
- Dental Crowns: Custom-made crowns restore the strength of damaged teeth, preventing further wear or fractures.
- Dental Bridges: Bridges are excellent solutions for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both functionality and aesthetics.
Orthodontic Assessments
The alignment of your teeth plays a big role in your long-term oral health. Our general dentists provide orthodontic assessments, referring you to specialists for advanced care like braces or aligners when necessary.
Oral Health Education
- Proper brushing and flossing techniques
- Nutrition tips to maintain strong teeth and gums
- Habits to avoid (smoking, high-sugar diets, etc.)
This education empowers you to take charge of your dental health between appointments.
