We offer a variety of dental services here at Esplanade Dental Care<\/a>. General dentistry<\/a> plays an important role in the health of your teeth and gums. Procedures that fall under this category focus on maintaining and improving tooth health, as opposed to cosmetic dentistry, which focuses on the appearance of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

There are a wide variety of general dentistry <\/strong>procedures to meet all your smile needs. Invisalign is a clear braces solution that can help to straighten a crooked, misaligned smile. If your teeth have been ravaged by disease or decay, they can be restored to health with a porcelain crown. If your teeth or gums are diseased or infected, we can help with root canal treatments (endodontics) or periodontal treatments. Extractions are used to remove severely damaged teeth, so they don\u2019t affect the rest of your smile. We also use ViziLite\u00ae Plus technology to screen our patients for oral cancer, a serious threat to your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General dentistry <\/strong>is an important part of dental care because it focuses on the health of your teeth. If your smile is in need of some care, we can help. Give us a call today to learn more about our wide range of general dentistry <\/strong>treatments and schedule your appointment today. We want all of our patients to have healthy, beautiful smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
