General Dentistry for Verona and Surrounding Areas

How often should you see your dentist for regular care?

At Verona Dental Arts, we recommend that patients see Dr. Michael Scurti twice a year for regular exams and cleanings.

Why so often?

Because exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of general dentistry. What’s more, with care this frequent, Dr. Scurti can watch for small changes that might indicate the need for advanced care.

Why is that important? 

Because providing early care for cavities and gum disease will help Dr. Scurti preserve more of your natural smile. When care isn’t provided early, these common conditions can dramatically affect your oral and even your overall health. In studies, a condition like gum disease has been linked to an increased vulnerability to a variety of health problems in the rest of the body, including:

• Diabetes
• Preterm birth
• Stroke
• Alzheimer’s
• Heart disease

During your visit with our Verona dental team, Dr. Scurti will look closely at your teeth and gums to understand your needs. Once we know where your smile stands, we can recommend one or more services to help you reclaim optimal oral health. If you have questions about the plan we recommend, don’t hesitate to ask.

What Is General Dentistry?

For children and adults, it’s important to see a general dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. Why so frequently? Because it’s through regular oral exams and cleanings that your doctor will help you achieve optimal oral health.

General dentistry is all about prevention and promoting healthy habits. During your next checkup with your general dentist, your doctor will look for signs of the most common oral health conditions, like tooth decay and gum disease. Other things your doctor will look for include neuromuscular conditions, like bruxism or TMJ dysfunction, as well as oral cancer.

Based on the results of your exam, other services may be recommended to help you improve the health, appearance, or functionality of your smile. Some of those services might include:

• Fillings
• Porcelain Veneers
• Periodontal Therapy
• Crown and Bridge Therapy
• Other cosmetic and restorative services

Whatever your doctor recommends, it will be tailored on your specific needs. What’s more, there will also be time for you to raise questions about the treatment plan your doctor recommends. Your general dentist wants you to fully understand what you can look forward to as we move forward with your treatment.
