General Dentistry
General dentistry is the foundation of a healthy smile. It focuses on preventing problems, catching issues early, and keeping your teeth and gums healthy year after year. At Smiles By Paul Lee, we take the time to explain what we see and what it means, using clear, simple language.
Common general dentistry services may include:
- Dental exams and checkups
- Professional teeth cleanings
- Digital X-rays (as needed)
- Oral cancer screening
- Gum care for early gum disease
- Tooth-colored fillings for cavities
- Fluoride and other preventive options
- Custom mouthguards or nightguards (for sports or grinding)
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving your smile’s appearance. Even small changes can help you feel more confident when you talk, laugh, and take photos. Cosmetic care can also support your dental health. For example, fixing chips or smoothing rough edges can help protect a tooth from further wear.
Cosmetic dentistry options may include:
- Professional teeth whitening to brighten stained teeth
- Dental bonding to repair chips, close small gaps, or improve shape
- Veneers to create a more even, bright, and balanced smile
- Smile design planning to map out multiple improvements over time
If you want a more even smile, we can also talk about ways to improve alignment. In some cases, orthodontic options may be part of a cosmetic plan. Dr. Lee will guide you toward what fits your needs and best supports your long-term oral health.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry helps repair damaged, worn, or missing teeth. The goal is simple: restore comfort, strength, and function so you can chew well, speak clearly, and smile with ease.
Restorative dentistry may include:
- Tooth-colored fillings to restore a tooth after a cavity
- Dental crowns to cover and protect weak or broken teeth
- Bridges to replace one or more missing teeth
- Dentures (partial or full) to restore your smile and chewing ability
- Implant-supported options (when appropriate) to replace missing teeth with a strong, stable solution
- Root canal therapy and other treatments to save a natural tooth when possible
