General dentistry helps you keep your teeth and gums healthy, spot problems early and treat everyday concerns such as cavities, worn dental work and tooth pain.
At NewStar Dental in Fort Lauderdale, you can come to us for exams and cleanings as well as fillings, crowns, gum care, root canals and urgent dental concerns.
During an exam, we check your teeth, gums and existing dental work, then explain any areas that need treatment or monitoring.
A professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing cannot fully remove at home.
Smaller areas of tooth decay or damage can often be restored with a filling when sufficient healthy tooth structure remains.
A crown may be recommended when a tooth requires more protection than a filling can predictably provide.
Periodontal evaluation helps distinguish healthy gums and gingivitis from periodontitis that may require additional treatment.
Root canal treatment may allow a tooth with irreversible pulp inflammation or infection to be saved rather than extracted.
Tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth and other urgent problems should be evaluated so the cause can be identified and treated appropriately.
Not everyone needs the same schedule. Your history of cavities or gum disease, current oral health and other risk factors help determine how often to return. We will recommend an interval that makes sense for you.
The best routine starts at home: brush with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and clean between your teeth daily. Regular office visits are important, but they work best alongside good habits at home.
