GENERAL DENTISTRY SERVICES FOR MCKINNEY, TX

With a wide range of services, nearly all dental treatments are available under one roof. There may be times you need additional dental care for optimal oral health. Maintaining your oral health is of utmost importance to us, which why we provide care for the entire family for all areas of general and restorative dentistry including:

• Oral Hygiene: Teeth Cleaning
  

  Teeth cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth to prevent cavities and gum disease. Regular professional cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health and a bright smile.

• Children’s Dentistry
  

  Children’s dentistry focuses on the dental health of children from infancy through adolescence. It includes preventive care, education on proper oral hygiene, and treatments for dental issues specific to children.

• Metal-Free Fillings
  

  Tooth-colored fillings, often made of composite resin, blend with the natural color of teeth for a more aesthetic appearance. They are durable and effective for restoring teeth damaged by cavities or minor fractures.

• Periodontal (Gum) Disease
  

  Periodontal disease is a serious gum infection that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent tooth loss and other health complications.

• Root Canal Therapy
  

  Root canal therapy treats infected or damaged tooth pulp to save a damaged tooth. The procedure involves cleaning and sealing the root canals to prevent further infection and restore tooth function.

• Tooth Extraction
  

  Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth due to decay, damage, or overcrowding. It is a common dental procedure often followed by options for tooth replacement, such as implants or bridges.

• Dental Sealants
  

  Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. They act as a barrier, protecting teeth from harmful, decay-causing bacteria.

• Orthodontics
  

  Our office provides both Invisalign ^® and Six Month Smiles^® to help patients achieve straighter, more symmetrical smiles. Orthodontic treatments are also used to correct bad bites, which improves the patient’s chewing ability and overall oral health.

What is a general dentist?

While a specialty practice focuses on just a few treatments, like prosthodontics or orthodontics, a general dental office often provides a wide range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dental services. These treatments are designed to meet a myriad of dental wants and needs and cater to patients of all different ages and dental backgrounds. Interested in learning more about the services we offer?

Is general dentistry the same as family dentistry?

Many family dental practices offer general dental care, but not all general dental offices are necessarily kid-friendly. While Serene Dentistry is not technically a family dentistry, we welcome and accept patients of all ages, including children. We are happy to provide exceptional dental care for children, teens, and young adults, and offer a range of general and specialty services to meet their unique needs.

Is general dental care in McKinney affordable?

The good news about general dental services versus specialty services is that they tend to be more budget-friendly. At Serene Dentistry, our in-house Serene Savings Plan includes general preventive care as well as great discounts on additional general dental treatments. Services like cleanings, exams, fillings, sealants, and periodontal care are so common that many dental offices strive to make them as cost-effective and accessible for as many patients as possible.
