General dentistry forms the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Dr. Farid Nikfar’s practice, we embrace a preventive-focused approach that emphasizes early detection, patient education, and personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique dental needs. Our comprehensive general dentistry services protect your natural teeth, prevent disease, and address concerns before they develop into more serious conditions. Through regular visits and proactive care, we help you maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
General dentistry encompasses a broad range of preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services designed to maintain optimal oral health throughout your lifetime. Think of it as your first line of defense against dental problems—regular care helps us identify potential issues early when they’re easiest and most cost-effective to treat.
Our general dentistry services address everything from routine preventive maintenance to restorative treatments that repair damage and restore function. This comprehensive approach ensures your teeth, gums, and overall oral structures remain healthy and strong.
When you visit our practice for general dentistry care, you can expect a thorough, comfortable experience focused on your individual needs:
Your appointment begins with a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, jaw, and oral tissues. We look for signs of decay, gum disease, bite problems, and other conditions that could affect your oral health.
Our skilled hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't eliminate. This professional cleaning leaves your teeth smooth, polished, and feeling fresh while helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
When necessary, we utilize modern digital X-ray technology to visualize areas beneath the surface, allowing us to detect issues like hidden decay, bone loss, or impacted teeth that aren't visible during a standard examination.
Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. We explain all recommended procedures clearly, discuss your options, and answer any questions you may have before proceeding.
We believe informed patients make better decisions about their oral health. That's why we take time to discuss proper brushing and flossing techniques, dietary factors affecting your teeth, and preventive strategies tailored to your situation.
Children’s dental needs change as they grow, which is why pediatric general dentistry emphasizes monitoring development alongside preventive care. We closely track tooth eruption, jaw growth, and bite alignment while providing routine exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and cavity prevention. Early detection of dental issues allows us to address concerns before they affect long-term oral health.
We believe education plays a key role in children’s oral health. During visits, we take time to teach kids—and parents—proper brushing and flossing techniques, nutrition tips for strong teeth, and ways to prevent cavities between visits. By creating a welcoming, stress-free environment, we help children feel comfortable with dental care and build trust that encourages regular checkups.
