General Dentists in Downtown Detroit
Having an attractive, strong, and healthy smile is simply a matter of proper maintenance. You need to take care of your teeth and gums on a regular basis and develop healthy habits, but there is only so much you can do on your own. You also need to have an expert treat any dental problems and help you maintain good dental health.
What Are General Dentists?
A general dentist is a medical professional that has been trained in the general field of dentistry, rather than specializing in one area. A dentist ensures that patients of all ages enjoy proper dental health though the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of dental diseases.

Dentists have the expertise needed to diagnose dental concerns and provide the treatment needed for fast relief and dental health maintenance.

When Should You Go to the Dentist?
Most patients need to visit the dentist every six months. More accurately, how often you go will be based on your dental health, age, and other personal factors. You will be advised how often you need treatment.
What Is the Cost for a Dental Visit?
The cost of going to a dentist general practice will depend on your particular dental needs and any dental insurance you have. Please call our general family dentistry for a cost estimate for your initial visit.

Does a Dental Appointment Take a Long Time?
While most dental appointments last for around an hour, an appointment can range from 30 minutes for a routine follow-up to many hours for complex dental treatment. If time is an issue for you, call our practice and let us know so we can meet your scheduling needs.
What Should You Do to Get Ready for a Dentist Appointment?

Is It Bad to Avoid Visiting a Dentist?
You are putting yourself at risk for tooth decay, gum disease, and even bigger dental problems if you don’t see a dentist regularly. Even if you aren’t experiencing any dental problems or pain, you need to visit a dentist twice a year so any dental issues can be detected and treated at an early stage to avoid more costly problems later. Call our office for an appointment today to enjoy a healthy smile.
