Our General Dentistry Services
Checkups & Cleanings
Regular examinations and professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing can't reach, keeping decay and gum disease at bay.
Oral Cancer Screening
Every routine exam includes a thorough oral cancer screening. Early detection dramatically improves outcomes and takes only minutes.
Dental X-Rays
Digital x-rays let us see between teeth and below the gumline — catching cavities, bone loss, and other issues invisible to the naked eye.
Nightguards
Custom-fitted nightguards protect your teeth from the damage caused by grinding and clenching (bruxism) while you sleep.
Sports Guards
A properly fitted sports guard is one of the most effective ways to protect your teeth, lips, and jaw during contact sports.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and significantly reduce the risk of cavities — beneficial for all ages.

FAQs About General Dentistry
Q.How often should I come in for a checkup?
Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. Depending on your individual needs, Dr. Basi may recommend more frequent visits.
Q.Are dental x-rays safe?
Yes. Digital x-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film x-rays — far less than everyday exposure from the sun or a short flight.
Q.What if I have dental anxiety?
We understand dental anxiety is very common. Our team is known for a gentle, patient-first approach. Please let us know and we'll do everything to make you comfortable.
Q.Do you see patients of all ages?
Absolutely. We welcome patients from toddlers to seniors. Family appointments are available so everyone can be seen in one visit.
