At Gallery57 Dental, general dentistry is the cornerstone of our approach to lifelong oral health. Our dentists’ goal is to detect and treat disease early, when treatment is simpler, less invasive, and more cost-effective. The major dental diseases — decay, gum disease, and oral cancer — often have no symptoms until they are advanced, which is why proactive care is so essential.
Comprehensive Exams and Preventive Care
At every examination, we perform a thorough oral cancer screening, including a visual and tactile exam to assess the health of your gums, teeth, and oral tissues. We also take digital X-rays to examine areas we cannot see with the naked eye, providing maximum diagnostic information with minimal radiation exposure. In addition, we use advanced software to track your gum health over time, helping us spot early signs of periodontal disease.
We tailor your treatment plan based on your individual needs. Everyone can benefit from preventive care visits every six months, while those with gum disease may require appointments every 3–4 months.
Family and Pediatric Dental Care
General dentistry at Gallery57 Dental isn’t just for adults. We welcome patients of all ages, including children, and understand the importance of establishing good oral habits early. Our pediatric services include gentle first dental visits, preventive cleanings, fluoride treatments, and education on brushing and nutrition. We create a friendly, reassuring environment so kids feel comfortable and confident about dental care, setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Families appreciate the convenience of scheduling multiple family members on the same day, saving time and ensuring everyone gets the care they need.
Patient Comfort and Advanced Technology
We know dental visits can cause anxiety for some patients. While we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for those who need help relaxing, our comfort measures go beyond that. Our modern operatories feature ergonomic chairs, calming décor, and technology designed to make treatments faster and less invasive.
We incorporate innovations like the Solea® Laser, which allows many fillings to be done without drilling or anesthesia, and our in-house Same Day Ceramics lab, which creates crowns, veneers, and large fillings in a single visit. These advancements reduce time in the chair and often result in shorter recovery times.
The Role of Your General Dentist in Long-Term Health
As your primary dental care provider, a general dentist is your first line of defense for maintaining oral health. We coordinate with specialists when necessary (such as orthodontists, periodontists, or oral surgeons) to ensure seamless, comprehensive treatment. By keeping track of your dental history and monitoring changes over time, we can anticipate potential issues and address them before they become complex problems.
Oral Health and Overall Wellness
Oral health is closely connected to overall health. Gum disease, for example, has been linked to systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory illness. Maintaining healthy teeth and gums not only improves your smile but also supports your general well-being. At Gallery57 Dental, we approach every exam with this whole-body perspective in mind.
Dental Insurance and Costs
We believe that quality dental care should be affordable. Many general dentistry services are covered in part or in full by dental insurance, including exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Our knowledgeable team will help you understand your benefits and file claims on your behalf. We can also provide guidance on maximizing your coverage throughout the year to minimize out-of-pocket costs.
What People Say About Us!
"Dr Sam was the best dentist I have ever been to. I had a cracked tooth and had to see her as an emergency (they were not my regular dentist I've been going to for years). They were able to take me within 30minutes and the process was very easy. Not only was Dr Sam knowledgeable, she took the time to make sure there was no pain, thoroughly explained the process of my in-lay and most importantly she was very patient. The office equipment was state of the art and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. The work came out absolutely perfect!"
