Dentist Serving Metamora, MI

General Dentistry serving Metamora MI 

Although general dentists are not specialists, they understand each specialty and have mastered it during many years of education and training. They apply these techniques to issues large and small, from filling the basic cavity to coordinating a full mouth restoration. They know how to detect and treat gum disease, manage inflammation and infection, correct imperfections, and add new brilliance to your smile. And the best general dentists take a personal interest in you and

your loved ones.


Because general dentists are also doctors, they are well-positioned to monitor your overall health, as well as the condition of your mouth, gums and teeth. Many untreated dental concerns can easily become hazards to your health. For example, gum disease increases risks to the health of your heart, and may even affect the gastrointestinal tract. Your dentist is always on the alert for serious warning signs.

Preventive Dental Care

Prevention is a central focus for our team here at Lapeer Family Dental, serving Metamora MI. This is often overlooked by dental specialists who perform surgical procedures all day. To general dentists, surgical solutions are the last resort, and prevention is a much simpler and more effective strategy. Diagnosing and preventing conditions comprise the bulk of a general dentist’s time. Top general dentists learn to be proactive in identifying conditions and recommend the least invasive treatments.

Routine Exams and Check-Ups

As part of prevention, general dentists encourage patients to schedule regular check-ups. When Lapeer Family Dental is able to examine your teeth at least twice a year, we can identify any emerging problems, as well as clean and polish your teeth.


If we notice the early warning signs of gum disease, we can suggest strategies for altering your brushing, flossing and eating habits, and schedule a series of deep cleanings to reverse the progression of the disease.



Your routine visit is also a great opportunity for you to hear about the latest cosmetic and restorative procedures that can magnify the attractiveness of your smile.
