Many people don't realize that oral health impacts total health and wellness. As a general dentist, Dr. Alani is concerned about preserving your overall health with preventive and restorative dental care. Regular checkups and good home care will keep your smile healthy and strong.
Your comprehensive checkup will include X-rays, a periodontal assessment, bite analysis, and a tooth-by-tooth exam. Once we understand your oral health status, Dr. Alani will take immediate steps to correct general problems, such as decay or periodontal disease. We will create an individualized treatment course to restore the health of your teeth and gums. Before commencing an extensive restorative or cosmetic treatment plan, the dentist will always address underlying concerns. Integrity dictates that we build your smile on a solid, healthy foundation.

Following through with Your Restorative Treatment Plan
Because gum disease can wreak havoc on your mouth and lead to other serious health concerns, such as heart disease and diabetes complications, we provide periodontal therapy for gingivitis and periodontitis. At Dr. Alani's general dentistry office, we utilize different types of gum treatment, depending on the severity of the condition. Treatment can range from a debridement for gingivitis, which is a two-appointment procedure, to scaling and root planing, also known as a deep cleaning. Scaling and root planing, combined with a strict home hygiene routine and more frequent periodontal cleanings, will address gum disease and increase your potential for keeping your natural smile for life.
