Our General Dentistry Services
Your teeth are part of a living ecosystem that requires preventative maintenance to function. Dr. Andrea Clegg offers many general dentistry services that can help you maintain your smile. The services at our Nashville dental office include:
Teeth Cleanings
Bacteria in the mouth are responsible for the buildup of plaque on teeth. Without routine dental cleanings, this plaque can cause cavities, gum disease, and widespread damage. In addition to an at-home oral care routine, it’s vital to visit our office twice a year for professional teeth cleanings.
Dental Exams and Checkups
Exams and checkups are particularly important as your oral health is directly tied to your overall health. Performed during your routine cleaning, dental exams allow our dentist to check your gums, each tooth, and the soft and hard tissues of your mouth for concerns like gum disease, cavities, general wear, and more. Dr. Clegg may take X-rays and use her dental technology to develop a treatment plan that is unique to you. Your dental care plan may involve crowns, dentures, veneers, and more.
Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening is a visual and physical examination of your face, mouth, and neck during which our dentist will check for bumps, lesions, and other abnormalities. The goal is to detect cancer in its earliest stages. It’s important to get an annual oral cancer screening to make sure that no abnormalities are developing.
Preventative Dentistry
Preventative dentistry is an important facet of general dentistry. Through consistent, routine maintenance, our dentist can help prevent the formation of cavities and other issues. An ounce of prevention can avoid the need for expensive restorative work like tooth fillings, crowns, dentures, and dental implants.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies like jaw pain, cracked teeth, and knocked-out teeth can be addressed quickly at our Nashville, TN, office. If you're experiencing an emergency, we will try to fit you in during normal business hours on the same day you contact us. From there, we can minimize the damage, alleviate your pain, and set you up with an effective dental solution.
What First-Time Patients Can Expect During Their Appointment
Our new patient exams are nearly two hours long so our dentist can get to know you and thoroughly review your oral health.
