general dentistry

When you visit our office for general dental care, what you receive will be anything but general! We understand that you are a unique individual, and we believe that your dental care should be customized to meet your needs. 

Dr. Wheeler does not merely treat teeth; he improves lives with dazzling, radiantly healthy smiles!

​

Preventive care

We believe that prevention is always the best treatment. Anyone, at any age, can experience tooth decay. In fact, nine out of ten adults have some decay by the age of 40, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Factors such as habits, lifestyle, and certain medical conditions can increase your risk. We will advise you about nutrition, fluoride, mouth rinses, supplements, and effective brushing and flossing techniques.

Great oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings are your best weapons against tooth decay and gum disease. During every appointment, we will evaluate your oral health, and check for subtle, early signs of trouble. Decay or gum disease can be treated easily and effectively in the earliest stages.

Sports Mouthguards

Many dental injuries are preventable. While you may not be able to predict a fall or a traffic accident, it is reasonable to assume that trauma is likely at certain times.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that anyone participating in contact sports wear a dental mouthguard. In addition to protecting your teeth, mouthguards protect your lips, tongue, and gums.  The Doctor can design a customized appliance, for a comfortable fit and ease in speaking.

​

Hygiene appointments

Your hygienist is an important member of your oral care team. Dr. Wheeler is proud to employ some of the best dental hygienists you will find anywhere.

They are trained extensively in the latest technology to provide gentle, quality care.  Cleanings are customized, depending on your oral health. Prescription mouth rinses and medicated gels may be used if there are signs of gum disease.

You deserve more than a good dentist. You deserve world-class care from a superb dentist, with an amazing staff of friendly professionals.
