Achieve Your Best Smile With Many General Dentistry Services

At Highland Advanced Dental Care, we make getting good dental care easy and convenient. We offer all these services under one roof so you can achieve your healthiest smile:
● Dental Cleanings and Exams – Routine checkups every six months will help prevent plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. We provide one of the most thorough dental exams in Michigan. Early detection of problems such as cavities or oral cancer gives you much better odds for successful treatment. Therefore, in addition to a visual exam, we use digital X-rays, cavity detectors, and catch early signs of oral cancer. After we have completed your exam, Dr. LoCascio will recommend an appropriate level of teeth cleaning to keep your smile white.● Sealants and Fluoride Treatments – Tooth sealants create a barrier and smooth out your teeth’s chewing surfaces, making it harder for bacteria to find a place to live and helping prevent cavities. And fluoride has been known for decades to make teeth stronger, which is why we offer fluoride treatments and varnishes. Fluoride can even reverse tooth decay in its very early stages.● Gum Disease Treatment – If your teeth are collecting plaque and tartar near or below the gumline, we can help with a nonsurgical treatment called root planing and scaling. Together, these remove plaque that is irritating your gums and prevent infection from spreading.● Athletic and Bruxism Mouthguards – Staying active is great for your health, but it can also put your teeth at a higher risk of damage. That’s why we offer athletic mouthguards for almost any sport. These protect your teeth and help prevent injuries and damage. We also offer custom mouthguards to eliminate bruxism (teeth grinding). A mouthguard worn while sleeping can help prevent damage to your enamel caused by teeth grinding.● Emergency Appointments – Prevention and planning are essential for maintaining a healthy smile, but sometimes accidents happen. We have a limited number of emergency appointments available for our current patients. Just give us a call, and we’ll see you as soon as we can.

Common Questions About General Dentistry

  • What is included in general dentistry?

    A general dentist performs treatments to keep your teeth in top condition. Exams and cleanings are the two most essential general dental services. Exams help us identify problems so we can treat them before they become serious. During cleanings, our team removes the plaque and bacteria that can cause cavities and gum disease. Other general dental services, like fluoride and dental sealants, aim to stop problems.

  • Can orthodontists practice general dentistry?

    Every dentist, including specialists like orthodontists, receives training in general dentistry. Yet specialists do not usually perform procedures outside their specific areas of focus. It’s not uncommon, though, to find a general dentist who performs a wide variety of treatments. With 40 years of experience in many areas of dentistry, Dr. LoCascio provides many cosmetic and restorative procedures and even offers treatments for sleep apnea and TMJ problems.

  • Can a general dentist do restorative dentistry?

    Many general dentists, including Dr. LoCascio, perform restorative dental treatments. Some general dentists have more advanced training and hands-on expertise than others. Dr. LoCascio has completed training in advanced restorative procedures at the respected Pankey Institute. He has also received advanced dental implant training at the famous Misch Resnik Implant Institute, and he holds a fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.

  • What foods are healthy for my teeth?

    If you want a healthy smile, you’ll want a diet rich in whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables, calcium, and lean proteins. Make sure you avoid sugary drinks or sticky sweets, which can damage your tooth enamel. Drink plenty of water too! This washes away bacteria from your teeth and gums.
