As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Gideon offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tooth Discoloration: Stained or discolored teeth can be improved with the help of a general dentist, who offers various solutions such as professional cleaning, bleaching, or bonding.
- Dental Injury: Your dentist is the best resource for treating dental injuries, from fixing chips and cracks to addressing more serious trauma to your teeth and jaw.
- Grinding of Teeth: Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a condition where you clench or grind your teeth, often during sleep, and your dentist can help diagnose and treat it with custom mouthguards or other solutions.
- Tooth Decay: When bacteria break down tooth enamel, it creates tooth decay; your dentist can diagnose and treat this with fillings, crowns, or other procedures.
- Tooth Damage: From simple cosmetic fixes to more complex restorative procedures, a general dentist is equipped to handle a wide range of tooth damage scenarios.
- Dental Spacing: Dental spacing refers to the gaps or spaces between your teeth, which your dentist can assess during routine checkups to identify potential issues and recommend solutions.
- Cavity: Cavities are damaged areas in your teeth caused by bacteria, and your dentist can restore your tooth's health with a filling.
- Loose Teeth: Loose teeth are often treatable, depending on the cause; your general dentist can assess the situation and offer solutions like splinting, periodontal treatment, or extractions.
- Broken Tooth: Your dentist will assess the extent of the damage to your broken tooth and recommend the best treatment option, such as bonding, a filling, or a crown.
- Dental Crowding: Dental crowding is when you have too many teeth for the available space, causing crookedness and potential bite problems; a general dentist can help manage crowding through various treatments.
- Chipped Tooth: If you have a chipped tooth, your dentist can assess the damage and choose the best treatment option to restore its function and appearance.
- Gingivitis: Bleeding or swollen gums might indicate gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease that your dentist can help you control with regular cleanings and better brushing habits.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Gideon offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Ceramic Dental Crowns: To strengthen and improve the appearance of a damaged tooth, your dentist might recommend a ceramic crown, a custom-made cap that fits perfectly over your existing tooth.
- Crown Lengthening: Crown lengthening is a procedure that reshapes gum tissue to expose more of a tooth's surface, often needed before placing a crown or improving the appearance of a short tooth.
- Extraction of Wisdom Tooth: If your wisdom teeth are causing pain, crowding, or infection, extraction is a surgical procedure to remove them.
- Root Canal: Instead of pulling a badly decayed or infected tooth, a root canal cleans out and fills the inside of the tooth's root, preserving the natural tooth.
- Scaling and Root Planing: Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning that targets the roots of teeth affected by gum disease, helping to save your teeth and improve gum health.
- Restorative Procedure: These procedures fix problems like cavities, broken teeth, or missing teeth, restoring your smile and chewing ability.
- Dental Inlays: Inlays are used to repair significantly damaged teeth, providing a stronger and more natural-looking restoration than a standard filling.
Service availability can change. To understand which services are appropriate for your specific health needs, please schedule a consultation to develop a personalized care plan.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Gideon:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth but also your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Gideon can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless, yet vital part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Gideon will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums exposing tooth roots, worn-down enamel, or other issues like cavities or cracked teeth. Dr. Gideon can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, and check for underlying problems.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis), which can progress to more serious gum disease if left untreated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Gideon, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. In many cases, Dr. Gideon can handle your root canal needs right here in the office.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup and early cavities or gum disease, which can become painful or expensive to treat if left unaddressed.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge that looks and feels like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
