As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Ellis offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tooth Decay: Your dentist can identify and repair tooth decay, which happens when acid from plaque eats away at your tooth enamel, causing holes and potential infection.
- Cavity: A cavity, or dental caries, is a hole in your tooth caused by tooth decay that your dentist can fill to prevent further damage.
- 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.
- Dental Disorders: Many conditions impacting your teeth and gums are considered dental disorders, and your dentist is the specialist to diagnose and treat these concerns.
- Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess is a pus-filled pocket caused by a bacterial infection, and your general dentist is the expert to diagnose and treat this painful condition.
- Toothache: A toothache is pain in or around a tooth, and your general dentist can diagnose the cause (like a cavity or infection) and provide treatment like fillings or root canals.
- Tooth Malformation: If your teeth have unusual shapes or sizes due to a condition called tooth malformation, a general dentist is the right professional to help you understand and manage this issue.
- Tooth Loss: If you've lost teeth, a general dentist can create a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile and improve your oral function with options such as bridges or dentures.
- Mouth Conditions: Your dentist is your go-to healthcare provider for various mouth conditions, offering solutions from simple cleanings to complex restorative procedures.
- Bad Taste in Mouth: A bad taste in your mouth, also called dysgeusia, can signal an underlying oral health problem, and your general dentist can help identify and treat the cause.
- Dental Injury: Whether it's a sports injury, an accident, or a fall, your dentist can assess and address any damage to your teeth and mouth caused by dental trauma.
- Receding Gums: If your gums are pulling away from your teeth, you might have receding gums, a condition that increases the risk of tooth loss; your dentist can diagnose this and discuss options to prevent further recession and maintain your teeth.
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. Ellis offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Amalgam Dental Fillings: Amalgam fillings are a type of tooth filling made from a mix of metals, used to repair cavities and protect the tooth from further damage.
- Dental Cleaning: Regular cleanings are a crucial part of preventing gum disease and cavities, keeping your smile bright and healthy.
- Dental Crown: A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
- Dental Implant: Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, offering a strong and secure foundation for replacement teeth that feel and function like your natural teeth.
- Root Canal: When decay or trauma deeply affects a tooth, a root canal is performed to remove the infected pulp, disinfect the area, and fill it to prevent future infection.
- Restoration of Dental Implants: Dental implant restoration involves various techniques to repair or replace parts of a dental implant system, maintaining a secure and comfortable fit.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are attached to implants surgically placed in your jawbone, providing a better fit, improved chewing ability, and increased confidence.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Ellis:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter the 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. Ellis 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 part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Ellis will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum changes can cause dentures to loosen. Dr. Ellis can reline the existing denture to reshape it for a better fit, or create a new one if necessary. A proper fit is important for comfortable eating and speaking.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if they aren't experiencing any pain. These visits are vital for preventing issues like tartar buildup and early cavities or gum disease, which can be costly and painful 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, restoring a natural look and feel, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Ellis, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Ellis will determine the best course of action to ensure the best possible outcome for your specific situation.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Ellis can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
