As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Buyl offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Gum Disease: Ignoring gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other health problems; your dentist can diagnose and treat it through cleanings, scaling, and other procedures.
- 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.
- Worn Down Teeth: Over time, teeth can become shorter and more sensitive due to wear and tear; your dentist can identify the cause and provide treatments like fillings, crowns, or protective mouthguards.
- 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.
- Salivary Gland Stones and Inflammation: Inflammation in your salivary glands can be painful and result from infection or blockage; a general dentist can help identify the cause and recommend treatment.
- Mouth Conditions: From cavities and gum disease to oral sores and infections, mouth conditions are addressed by dentists who provide treatment and prevention strategies.
- Chronic Periodontitis: Persistent gum infection leading to bone loss around your teeth is chronic periodontitis, and a dentist can help treat this through various therapies to prevent tooth loss.
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. Buyl offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Amalgam Filling Removal: If you have concerns about mercury in your old silver fillings, amalgam removal safely extracts them to improve your oral health.
- DIAGNOdent® Laser Cavity Detection: This laser technology helps your dentist find cavities early, so treatment can begin before the decay becomes more extensive and painful.
- Onlay Restoration: Think of an onlay as a custom-fitted cap that covers a significant part of your tooth, providing strength and protecting it from further decay or fracture.
- Laser Cavity Detection: With laser cavity detection, your dentist can pinpoint areas of tooth decay that might be missed with traditional methods.
- Cerec® Tooth Restoration Procedure: If you need a crown to repair a damaged tooth, Cerec® offers a convenient, same-day solution that avoids the need for multiple dental visits and temporary crowns.
- Periodontal Exam: A periodontal exam checks the health of your gums and the bone supporting your teeth, helping to detect gum disease early.
- Excision or Destruction of Dentoalveolar Lesion or Tumor: This procedure involves removing a suspicious growth or tumor in the mouth or jaw to determine if it's cancerous or benign.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Buyl:
- 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. Buyl 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, but vital part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Buyl will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists like Dr. Buyl can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Buyl.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Buyl can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease.
- 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 natural, and can help preserve the jawbone. If you have sufficient jawbone health, implants may be a good option for you.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Buyl can reline the existing denture to reshape it for a better fit, or create a new one if the current denture is significantly worn. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
