- 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.
- Periodontitis: If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss, so regular dental checkups are key for early detection and treatment by your dentist.
- Tongue-Tie: Tongue-tie is a condition where a short, thick band of tissue under the tongue restricts its movement, and a general dentist can help diagnose and sometimes treat it.
- Tooth Abscess: Don't ignore a persistent toothache it might be a sign of a tooth abscess, a serious infection that your general dentist can diagnose and treat to prevent further complications.
- Tooth Damage: Tooth damage can lead to infection, sensitivity, and discomfort, but your general dentist has the expertise to repair and protect your damaged teeth.
- 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.

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. Haddad offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Dental Implant: If you're missing teeth, dental implants can act like real tooth roots, supporting crowns or dentures for a natural-looking and functioning smile.
- Smile Makeovers: Smile makeovers combine multiple dental treatments to enhance your smile's aesthetics, addressing issues like discoloration, chips, or gaps.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are removable appliances that replace some, but not all, of your missing teeth.
- Removable Appliances: Removable appliances are custom-made devices, like dentures or retainers, that can be taken in and out of your mouth as needed.
- Dental Bridge: Dental bridges restore your natural bite and prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
- Crown Lengthening: When a tooth needs a crown but is hidden beneath the gum line, crown lengthening surgery reshapes the gum tissue to properly expose the tooth for the crown.
- Inlay Restoration: If a cavity is too large for a standard filling, your dentist might recommend an inlay, a more robust restoration that fits precisely into the tooth.
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. Haddad:
- 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 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. Haddad can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Haddad can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- 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, cavities, and gum disease, which can be caught early and treated more easily.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Haddad can reline existing dentures or create a new set if needed, ensuring a comfortable and proper fit for eating and speaking. A proper fit is important for overall oral health.
- 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.
- 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. Haddad will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease.
