As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Britton offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Cavity: Your dentist diagnoses and treats cavities, which are holes in your teeth caused by bacteria and acids breaking down the enamel.
- Chipped Tooth: Don't ignore a chipped tooth! Your general dentist can provide treatment, ranging from simple repair to more extensive restorative work.
- Gingivitis: Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease where your gums become inflamed and red, and your dentist can help treat it with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease is caused by bacteria buildup and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated; your dentist provides regular checkups and treatments to prevent and manage it.
- 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 Discoloration: Tooth discoloration is a change in the natural color of your teeth, and a general dentist can help determine the cause and recommend treatments like whitening or veneers.
- Tooth Loss: Tooth loss is the absence of one or more teeth, and a general dentist can help replace missing teeth with dentures, bridges, or implants.
- Toothache: Don't suffer with a toothache! Your dentist can identify what's causing the pain, whether it's a cavity, infection, or other dental problem, and offer solutions for relief.
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. Britton offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Dental Bonding: If you have a small cavity or a slightly damaged tooth, dental bonding can be a quick and relatively inexpensive way to restore it.
- Dental Bridge: This procedure involves attaching artificial teeth to existing teeth or implants, closing the space left by missing teeth.
- Dental Crown: Dental crowns can improve the aesthetics of a tooth, covering discoloration or imperfections for a natural-looking result.
- Dental Inlays: Dental inlays are custom-made fillings that are stronger and more durable than traditional fillings, used to restore damaged teeth.
- Dental Onlay: A dental onlay is a strong, custom-made filling that covers a larger area of a tooth than a regular filling, protecting and restoring it to its original shape and function.
- Local Anesthesia: During dental work, local anesthesia ensures you won't feel any discomfort or pain in the treated area.
- Hybridge Dental Implant: Hybridge implants are used to replace one or more missing teeth using a combination of dental implants and a fixed bridge.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Britton:
- 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. Britton can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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 great option for you.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum changes can loosen dentures. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of damage, while a crown is like a cap that covers the entire tooth, providing strength and protection when a tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal.
- 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. Britton will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. These visits help prevent problems like cavities and gum disease by removing tartar and allowing early detection. Regular checkups are key to maintaining a healthy smile.
- 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), which can progress to more serious gum disease if untreated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
