- Cavity: Your dentist diagnoses and treats cavities, which are holes in your teeth caused by bacteria and acids breaking down the enamel.
- 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 Damage: Whether it's a small chip or a significant fracture, your dentist can diagnose and treat tooth damage to prevent further problems and pain.
- Tooth Decay: Tooth decay, or cavities, is damage to your tooth's enamel caused by bacteria, and your dentist can fill cavities to prevent further damage and pain.
- Toothache: A toothache signals a need for dental care. Your general dentist will find the causelike a cracked tooth or gum diseaseand develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Underbite: If your bottom teeth stick out beyond your top teeth, you have an underbite, which your general dentist can evaluate and create a treatment plan to correct.
- Oral Cancer: Oral cancer is a serious disease affecting the mouth, tongue, lips, and throat, and your dentist plays a key role in detecting it early through regular screenings.
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. Hasse offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers offer a conservative way to dramatically improve the aesthetics of your teeth, providing a beautiful, long-lasting solution.
- Scaling and Root Planing: To treat gum disease and prevent tooth loss, your dentist may perform scaling and root planing, a procedure to thoroughly clean your teeth below the gum line.
- Extraction of Wisdom Tooth: Wisdom tooth extraction removes a wisdom tooth that's impacted, causing pain or other problems.
- Composite Fillings: A composite filling is a safe and effective way to restore a decayed tooth and improve its appearance and function.
- Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to cavities.
- Dental Crown: When a tooth is significantly decayed or broken, a crown acts like a protective shell to prevent further damage and improve its function.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are a treatment option to restore your bite and improve the function and appearance of your teeth.
- Porcelain Crown: To strengthen a weakened tooth after a root canal, dentists often place a porcelain crown to protect the tooth from fracturing.
- 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.
- Digital X-Ray (CDR): Digital X-rays help your dentist accurately assess the health of your teeth and jawbone, crucial for planning procedures like implants or dentures.
- Dentures: Replacing missing teeth with dentures helps prevent jawbone loss and improves your bite.
- Dental Implant: Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into your jawbone to provide a stable base for replacement teeth.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Hasse:
- 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 for 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. Hasse 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, restoring a natural look and feel, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding gums are 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.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch for a small area of decay, while a crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are needed when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Hasse, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Hasse. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, a referral may be made to an Endodontist (a root canal specialist) to ensure the best possible outcome.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Tooth sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Hasse can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Hasse can reline the denture to reshape it for a better fit, or create a new one if needed. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
