As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Machart offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Black Hairy Tongue: Characterized by a dark, furry-looking tongue, black hairy tongue is a mostly harmless condition your dentist can help clear up with guidance on better brushing and cleaning.
- Underbite: Having an underbite means your lower jaw is positioned too far forward, and your general dentist can advise on solutions to improve its alignment and your bite.
- Orofacial Pain: If you're dealing with pain anywhere in your face, mouth, or jaw, a general dentist is your first point of contact for diagnosis and treatment of this orofacial pain.
- Oral Cancer: During your dental checkup, your dentist will examine your mouth for any signs of oral cancer, such as sores, lumps, or white or red patches.
- Impacted Teeth: When a tooth fails to fully emerge from the gums, becoming impacted, a dentist can surgically remove it or develop a treatment plan to manage the issue.
- Chronic Periodontitis: Chronic periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease that causes damage to the gums and bone, and your general dentist is key in diagnosing and managing this condition.
- Tooth Demineralization: When your teeth lose minerals, a process called demineralization, they become vulnerable to decay; regular checkups with your general dentist help detect and reverse early stages of demineralization.
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. Machart offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Hybridge Dental Implant: A Hybridge dental implant is a type of dental implant that replaces missing teeth, providing a strong, natural-looking solution.
- Composite Fillings: Composite fillings are a common treatment for small to medium-sized cavities, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Oral Surgical Procedures: Some oral surgical procedures are done to diagnose or treat conditions that affect the gums, jawbone, or surrounding tissues.
- Diode Laser Soft Tissue Treatment: For some gum issues, a diode laser provides precise treatment, reducing discomfort and promoting faster recovery than traditional methods.
- Sinus Augmentation: Sinus augmentation is used to build up the bone in your sinuses to allow for the placement of dental implants where there isn't sufficient bone height.
- Root Canal: If a tooth's nerve is infected or dying, a root canal removes the infection, cleans the root canals, and seals them to prevent further damage and save the tooth.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: Oral conscious sedation uses medication to help you relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures.
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. Machart:
- 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 for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth and gums, 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. Machart 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 the look and feel of a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums, exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Machart can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that may be contributing to the problem.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Machart, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Machart will determine the best course of action for each patient.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, making dentures loosen. 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 crucial 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 or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when the tooth is more severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- 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. Machart will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
