As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Hearrean offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Broken Dental Appliance: A broken dental appliance, like a crown or denture, needs immediate attention from your dentist to prevent further damage or discomfort.
- Cleft Palate: Children born with a cleft palate, a gap in the roof of their mouth, benefit from a general dentist's expertise in providing routine dental care and addressing related issues.
- Oral Thrush (Candidiasis): Oral thrush is a common mouth infection caused by a fungus; your dentist can help manage and treat this condition.
- Clicking of Temporomandibular Joint: If your jaw clicks when you open or close your mouth, your dentist can assess if it's a TMJ issue and recommend treatment options like splints or exercises.
- Canker Sore: Canker sores are small, painful ulcers inside the mouth that your general dentist can help manage by suggesting remedies to soothe them and rule out more serious issues.
- Teething: A general dentist can help parents understand the signs and symptoms of teething and provide recommendations for managing any related discomfort or issues.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea: OSA can cause snoring and daytime sleepiness, and your dentist can assess your oral structures for possible causes and suggest solutions like oral appliances.
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. Hearrean offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Removable Appliances: Removable appliances are custom-made devices, like dentures or retainers, that can be taken in and out of your mouth as needed.
- Prophy Jet Air Polishing: This advanced cleaning technique blasts away surface stains and plaque more effectively than traditional polishing, resulting in a brighter, healthier smile.
- Gum Disease Treatment: If you have gum disease, treatment involves cleaning and removing bacteria to save your teeth and gums.
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: Ultrasonic cleaning is a more effective way to remove hard-to-reach plaque and tartar, reducing your risk of gum disease and cavities compared to manual cleaning.
- Denture Repair: Denture repair fixes broken or damaged dentures, restoring their proper fit and function.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Hearrean:
- 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 the bloodstream, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about your teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining 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. Hearrean can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the existing one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual examination of the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Hearrean performs this important part of every routine dental exam to help detect potential problems early, which is key to successful treatment.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Hearrean can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- 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 needed when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or after a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding while 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, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious gum disease.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Hearrean, 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. Hearrean.
