As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Hamam offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Broken Tooth: A broken tooth is a cracked or chipped tooth that needs a dentist's attention to prevent further damage and pain.
- 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.
- Dental Disorders: Dental disorders encompass a wide range of problems affecting teeth, gums, and the mouth, and your general dentist is key to diagnosing and treating them.
- Loose Teeth: Experiencing loose teeth? A general dentist can diagnose the problem, whether it's gum disease, injury, or bone loss, and recommend appropriate care.
- Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess is a pus-filled pocket caused by a bacterial infection, and your general dentist is the expert to diagnose and treat this painful condition.
- 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.
- Tooth Decay: Cavities are holes in your teeth caused by acid produced from bacteria, and a general dentist can treat these with fillings or other restorative options.
- Tooth Demineralization: Demineralization weakens your teeth by removing essential minerals, increasing the risk of cavities and sensitivity; your dentist can detect it early and recommend treatments to restore your teeth's strength.
- Tooth Discoloration: Discoloration of teeth can be caused by various factors, and your general dentist can assess the issue and develop a personalized treatment plan to address it.
- Tooth Loss: If you've lost teeth, a general dentist can create a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile and improve your oral function with options such as bridges or dentures.
- 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. Hamam offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Restoration of Dental Implants: Through restoration, your dentist can address complications with your dental implants, such as gum recession or infection, and make them healthy again.
- 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.
- 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.
- Dental Implant: Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, offering a strong and secure foundation for replacement teeth that feel and function like your natural teeth.
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: Expect a thorough cleaning and polishing of your teeth and gums to remove bacteria and reduce inflammation during non-surgical gum treatment.
- Root Planing: This procedure, often done along with scaling, targets the root surfaces of your teeth to get rid of harmful bacteria and improve gum health.
- Composite Fillings: Composite fillings are tooth-colored materials used to repair cavities and restore damaged teeth.
- Lower Dentures: Lower dentures are removable replacements for missing lower teeth, restoring your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
- Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are used to reshape and enhance the look of teeth, providing a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for cosmetic dental concerns.
- Upper Dentures: If you're missing your upper teeth, upper dentures are a prosthetic device that restores your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
- Digital X-Ray (CDR): Digital X-rays use low-radiation technology to create detailed images of your teeth and gums, helping your dentist diagnose cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.
- Simple Tooth Extractions: A simple tooth extraction is a procedure to safely remove a tooth that's causing pain or impacting the health of surrounding teeth.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Hamam:
- 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 isn't just about teeth; it's essential for 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. Hamam can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if they don't have any pain. These visits are essential for preventing problems, like tartar buildup and cavities, that can become costly or painful if left untreated.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, which 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 crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Hamam 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 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. Hamam performs this vital part of every routine dental exam to help detect oral cancer early, which is key to successful treatment.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding is 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.
- 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 like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
