As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Chance offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Gingivitis: Gingivitis is gum inflammation, often causing redness, swelling, and bleeding gums; your dentist can diagnose and manage it to prevent further gum disease.
- Grinding of Teeth: Do you wake up with jaw pain or headaches? You might be grinding your teeth at night, a problem your dentist can help manage to protect your teeth and alleviate discomfort.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can damage the soft tissues and bones supporting your teeth, and your dentist can help manage it with cleanings and treatments.
- Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess is a painful infection at the root of a tooth, and your general dentist can drain it, prescribe antibiotics, and potentially perform a root canal to save the tooth.
- 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: Tooth demineralization is the process where acid wears away the minerals in your tooth enamel, leaving it vulnerable to decay; your dentist will diagnose and develop a treatment plan to restore your teeth's health.
- Tooth Loss: General dentists diagnose the causes of tooth loss, such as gum disease or injury, and provide treatments to prevent further loss and replace missing teeth.
- 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. Chance offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Porcelain Veneers: To get veneers, your dentist will prepare your teeth and then custom-fit and bond the porcelain shells to create a stunning and natural-looking smile.
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: During an ultrasonic cleaning, your dentist uses a tool that produces vibrations to break up and remove plaque and tartar, leading to healthier gums and teeth.
- Composite Fillings: A composite filling is a safe and effective way to restore a decayed tooth and improve its appearance and function.
- Restoration of Dental Implants: This procedure addresses problems with existing dental implants, such as loose or broken components, improving their stability and longevity.
- Denture Repair: Through denture repair, your dentist can make adjustments to improve the fit and functionality of your dentures.
- Root Planing: Root planing is a treatment for gum disease that involves carefully scraping away infected tissue and tartar from the tooth roots to reduce inflammation.
- Simple Tooth Extractions: Simple tooth extractions are a common treatment for removing teeth that are beyond repair, relieving pain and improving your smile.
- 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.
- Dental Bonding: To improve the look of your teeth, your dentist might use dental bonding to cover stains or reshape teeth that are uneven or misshapen.
- 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.
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: Non-surgical gum treatment helps reverse early gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup, improving gum health.
- Dental Bridge: This procedure involves attaching artificial teeth to existing teeth or implants, closing the space left by missing teeth.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Chance:
- 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 for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not just 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 your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Chance 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. These visits are vital for prevention, allowing our team to remove tartar and identify problems like cavities or gum disease early, before they become painful or costly to treat.
- 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). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Chance 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 part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Chance will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Chance, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. 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. Chance.
- 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.
