As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Siu offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Chronic Periodontitis: Gum disease that persists over a long time is called chronic periodontitis, leading to potential tooth loss, and your dentist provides ongoing care to prevent further damage.
- Burning Mouth Syndrome: A persistent, unexplained burning sensation in your mouth might indicate burning mouth syndrome, and your dentist can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate management strategies.
- Periodontitis: Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissues and bone supporting your teeth, and your dentist can help manage it with treatments to prevent further damage and tooth loss.
- Carcinoma Tongue: Carcinoma of the tongue is a type of mouth cancer that a general dentist can detect during routine checkups, referring you to a specialist for treatment if needed.
- Oral Thrush (Candidiasis): If you have painful white patches or soreness in your mouth, it may be oral thrush, treatable by your dentist.
- Dentofacial Anomalies: Problems with the position of your teeth and jaw (dentofacial anomalies) can affect your bite and appearance, and a general dentist is often the first step in getting a diagnosis and treatment plan.
- Cleft Lip: A cleft lip is a birth defect where a baby's lip doesn't fully form, creating an opening or split, and a general dentist plays a vital role in the long-term care and repair of the lip.
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.

- Implant-Supported Crown: An implant-supported crown combines a dental implant with a crown for a durable and natural-looking restoration of a single missing tooth.
- Pediatric Filling: To restore a damaged or decayed tooth in a child, a dentist uses a special type of filling designed for children's smaller teeth.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Siu:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is directly linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is crucial 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. Siu 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, which can cause dentures to 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 a damaged tooth. A crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, used when a tooth is more severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Yes, 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.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums, exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Siu can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Siu, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Siu will determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless, but vital part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Siu will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
