As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Walls offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Dental Crowding: If your teeth don't have enough space to grow properly, resulting in overlapping or misaligned teeth, it's called dental crowding; your dentist can develop a treatment plan to address this.
- Bleeding Gums: Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease, and your general dentist can diagnose and treat it to prevent further problems.
- Dislocated Jaw: If your jawbone shifts out of its normal position, causing pain and limited movement, a general dentist can gently put it back in place.
- Candidiasis of Mouth: Oral thrush is a common fungal infection that appears as creamy white lesions on the tongue or inner cheeks, and your dentist can prescribe medication to eliminate it.
- 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.
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder: TMJ disorders involve the joint connecting your jaw to your skull, leading to pain and limited movement; your dentist can diagnose and create a treatment plan to manage this condition.
- Tooth Pulp Inflammation: If the soft tissue within your tooth becomes infected or irritated, leading to pain and sensitivity, this is tooth pulp inflammation and your dentist can help relieve the pain and prevent further damage.
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. Walls offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Ceramic Dental Crowns: Ceramic crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance.
- Frenectomy: If a frenulum is restricting movement of your tongue or lip, a frenectomy might be recommended to release the tension and improve function.
- Arestin® Therapy: To fight gum disease, Arestin® is a local antibiotic placed directly into the infected gum pockets during a dental cleaning.
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Oral and maxillofacial surgery can improve your facial structure, correct jaw alignment, and resolve issues that may affect your ability to eat, speak, or breathe comfortably.
- Intraoral Camera: With an intraoral camera, your dentist can take close-up pictures of your teeth and gums to help explain your treatment plan and ensure you understand what's happening.
- Dental Implant: For a reliable and permanent way to replace missing teeth, dental implants provide a strong, stable base for individual crowns or a full set of dentures.
- Smile Makeovers: This treatment option addresses cosmetic concerns, such as crooked, stained, or missing teeth, to create a more attractive and harmonious smile.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Walls:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is closely linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter the bloodstream, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is crucial for maintaining not only 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 the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Walls can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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. Walls will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do 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.
- 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. Dr. Walls can perform a relining procedure to reshape the denture for a better fit, or create a new denture if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- 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.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, as they allow the dental team to remove tartar buildup and catch issues early.
- 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 has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
