As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Cholopisa offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Impacted Teeth: If a tooth doesn't break through the gums, it's called an impacted tooth; your dentist can assess its position and recommend removal or monitoring.
- Pericoronitis: A partially impacted tooth can lead to pericoronitis, an infection causing swelling and pain; your dentist can diagnose and treat this condition, which may involve removing the tooth.
- Oral Cancer: Oral cancer may not always show obvious symptoms, highlighting the importance of regular dental visits for early detection and referral to specialists if needed.
- Crossbite: A crossbite is when your upper teeth don't properly overlap your lower teeth, and your dentist can help correct it with braces or other treatments.
- Halitosis: If you're concerned about bad breath (halitosis), your dentist can determine the source, which might be anything from poor oral hygiene to a more serious condition, and provide solutions.
- Dental Spacing: Dental spacing refers to the gaps or spaces between your teeth, which your dentist can assess during routine checkups to identify potential issues and recommend solutions.
- Lichen Planus: Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin and mucous membrane condition that can affect the mouth, causing white lacy patches or sores, and your dentist can help manage symptoms and monitor for complications.
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. Cholopisa offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: An ultrasonic dental cleaning helps to remove stubborn stains and plaque buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss, improving your smile's appearance and oral health.
- Special Needs Patients-General Care: This service focuses on adapting dental care to the unique needs of patients with developmental, cognitive, physical, or sensory disabilities.
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: Non-surgical methods like deep cleaning can help save your teeth and gums from the damage caused by gum disease, before surgery becomes necessary.
- Restoring Teeth: Restoring teeth involves fixing damaged or decayed teeth to improve their function and appearance.
- Porcelain Crown: A porcelain crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
- Molar Endodontics: If a cavity or injury reaches the nerve of your molar, endodontic treatment cleans and seals the infected area, saving your tooth from extraction.
- Endodontic Treatment: Endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy, saves severely damaged or infected teeth by removing the inner pulp and sealing the root to prevent further problems.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Cholopisa:
- 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 the bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential not just for healthy teeth and gums, but also for maintaining optimal overall health.
- 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. Cholopisa can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup, cavities, and gum disease, which can be caught and treated early before they become painful or costly.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Cholopisa, 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. Cholopisa.
- 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 help preserve the jawbone. Dr. Cholopisa can assess if implants are a good option for you during a consultation.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Cholopisa can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change shape, often causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Cholopisa can reline existing dentures to improve the fit, or create a new set if necessary. 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 part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Cholopisa will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
