As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Basit offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Cleft Palate: Children born with a cleft palate, a gap in the roof of their mouth, benefit from a general dentist's expertise in providing routine dental care and addressing related issues.
- Cherubism: Characterized by overgrowth of the jawbones, cherubism affects the development of teeth and can lead to dental problems; your dentist can help manage these issues and prevent further complications.
- Occlusal Disease: Occlusal disease is a condition affecting the way your teeth come together, causing problems such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or chipped teeth, which your dentist can help diagnose and manage.
- Gum Cancer: General dentists are trained to recognize the signs of gum cancer during routine oral exams and can refer you to specialists for further treatment if necessary.
- Crooked Teeth: Crooked teeth can affect your bite and make it difficult to chew or clean your teeth properly; your general dentist can help you find the right specialist to correct this.
- Chipped Tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can cause pain and sensitivity; a general dentist can fix the chip, preventing further problems.
- 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.
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. Basit offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Dental Crown: If a tooth is severely weakened or cracked, a crown can provide the necessary support and protection.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers offer a conservative way to dramatically improve the aesthetics of your teeth, providing a beautiful, long-lasting solution.
- Simple Tooth Extractions: If a tooth is severely damaged or infected, a simple extraction removes it to prevent further issues and improve oral health.
- Complex Tooth Extraction: A complex tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth that's difficult to access or remove due to its position, size, or damage.
- Composite Fillings: If you have a cavity, a composite filling is a way to rebuild the tooth's structure and prevent further decay.
- Pulpotomy: If your child has a cavity that's reached the pulp of their tooth, a pulpotomy might be done to remove the infected area and help preserve the tooth.
- Laser Treatment for Dental Fillings: Laser treatment may help create a more comfortable and precise filling procedure, reducing the need for drills in some cases.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Basit:
- 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 not just about your teeth; it's a vital part of 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. Basit can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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, restoring a natural look and feel, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Basit can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that may be causing the sensitivity.
- 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.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Basit, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Basit will determine the best course of treatment for your specific needs.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual inspection of your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Basit performs this vital part of every routine dental exam to help detect oral cancer early, which is key to successful treatment.
- 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 cause pain or significant damage.
