General Dentistry
General dentistry focuses on maintaining overall oral health through preventive, diagnostic, and restorative treatments. Here’s the typical process at Zensmiles Dental:
Initial Consultation & Examination
- The dentist reviews your dental history and discusses any concerns.
- A thorough oral examination is performed, which may include X-rays and digital scans.
- The dentist evaluates teeth, gums, and overall oral health to detect issues early.
Preventive Care & Cleaning
- Professional teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing) removes plaque and tartar buildup.
- Fluoride treatment or dental sealants may be recommended for extra protection.
- Oral hygiene instructions are provided to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
Depending on your needs, a combination of these treatments may be performed:
- If dental problems like cavities, gum disease, or misalignment are found, a personalized treatment plan is created.
- The dentist explains available treatment options and timelines.
Restorative & Corrective Procedures (If Needed)

- Orthodontics & Aligners – For correcting teeth misalignment.
Aftercare & Follow-Ups
