General dentistry is the most common dental care provided. The American Dental Association recommends you visit your general dentist for a regular visit at least once every 6-months to maintain a healthy smile. Regular checkups and oral health maintenance prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment – so make sure to visit your dentist regularly so you can enjoy a healthy smile!
Preventative dentistry may actually head off heart attack, stroke, and diabetes— even catching oral cancer and osteoporosis early, before problems arise.
Apart from the individual services we offer in general and preventative dentistry, every checkup includes a complete periodontal evaluation.
Whether it’s been a while since your last checkup or you are worried about a tooth, our patients in the Richmond, Virginia, area come to us because we put their comfort first. To ensure your mouth is healthy, checkups include face time with your dentist, digital X-rays when needed, a complete periodontal assessment, oral cancer screening, and a bite and jaw movement evaluation. During the checkup, if we find decay, broken fillings, or fractures, your dentist will recommend a treatment plan, and you can discuss possible next steps together.

That’s why it’s important to pay attention to the symptoms you may experience that could indicate you have sleep apnea, a condition that causes people to involuntarily stop breathing for 10 or more seconds throughout the night. Because these symptoms are so chronic, they can be hard to recognize. Unfortunately, many people allow them to become “their norm” when they shouldn’t be. At Midlothian Dental Center, we help treat sleeping disorders like sleep apnea, as well as chronic snoring. If you think you may not be getting the most restful sleep you can, make your appointment with us today. Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that is associated with higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Dental bonding may be a great option for you based on your needs and goals. Dental bonding is a cosmetic solution available to improve the appearance of your teeth. Unlike veneers, bonding doesn’t require anything be sent a way to a laboratory in order to create a customized mold. With bonding, chipped, misshapen, discolored, or damaged teeth can be fixed seamlessly in one visit. Bonding is one of the easiest cosmetic dental procedures, making it one of the most affordable. Our dentists use composite resin to carefully shape and polish bonding as closely as possible to match your teeth.

Silver fillings tend to expand, which means they sometimes damage the tooth’s structure so it no longer holds a filling. This is where Midlothian Dental Center can help by replacing your filling with a tooth-colored filling – or replacing the filling with a crown. Tooth-colored fillings are made of resin, and have a much more natural appearance than silver fillings. With a resin filling, your tooth can be made stronger than before. Crowns, also known as caps, cover the entire tooth down to the root to keep it protected. Crowns can endure heavier use, which is why they are helpful in treating decayed or broken teeth.
