General Dentist in Salt Lake City
General dentistry is the foundation of what we do at Lakeside Dental. It includes preventive care that helps maintain healthy teeth and gums, as well as diagnosing and treating problems when they occur.
Dr. Keith Egan and our team provide general dental care for individuals and families in Salt Lake City. Our approach is straightforward: understand what's going on, listen to what's important to you, and recommend care based on your individual needs and goals.
Preventive Care and Regular Dental Visits
Regular dental visits give us an opportunity to evaluate your teeth and gums, look for changes, and address concerns before they become more complicated.
- Dental exams
- Professional cleanings
- Digital X-rays when appropriate
- Periodontal evaluation
- Oral soft-tissue evaluation
- Dental sealants and fluoride when appropriate
- Night guards
- Monitoring of existing dental work
When Something Needs Attention
General dentistry also includes diagnosing and treating problems involving the teeth, gums, and bite. When we find a problem, our first priority is to help you understand it. We'll explain what we see, why it matters, and what treatment options are available.
- Tooth decay and fillings
- Cracked or damaged teeth
- Dental crowns
- Gum disease and scaling/root planing
- Tooth pain and sensitivity
- Root canal treatment
- Extractions
- Missing teeth
- Dental emergencies
- Grinding or clenching
Dental Care Based on Your Needs
Not every dental problem has the same solution, and not every patient has the same priorities. Dr. Egan's recommendations take into account your dental health, the condition of the tooth or teeth involved, your overall treatment needs, and what you hope to accomplish.
More Than a Checkup
For some patients, general dentistry is mostly preventive care. For others, it may involve restoring damaged teeth, managing gum disease, replacing missing teeth, or coordinating several types of treatment over time. Having a dentist who knows your history also allows us to follow changes from one visit to the next.
