Rancho Cucamonga, CA, November 8, 2013 – A general dentist provides dental care that includes all areas of preventative oral health care like regular cleanings, dental exams, and x-rays. The Rancho Cucamonga Comprehensive Dentist office provides all these services for patient convenience. The general dentist is responsible for providing the patient with a treatment plan designed to optimize the health of their teeth and gums.

“General dentistry combines preventive and restorative services to optimize our patients’ oral health,” explains Dr. Chang. “The important treatments are the first line of defense in helping our patients avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. It is our goal to answer all our patients’ questions and discuss their concerns to help them understand the reasons for various treatments. We are proud that we have been providing our patients with exceptional dental care for over 25 years.”

The Rancho Cucamonga Comprehensive Dentist offers a wide range of basic dental treatments that are designed to protect oral health. This may include a variety of treatments like dental cleanings and oral cancer screenings by a professional hygienist and fillings and dental restorations provided by the dentist. But a general dentist may also have extensive expertise in other areas of dental medicine like root canals, periodontal treatments, dental implants, and appropriate care for patients with special health concerns like diabetes.

One important benefit to using the services of a general dentist is that they are most often the first dental professional that the patient turns to when a problem arises. This enables the dentist to track the history of the patient’s oral health and to build a relationship over time. This ongoing relationship results in efficient and effective treatment since the dentist is familiar with the patient’s oral health history.
