A healthy, vibrant smile is built on a foundation of consistent, high-quality dental care. This is the core of general dentistry”your primary resource for maintaining your oral health for a lifetime. For families in and around Lakewood, CO, finding a dental home that can care for everyone's needs, from a simple checkup to a restorative filling, is essential.
At Raines Over the Rockies Family Dentistry, we are proud to be that partner for our community. Our approach to general dentistry is centered on prevention, education, and personalized care to keep you and your family smiling brightly.
What is General Dentistry?
Think of your general dentist as the family doctor for your smile. A general dentist is your first line of defense, trained to diagnose, treat, and manage your overall oral health. While some dentists specialize, a general dentist provides a wide array of crucial services, from preventative cleanings to restorative procedures.
The ultimate goal of general dentistry is to catch small issues before they become large, painful, or expensive problems.
Our General & Family Dentistry Services
We provide a comprehensive suite of general dentistry services right here in our Lakewood office, all designed to keep your teeth and gums in peak condition.
Preventative & Family Care
The easiest way to treat a dental problem is to prevent it from ever happening. Our preventative program is the cornerstone of our practice.
-
Routine Checkups & Cleanings: Professional cleanings remove hardened plaque (tartar) that you can't remove at home. Regular exams allow us to spot early signs of decay or gum disease.
-
Digital X-Rays: We use modern, low-radiation x-rays to get a clear picture of what's happening beneath the surface.
-
Patient Education: We partner with you, offering advice on at-home care, nutrition, and habits to protect your smile.
Restorative Dentistry
If a tooth is damaged by decay or an accident, our restorative services can bring it back to full strength and function.
-
Tooth-Colored Fillings: We use modern, composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, making repairs virtually invisible.
-
Same-Day Crowns: For more significant decay or a cracked tooth, we offer state-of-the-art, same-day dental crowns to protect your tooth without a long wait.
Gum Therapy (Periodontal Treatment)
Your gums are the foundation of your smile. We provide effective gum therapy to treat gingivitis and manage periodontitis (gum disease), protecting you from gum recession and tooth loss.
