General dentistry is the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, its various structures, and the surrounding regions. The vast majority of general dental work is to educate patients about oral care and perform dental checkups with teeth cleanings to ensure their teeth remain clean and healthy. General dentists can also perform restorative treatments, such as fillings or crowns, when teeth have become decayed or damaged. At Fedorciw, Massoumi, & Kolbig, we are dedicated to keeping your teeth healthy and offering a variety of restoration methods when that is not the case.
