General Dentistry: Your Foundation for Lifelong Oral Health

Comprehensive dental care with advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and a focus on prevention.

Introduction

General dentistry forms the foundation of your oral health journey. At Ashar Dentistry, Dr. Tirmizi and her team provide comprehensive general dental services that go beyond routine checkups. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic technology including CBCT, digital scanners, and Pearl AI, we establish detailed baselines, track your progress over time, and create personalized prevention strategies that keep your smile healthy for years to come.

Our general dentistry services are designed around three core principles:
⦁ Thorough Assessment: Comprehensive examinations using the latest diagnostic tools
⦁ Preventive Focus: Proactive care that prevents problems before they develop
⦁ Patient Education: Empowering you with knowledge about your oral health

The Ashar Dentistry Comprehensive Exam Difference

Your first visit sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Dr. Tirmizi believes in establishing a complete understanding of your oral health before recommending any treatment. Our comprehensive examination is far more thorough than a typical dental checkup

What's Included in Your Comprehensive Exam:

Detailed Clinical Examination: Dr. Tirmizi personally examines every tooth, checking for cavities, cracks, wear patterns, and signs of disease. She evaluates your gums, soft tissues, jaw joints (TMJ), and bite alignment.
Complete Digital X-Ray SeriesIncluding bite-wing x-rays for cavity detection and panoramic x-rays (Pano) for a complete overview of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.
CBCT 3D Imaging (When Needed): For complex cases, our Cone Beam CT scanner provides three-dimensional views, revealing details that traditional x-rays cannot show. Essential for implant planning, root canal assessment, and detecting hidden pathology.
Intraoral Digital Scanning: We create precise digital models of your teeth using our advanced scanner, providing a baseline for tracking changes and planning treatments without messy impressions.
Oral Cancer Screening: A thorough examination of all soft tissues to detect early signs of oral cancer and other abnormalities.
Bite and TMJ Analysis: Assessment of how your teeth come together and evaluation of jaw joint health.
Periodontal (Gum) Assessment: Measuring pocket depths and checking for signs of gum disease.
Risk Assessment & Prevention Planning: We identify your unique risk factors and create a personalized prevention plan.

This comprehensive approach allows us to establish a complete health baseline. We track these metrics over time, enabling us to detect changes early and intervene before small problems become major issues.

More Than Just a Polish

Regular professional cleanings are essential for maintaining oral health. Even with excellent home care, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. Our experienced dental hygiene team provides thorough, gentle cleanings tailored to your specific needs.

Regular Prophylaxis (Routine Cleaning)

For patients with healthy gums, our regular cleaning includes:

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning/SRP)

For patients with gum disease or significant tartar buildup below the gum line, we offer scaling and root planing:

Dr. Tirmizi will carefully evaluate your gum health and recommend the appropriate cleaning protocol. Our goal is to eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and restore your gums to health.

Periodontal Maintenance:

After treatment for gum disease, regular periodontal maintenance appointments are crucial for preventing recurrence. These specialized cleanings are more frequent and thorough than routine prophylaxis.

Brighten Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening

A bright, white smile boosts confidence and makes a lasting impression. At Ashar Dentistry, we offer two professional teeth whitening options to fit your lifestyle and goals.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Our most popular option provides professional-grade results in the comfort of your home:

Chair-Side In-Office Whitening

For those who want immediate results, our in-office whitening provides dramatic improvements in a single visit:

Dr. Tirmizi will evaluate your teeth and discuss which whitening option is best for your needs, timeline, and budget. Professional whitening is safe, effective, and provides superior results compared to over-the-counter products.
