General dentistry is your everyday, preventive care — the routine exams, cleanings, X-rays, and fillings that keep your smile healthy and catch small problems before they turn into big ones.

At Village Dental, general dentistry is the foundation of everything we do. Most of what keeps teeth healthy for a lifetime isn't dramatic — it's consistent: a thorough exam, a professional cleaning, a set of images to see what the eye can't, and an honest conversation about anything worth watching. Our goal is simple — build a practice we'd want to be patients in, where nobody feels judged for how long it's been.

Because our offices handle restorative, cosmetic, and implant care in-house too, anything we spot during a routine visit can be planned and treated by the same team you already know — no specialist shuffle across town.

FAQ

Common questions about general dentistry

How often should I see a dentist?

For most people, every six months — two visits a year — is the right rhythm for cleanings and exams. If you're managing gum disease or other concerns, we may suggest coming in more often. It's been a while? That's completely fine; we'll just start where you are.

What happens at a first visit?

A comprehensive exam, a full set of digital X-rays, and a professional cleaning, followed by a clear explanation of anything worth addressing. New patients pay $97 for a basic routine cleaning at any of our four offices, and patients without dental insurance receive a complimentary exam and X-rays.

Do you take my insurance?

Village Dental accepts most major dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, and United Healthcare. Our front desk verifies your benefits before your visit, and uninsured patients can join the Village Dental Membership Plan for affordable preventive care.

Can the whole family be seen at one office?

Yes. Every office treats all ages, from a toddler's first checkup to adult and senior care — and families can book back-to-back appointments so everyone's seen in one trip.
