Family Dentist Tulsa, OK

General family dentistry that is focused on creating & preserving amazing oral health.

The Family Dentistry Team at elan

In order to maintain good oral health, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you see your dentist every six months for a dental checkup. At your dental checkup, we will inspect your soft tissues for oral cancer, periodontal disease, and other problems that require professional evaluation. Dr. Hodges will also look at each tooth in your mouth to assess problems like tooth decay or cracks.

Our dentist will also evaluate old dental work to make sure it’s still protecting your teeth. Old dental work such as metal fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns can wear out and need to be replaced. We will be happy to replace old dental work with tooth-colored alternatives that are both durable and natural looking.

If you are overdue for a dental checkup in the Tulsa area, please call (918) 528-3330 or fill out the form below to request an appointment with Dr. Meghan Hodges today.

General Dentistry

If you are looking for a dentist in Tulsa, Oklahoma that will protect, maintain, and improve, maintain, and improve. General dentistry describes dentistry that is primarily focused on maintaining your oral health. Typically, general dentistry is divided into two categories: preventive dentistry and restorative dentistry. Routine checkups fall under preventive dentistry. Preventive dentistry also includes your at-home hygiene. In fact, this is the most important part of preventive dentistry. We will help you learn how best to clean your teeth at home. Preventive dentistry also includes lifestyle awareness to help avoid tooth damage.

Restorative dentistry takes over when preventive dentistry is not enough. This does not mean you’re not doing a good job with oral hygiene. Some people are more genetically susceptible to tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. We will help you understand your personal risks so you can respond to them.

Good general dentistry may not be exciting, but it’s your best investment in the health and beauty of your teeth.

Regular Dental Checkups Protect Your Teeth

By visiting our office biannually you reduce your potential for large dental problems. For example, an untreated cavity can grow to destroy an entire tooth and spread to surrounding teeth. It can even become life-threatening. To avoid problems like this our dentist will work with you to develop a customized dental hygiene plan that incorporates dental examinations, tooth cleaning, possible tooth scaling, X-rays and use of other diagnostic equipment to prevent, uncover or treat problems as early as possible.

Even if you practice good oral hygiene habits at home such as regular brushing, flossing, and mouth rinsing plaque can still build up and requires professional removal that we can treat. Your at-home regime supplemented with our professional dental care will play an integral part in preventative oral care. By scheduling regular dental checkups with our office and removing the plaque that brushing alone cannot reach, you can reduce your chances of needing restorative dentistry.
