Cary dentist, Dentist in Cary, NC

Family dentistry at Cary Dental Center provides services for improving your oral hygiene and tooth health and making you feel and look good.

We specialize in typically caring for a wide variety of patients, from young children to older adults. Dr.Qureshy and staff ensure that plaque buildup around the teeth is kept to a minimum, that tooth decay is eliminated and cavities are filled, and that gums remain healthy.

Family Dentistry Services

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit your family dentist for a checkup a minimum of two times each year. Such checkups provide routine or deep cleanings to eliminate plaque buildup and prevent tooth decay. If necessary, we also provide fluoride treatments to help coat the teeth, a procedure also important in the prevention of tooth decay. Preventative dental checkups can help with the detection of oral health problems long before the onset of symptoms.

On some visits, radiographs are taken to help detect cavities and other tooth and jaw problems. If a cavity is detected during a checkup, we can provide treatment with a dental filling before it develops into a more serious problem that may require a crown, dental implant, root canal, or other restorative procedure.

Family and Cosmetic Dentistry

Although family dentists are typically associated with preventative and restorative dentistry, we pursue additional training in order to provide cosmetic dentistry services such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.

Family and cosmetic dentists have more training than typical family dentists, though we occasionally refer some people to other dentists if specialized treatments are required. Specialists may include orthodontists (for teeth straightening), endodontists (for more complex molar root canal treatments), prosthodontists (for more complex crowns or for dental implants) and maxillofacial surgeons (for oral surgery). For very young children (ages four and younger), we may recommend a pediatric dentist, who has knowledge and training related to young children and early tooth health.
