Formerly Henwood Family Dentistry

General Dentist in San Antonio

Routine general dentistry lays the foundation for a healthy, functional smile. While cosmetic treatments can further enhance aesthetics, regular preventive general dentistry is essential for protecting your oral health over the long term. Skipping regular dental visits and check-ups can allow issues like cavities, infections, and gum disease to develop, leading to more complex and costly treatments down the road.

At Pristine Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in San Antonio, TX, our experienced dentists provide a full range of general dental services to keep your smile in optimal health and shape. We encourage all our patients to maintain regular 6-month check-ups and cleanings with our dental office here in San Antonio to catch any problems early and avoid extensive dental work. Preventive care is the key to a healthy and confident smile.

What Is General Dentistry? 

General dentistry focuses on the maintenance and overall health of the teeth and gums through preventive care and treatment of issues like tooth decay and gum disease. This includes services like routine cleanings, fillings, extractions, exams, and X-rays. General dentists can also perform restorations like crowns or bridges and tooth replacements like dentures and implants when needed. Regular visits allow early detection and treatment of problems before they worsen.
