General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common oral health issues. It includes routine services such as cleanings, fillings, and exams to maintain overall dental health. General dentists address a wide range of concerns, from cavities and gum disease to oral hygiene education, ensuring comprehensive care for patients of all ages. General dentistry is dedicated to delivering personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to oral health that promotes long-term wellness and a beautiful smile.
Routine services include preventive care such as dental cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments, which are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. General dentists perform restorative procedures like fillings, crowns, and bridges to repair damaged or decayed teeth, as well as conduct root canals to address issues with tooth pulp.
Regular visits to the dentist offer numerous benefits for maintaining optimal oral health. They help in early detection of issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, allowing for prompt treatment and prevention of more serious conditions.
Dental sealants are a smart, proactive investment in your oral health — offering durable protection against cavities while preserving the natural integrity of your teeth for years to come.
Dental sealants are typically made from a safe, tooth-colored resin material or glass ionomer cement. They are applied as a liquid that quickly hardens to form a durable protective layer over the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. The materials used are completely safe and have been approved by dental health organizations worldwide.
Dental sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teenagers, as their newly erupted permanent molars and premolars are most vulnerable to decay. However, adults who do not have fillings or significant decay in their back teeth can also benefit greatly from sealants. At Studio Dentistico Genova, we assess each patient individually to determine if sealants are the right preventive option for them.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental sealants can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. During your routine visits, our dental team at Studio Dentistico Genova will check the condition of your sealants and reapply them if necessary to ensure continuous protection against cavities and decay.
Not at all. The process of applying dental sealants is completely painless and non-invasive. There is no drilling or removal of tooth structure involved. The tooth is simply cleaned, prepared with a mild conditioning solution, and then the sealant is painted on and hardened using a special curing light. The entire procedure typically takes only a few minutes per tooth.
Coverage for dental sealants varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. Many insurance companies cover sealants for children up to a certain age as part of preventive care benefits. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to verify your coverage. Our team at Studio Dentistico Genova is also happy to assist you in understanding your benefits and exploring available payment options.
