Take A Proactive Approach To Your Dental Care

Junction Creek Family Dentistry offers all the general dental services you and your family need to maintain healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime, such as:

  • Dental Cleanings and Exams – Along with daily brushing and flossing, you need to have your teeth professionally cleaned about every six months. We will remove any plaque that has built up on your teeth with an ultrasonic scaler and examine your mouth for tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
  • Oral Cancer Screenings – Dr. Hening performs quick and painless oral cancer screenings, where he looks for any changes to the lining tissues inside your mouth, lips, and tongue. Early detection is critical in successfully overcoming oral cancer, which is another reason your routine visits are so important to your overall health.
  • Fluoride Applications and Dental Sealants – After your teeth are cleaned, we can apply fluoride varnish or treatment. This will strengthen and protect your enamel from harmful bacteria and acids. Dental sealants can be painlessly applied to any teeth that are particularly vulnerable to decay and cavities, such as back molars, as an added barrier against bacteria.
  • Gum Disease Treatment – We’re committed to patient education and will talk to you about the oral-systemic connection between gum disease and your overall health. If you have periodontal infection, we will apply a topical anesthetic to make your ultrasonic deep cleaning, called scaling and root planing, more comfortable. If you need follow-up therapy, we will perform antimicrobial pocket treatment to remove bacteria deep below the gumline.
  • Custom Mouthguards – We create custom mouthguards right here in our office to treat TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. We can also create retainers and personalized bleaching trays for teeth whitening treatment. To alleviate symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, we take precise measurements of your mouth and send them to an outside lab that will create a custom night guard for you to wear while you sleep.
  • Dry Mouth and Bad Breath Treatments – If you’re struggling with chronic dry mouth or bad breath, Dr. Hening can help you figure out the possible causes and discuss ways to prevent and treat these conditions most effectively. He can even prescribe a high-strength fluoride treatment for dry mouth that remineralizes your tooth enamel and eases root sensitivity.

Keep your smile healthy for life with our Durango general dentistry. Call 970-507-8391 or contact us online to request an appointment.

Great screening for COVID-19. Andrew is a great technician. He takes the time to explain and show me where I improved from the last visit after I followed his advice on homecare. I felt safe with all of their Coronavirus precautions.

Common Questions About General Dentistry

What does general dentistry include?

General dentistry is made up of several types of treatments that are designed to help you maintain a healthy mouth and bright smile. Services include dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive care such as fluoride treatments and tooth sealants, oral cancer screenings, custom-fit mouthguards for TMJ and teeth grinding, dry mouth treatment, and bad breath treatment.

What does a general dentist do?

It is important to visit a general dentist like Dr. Hening for regular dental cleanings and exams, when he and our team can keep an eye on your oral health. Seeing us twice a year for routine cleanings allows us to catch and treat small oral problems before they become big dental nightmares. With regular visits, cavities and gum disease won’t have a chance to take hold in your mouth and cause long-term damage to your smile.

Who can benefit from general dentistry?

Your whole family will maintain great smiles with dental care from Dr. John Hening and our team. We offer dental exams and cleanings for your older kids as well as yourself. Tooth sealants and fluoride treatment work great for all ages for helping prevent cavities. Plus, if you grind your teeth or suffer from TMJ pain, one of our custom mouthguards will help.
