As you consider what the terms general or family dentist mean, you may be wondering how this differs from other dental health professionals. You may also wonder whether you need to see a general or family dentist regularly. At Svans Dentistry, we want to make sure you understand the answers to these questions and that you thoroughly understand the importance of general dentistry to your long-term health.

General Dentistry: What Is It?

General or family dentistry refers to comprehensive dental care that is similar to the care you receive from your primary healthcare provider. As your general dentist, Dr. Erik Svans is responsible for providing both preventive and restorative care for patients of all ages — from young children to seniors.

With over twenty years of experience, Dr. Svans is prepared to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide variety of oral health conditions. From routine cleanings and fillings to more advanced treatments like Dental Implants for missing teeth, our goal is to protect, restore, and maintain your smile for life.

Our Process

At Svans Dentistry we prioritize building long-term relationships with our patients. We take the time to learn about your dental history and understand your goals for lifelong oral health. Once we have a clear picture of your needs, we create a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you. Your plan may include preventive care, restorative treatments, or specialized services such as Periodontics if you are experiencing gum disease or require advanced gum care. Our focus is always on prevention first, early diagnosis second, and conservative treatment whenever possible.
