Our General Dentistry Services

Your oral health goals are as unique as your smile, and we’ve designed our services to meet all your needs. Here’s a glimpse of what we offer under general dentistry at Donna Peterson DDS in Stockton:

1. Routine Dental Exams and Cleanings  

Prevention is the key to good oral health! Routine exams and professional cleanings allow us to catch potential issues early and keep plaque and tartar at bay. During your visit, we thoroughly check your teeth for cavities, evaluate your gums for signs of disease, and give you that fresh, clean feeling only a professional cleaning can achieve.

2. X-Rays and Advanced Diagnostics  

Sometimes, it’s what we can’t see with the naked eye that matters most. Our office uses state-of-the-art imaging technology, like digital X-rays, to get a deeper look at the structure of your teeth and roots. This helps us diagnose hidden issues, from cavities lurking between teeth to structural problems that could compromise your oral health.

3. Fillings for Cavities  

Got a cavity? No problem! We use high-quality, tooth-colored materials to restore your teeth. Not only do these fillings blend seamlessly with your smile, but they also ensure your tooth remains strong and functional for years to come.

4. Gum Care and Prevention of Gum Disease  

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. We’re here to treat your gums with the care they deserve by preventing and addressing periodontal (gum) disease. Whether it’s deep cleanings or simple advice on improving your at-home hygiene routine, we’ll help you keep your gums healthy and pain-free.

5. Emergency Dentistry  

Life happens—and sometimes it happens to your teeth! Whether you chipped a tooth on a popcorn kernel or woke up with a toothache, we’re here to provide prompt, compassionate care when you need it most.

6. Custom Mouthguards  

Protecting your teeth is always a good idea! Whether you or your child plays sports or you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), we create custom mouthguards that are comfortable, durable, and, most importantly, made to keep your teeth safe.

7. Patient Education  

Knowledge is power, and educating our patients is a key part of exceptional dental care. From teaching you how to improve your brushing techniques to discussing the role of diet in oral health, we’re committed to empowering you to maintain your smile every day.
