At Highlands Ranch Smiles, our three dentists see general dentistry as the foundation for your family’s dental health. So we don’t scrimp on preventive treatments and other general dentistry in Colorado!
Dr. Haynes on General Dentistry
Read Transcript So, being a general dentist ... I actually when I was in dental school I thought I wanted to specialize in pediatric dentistry. I love kids but the more training that I had just in school I realized I loved the variety of general dentistry and I love being able to do lots of different things and provide lots of different solutions. So, I knew that was what I wanted to do and being out, there's so much different continuing education out there, so it keeps life exciting for me. Always adding new services, learning better ways to do things instead of just doing one simple thing. It allows us to see so many different types of patients since general dentistry is going to cover pretty much every type of dentistry, so I think it's fantastic.
For example, we use dental sealants on both primary and permanent teeth to prevent cavities. While they are often used for children’s teeth, we think they’re a great way to halt dental decay in adults too.
Find out why an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, at least in dentistry. Call Highlands Ranch Smiles for general dentistry in Colorado at 720-644-8186.
