General & Family Dentistry

Preventive care is a critical aspect of our general and family dentistry services. At Egert-Kreider Dental, we view preventive care as a total program aimed at avoiding major problems and expensive procedures. Preventive care includes:

• Regular Periodontal Cleanings
• Proper Brushing & Flossing Techniques
• Proper Diet Counseling
• Teeth Whitening & Fluoride Treatments
• Electric Toothbrush Recommendations

At Egert-Kreider Dental, we want to get the complete picture. Oral Examinations allow us to examine the teeth, gums, as well as the functioning of the jaw. We recommend an appointment every six months to check for signs of tooth decay and remove dental plaque that you may have missed. Terry W. Egert, DDS and Chandra L. Kreider, DMD also provides:

Sealants & Fillings

Fillings are used to restore teeth to their normal shape, appearance and function by filling in cavities caused by tooth decay. Sealants fill in the natural pits and fissures in the back molars, where dental decay occurs most often.

Crowns & Bridges

A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth in order to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. A dental bridge is usually made using two crowns and bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Root Canals

A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it.

Tooth Extractions

The most common tooth extractions are usually wisdom tooth extractions, but a tooth may also need to be removed if it’s coming in at an angle, threatening the position of other healthy teeth or contributing to overcrowding in the mouth.
