What Is General Dentistry?
Similar to a primary care provider, a general dentist is the main dental care provider for patients of all ages. At Avita Dental Associates, our dentists care for your overall oral health and diagnose, treat, and manage the services needed to meet your dental needs at our Bourne and Sandwich locations.
We work to build long-term, trust-based relationships by getting to know your lifestyle, oral health history, and goals. Your Avita dental team will create and oversee a personalized treatment plan designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
General dentists address a wide range of concerns, including gum disease, tooth decay, root canal needs, and missing teeth. They may also provide cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, and tooth-colored restorations.
Seeing a general dentist regularly helps you maintain good oral health and allows potential problems to be identified before they become more serious.
Most patients should schedule a checkup and cleaning at least twice a year. Your Avita dental provider will recommend additional visits or treatment based on your individual needs.
Cavities develop when tooth decay damages the enamel. Regular checkups help identify decay in its earliest stages so it can be treated before it progresses.
