General & Restorative

A general check-up at Arete involves a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues. We screen for oral cancer, check jaw joint function, and take low-dose digital x-rays if needed to detect decay between teeth. It is a thorough health audit for your mouth.

For most patients, a professional clean every 6 months is recommended to remove plaque and tartar build-up that brushing misses. If you have a history of gum disease or higher risk factors, we may suggest visiting every 3 to 4 months for optimal maintenance.

A filling repairs a small area of decay or damage, restoring the tooth directly. A crown (or cap) covers the entire tooth and is used when a tooth is heavily broken, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing essential structural support that a filling cannot offer.

A chipped tooth can often be repaired simply with composite bonding in a single visit. For larger chips or fractures, a porcelain veneer or crown might be necessary for long-term strength. We will assess the damage and recommend the most conservative, durable option.
