Your general dentist in Las Vegas provides the wide range of services you need to achieve and maintain a healthy and beautiful smile. 

What Does General Dentistry Include?

General dentistry includes preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. Your general dentist also provides emergency dental services if you or a loved one has a tooth emergency. 

Dr. Tsang has also completed advanced training in implant dentistry, allowing him to provide comprehensive implant services, including surgical placement and restoration. This means that you can complete your dental implant from start to finish with the dental team you already know and trust. 

Here are a few of the dental services you'll find at Russell Dental:

  • Preventive teeth cleanings and exams
  • Periodontal (gum) treatment
  • Cosmetic dentistry
  • Professional teeth whitening
  • Tooth-colored fillings
  • Dental crowns and bridges
  • Tooth implants
  • Clear aligner therapy - invisible braces
  • Root canal treatment
  • Tooth extraction

A Focus on Prevention

Your general dentist also focuses on preventive teeth cleanings and checkups because they allow us to detect dental concerns in their earliest stages when they're more manageable and less costly to treat.

For example, when Dr. Tsang catches gum disease in its early stage (gingivitis), you may have the opportunity to reverse the condition with a thorough professional teeth cleaning and improvements to your home care routine. However, if gum disease goes undetected or is allowed to progress, it becomes a condition called periodontitis. Periodontitis requires deeper cleanings that reach below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar, which is more invasive. Severe cases of periodontitis may also require antibiotic therapy and sometimes even gum surgery. 

If you don't successfully manage periodontitis, it will eventually result in tooth loss. However, preventive dental care can save you time, money, and stress in the long run, and that's why it's the cornerstone of our dental practice at Russell Dental.
