General Dentistry – Comprehensive Care for Healthy Smiles
A healthy smile starts with the right foundation, and that foundation is general dentistry. At AmeriDental, we combine modern technology with a personal touch to make every visit comfortable and effective.
Our offices in North Brunswick and Hillsborough, NJ, offer preventive and restorative care to keep your smile strong and healthy for years to come.
About Our General Dentistry Services
General dentistry covers the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of common oral conditions. It serves as the foundation for lifelong dental health. At AmeriDental, we help patients prevent decay and detect problems early before they become complex or costly.
Our General Dentistry Services Include:
- Exams and Oral Cancer Screenings
Our dental exams go beyond routine cleanings. We assess your teeth, gums, bite alignment, and soft tissues while screening for oral cancer to detect concerns early and protect your overall health.
- Professional Cleanings and Fluoride Treatments
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot reach. We use gentle techniques and fluoride applications to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings for Cavities
Instead of traditional metal fillings, AmeriDental uses advanced composite materials that match the color of your natural teeth. These fillings restore function and aesthetics without compromising durability.
- Custom Nightguards for Bruxism and TMJ
If you grind your teeth or experience jaw discomfort, our custom-fitted nightguards protect your teeth from damage and ease tension in the jaw joints, helping you rest comfortably and wake without pain.
- Digital X-Rays and Diagnostic Imaging
We utilize low-radiation digital X-rays and high-resolution imaging to quickly and accurately identify dental issues. This technology allows us to plan treatments precisely and monitor your oral health over time.
- Patient Education and Personalized Treatment Planning
Every patient receives a customized care plan tailored to their specific goals and dental needs. Our team explains every step clearly so you understand your options and feel confident about your treatment.

Why Preventive Dentistry Matters
- Early Detection: Identifies cavities, gum disease, and other issues before they worsen.
- Preserves Teeth: Routine care minimizes the need for extractions or root canals.
- Cost Savings: Preventive care is far more affordable than emergency treatment.
- Whole-Body Health: Links between oral health and conditions like diabetes and heart disease continue to grow.
General dentistry is your partner in maintaining a healthy smile for life.
