General Dentistry Services

General dentistry encompasses an array of dental services and care because it consists of many services that are important to your oral health but aren’t necessarily a specialized field.

Some of the general dental services we offer include:

Regular Exams and Teeth Cleanings

Dental exams and teeth cleaning from your Appleton, WI dentist usually take under an hour. Dr. Siegrist will examine your overall oral health while looking for dental issues like cavities and gum disease. Dental x-rays allow for a peek inside of your teeth to get a better look at them. After your examination and any necessary x-rays or other procedures, a dental hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar built up on them.



Oral Cancer Screening

Over 30,000 American adults suffer from oral cancer each year, according to The National Institutes of Health. The good news is that early diagnosis of oral cancer can help save your life. Dr. Siegrist will also conduct an oral cancer screening during your dental checkup.

Periodontal (Gum) Disease

If your gums are puffy or bleed when you floss or brush, or you have a family history of periodontal disease, it's time to make an appointment with your dentist in Appleton, WI. During your exam, Dr. Siegrist will check your gums for signs of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease can wreak havoc on your oral health. In your mouth, it can erode your jawbone, destroy your gums, and lead to tooth loss. If signs of gum disease are present, Dr. Siegrist will recommend the appropriate treatment.
