General Dentistry

Complete Dental Care for the Whole Family

General dentistry forms the foundation of excellent oral health. Our practice offers a full range of services designed to prevent problems before they start and address issues quickly when they arise. Dr. Lewis brings years of experience and advanced training to every appointment, ensuring you receive top-quality care in a comfortable setting.

Preventive Services That Protect Your Smile

Prevention remains the best strategy for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our team provides:

Professional Cleanings: Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing miss, keeping your smile bright and your gums healthy.
Comprehensive Exams: Thorough evaluations catch potential problems early when they’re easiest and most affordable.
Digital X-Rays: Advanced imaging technology helps us see what’s happening beneath the surface with minimal radiation exposure.
Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection saves lives, so we check for warning signs at every visit.
Fluoride Treatments: Strengthen tooth enamel and fight cavities with targeted fluoride applications.

Restorative Treatments When You Need Them

Even with excellent preventive care, dental issues sometimes happen. Our general dentistry in Brea includes restorative treatments that repair damage and restore function to your smile. Dr. J. Dennis Lewis uses modern techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your restorations look natural and last for years.

Cavities affect most people at some point in their lives. We offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, so no one notices you’ve had dental work done. These composite fillings bond directly to tooth structure, providing strong, durable repairs that maintain the integrity of your teeth.

When decay becomes more extensive, crowns protect and support your tooth needs. We create custom crowns that match your natural teeth in appearance and function, giving you confidence in your restored smile.

Gum Disease Treatment and Prevention

Your gums play a critical role in your overall oral health. Gum disease affects millions of Americans, yet many don’t realize they have it until symptoms become serious. Our team monitors gum health at every appointment and provides treatments ranging from deep cleanings to more advanced periodontal therapy when necessary.

Catching gum disease early makes treatment simpler and more effective. Warning signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gum lines, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment right away.

Modern Technology Meets Compassionate Care

We invest in the latest dental technology because it helps us provide better care for our patients. Digital imaging, intraoral cameras, and other advanced tools allow Dr. Lewis to diagnose problems accurately and plan treatments precisely. These technologies also help us show you exactly what’s happening in your mouth, so you understand your treatment options and can make informed decisions about your care.

But technology only goes so far. The real difference comes from our compassionate, patient-centered approach to every appointment. We listen to your concerns, answer your questions thoroughly, and work with you to develop treatment plans that fit your needs and budget.

Building Healthy Habits That Last

Education forms a key part of our general dentistry. We teach patients of all ages how to care for their teeth and gums at home. From proper brushing and flossing techniques to nutrition advice supporting oral health, we give you the tools and knowledge to maintain your smile between visits.

Early dental education benefits children especially. We create positive experiences that help young patients develop good habits and feel comfortable visiting the dentist. Many of our patients have been coming to our practice for years, and we love watching families grow and helping multiple generations maintain healthy smiles.
