Your dental health forms the foundation of your overall well-being, yet many adults neglect routine dental care until problems develop. Regular visits to a trusted general dentist prevent painful conditions, costly treatments, and serious health complications down the line.

At Kabani Dental in Marietta, Georgia, we provide comprehensive general dentistry services for patients of all ages using advanced digital technology and a preventive care approach.

From routine cleanings and exams to restorative treatments and emergency care, we serve families throughout East Cobb, Vinings, Smyrna, and Sandy Springs with exceptional general dentistry.

Preventive Dental Care Services

Comprehensive Dental Examinations

Preventive care begins with thorough dental examinations. During your visit, Dr. Kabani performs a complete evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and oral tissues using advanced diagnostic technology including digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3D CBCT imaging when needed. These examinations allow us to detect cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, TMJ disorders, and other conditions in their earliest stages when treatment is simplest and most effective. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular preventive dental visits help avoid the $45 billion in lost productivity caused by untreated dental disease each year.

Professional Dental Cleanings

Professional dental cleanings remove hardened plaque and tartar buildup your toothbrush cannot reach. Our skilled dental hygienists use gentle techniques and modern ultrasonic scalers to thoroughly clean your teeth above and below the gumline. Regular cleanings every six months prevent gum disease, reduce your risk of cavities, freshen your breath, and help detect oral health problems early. We polish your teeth to remove surface stains and apply fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection saves lives. During every examination, we perform thorough oral cancer screenings to check for abnormal tissues, lesions, or growths in your mouth, tongue, throat, and neck. We use advanced screening technology to identify potentially cancerous or precancerous conditions in their earliest, most treatable stages. Regular screenings are particularly important for patients who use tobacco products or consume alcohol regularly.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and significantly reduce cavity risk, particularly for children and patients prone to decay. We apply professional-grade fluoride varnish in just minutes during your regular cleaning appointment. This simple preventive treatment provides powerful protection against tooth decay and can reverse early signs of enamel demineralization.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants provide a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces of back teeth where cavities most commonly develop. This quick, painless procedure involves applying a thin plastic coating to the deep grooves and pits of molars, preventing food particles and bacteria from becoming trapped. Sealants are highly effective for children and teenagers, though adults with deep grooves can benefit as well.

Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies require immediate attention. We provide same-day emergency appointments for severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscessed teeth, and soft tissue injuries. Our digital technology and in-house capabilities allow us to diagnose problems quickly and provide immediate relief. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency in Marietta, contact us right away.

Advanced Digital Dentistry Technology

Kabani Dental delivers superior general dentistry through advanced digital technology. Our practice features digital X-rays with 90% less radiation exposure than traditional films, 3D CBCT imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, intraoral cameras to show you exactly what we see, CAD-CAM technology for same-day restorations, and digital impressions for comfortable, accurate molds.

FAQs About General Dentistry

How Often Should I Visit the Dentist for Checkups?

Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. These biannual visits allow your dentist to monitor your oral health, detect problems early, and remove plaque and tartar before they cause cavities or gum disease. However, some patients with gum disease, high cavity risk, or other oral health conditions may benefit from more frequent visits every three to four months. During your examination at Kabani Dental, Dr. Kabani will recommend the ideal checkup schedule based on your individual needs, oral health history, and risk factors.

What Happens During a Routine Dental Cleaning?

A routine dental cleaning at Kabani Dental typically takes 45-60 minutes and involves several steps. First, our dental hygienist examines your teeth and gums to assess their condition. Next, they use specialized instruments and ultrasonic scalers to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from tooth surfaces and below the gumline. After scaling, your teeth are polished with a gritty toothpaste to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel. We floss between all teeth to remove any remaining debris. Finally, we apply fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel. Dr. Kabani then performs a comprehensive examination to check for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns.

Does Dental Insurance Cover General Dentistry Services?

Most dental insurance plans provide excellent coverage for general dentistry services. Preventive care including exams, cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments are typically covered at 100% with no out-of-pocket cost when you visit an in-network dentist. Basic restorative procedures like fillings are usually covered at 70-80%, while major services such as crowns and root canals are typically covered at 50%. At Kabani Dental, we accept most major PPO plans including Delta Dental, Cigna, and MetLife. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment, maximizes your coverage, and files claims on your behalf. For patients without insurance, we offer an affordable in-house membership plan.

What’s the Difference Between General Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry?

General dentistry focuses primarily on preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral health conditions to maintain healthy teeth and gums. This includes cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, and extractions. Cosmetic dentistry emphasizes improving the aesthetic appearance of your smile through treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding. However, these categories often overlap—many procedures serve both functional and cosmetic purposes. For example, tooth-colored fillings restore decayed teeth while also matching your natural tooth color. At Kabani Dental, Dr. Kabani is trained in both general and cosmetic dentistry, allowing her to provide comprehensive care that addresses both health and aesthetics.

How Can I Prevent Cavities Between Dental Visits?

Preventing cavities requires consistent daily oral hygiene habits. Brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Floss at least once daily to remove plaque and food particles between teeth where your toothbrush cannot reach. Limit sugary and acidic foods and beverages, as these promote decay. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially fluoridated tap water. Avoid tobacco products, which increase cavity risk and gum disease. Chew sugar-free gum containing xylitol after meals when you cannot brush. Finally, maintain your regular six-month cleaning and examination schedule at Kabani Dental so we can monitor your oral health and provide professional fluoride treatments.
