General Dentistry

A healthy foundation.

Cleanings, fillings, crowns — the quiet, essential care that keeps every smile sound, done with the precision of a cosmetic case.

Beautiful work starts with healthy teeth. Everything here protects the foundation — so the smile on top can last.

What is general dentistry?

The everyday care behind a healthy smile.

General dentistry is the routine, preventive, and restorative care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy year after year — cleanings and exams (checkups) to catch problems early, and fillings and crowns (tooth-shaped caps) to repair them when something goes wrong. It’s the foundation every other treatment is built on, provided with honest guidance by Dr. Bradley, a UCLA-trained dentist.

The care

What we look after.

Cleanings & Prevention

Gentle, thorough cleanings and exams that catch the small things early — the easiest care to keep up with.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Decay removed and rebuilt with composite matched to your enamel — strong, sealed, and invisible.

Crowns & Restorations

When a tooth needs more, custom crowns and restorations bring back full strength — shaped to fit right in.

When to come in

Signs it’s time for a visit.

It’s been over six months

More than six months have passed since your last cleaning or checkup.

A tooth hurts or feels sensitive

Aching, sensitivity to hot or cold, or discomfort when you bite down — none of it should be ignored.

A chip, crack, or rough edge

A tooth has chipped or cracked, or you feel a rough spot or sharp edge with your tongue.

Bleeding or tender gums

Your gums bleed when you brush or floss — an early sign of gum trouble worth catching now.

You need a dental home

You’re looking for a steady place to care for your own teeth or your whole family’s.

The path

How we keep you well.

01

Exam

A careful look at every tooth and the tissue around it, so nothing is missed and nothing is rushed.

02

Care Plan

We walk through exactly what's needed and what can wait — priced and paced around you.

03

Maintain

Regular visits keep small issues small — the simplest way to protect everything we've built.

From worn to restored.

“My oral health has improved a lot with Dr. Bradley. He listens to my concerns and explains exactly what he’s doing and why — he even shows me the X-rays. He handles my cleanings and put on my adult braces himself, and the whole team is stellar.”

Common questions

General dentistry questions, answered.

How often should I come in?

Most people do well with an exam and professional cleaning every six months. If you’re managing gum disease or a condition like diabetes, we may suggest coming in a little more often — we’ll recommend the right schedule for you.

Do you see children and the whole family?

Yes. We care for patients of every age, from a child’s first checkup to lifelong adult care, so your whole family can be seen in one familiar place.

What’s the difference between a cleaning and an exam?

The exam is the diagnostic part of your visit — we evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and tissues and review any X-rays. The cleaning removes the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing leave behind, then polishes your teeth.

Is general dental care affordable?

We accept most major dental insurance and offer monthly payment plans, so routine care fits your budget. We’ll review every option with you at your appointment — no surprises.
