What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry involves caring for oral health, preventing oral health conditions and diseases. At Family Dental Wellness, we use preventative care and patient education to promote a healthy smile for patients across Bradford, PA; Warren, PA; McKean, PA; Ellicottville, NY; Salamanca, NY; Olean, NY; Allegheny, NY; Chautauqua, NY; Cattaraugus, NY; and Orleans, NY. Our family dentists are also responsible for diagnosing conditions that affect the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaws, as well as developing the most effective treatment plan with the patient’s best interests in mind. 


General dentists must take national and state certification exams to achieve licensure for providing complete examinations, cleanings, root canals, restorations, extractions and tooth prosthetics. At Family Dental Wellness, our general dentists and team of hygienists and technicians focus on preventative care. We recommend visiting our office twice a year for a cleaning and exam so that we can provide the best dental services. Routine exams will help us identify possible oral problems and health conditions.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a patient’s smile. Whether you’re missing teeth or have damaged and stained teeth, our cosmetic dentistry procedures will help you have a beautiful smile that you can be proud to show. When you schedule a cosmetic dentistry appointment at our office, Dr. Schneider will oversee and perform all of your procedures himself, at your convenience, with state-of-the-art equipment.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments: 
  • Composite Bonding – replaces broken and cracked teeth.
  • Dental Veneers – bonds to existing teeth to cover gaps.
  • Inlays or Onlays – fillings that cover decay or damage.
  • Teeth Whitening – removes stains and discoloration.
Please continue reading for more information on these cosmetic dentistry treatments.

Veneers & Laminates
Veneers and laminates are a common way to improve the look and position or your smile. Bonded to your existing teeth, veneers and laminates are considered conservative cosmetic treatments because of their strength. Little to no tooth is removed during the placement process.

Dental Implants
Losing one or more teeth can result in shifting teeth. Dental implants have taken the place of bridges as a desirable alternative. This procedure gives patients the look of natural teeth and prevents shifting. At times, complications may necessitate this procedure or may require further action such as dentures or dental implants. Dental implants can even support dentures to make them more stable. Here are just a few benefits of dental implants:

• They look better. • They are more stable. • They support dentures.
• They preserve your natural tooth structure.

Ultimately, if dental implants are right for you, this is a low-maintenance option that has an aesthetically pleasing result. At Family Dental Wellness, we can help you decide if dental implants are right for you by performing an x-ray and CT scan.

Mini Implants
While full dentures may slide across the gums and become loose over time, mini implants offer a stable solution. A small post is anchored in the jaw bone to provide a foundation for your dentures. This procedure involves a single, simple operation that results in continued comfort and stability for the denture wearer. Recently, mini implants have become one of the most popular services in the industry because of their efficacy.

At Family Dental Wellness, our trained dentists can complete this procedure in a couple of hours. Following the procedure, you will require minimal recovery time, and your dentures will be modified to fit your mini implants. Often, our patients leave the office with their original dentures secure and ready to wear that day. Find out if you qualify for mini implants by contacting our knowledgeable and qualified dentists today.

Root Canals
In circumstances where your tooth’s pulp space is exposed, you may suffer from an infection that requires immediate assistance. Root canals are the best way to ensure that dead, infected tissue is removed and the area is sealed. While many people fear root canals, they fail to take into consideration the advances in the dental industry. Patients undergoing root canals these days will be able to take advantage of the more comfortable, quick treatments we can perform with advanced techniques. Contact our office for more information about how we perform root canals.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are the most natural solution for cavities. While other fillings may take multiple appointments to complete, tooth-colored fillings can take just one single visit to complete. But there are plenty of other reasons to choose them:

• Durable • Natural looking • Compatible with sealants • Able to bond to tooth structures

Dental Sealants
Often used when a patient is younger or decay has begun, dental sealants are placed in the grooves of molars to prevent future decay. As one of the most effective methods of preventing decay, we often recommend that patients take advantage of them. Dental sealants are especially effective for patients with deep grooves in their molars that can’t be reached with a toothbrush. Schedule an appointment with our office today, or call us for more information.

Periodontic Care
Periodontists are required to complete three additional years of training to ensure patients receive the highest level of care. Periodontics focuses on the health of tooth structures and involves preventing and treating gum disease. At Family Dental Wellness, we are able to diagnose and treat tooth structure issues with procedures like crown lengthening and gum grafting.

Routine Oral Health Evaluations 
The best way to make sure that tooth problems are caught early is to have routine oral health evaluations. The team at Family Dental Wellness is equipped with years of experience and the most advanced tools to make sure that you’re in the best oral health. We can pinpoint any oral health diseases and make sure proper action is taken. Call us to schedule your oral health evaluation today.

Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy is a non-surgical or surgical procedure that helps to prevent and treat gum disease. Ranging from deep cleaning and the use of night guards to more advanced bone graft surgeries, periodontal therapy can assist with complex gum issues. Each and every patient suffering from gum disease will receive a treatment plan that is personalized to their needs.

Salivary Testing
Your saliva can tell us a lot about the state of your oral tissues. In certain situations, our office can perform salivary testing to diagnose certain dental problems and periodontal diseases. This advanced testing technique is just one of the many ways that Family Dental Wellness provides the utmost care for our patients.
