Your Full Guide to Comprehensive Dentistry

Have you ever visited a dentist only to be referred to another because the one you went to wasn’t offering a part of the oral care treatments you required? Sadly, this is a common occurrence in dentistry. 

However, there is a simple way to avoid this merry-go-round. The solution is to visit a dentist that offers comprehensive dental care. 

Curious to know what it’s all about? Read on to find out our approach to comprehensive dentistry at Covington Signature Dentistry.

What Is Comprehensive Dentistry?

Comprehensive dentistry is based on the idea that your oral health isn’t just about teeth and gums. It also involves the soft tissue around your teeth, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and the muscles that facilitate chewing and movement of the jaw. 

The field aims to take care of all your oral concerns under one roof and ensure your overall health as well as your dental health.

At Covington Signature Dentistry, Dr. Peter Yeh, DDS is well-versed in providing a wide range of dental procedures. We offer the following comprehensive dentistry services:

• Restorative treatments like crowns, bridges, fillings, and root canals
• General dentistry treatments and procedures
• Cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and teeth cleaning
• Family dentistry for all the members of your family
• Emergency dental services
