What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. A general dentist serves as your primary provider for diagnosing, treating, and managing the full scope of your dental needs – from early cavity detection to full smile restoration. Our Summit dentist delivers comprehensive dental care for children, teens, adults, and seniors.
Dr. Butensky’s extensive training and approachable manner make him an ideal partner in your dental health journey. While certain surgical procedures may require a referral to a specialist, our in-house services include:
- Preventive professional cleanings and oral exams
- Tooth-colored composite fillings and dental crowns
- Gum disease prevention and treatment
- Cosmetic enhancements like teeth whitening and Invisalign®
- Dentures, dental bridges, and other restorative solutions
- Prompt support for dental emergencies
With a focus on patient comfort, we ensure every visit is efficient, friendly, and tailored to your unique needs.
Composite Fillings with a Natural Look
For patients with cavities or minor cracks, composite resin fillings offer a safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing option. These fillings are mercury-free and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.
Unlike traditional amalgam, composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure and are less sensitive to temperature changes. They’re a smart solution for restoring your teeth with long-term durability and exceptional care.
Dental Crowns: Strength and Aesthetics in One
Sometimes a filling isn’t enough, especially if you have a fractured tooth, severe decay, or have undergone a root canal. In these cases, a dental crown restores full function and appearance. Dental crowns are custom-made to match the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth, giving you a natural appearance that supports long-term function.
Whether crafted from porcelain, composite resin, or other durable materials, crowns are a common solution for patients who need more comprehensive restoration. Many cases can be completed in just two visits, and with proper care, a permanent crown can last 10–15 years or more.
Tooth Extractions with Compassionate Care
If a tooth is beyond repair, our team offers pain-free, gentle tooth extractions with your comfort top of mind. We use local anesthesia and may offer nitrous oxide sedation when needed. For complex cases, we may refer you to a trusted oral surgery specialist to ensure the best outcome.
Our conservative approach means we only extract when absolutely necessary – and we’ll guide you through your options for tooth replacement, including dental implants and bridges, if appropriate.
