Great oral health begins with finding a dentist you can trust. Here at Southern Dental Associates at Willowbrook, we offer general dentistry to families in the greater Willowbrook area to help them achieve beautiful, healthy smiles. Whether you need preventive or restorative care, our friendly and family-friendly team is here for you and your entire family.

What is General Dentistry?

A general dentist is the primary dental care provider for your entire family. At Southern Dental Associates, our highly-trained staff is here to diagnose, treat and manage the overall dental health of your family. From checkups to preventive treatments, we offer a variety of dental procedures to help you and your children enjoy healthy smiles for years to come. Here are some of the services we provide:

Regular Checkups

Our dentist recommends a complete checkup for you and your children every six months. During your checkup, our team will assess your family’s overall dental health and recommend any treatments or preventive care as needed. We will also instruct your children on good oral hygiene to help them brush and floss with confidence.

Depending on your needs, we may also recommend X-rays to assess the health of your teeth below the gum line. Finish with a professional cleaning twice a year to keep your smile healthy and bright!

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Even if great at-home care and regular checkups, cavities can still happen. If you or your child have a cavity, come see our friendly dental team. We offer tooth-colored fillings to restore your teeth without the need for silver, gold, or other metals. Tooth-colored fillings are completely safe for children over the age of six.

Crowns and Bridges

If you need to repair or replace a tooth, Southern Dental Associates has you covered. We offer high-quality dental crowns and bridges as part of our restorative dentistry services. Crowns are used to protect weakened teeth, repair worn or broken teeth, or restore teeth following root canal treatment. For patients missing one or more teeth, we may recommend a bridge. A bridge can replace your missing teeth and restore the strength and alignment of your bite.

Night Guards

For patients who suffer from nighttime bruxism, we offer night guards. Our custom-made night guards can reduce the effects of grinding or clenching on your teeth and alleviate the pain associated with bruxism.

Sealants

If you want additional help to keep your or your child’s teeth free from cavities, our dentist recommends dental sealants. Sealants are thin protective coatings applied in just one appointment. Once applied, sealants will coat the chewing surfaces of your or your child’s back teeth and protect them from cavity-causing bacteria.
