Anderson General Dentistry Associates, P.C.
 Anderson General Dentistry offers routine preventive and oral hygiene services for all ages. The most important step of preventive care is detection at an early stage. This can help you avoid costly and painful tooth problems.
Conditions such as tooth decay and gum disease (periodontal disease) are mainly caused by the buildup of debris on the teeth and are major causes of tooth loss in adulthood. Routine dental checkups aid in the early discovery of these conditions allowing us to treat them before they get out of hand.
Our preventive services include:
- Cleaning or hygiene
- Dental sealants
- Regular check-ups
- Patient education
...to help keep your smile looking good and feeling good!
Bring Your Whole Family
Our office provides preventive care for the entire family. Dr. Steve Hammes, D.M.D and Dr. Robert Herring, D.M.D are committed to giving you and your family everything you need to maintain healthy teeth and gums by encouraging good dental habits.
Good oral health practices should begin in infancy and continue throughout the adult life. We believe in providing this care to your children in their early years. We will work with you to help you and your family understand the importance of good dental health, so they can grow up cavity free and keep their teeth all their lives.
Unfortunately, the occasion does happen that a tooth breaks, fractures, or has a cavity that has been left untreated. This can be extremely painful. Emergency dentistry is treatment that is meant to relieve pain and suffering. In some instances, a tooth is unrestorable and needs to be extracted. In other cases, the tooth can be restored and a root canal would be an efficient treatment.
Our office is prepared to render both extractions and root canals to alleviate dental pain.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy or endodontic treatment consists of the removal of inflamed or infected pulp tissue (dental nerve) and the cleansing and sealing of the internal tooth structure. Root canal treatment may be necessary in cases where there is advanced decay, trauma to the tooth, periodontal disease, bruxism (teeth grinding) or cracked teeth.
Ongoing care
You've heard since childhood that you should visit your dentist once every six months. Even if your teeth "feel" healthy, it's smart to keep that appointment. Things change as we age, and it's much better (and less costly) to find a small crack and repair it today, than to wait until the tooth breaks and a crown is needed. Semi-annual cleanings and exams are the best investment you can make toward preserving your smile and oral health.
Cosmetic care
A beautiful smiles says a lot about you. It projects condidence, pride and good health. We provide a full range of cosmetic services to keep your smile gleaming. Professional teeth whitening, at-home bleaching, tooth colored fillings, teeth realignment, crowns, bridges and implants are all available at your local Dental Care Center office.
Implants, Bridges, Crowns, Surgery. Our dental team includes doctors with expertise in crowns, bridges and implants. So, to ensure the utmost in quality care, you may see a different doctor on our staff when specialized procedures are needed. Nearly all procedures are performed in our offices. We will, however, schedule a visit at another office when it's in your best interest.
Emergencies
We understand that when you have a toothache you need assistance. When someone comes into our office with a serious problem, we try to take them in immedaitely, control the pain, diagnose the situation, and then recommend treatment. It if's an emergency to YOU, it's an emergency to US.
