Chapel Hill General Family and Pediatric Dentist
We are a Chapel Hill General Family and Pediatric Dentist providing a wide array of dental services but at our core we are a family practice. We offer a wide array of dental services including Preventative Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry Services. Our goal is to provide comprehensive dental care. The foundation of this care begins with regular dental hygiene visits. Regular visits allow us to diagnose problems early and take care of them before becoming a bigger issue and potentially more expensive. We spend time with our patients educating them about dentistry in general and related specifically to their needs.
Ideally, dentistry is preventative. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit your dentist regularly, at least once every six months, to ensure proper oral hygiene and functionality. Regular checkups and oral health maintenance prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment. An example of this is our Oral Cancer Screening which identifies oral cancer early, helping our patients take action to combat this serious health concern. If you remain vigilant and visit your dentist regularly, you can enjoy exceptional dental health.
Dr. Bishop will work with you to develop a customized dental hygiene plan that incorporates dental examination, tooth cleaning, possible tooth scaling, digital X-ray and use of other diagnostic equipment to prevent, uncover or treat problems as early as possible.
Dr. Bishop may incorporate a variety of restorative procedures in the development of a comprehensive treatment plan that will help prevent decay or disease of the teeth, mouth, gums and tongue. Dr. Bishop also uses restorative dentistry procedures to repair the effects of tooth decay, trauma, defect or disease in these areas of the mouth.
As problems are diagnosed our comprehensive restorative techniques allow us to offer the patient different options to achieve a long term solution. For more information on these restorative techniques, please visit the links above.
