General Dentist in Salem, OR

Without general dentistry in Salem, it would be impossible to keep a healthy smile for very long. General dental services form the cornerstone of good smile care, along with proper brushing and flossing at home. That’s why your dentist, Dr. Corey Bickler, emphasizes the need for routine dental care. Our treatment will help you:

  • Catch and treat oral problems while they’re still small
  • Keep your smile sparkling clean and healthy
  • Enjoy peace of mind about your oral health
  • Smile with confidence in your everyday life
  • Avoid potential dental emergencies that could derail your smile
  • Understand good oral hygiene basics through patient education

Call Bickler Dentistry today at 503-647-4645 to schedule an appointment. Military personnel and senior citizens will receive five percent off their treatment. We also offer a money-saving VIP Club. You’ll make low monthly payments to cover the cost of your exams and cleanings. Plus, you’ll receive discounts on other services like cosmetic and restorative treatments. Unlike insurance, there are no waiting periods or benefit limits. Give your smile the care it needs to look its best!

Doctor Corey Bickler Talks about General Dentistry

From the first appointment here, you’re brought in and we do about an hour and a half appointment where you’re gonna sit down with a hygienist. They’re gonna clean your teeth. They’re gonna kind of figure out where you’re at. You know, do we see you as being in great health or somewhere other than that? We’re gonna ask you questions about, you know, what do you do at home? What does your routine look like?

Over time, we’re gonna build in what our ideal routine is for you and explain why we do certain things versus others. I think we’ve got a pretty good idea of what we think an ideal routine is and ultimately we want our patients to be following that in some way because it really helps alleviate issues that we see down the road.

That routine is derived in hygiene and from your first appointment to your second appointment where you might do another cleaning or you might have some type of restorative procedure, that will always be a consistent thing for patients to expect. In time, I think we’ve learned from patients that that really is a good way of doing things.

Look & Feel Your Best With General Dental Services

General dental care goes a long way toward keeping smiles in good shape. Visiting us regularly will help you enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles, whether you’re a teenager or a retiree. Routine exams allow us to catch potential problems early on, before they become more serious. This saves you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.

We offer a wide range of general dentistry so you can get all your dental care completed in one convenient location. Our services include:

  • Dental Cleanings and Exams – During the exam part of your checkup, we’ll screen you for oral cancer and perform a complete check of your mouth and teeth. Afterward, your hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth with an ultrasonic scaler. This removes all traces of plaque and tartar with less scraping.
  • Preventive Services – Depending on the results of your exam, we may recommend one or more preventive services. CariFree system products neutralize harmful acids, fluoride treatment strengthens your tooth enamel, and dental sealants form a barrier against disease-causing bacteria.
  • Gum Disease Treatment – If we find evidence of gum disease, we have two great ways to treat it. A deep cleaning using scaling and root planing will rid your mouth of bacteria around and below the gumline. We may also recommend Perio Protect, a system that uses customized trays to deliver medicine under your gums.
  • Custom-Fit Mouthguards – Our professional mouthguards are made in-house for superior quality control. You can get a mouthguard either to protect your mouth and teeth during sports, or to eliminate teeth grinding (known as bruxism) while sleeping.
  • Dry Mouth Treatment – We will offer tips and advice on keeping your mouth lubricated so you feel better. We can also provide you with the CariFree system to help fight cavities. You’re at a higher risk for decay if you have chronic dry mouth.
  • Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment – Our team will help you manage chronic bad breath so you avoid embarrassing social encounters and feel more confident to speak up in public.

Call Bickler Dentistry today at 503-647-4645. You can also make an appointment online. Keep your smile radiant with Salem general dentistry!

Wonderful visit at Bickler Dentistry. Extremely friendly office. Front staff is always prompt and efficient. My hygenist, Brie is amazing, friendly and so gentle! She is very good at explaining what she is doing and why. I usually dread my dental visits and she makes it so easy! I am a nurse so I pay attention to cleanliness, and they are always washing their hands and wiping down equipment appropriately. Dr. Bickler is fast and efficient, always up on cutting edge technology. Love that they have the Cerec system and do crowns in one visit. Would highly recommend this office.

Common Questions About General Dentistry

What foods are healthy for my teeth?

If you want a healthy smile, you’ll want a diet rich in whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables, calcium, and lean proteins. Make sure you avoid sugary drinks or sticky sweets, which can damage your tooth enamel. Drink plenty of water too! This washes away bacteria from your teeth and gums.

Can I prevent cavities?

Your mouth naturally creates a film over your teeth that becomes plaque. Plaque can harden into tartar, and tartar can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. By brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day, you break the film before it can become tartar. When you visit us for regular teeth cleanings, we’ll remove tartar from any spots you missed. We can also coat your teeth with fluoride to toughen your enamel and fight tooth decay.

Should I get fluoride treatment?

Fluoride, a mineral found in many foods and water, helps prevent cavities by strengthening your tooth enamel. It can even reverse early-stage decay. Since it contributes to the development of healthy teeth, children under 12 may benefit from fluoride treatment. In addition, cavity-prone adults may benefit as well. Ask us about fluoride if you have dry mouth, gum disease, or wear braces or other orthodontia.
