Many people hear of general dentistry, but have you ever wondered what exactly it is? General dentistry involves the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of a patient’s overall oral health. However, general dentists also offer restorative and preventive treatments, including teeth cleanings, x-rays, dental fillings, and root canals.
Unlike specialists who focus on a specific area of dentistry––like pediatric or implant dentistry––general dentists offer a variety of treatments to patients of all ages, from kids and teenagers to adults and seniors. Your general dentists in Lakeland, FL provide comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages. From periodontal treatment to dental crowns and tooth-colored fillings, Dr. Vernon Smith and Dr. Mohammad Zaman can do it all.

Lifelong Oral Health at Every Age
Our dentists in Lakeland, Dr. Vernon Smith and Dr. Mohammad Zaman, focus on preventive dental care, including exams, teeth cleaning, and periodontal care. Not only are these the most accessible and affordable ways to ensure your sustained oral health, but they also prevent issues like tooth decay and gum disease.
Tooth decay and gum disease can take a toll on your oral and whole-body health before a person even realizes they exist. Fortunately, routine dental visits with Dr. Smith or Dr. Zaman allow us to treat these issues before they damage your smile. When we identify and treat these issues in the earliest possible stages, conservative treatments are ideal options rather than waiting until the problem worsens, requiring a more complex procedure.
Whether you are two or 102, our dentists can provide you and your family with the exceptional and personalized dental care you deserve––all in one convenient location.
