About General Dentistry
A general dentist provides the everyday dental care that keeps teeth and gums healthy, including cleanings, exams, X-rays, fillings, gum disease treatment, and oral cancer screenings. At Gilreath Family Dentistry, our general dentists also provide restorative, cosmetic, implant, and orthodontic care, so most patients can receive all of their dental treatment in one Marietta office.
Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and checkup. Patients with gum disease, a high risk of cavities, or other ongoing concerns may need more frequent visits. Our doctors recommend the right schedule for each patient.
A routine visit at Gilreath Family Dentistry includes a professional cleaning, a comprehensive exam of the teeth and gums, an oral cancer screening, and low-dose digital X-rays when needed. Our doctors then review any findings and recommend preventive or restorative care.

The most common general dentistry services include cleanings and exams, dental X-rays, fillings, sealants, fluoride treatments, gum disease treatment, oral cancer screenings, mouth guards, and night guards. These services focus on prevention and early treatment to keep smiles healthy.
Yes. Regular checkups and preventive care allow our doctors to catch cavities, gum disease, and other concerns early, when they’re simpler to treat. In many cases, early decay can even be stopped without drilling, and minor issues can be addressed before they require crowns, root canals, or implants.
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services like cleanings, exams, and X-rays, often at a high percentage. Gilreath Family Dentistry accepts most insurance plans and files claims for our patients. Patients without insurance can join our in-house Membership Club.
