General Dentistry
Your oral health is the foundation of your overall well-being. At Pelican Dental, we provide comprehensive general dentistry services designed to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy for life. While we offer a full range of advanced dental treatments, we also incorporate holistic techniques, including safe mercury filling removal, to ensure your care supports your entire body, not just your teeth.
What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common oral health issues. Our goal is to maintain your natural teeth and help you achieve a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.

Periodontics
Periodontal disease is very common in adults. It is caused by all of the bacteria in our mouth that forms plaque on our teeth. Without routine brushing and flossing, it continues to build up, forming tartar.
People with periodontal disease can have red and swollen gums that often bleed quite easily. It may be hard to eat because their teeth are so sensitive. They may be missing teeth. Some people with periodontal disease have very bad breath.
We diagnose periodontal disease by examining your teeth. We also use a probe to look for any problem areas. X-rays are also necessary to diagnose the disease.
- Implants
- Gum Grafting
- Pinhole Surgery
- Twinlight Laser
Our Holistic Touch
While we are primarily a general dental office, we recognize the mouth-body connection and use holistic methods when beneficial to your treatment. We use safe, biocompatible, tooth-colored materials for restorations. We focus on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible by incorporating minimally invasive techniques in every treatment.
We also follow strict safety guidelines during the removal of old mercury-amalgam fillings to minimize harmful chemical exposure and keep both patients and staff safe.
Benefits of Regular General Dental Care
KöR laser whitening is one of the most advanced and reliable ways to brighten your smile. Unlike over-the-counter products that only address surface stains, KöR penetrates deep into the enamel and dentin to remove even the most stubborn discoloration. It’s especially effective for patients whose teeth are stained from coffee, wine, tobacco, or even certain medications that are typically resistant to traditional whitening. The process is safe, dentist-supervised, and designed to deliver noticeable results quickly while minimizing tooth sensitivity.
- Prevents Major Issues: Routine visits help catch problems early when they are easier to treat.
- Maintains Healthy Teeth and Gums: Preventive care reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Improves Appearance and Confidence: Clean, healthy teeth enhance your smile and self-esteem.
- Supports Overall Wellness: Good oral health is linked to heart health, diabetes control, and more.
