Complete dental care from prevention to restoration
Staying on top of your oral health is one of the most effective things you can do for your overall wellbeing. Routine care helps catch problems early, while restorative treatment gets you back on track when something does go wrong.
Dr. Josh Neubauer takes a comprehensive approach to general dentistry, addressing not just your teeth but your gums, jaw, and surrounding tissue at every visit.

Our General Dentistry services
Composite Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities and protect your tooth from further damage. Matched to your natural shade, they blend seamlessly with your smile while restoring strength and function.
Dental Bonding
Repair chipped or cracked teeth and improve the appearance of your smile with a simple, conservative treatment.
Dental Bridges
Restore one to three missing teeth with a custom-made prosthetic permanently bonded in place for a natural look and lasting function.
Dental Crowns
A custom-fitted cap that restores the strength, shape, and appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth.
Dental Extractions
Removing a tooth is a common procedure performed with care and precision to relieve pain and protect your overall oral health.
Dental Implants
A titanium implant post replaces the tooth root and is topped with a custom restoration to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.
Dentures
Get new dentures or have your existing full or partial dentures maintained and repaired. These modern dental prostheses are a reliable, natural-looking solution for replacing several or all of your teeth.
Root Canal
A root canal is a precise, carefully performed procedure that relieves tooth pain and helps save your natural tooth. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients find the experience far more manageable than they expect.
Teeth Cleanings
Regular teeth cleanings and checkups are one of the most effective ways to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Scheduling a visit every six to eight months helps you stay ahead of dental problems before they become painful or costly.
Why routine care and early intervention matter
The two most common causes of tooth loss are cavities in younger adults and gum disease in older adults. Both are largely preventable with consistent home care and regular dental visits.
Keep your natural teeth for longer
Detecting the earliest signs of decay or gum disease during a routine exam makes treatment far simpler and less invasive. A small cavity treated with a composite filling today is a much easier conversation than a root canal or dental extraction down the road. Keeping your natural teeth for as long as possible is always the priority.
Protect your budget
Routine teeth cleanings and exams are among the most predictable and affordable dental expenses you will have. Addressing a problem at its earliest stage is almost always less costly than treating it after it has progressed. Investing in prevention consistently is what keeps larger, unexpected dental bills from appearing.
Enjoy a mouth that simply works
When your oral health is in good shape, you do not have to think about it. No persistent aches, no sensitivity that limits what you can eat, no self-consciousness about your smile. Well-maintained teeth are comfortable, functional, and reliable, which is exactly how it should be.
Schedule your exam and consultation
Your visit begins with a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and bite. We want to understand the full picture of your oral health before recommending any course of treatment.
Before moving forward, we take the time to learn about your health history, any concerns you may have, and what you’re hoping to achieve. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way. Contact us today to book your appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
A routine general dentistry visit usually includes a professional teeth cleaning, a full oral exam, and X-rays when appropriate. Your dentist will check your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissue for any signs of decay, disease, or other concerns. If anything requires follow-up, it will be explained clearly along with your treatment options.
Common signs that restorative care may be needed include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity that does not resolve, visible chips or cracks, a broken or lost filling, bleeding gums, or difficulty chewing. Some issues, such as early cavities or the beginning stages of gum disease, have no obvious symptoms at all, which is why regular checkups are so important for catching problems before they cause discomfort.
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and stopping problems before they develop. This includes teeth cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride treatment, and patient education. Restorative dentistry addresses issues that have already developed, such as decay, infection, damage, or tooth loss. The two work together, and consistent preventive care reduces the likelihood of needing more significant restorative treatment over time.
Early-stage gum disease, known as gingivitis, can often be addressed with a thorough professional cleaning and improved home care habits. More advanced gum disease may require a deeper cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing, which goes below the gumline to remove bacterial buildup. Your dentist will assess the health of your gums at every visit and recommend the appropriate level of care.
A cavity that is not treated will continue to grow. Over time it can reach the inner pulp of the tooth, leading to infection, significant pain, and the potential need for a root canal or dental extraction. Treating a cavity early with a composite filling is a straightforward procedure that prevents this progression and preserves the tooth.
Not at every visit. X-rays are typically taken at intervals based on your individual oral health history, age, and risk factors. Bitewing X-rays to check for cavities between teeth are commonly taken once a year, while more comprehensive imaging is taken less frequently. X-rays allow the dentist to see areas that cannot be assessed visually and are an important part of thorough care.
Brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, flossing once a day, and limiting sugary foods and drinks are the most impactful habits you can maintain at home. Staying hydrated also supports saliva production, which naturally helps protect teeth from decay. These habits, combined with regular teeth cleanings and checkups, form the foundation of long-term oral health.
