General dentistry services in Riverview, FL

Caring for your oral health starts by finding a compassionate and experienced dentist. Dr. Janis Milne, Dr. Rosalia Kickish, and the dental team at Inspiration Dental in Riverview, FL, offer a full range of general dentistry services using state-of-the-art technology to provide gentle, restorative care and prevent issues before they begin.

Routine hygiene offers the best defense for your teeth

Every day brushing and flossing can prevent bacteria buildup from causing gum disease and tooth decay, but home care is only part of the solution. Your routine dental visit allows our team of hygienists to clean your teeth and remove plaque and tartar buildup to keep tooth decay at bay.

Your dentist will also evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw to screen for health issues using dental X-rays and a physical exam. Many problems with your mouth are easily reversible if they are caught early. Our team can help reduce your risk for developing oral health issues by educating you on ways to improve your home care and address bite alignment and tooth placement with orthodontics.

Restoring your oral health

If you’re diagnosed with tooth decay or gum disease, your dentist will form a treatment plan to remove disease and strengthen your teeth and gums. Inspiration Dental has invested in laser technology to improve patient comfort and allow us to treat periodontal disease and TMJ issues right in our office without a referral to an outside specialist. This technology will minimize pain and bleeding from procedures that address infection and shorten the recovery time for extractions and other advanced procedures.

While we always strive to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, you may need to have a tooth extracted to protect your smile in some cases. Our dentists will work with you to make the process painless and help you choose the best replacement option. We offer dental implants, dentures, and bridges, and we can walk you through the best choice for your situation.

Our team is committed to providing individualized care and treatment plans tailored to your needs. To learn more about how we can help you improve your oral health, contact the team at Inspiration Dental in Riverview, FL, today at (813) 638-0313 to schedule an appointment.
