Healthy Teeth Start Here: Our General Dentistry Services

Garland Davis DDS & Associates believes that a healthy, beautiful smile begins with excellent general dental care. Our office, in Laurel MD offers comprehensive general dentistry to patients of any age. Our goal is to provide high-quality care that will keep your teeth and gums healthy for many years.


We offer a wide range of general dentistry services. These services include:

  • Dental Exams & Cleanings

    Regular cleanings and exams will help you maintain strong teeth and healthy gingiva. Our hygienists can remove tartar and plaque that is not easily removed by brushing. Dr. Davis will perform a thorough oral examination to detect signs of oral cancer, gum disease and cavities. By catching problems early, these visits can help you avoid costly procedures in the future.

  • Digital X-Rays

    Digital X-rays provide a precise, clear view of the teeth, jawbone, and roots. This safe, low-radiation technology can detect problems like tooth decay, bone loss, or impacted teeth. Digital imaging speeds diagnosis and allows us to plan effective, accurate treatments. We always put your comfort and safety first.

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings

    Garland Davis DDS & Associates understands that small dental restorations shouldn't compromise the appearance of your smile. Dr. Davis, along with our team of caring professionals, uses tooth-colored composite fillings to blend seamlessly into your smile. Modern fillings are not only durable and free of mercury, but also allow us to preserve more natural tooth structure. We ensure that you are comfortable at every stage of treatment. Most patients cannot tell where the filling has been placed once the procedure is finished.

  • Gum Disease Treatment

    We treat gum disease in all stages. Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile. In early cases we may recommend a deeper cleaning (scaling, root planing) and better home care. We provide targeted treatment in more advanced stages to reduce infection and save your teeth. Regular maintenance is important to keep gum disease in check and protect your oral health over the long term.

  • Oral Cancer Screenings

    If oral cancer is not detected early, it can be fatal. We screen for this condition at every examination. Dr. Davis checks for abnormalities such as unusual sores or lumps in the mouth, lip, and throat. The screening is painless and quick. It could save your life. Early detection increases treatment success.

  • Sealants and Fluoride Treatments

    Sealants can protect the molars of children and teenagers against decay. We apply a thin protective coating on the chewing surfaces to seal out bacteria and plaque. Fluoride treatments help to strengthen enamel, and prevent cavities for both children and adults. These options are fast, affordable, and effective.

  • Extractions

    Garland Davis DDS & Associates understands that a tooth removal can be a stressful experience. Dr. Davis is gentle and communicates clearly with you during every procedure to help ease your fears. Before beginning, we make sure that you are completely numb and comfortable. We also guide you through the entire recovery process. Our top priorities are your health, comfort and peace of mind

  • Nightguards and Mouthguards

    A custom-made nightguard will protect your smile against wear, cracks and jaw pain if you grind your teeth during the night. For athletes of any age, we also make sports mouthguards to protect them from injury. These mouthguards are made to order for maximum comfort and safety. These appliances are a great way to protect your teeth from costly dental work and preserve them.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

  • How often should I visit the dentist for cleanings and exams?

    The dentist recommends you visit him at least every six months, for a professional oral examination and cleaning. This allows us to monitor your oral health, and detect problems before they get serious.

  • What is the difference between cleaning and deep cleaning?

    Standard cleanings focus on surfaces above the gumline. When you show signs of gum infection, a deep cleaning is necessary. This involves cleaning below your gumline to remove plaque and bacteria.

  • Are digital X-rays safe?

    Yes. Digital X-rays emit less radiation than conventional X-rays, making them an essential and safe tool for diagnosing dental problems that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

  • Do you provide services for children?

    Yes. We offer a complete range of pediatric dental services, including cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and cavity treatment.

  • What are the signs of gum disease?

    Signs include persistent bad breath and swollen, red, or swollen gums. You should schedule an appointment as soon as you notice any of the above.

  • Is it common to be nervous before dental appointments?

    Many people have dental anxiety. We offer gentle treatment and our team is trained to create an environment that's relaxed, judgment-free, and safe. Please let us know if your anxiety is making you feel uneasy. We're happy to assist.

  • What should I do in an emergency dental situation?

    Contact our office right away. We offer emergency dental care for toothaches, broken teeth and lost fillings.

  • Are you covered by dental insurance?

    Most major dental insurance plans are accepted. Before beginning treatment, our team will verify your benefits.

  • How can I tell if I have a cavity?

    A dentist is the only one who can diagnose a cavity. However, signs of a cavity include tooth sensitivity and pain when you bite, as well as visible holes or dark patches on your teeth. Regular dental exams can help detect cavities earlier.

  • How can I keep my teeth healthy between dental visits?

    Eat a balanced diet and refrain from smoking. Wear a mouthguard if you play sports or grind your teeth when you sleep. Also, keep up with scheduled cleanings.
