General Dentistry

general dentistry patient and hygienistFor General Dentistry in Raleigh, Gover and Gover is one of the leading dental practices you can call to help you maintain proper oral hygiene and tooth health. At its most basic, “General Dentistry” is the category of dentistry involved with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a variety of tooth, gum and/or maxillofacial or jaw-related health issues.

Good general dentistry by nature is preventative, and it is one our main goals at Gover and Gover Dentistry to educate all our patients on how to maintain the best possible oral health. We want to help all of our patients develop an oral health plan that stimulates oral health, fights gum disease and helps ward off other dental hygiene problems.

Naturally one of the first suggestions, as recommended by The American Dental Association (ADA), is to get a comprehensive dental exam and teeth cleaning every six months by one of our skilled dentists. And although we offer some of the best restorative and cosmetic dental procedures in Raleigh, regular dental checkups and proper oral health maintenance will prevent the development of serious dental problems that require these invasive, costly treatments.

General Dentistry Services offered at Gover and Gover

Some of the basic dental services offered at Gover and Gover include dental exams, X-rays, teeth cleaning, tooth scaling and polishing. We also screen for the signs of oral cancer in all of our dental exams.

Comprehensive Dental Exams and Checkups

As we’ve already mentioned regular dental exams are a major part of maintaining your oral health for years to come. Our dentists take this responsibility seriously and expect to earn your trust as a patient by being both thorough and honest with your oral assessment.

Dental X-rays using Digital Radiography

Digital X-rays have become the industry standard now, but Gover and Gover was one of the first to adopt this technology. Digital dental X-rays offer faster and more detailed results and allow us to easily show our patients via computer monitor or share these results with an outside specialist if necessary. An additional benefit is the reduced radiation which is now a tenth of older technologies.

Teeth Cleaning, Scaling and Polishing

The Gover and Gover team has a highly skilled group of dental hygienists who will take the time to clean your teeth thoroughly. If scaling and/or polishing are needed, they may perform these services in consultation with one of the dentists.

For any of your general dentistry needs, we are accepting new patients at Gover and Gover Dentistry and welcome you to contact us.

I have been with Gover and Gover since they were originally Averett and Pleasants 30 years ago. I would not have stayed with them and brought my wife in to their practice if they weren’t the best.

I’ve been with this dentistry establishment for more than 30 years. Last year I celebrated my “25-year-anniversary” seeing Leigh Ann — as my hygienist. She’s knowledgeable, personable, and efficient.

My family and I have been with Gover and Gover for about 15-20 years now—I was actually one of their very first regular patients back when they started in Raleigh!

After I moved to Durham, I thought about switching to a dentist closer to home, but Dr. Susan and Dr. David felt like family. When Dr. Susan retired, I tried out another dentist, but honestly, it just didn't feel right—it felt like I was cheating on my dentist! It just didn't feel like home.

Anyway, I recently ran into an issue that needed some "out of the box" thinking for custom crown work, and my new go-to, Dr. Tanner Dice, was fantastic. He went above and beyond to figure out a solution and address my issue. Plus, I received a nice parting gift that I’ll definitely be enjoying this evening!

A huge shout-out to the awesome support staff for being so great: Lynn, Libby, Amber, Tuck, Danielle, Leighann, and the rest of the team I haven't met yet. You are all so appreciated!

Julie at Gover and Gover is the best! She’s been my hygienist for 10 years and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Both Doctor Govers make the experience as painless as possible.

I have been coming here for over 12 years. A couple of years ago they changed their policy to where you have to pay all fillings in full and the insurance cuts you a check. It was annoying but fine I guess. Until this time. It’s been 2 months and we are still waiting for reimbursement. Insurance said the dentist office never filed anything. We will have to get another dentist which is unfortunate.
