General dentistry covers the everyday care most people need most of the time: examinations, professional cleanings, fillings, and honest guidance about what to watch. Dr. Zou reviews your teeth, gums, health history, and risk factors before recommending treatment.
General dentistry brings preventive, diagnostic, and restorative care together in one place, so changes can be identified and addressed while they are still straightforward to treat.
What we look for shifts across a lifetime. A teenager may need sealants and orthodontic monitoring, an adult may be managing older restorations and early recession, and an older patient may be balancing dry mouth from medication against a higher risk of decay.
If it has been several years since your last visit, that is common and nothing to apologize for. Mention it when you request an appointment so our team can plan enough time for a thorough first evaluation.
Request an appointment and our team will follow up to confirm a time, or call 909.283.3130. An examination is required before a treatment recommendation can be made.

Tell our team when you request an appointment. Knowing in advance allows us to plan a slower pace, explain each step before it happens, and agree on a signal to pause at any point.
Yes. We plan to see children through to older adults. The examination is similar at every age, but what we monitor and recommend differs depending on the stage of dental development and individual risk.
