Our General Dentistry Services
Cleanings and Exams: Routine professional cleanings and comprehensive exams are the cornerstone of preventive dental care. Regular visits to Dental Pro allow our team to remove tartar buildup, detect early signs of decay or gum disease, and assess the overall health of your teeth and gums before minor issues have the chance to become major ones. We recommend most patients visit us every six months for optimal preventive care.
Emergency Dental Care: Dental emergencies can happen at any time. Whether you are dealing with a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a broken restoration, or a dental injury, our team at Dental Pro is here to help. Call us at (617) 607-2083 as soon as possible and we will do our best to see you promptly and relieve your pain.
Tooth Extractions: When a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved, extraction may be the most appropriate course of action. Our team at Dental Pro performs tooth extractions with care and precision, prioritizing your comfort throughout the procedure. Following extraction, we can discuss tooth replacement options such as a dental bridge or implant restoration.
Tooth Fillings: Cavities are one of the most common dental problems, and prompt treatment is essential to prevent further decay. At Dental Pro, we offer tooth-colored composite white resin fillings that restore both the function and natural appearance of your tooth — seamlessly blending with your smile.
Night Guards: If you grind or clench your teeth at night — a condition known as bruxism — a custom-fitted night guard from Dental Pro can protect your teeth from wear and damage, reduce jaw pain and headaches, and help you wake up feeling more comfortable and refreshed.
Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection is key when it comes to oral cancer. As part of your routine exam at Dental Pro, our team performs a thorough oral cancer screening to check for any abnormal tissue changes or early warning signs. This quick, painless evaluation can be life-saving when cancer is caught in its earliest stages.
Preventive Dentistry: Prevention is always better than treatment. Our preventive dentistry services at Dental Pro are designed to help patients of all ages maintain healthy teeth and gums through education, professional care, and proactive strategies that reduce the risk of decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
Root Canals: When infection or decay reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, a root canal procedure is often the best way to save the tooth and eliminate pain. Despite their reputation, modern root canal treatment at Dental Pro is a routine, comfortable procedure that relieves discomfort and preserves your natural tooth.
Dental Sealants: Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth — where cavities most commonly develop. They are a fast, painless, and highly effective preventive tool, particularly for children and teens whose molars are most vulnerable to decay.
Sports Mouth Guards: Whether you are a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, a custom sports mouth guard from Dental Pro provides far superior protection compared to over-the-counter options. A properly fitted mouth guard cushions impact, protects your teeth and jaw, and reduces the risk of dental injuries during contact sports.
Teeth Whitening: A brighter smile can dramatically improve your confidence and appearance. At Dental Pro, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that deliver noticeably whiter results safely and effectively — far beyond what over-the-counter whitening products can achieve.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions: Wisdom teeth that are impacted, misaligned, or causing crowding often need to be removed to protect the health of your surrounding teeth and gums. Our team at Dental Pro evaluates the position and development of your wisdom teeth using advanced panoramic X-ray and CT imaging to plan a safe and effective extraction procedure.
In addition to our general dentistry services, Dental Pro also offers cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and advanced dental technology — everything your family needs, all in one convenient location in Arlington, MA .

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry
What general dentistry services does Dental Pro Arlington offer?
Dental Pro offers a comprehensive range of general dentistry services including cleanings and exams, fillings, root canals, tooth extractions, wisdom teeth extractions, night guards, sports mouth guards, oral cancer screenings, sealants, teeth whitening, preventive dentistry, and emergency dental care.
How often should I visit the dentist for a cleaning and exam?
Most patients benefit from visiting Dental Pro every six months for a professional cleaning and exam. However, patients with a higher risk for gum disease, cavities, or other oral health concerns may be recommended to come in more frequently. Our team will advise you on the best schedule based on your individual oral health needs.
Does Dental Pro Arlington offer emergency dental care?
Yes. Dental Pro provides emergency dental care for patients experiencing urgent issues such as severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and dental injuries. If you are experiencing a dental emergency in Arlington, MA , call (617) 607-2083 right away so we can arrange to see you as quickly as possible.
Are root canals painful?
Modern root canal treatment at Dental Pro is performed under local anesthesia and is far more comfortable than most patients expect. In many cases, a root canal actually relieves the pain caused by the infected tooth rather than creating it. Our team will ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure and will provide aftercare guidance to support a smooth recovery.
What is the difference between a dental cleaning and a dental exam?
A dental cleaning involves the professional removal of plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gumline that cannot be fully addressed with at-home brushing and flossing. A dental exam involves a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues — often including digital X-rays — to assess your overall oral health and identify any areas of concern. At Dental Pro, cleanings and exams are typically performed together during the same appointment for your convenience.
Does Dental Pro Arlington offer teeth whitening?
Yes. Dental Pro offers professional teeth whitening treatments that deliver safe, effective, and noticeably brighter results. Professional whitening is significantly more effective than over-the-counter products and is customized to your specific needs. Ask our team about whitening options at your next visit, or contact us to schedule a consultation.
How can I protect my teeth during sports?
The best way to protect your teeth during athletic activities is with a custom-fitted sports mouth guard from Dental Pro. Custom mouth guards offer a far better fit, greater comfort, and superior protection compared to generic store-bought options. They are recommended for patients of all ages who participate in contact or high-impact sports. Ask our team about getting fitted for a custom mouth guard at your next appointment.
