General Dentistry in Riverside, IL

What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. It includes everything from your toddler’s first dental visit to cleanings and checkups well into your golden years. At Orland Family Dental in Riverside, IL, our general and preventive dental care is built around one goal: keeping your smile strong, healthy, and confident — at every age.

Our approach is simple and thoughtful: conservative care, modern tools, and genuine relationships with our patients. We're not just checking teeth — we’re looking out for your well-being.

Benefits of Preventive Dental Care

Routine dental visits are one of the best ways to stay ahead of problems before they start. With regular cleanings and checkups, you get:

  • Early detection of cavities, gum disease, and other concerns

  • Preventive treatments, including fluoride and sealants

  • Support for overall wellness, since oral health links to heart health, diabetes, and more

  • Cost savings by catching small issues before they become bigger (and more expensive)

In short? It’s not just about your teeth — it’s about your quality of life.

Am I a Candidate for General Dentistry?

Yes! If you have teeth (natural or restored), you’re a candidate. We welcome patients of all ages and backgrounds — from tiny tykes learning to brush to great grands maintaining their dentures. Haven’t been in for a while? No judgment here. We’ll meet you where you are and guide you forward with kindness and care.
