Gold Dental provides comprehensive general dentistry services for patients of all ages in Petersburg, VA. General dentistry is the foundation of good oral health — regular cleanings, exams, and early intervention prevent small problems from becoming expensive emergencies.
Our general dentistry services include professional teeth cleanings (prophylaxis), comprehensive oral exams, digital X-rays, gum disease screening and treatment, tooth-colored fillings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants for children, and custom mouthguards. We recommend that most patients visit every six months for a cleaning and exam, though patients with gum disease or other conditions may need more frequent visits.
During your exam, our dentist will check every tooth for cavities, evaluate your gum health, screen for oral cancer, and assess your bite and jaw function. We take digital X-rays to detect problems that are not visible to the naked eye, including decay between teeth, bone loss, and impacted teeth. We explain all findings in plain language and present treatment options clearly before proceeding.

Qualifying crowns are also a benefit. Coverage depends on eligibility, the procedure code, clinical criteria, frequency limits, and any required authorization or review; accepting Medicaid does not guarantee payment for every procedure.
