General Dentistry

Looking for a dentist in Port Richey who treats your smile like it matters? At Goff Dental, we’ve built our practice around one simple idea: great oral health starts with a dental office that actually listens. Whether you’re coming in for your first cleaning in years or you’re already on top of your routine, we make general dentistry feel less like a chore and more like part of taking care of yourself.

General dentistry isn’t flashy, but it’s the foundation of everything. Regular checkups catch problems before they become painful (or expensive). Cleanings keep your gums healthy and your teeth strong. And when something does go wrong, a trusted general dentist can fix it quickly and comfortably. That’s what we do here in Port Richey, and we’d love to be your partner in keeping your smile healthy for the long haul.

Comprehensive General Dentistry Services

At Goff Dental, we offer a full range of general dentistry treatments designed to keep your smile healthy at every stage of life. Our services include:

Preventive Care Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing can’t reach. We recommend cleanings every six months to maintain optimal oral health. For patients at higher risk of cavities, we offer dental sealants that create a protective barrier on your back teeth, along with fluoride treatments that strengthen enamel and prevent decay.

Restorative Dentistry When teeth need repair, we use tooth-colored fillings that blend naturally with your smile. For more extensive damage, dental crowns restore both function and appearance. We’ve invested in Cerec technology, which allows us to create custom crowns in a single visit using digital impressions. No messy putty, no temporary crowns, no waiting weeks for your restoration.

If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap and restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably. We also handle complex issues like tooth perforation repair when damage occurs to the root structure.

Advanced Treatment Options For patients dealing with jaw pain, headaches, or clicking joints, our neuromuscular dentistry approach addresses TMD (temporomandibular disorder) at its source. We also treat occlusal disease, which occurs when your bite is misaligned and causes excessive wear on your teeth.

If you struggle with sleep apnea or chronic snoring, we offer oral appliance therapy as an alternative to CPAP machines. These custom devices keep your airway open while you sleep, improving both your rest and your overall health.

Comfort-Focused Care Dental anxiety shouldn’t keep you from getting the care you need. We offer sedation dentistry options to help you feel relaxed during your visit. And with Oraverse, we can reverse the numbness from local anesthesia faster, so you’re not walking around with a numb face for hours after your appointment.

Specialized Procedures Some patients need a lingual frenectomy to address tongue-tie issues that affect speech or eating. We perform this simple procedure right here in our office. For those concerned about dental materials, we’re proud to be both mercury safe and mercury free. We use modern materials and follow strict protocols to protect your health.

Enamel shaping is a conservative cosmetic option that can smooth out minor imperfections and improve the overall appearance of your smile without removing significant tooth structure.

Why Routine Visits Matter

Think of your dental checkup like an oil change for your car. Skip it too many times, and small problems turn into big ones. Regular visits to your general dentist help you avoid surprises like sudden toothaches, costly repairs, or advanced gum disease that affects your whole body.

Gum disease, for example, has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic health issues. Catching it early means treating it before it spreads. Cavities are easier (and cheaper) to fix when they’re small. And routine cleanings? They’re one of the simplest ways to prevent problems in the first place.

At our dental office in Port Richey, we don’t just check your teeth and send you on your way. We take time to explain what we see, answer your questions, and help you understand what’s going on in your mouth. No judgment, no pressure, just honest guidance from a team that genuinely cares.

Technology That Makes a Difference

We believe in using tools that make your experience better. At Goff Dental, we use digital impressions instead of messy molds, which means a more comfortable experience and more accurate results. Our Cerec system allows us to design, create, and place custom dental crowns in just one appointment.

Digital x-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film and provide instant, high-quality images. Intraoral cameras let you see what we see on a screen, so you’re never left guessing about your oral health.
