Achieving Balance in the Oral Health System
While preventive dentistry is what we strive for, many patients will have some signs of tooth decay, gum disease and/or cosmetic dental concerns. A beautiful smile is the result of a healthy oral system. This includes strong teeth, healthy gums and proper function of the joints, muscles and other support structures.
We practice the concept of co-discovery in our Asheville dental office. By partnering with you and taking the time to discover your wants and needs, we can deliver you the best treatment options for your overall wellness.
Our examination typically includes:
- Diagnostic x-rays
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Periodontal Screening (for gum disease)
- Dental Caries (Cavities) Screening
- Examination of the Temporomandibular Joints (TMJ) and Jaw Position
- Occlusal (Bite) Analysis
- Digital Imaging for Analysis, Diagnosis, and Treatment Planning
- Mounted Models for Analysis and Treatment Planning
If your smile is in relatively good health and you have no major dental concerns, we may be able to schedule you for a professional dental cleaning on your first visit. Consult with our office when making your appointment to get our recommendation.

General Dentistry Services at Red Maple Dental
At our Asheville dental office, we offer a full range of general dentistry services to help keep your smile healthy, comfortable, and strong. We want to help you maintain your oral health and get preventative care to stop dental concerns from getting worse over time.
Whether you need routine care or treatment for a dental concern, our team is here to help. We want to support your oral health at every stage of life.
Teeth Cleanings
Regular teeth cleanings are one of the most important ways to protect your oral health. Our registered dental hygienists (RDH) gently remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing cannot reach. Cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while keeping your smile feeling fresh.
Dental Fillings
We recommend tooth fillings to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. During treatment, we use tooth-colored materials to restore the strength and appearance of your tooth. Fillings help stop decay from spreading and allow you to chew comfortably again.
Root Canals
We may recommend a root canal if you have a severely infected or damaged tooth. This treatment removes the infected tissue inside the tooth, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth. After treatment, we often recommend capping off the tooth with a dental crown. A crown protects the weakened tooth and helps it function normally.
Sedation Dentistry
Dental sedation helps patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. It’s a great option for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, or those who need longer treatments. We administer sedation safely so you can feel anxiety-free and get the treatment you need. Our team will discuss your sedation dentistry options with you for a calm, stress-free dental visit.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen at any time and often require quick care. If you have a toothache, broken tooth, or dental injury, we provide prompt emergency treatment. Our goal is to relieve pain, prevent further damage, and restore your oral health as soon as possible.
Tooth Extractions
You may need a tooth removed if it’s severely damaged, infected, or causing crowding. While many patients avoid getting a tooth removed because they’re afraid of pain, we offer gentle tooth extractions.
We’ll numb your treated area before we remove your tooth. After removal, we can discuss tooth replacement options to restore your smile.
Gum Disease Treatment
We offer periodontal therapy for patients with gum disease. Treatments such as deep cleanings, scaling, and root planing remove harmful bacteria from below the gumline. Treating gum disease early helps protect your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
