Take Care of Your Smile

While daily brushing and flossing can help keep your teeth in good shape, even the most dedicated patients can miss a couple of vital areas. Fortunately, at Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry, our dentists will thoroughly clean your teeth and suggest treatment if necessary.

What is General Dentistry?

The majority of procedures that fall under the general and family dentistry genre focus on keeping your and your family’s teeth clean while also checking for any signs of underlying complications. This kind of preventative care can maintain your dental health and minimize the risk of issues such as tooth decay, periodontal (gum) disease, discoloration, and more. Dr. Soliman and our team recommend visiting our Elk Grove, CA office every six months for generalized care.

Dental Cleanings and Exams

Visiting your dentist at least twice a year for routine cleanings and dental exams can help eliminate bacteria while also checking for signs of oral cancer. Our dental technology can search for any sign of dental decay and infection. Both Dr. Soliman and Dr. Girgis will identify any underlying symptoms and address them immediately with our various procedures to keep your smile looking and feeling great.


Contact Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry at (916) 683-5732 to make your appointment with Dr. Mohamed Soliman or Dr. Fady Girgis and to learn more about dental cleanings and exams.

Dental Fillings

Even the smallest of cavities spiral into more extreme dental issues if not taken care of. Fortunately, dental fillings are the perfect solution for removing minor instances of decay while keeping your natural tooth intact. Your dentist will examine your tooth and remove any harmful bacteria while applying a restoration customized to the natural shade of your smile.


Our dentists may also recommend a dental filling if your tooth has sustained damage. This restorative treatment works to repair the tooth and restore its shape, function and appearance. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Mohamed Soliman or Dr. Fady Girgis and find out more about dental fillings call today at (916) 683-5732.

Dental Sealants

At our Elk Grove, CA office we provide dental sealants for patients looking to add some extra protection to their smiles. These thin, plastic coatings are applied along the chewing surfaces of your teeth to ward off harmful bacteria and food debris. While this type of dental procedure is typically recommended for children, patients of all ages can benefit.


Protect your teeth from cavities! Schedule an appointment with our dentists and learn more about the benefits of dental sealants by calling (916) 683-5732.

Gum Disease Therapy

Your gums are equally as important to your smile as your teeth are. A build-up of excessive bacteria can develop into a condition known as periodontal disease. Luckily, our dentists provide gum disease therapy, which is used to protect your oral health and avoid complications such as bad breath and tooth loss.


Dr. Mohamed Soliman and Dr. Fady Girgis will check your mouth for signs of periodontal disease during each of your regular visits. If you are diagnosed with this condition, our dentists and team will work with you to create a treatment plan that will fight the disease and improve your oral health. Call us today at (916) 683-5732 to learn more about the treatment options.

Orthodontic Services

Dr. Soliman and our team may recommend an orthodontic treatment to correct misalignment issues with your teeth and jaw. Along with cosmetic benefits, orthodontics can also improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry, we use ClearCorrect aligners to provide patients with a convenient, non-intrusive way to straighten their teeth.


Enjoy the benefits of a healthy and beautiful smile! Call Smile Maker Dentistry at (916) 683-5732 to learn more about our orthodontic treatments.

ClearCorrect

ClearCorrect is a treatment that we utilize to straighten your teeth and give you a more beautiful smile. This orthodontic treatment uses custom-made, clear plastic aligners that aren't very noticeable. The treatment is discreet and comfortable as well as effective. Contact Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry at (916) 683-5732 if this treatment interests you!

Preventative Dentistry

The most important dental procedure for you and your family is routine cleaning. While overlooked, simply visiting our dentists can prevent bacteria and plaque from building up and causing gum disease and decay. These appointments also give our team the chance to check your mouth for early signs of issues and provide preventive care.


Preventive dentistry is crucial to maintaining excellent oral health and a beautiful smile. Our dentists and team offer a number of preventive treatments, including sealants, cleanings, and exams, to help you avoid dental problems and continue to enjoy a healthy smile. Contact us today for more information.

Root Canal Therapy

A cavity left untreated for too long can reach your tooth’s pulp, a chamber in the center that contains your nerve tissues and blood vessels. Fortunately, our dentists can save your tooth with a root canal. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of your tooth, and sealing it with a beautiful porcelain crown to protect it from future reinfection.


Allow us to provide you with root canal services to prevent the need for more extensive and invasive treatment to replace the tooth. Call Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry at (916) 683-5732 today.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I have better oral health?

    The best way to maintain your oral health is by visiting your dentist for routine biannual checkups and practicing a consistent oral care regimen at home. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing with mouthwash after each meal. That way, your teeth will remain in good condition and your dentist will be able to check for any potential issues.

  • Should I be concerned that my gums are bleeding when I brush?

    Having gums bleed while you are brushing your teeth may be an early symptom of gum disease. Gums tend to bleed due to a build-up of plaque and inadequate brushing, which lead to further symptoms if not treated by a dental professional. By receiving periodontal care early, and practicing a consistent oral hygiene regimen at home, your dentist will be able to keep your smile clean of any harmful bacteria.

  • What causes tooth sensitivity?

    Tooth sensitivity is caused when the dentin — layer beneath your enamel — or tooth roots have become exposed. Many factors cause tooth sensitivity, such as:


    • Tooth root exposure caused by receding gums
    • Teeth have become injured due to nighttime grinding
    • Your teeth are chipped or have damage in the enamel
  • Are dental x-rays safe for my teeth?

    Yes! Recent advancements in dental technology mean that you’re exposed to 80% less radiation compared to traditional scans. Dentists use these types of X-rays to take accurate scans of your teeth. This helps to determine the best course of treatment. To ensure your safety, they also follow the guidelines set out by the ADA (American Dental Association).
