Better Health for Life

Benefits of General Dentistry

Regular dental care forms the foundation of your overall health and wellbeing. Our comprehensive general dentistry services help you maintain a healthy, confident smile while preventing serious problems before they start.

Sleep Better at Night

Stop worrying about sudden tooth pain or dental emergencies. Regular checkups catch problems early, so you can rest easy knowing your mouth is healthy and protected.

Eat What You Love

Keep all your favorite foods on the menu. Preventive care helps you maintain strong, healthy teeth that can handle everything from crispy apples to your favorite steak.

Smile Without Hesitation

Feel confident in every photo, meeting, and conversation. Clean, healthy teeth give you the freedom to smile naturally without worrying about how your teeth look.

Fresh Breath All Day

Professional cleanings remove bacteria and buildup that cause bad breath, helping you feel confident in close conversations and social situations throughout the day.

Save Money Long-Term

Prevent costly emergency treatments and major procedures. Regular maintenance visits cost far less than fixing problems after they become painful and complicated.

Keep Your Natural Teeth

Avoid the hassle and expense of tooth replacement. Good preventive care helps your natural teeth last a lifetime, maintaining your bite and facial structure.

Feel More Energy

A healthy mouth supports better overall health. When your gums and teeth are in good shape, your body doesn’t have to fight infections that can drain your energy.

Look Younger Naturally

Healthy teeth and gums support your facial structure and appearance. Regular care helps prevent gum recession and tooth loss that can age your face prematurely.

Catch Serious Problems Early

Detect issues like oral cancer, gum disease, and decay before they become dangerous or painful. Early detection often means simpler, more successful treatment options.

Maintain Overall Health

Protect your heart, brain, and immune system. Research shows that oral health directly impacts your body’s ability to fight disease and maintain wellness throughout life.

Right for Everyone

Who Is General Dentistry For?

Frequently Asked Questions

General Dentistry FAQs

Looking for comprehensive dental care for you and your family? General dentistry forms the foundation of good oral health. Here are answers to common questions our Woodbury patients ask about general dentistry services at Imagine Your Smile.

What general dentistry services do you provide?

We offer comprehensive general dental care including routine cleanings, exams, fillings, preventive treatments, periodontal maintenance, and oral health evaluations. Our goal is to keep your teeth and gums healthy while catching potential problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat.
Most patients benefit from visits every six months, though some may need more frequent care based on their oral health needs. Regular checkups allow us to monitor your dental health, provide professional cleanings, and address small issues before they become major problems requiring extensive treatment.
We’ll examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. This includes checking existing fillings or restorations, evaluating your bite, and sometimes taking X-rays. We’ll also discuss your oral hygiene routine and provide personalized recommendations.
Yes, we use composite resin fillings that match your natural tooth color. These tooth-colored fillings are not only more attractive than metal amalgam but also bond directly to your tooth structure, often requiring less removal of healthy tooth material for placement.
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t eliminate. We’ll clean above and below the gumline, polish your teeth, and may apply fluoride treatment. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease while keeping your smile looking and feeling fresh.
We understand dental visits can cause anxiety. Our team creates a comfortable, welcoming environment and explains procedures clearly. We also offer sedation options to help anxious patients relax during treatment, ensuring everyone receives the care they need without stress or fear.
Digital X-rays help us detect problems not visible during visual exams, like cavities between teeth, bone loss, or issues below the gumline. We typically recommend X-rays annually or as needed based on your oral health history and current condition.
Yes, we provide treatment for all stages of gum disease. Early gingivitis often responds well to improved home care and professional cleanings. More advanced cases might require scaling and root planing or other periodontal treatments to restore your gum health.
We welcome patients of all ages and provide age-appropriate care for everyone in your family. From children’s first dental visits to comprehensive adult care, we tailor our approach to meet each patient’s unique needs and comfort level.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss regularly, and limit sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Don’t use your teeth as tools, and contact us if you experience pain, sensitivity, or other concerns. Consistent home care combined with regular professional care keeps your smile healthy.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Wilhelm and his invaluable staff. The process for my implant dentures was thoroughly explained. I was treated with respect and kindness throughout this entire process and would recommend Imagine Your Smile to anyone who is considering replacement teeth. From walking in the reception area to leaving after an appointment is a cared-for experience. Thank you!!

I went to see Dr. Wilhelm after spending 3 years trying to get a decent set of dentures for my implants. I honestly expected to be disappointed again. I was so WRONG. Dr Wilhelm did the most amazing job! I feel like I won the lottery. I look like me again for the first time in years. I am so happy I cried. Every person in that office is so kind. For the first time in my life I look forward to going to the dentist!!!!

I saw Dr. Wilhelm back in 2006 for an upper denture and extraction. Throughout the process, Dr. Wilhelm checked in with me through the extraction to ensure I was comfortable and not feeling any pain. He even called me later that evening to check in and see how I was doing. His team is professional, caring and knowledgeable. I have told a lot of people about my experience with him as I was so lucky to find such a great team. I can’t thank them enough. BTW, even to this day, my denture (no implants) has fit like a glove and is in great condition. I have not needed anything to hold it in place.

Dr. Wilhelm has been our family dentist for more than 20 years. His staff at Imagine Your Smile could not have been more attentive providing information and reassurance while I considered implant surgery. They were detailed and professional during preparation for the procedure. The surgery went on without difficulty or discomfort. The follow-up was thoughtful, considerate, and professional. I’ve always been confident that Dr. Wilhelm and his staff provide the best dental care available. Outstanding work.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wilhelm since I was kid. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such wonderful dental care over the past 20+ years. I just had my first filling for a cavity and Dr. Wilhelm and his team did an amazing job. They are professional, thorough, and efficient. I didn’t feel a thing and the filling is absolutely beautiful and blends in with the tooth. Thanks Dr. Wilhelm!

At first i Went to one of them in and out of the dental clinics that are advertised on tv. it was a nightmare. my dentures didn’t fit,my bite was way off, couldn’t eat without having dentures come loose. Then I went to DR. Wilhelm at first i was a little seceptic. but in the end I been so happy with my new dentures. no sticky paste or powders to hold my dentures in. now i am back to eating steak, corn on the cob,and everything i used to eat when i had my original teeth. Dr Wilhelm is a master of his craft.

Dr. Wilhelm and his staff did an amazing job on my daughter’s teeth. She had lost her 2 front teeth and needed implants and some cosmetic dental work. The entire process went smoothly and the end result is beautiful. I couldn’t be any happier I would highly recommend him for any dental work.

Nancy Riesterer

The first time I went to see Dr. Wilhelm was about 16 years ago – I was absolutely so impressed. He was so detailed, took the time to explain everything. Three years ago I started having issues with my teeth – my mouth was changing. I decided to try local. I could not handle it anymore, my mouth was so bothersome and I was telling my wife how I should have just gone to Dr. Wilhelm. So I did! My wife says I just shine when I smile. Talk about another great pair of dentures. I cannot thank you enough Dr. Wilhelm and your staff! Another job well done!

They provide excellent dental care. I go for the general dentistry cleanings and exams. Laurie the Hygienist is easy to talk with and puts you at ease. Great education on any questions you might have about your teeth. Doc Wilhelm is very thorough. Even if you don’t have prosthodontic issues, this team is well qualified to handle your dental needs.

Adam Begley

I can’t say enough about my great experience with the entire staff. I had previous implants and dentures started by someone else and was very dissatisfied with the results so far. Dr. Mark and Steph were great to work with and so nice and patient with me! Dr. Mark immediately saw what the problems were before I even explained what I felt was wrong. Over the next several months, he worked with me to find the perfect placement and look. He even brought in an outside speech therapist for a consultation for me. I am completely satisfied and grateful for his time and expertise. My only regret is that I didn’t go see him in the first place!

Dr. Wilhelm and his staff are truly an outstanding team, and I highly recommend them for any procedure. I have been a patient for many years, and when I was facing major work with much apprehension, Dr. Wilhelm was kind and encouraging, helping me to overcome my fear. I was completely comfortable throughout the procedure and my results are amazing!

The staff at Image Your Smile are fabulous people. They are kind , polite and professional . I had a terrible experiences with a dentist as a young kid and was always anxious about going because having a sore mouth for a week was the norm back then .These people do high quality work, explain the procedure and make you feel welcome from the time that you walk in the door . I am excited about having a new smile that I can display and would recommend that if you need restorative work , that you give them a call.

James Krieger

Expectations exceeded. I haven’t had much luck in this field but I was treated very well here. The appointment was set up within a week! They took me in a little early. Dr. Wilhelms assistant was fabulous, she was not only nice but genuine! Budget was an important aspect of my service needs and I was given many options and found a reasonable solution. They went on to take the impressions for the next step without first making me schedule a new appointment . They showed me costs upfront and total cost, (no hidden side service, xray, taxes, etc.) I highly reccomend this establishment every step of the way.
