Why General Dentistry Matters
Maintaining your oral health is about more than just your smile. It's also essential to protecting your overall well-being. Dr. Hernandez-Gil is dedicated to providing the highest level of care possible.
Dr. Hernandez-Gil always emphasizes preventive care above all else. Regular checkups help catch issues early. This can save you time, discomfort, and money in the future.
Did you know that poor oral health, particularly gum disease, is closely connected to harmful conditions like heart disease and diabetes? Dental care plays a vital role in your overall health.
Maintaining your oral health is about more than just your smile. Clean, healthy teeth help you speak, smile, and interact confidently at work, with friends, and in everyday life.

Patient-First Care
"Love this place. I came over multiple times from Oregon to have my mouth corrected and have implants. It was worth the 7 trips from Oregon to Salt Lake over a 2-year. My teeth and implants are now wonderful and I feel like I have a new lease on life. It is amazing how much better you feel when your teeth are correct. Again. I would strongly recommend this office to anyone." -Paul Bodeving

Essential Dental Care Services
Our Salt Lake City office provides a range of general dentistry options to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that daily brushing can’t reach. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while keeping your smile looking and feeling fresh.
Routine dental exams allow your dentist to identify problems early before they become more serious. These visits typically include checking for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other conditions that affect your overall health.
Tooth extractions are recommended when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to save. Whether it’s a broken tooth or impacted wisdom teeth, we use gentle techniques and effective anesthesia to ensure a comfortable procedure.
Clear aligners are a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth without metal braces. These removable trays gradually shift your teeth into better alignment, improving both your bite and the overall appearance of your smile.
Sedation Dentistry With a Nurse Anesthetist
From the moment you walk in, you’ll be welcomed by a warm, friendly team and by Payson, our comforting service dog. We understand dental anxiety is real, which is why we offer sedation through a certified nurse anesthetist for those who need extra support. Dr. Hernandez-Gil takes time to listen, explain your options, and make sure you feel completely at ease before any treatment begins.
General Dentistry FAQs
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients benefit from cleanings and exams every six months. However, Dr. Hernandez-Gil may recommend more frequent visits based on your individual oral health or certain health conditions, or if you are pregnant.
Are exams and cleanings covered by insurance?
In most cases, routine exams and cleanings are covered by dental insurance, as they are considered preventive care. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm what’s included in your benefits. Our team can assist you with verifying your coverage and helping you understand your out-of-pocket costs.
Do you offer cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments?
Yes, Dr. Hernandez-Gil offers a full range of cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments at our Salt Lake City practice. These treatments are designed to address both the appearance and function of your teeth. Whether you're interested in enhancing your smile with Invisalign clear aligners or other cosmetic dental work, or need restorative procedures such as dental crowns, dental bridges, or dental implants, he can help. For patients experiencing discomfort, Dr. Hernandez-Gil provides expert emergency dentistry, including wisdom teeth removal and tooth extractions. No matter your needs, he is dedicated to providing personalized care that restores your smile and your confidence.
