Enjoy a Healthy Smile With Sarasota General Dentistry

Comprehensive general dental care helps keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy for life. While our team is known for providing advanced restorative treatment, we also focus on preserving your natural smile and preventing future problems with preventive care and early detection. Every visit is designed to make you feel comfortable while supporting your long-term oral health.

Our Sarasota general dentistry promotes strong teeth, healthy gums, and overall well-being. Routine checkups and other treatments help prevent decay, detect issues early, and ensure you maintain a confident smile. If you do need smile repair, you can get it from Dr. Shemluck, a Pankey Institute trained dentist who concentrates his practice in cosmetic and functional dentistry.

Protect Your Oral Health With Preventive Care

Regular dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of general dental care, helping you maintain healthy teeth and gums at every stage of life.

During your visits, we use advanced technology - including digital imaging, intraoral cameras, and our fully digital workflow - to detect even the smallest signs of decay or disease. As a prosthodontist, an expert in smile restoration, Dr. Chasolen also looks for signs of problems with your bite and jaw joint that may need to be addressed.

This precise equipment allows for a comfortable experience and early intervention when needed. Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar buildup while polishing your teeth for a fresh, clean feeling.

Regular checkups help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues before they progress. With consistent preventive care, your smile stays bright, functional, and healthy year after year.

Restore Your Gum Health With Comfortable Care

Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile, and our practice provides advanced gum disease treatment to protect your oral health.

We offer scaling and root planing, including laser-assisted therapy, to gently remove bacteria and infection beneath the gumline while promoting healing and tissue regeneration.

Topical antibiotics and antibacterial irrigation further reduce bacteria and inflammation, creating a healthier environment for your gums and bone. This helps prevent the need for more invasive procedures and supports long-term stability.

We also provide other essential general dentistry services, including halitosis (bad breath) and dry mouth treatment, to improve your comfort and freshness. Every treatment is tailored to your needs using advanced technology and precise, conservative care.

I accompanied an elderly friend to a series of appointments to replace a broken denture. At age 99 and a nursing home resident, she is unable to complete this review herself but she is very happy with the care she received. I was very impressed with the office staff, Dr Chasolen’s assistant, Chanel, and Dr Chasolen’s caring manner and skill. I would not hesitate to use his services should the need arise and highly recommend his practice.

I had some dental work done in California and was left with a complete occlusal mess and a great deal of pain. I needed to find a dentist locally who could correct the work- I saw several dentists in Sarasota, and all were either unwilling or unable to help. I finally found Dr. Chasolen who completely changed my life for the better. He assured me he'd do everything he could to make me comfortable again. We worked together for months to correct the improper work and I'm now completely out of pain thanks to his talent and patience. I am forever grateful! I see Sara in his office now for cleanings and she is also wonderful.

I was referred to Dr Chasolen’s office over 14 years ago due to previous dental incompetency that had caused complications that needed Dr Chasolen’s expertise to correct. Dr Chasolen really took on my case, discussed it with a team of other dentist that he consults with and came up with a short term and long term plan. I have had to go through extensive repair work but finally everything is corrected and I have a beautiful smile that also functions properly which is a game changer. His staff has always been so friendly, relatable and professional especially Paula who I have had the privilege to work closely with all these years and has fine tuned my gorgeous restorative caps. The icing on the cake is they play really fun music too, hehe.

Great experience at Dr. Chasolen office today. The office staff and everyone was very informative and helpful. And Dr. Chasolen was very helpful going over the plan for my teeth. My teeth are looking so natural again after my accident. Can’t wait for last visit and final look.
