General dentistry is the foundation of every smile, comprehensive preventive, diagnostic, and restorative care that keeps your teeth, gums, and bite healthy for the long term. At SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens, general dentistry is delivered by Columbia University-trained dentists Dr. Arthur Volker and Dr. Aadel Soleymani with the same precision, care, and attention to detail that define our cosmetic and restorative work.
What General Dentistry Includes
General dentistry at SOL Dental Arts includes routine exams, hygiene cleanings, digital x-rays when indicated, oral cancer screening, gum health evaluation, tooth-colored fillings, nightguard screening, treatment of chips or cavities, and monitoring of older dental work before small problems become larger ones.
Why Routine Care Matters
Most dental problems are easier to treat when they are found early. A small cavity may need a conservative bonded filling; a larger untreated cavity may eventually need a crown, root canal, or extraction. Early diagnosis gives patients more conservative options.
Exams & Hygiene
Most patients benefit from a dental exam and professional cleaning about every six months, while patients with gum disease risk or heavy buildup may need a shorter interval. We evaluate teeth, gums, soft tissue, bite, existing restorations, and any areas of sensitivity or wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Different From Silver Fillings?
Tooth-colored composite fillings are bonded to the tooth, blend invisibly with surrounding enamel, and preserve more healthy tooth structure than silver fillings — which require deeper preparation and can crack teeth over time. We don't place new silver fillings.
What If I Haven't Been To The Dentist In Years?
You're not alone. We see new patients all the time who haven't been in for a long time. Our exam is thorough and judgment-free; we'll tell you what we see, prioritize what needs attention first, and build a phased plan around your goals.
What Does A Comprehensive Dental Exam At Sol Dental Arts Include?
Your first visit includes digital x-rays as needed, a periodontal (gum-health) evaluation, an oral cancer screening, a bite and TMJ check, smile photography for treatment planning, and a personalized treatment plan discussion. We allow extra time on first visits so we can answer your questions thoroughly and identify cosmetic or restorative priorities, not just immediate problems.
Do You Treat Patients From Astoria, Sunnyside, Long Island City, & Other Queens Neighborhoods?
Yes. While SOL Dental Arts is located in Maspeth (66-45 Grand Avenue, 11378), patients commute from across Queens — including Astoria, Sunnyside, Long Island City, Middle Village, Ridgewood, Glendale, Elmhurst, Forest Hills, and Woodside — as well as from Brooklyn and Long Island. The practice is easily accessible by car or local transit.
What's The Difference Between General Dentistry & Cosmetic Dentistry?
General dentistry covers preventive and restorative care — cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, gum-health work, and emergency treatment. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of teeth — porcelain veneers, composite bonding, professional whitening, smile design. Our team offers both types of care and considers your dental health when planning cosmetic treatment.
