A tooth that has needed a crown for months, gums that bleed more than they should, or a filling that finally gave out are the kinds of problems that only get more complicated the longer they wait. Hendersonville residents in the 28792 area deserve a dentist willing to treat the actual cause rather than just the symptom in front of them.
Travis J. Calhoun, DDS, has provided general and restorative dentistry from his Asheville practice for more than 30 years, and he welcomes Hendersonville patients who want that same fee-for-service, unhurried approach to dental care. Our office is built around comprehensive general and restorative dentistry, treating everything from a single filling to a more involved restoration under one roof.
Our office sits at 22 Medical Park Drive in Asheville, a drive of roughly fourteen miles from Hendersonville that runs a bit longer than that by road through the surrounding hills. Even so, many of our Hendersonville patients tell us the trip is a fair trade for a dentist who takes the time to explain every recommendation instead of rushing to the next appointment.
We built the practice around general and restorative dentistry because that is what covers the majority of what adult patients need, from a worn filling to a full plan for a smile that requires several kinds of repair. Hendersonville patients get one dentist who can manage that entire range rather than being sent to a different provider for every new issue.
The dental concerns that bring most Hendersonville patients to our office fall into a handful of categories, each handled with the same conservative, explain-first approach.
Deep decay or an infected nerve does not automatically mean losing the tooth. Root canal therapy clears out the damaged inner tissue so the natural tooth can stay in place and keep functioning normally. Dr. Calhoun treats straightforward root canal cases himself and refers more complex situations to a trusted specialist, so Hendersonville patients receive the right level of care for their specific tooth.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that periodontitis affects close to half of American adults aged 30 and older, and left untreated, it becomes a leading cause of tooth loss. Our hygiene team checks closely for early signs of gum disease at every visit and provides deep cleaning for Hendersonville patients whose periodontal disease needs more than a routine cleaning can offer.
Hendersonville patients missing a tooth often ask about dental implants because of how stable and natural they feel. Dr. Calhoun completes the restoration side of implant treatment, placing the crown, bridge, or denture once a trusted oral surgeon or periodontist has placed the implant itself. Our office restores implants; it does not perform the surgical placement.
Choosing to drive past closer options for a fee-for-service dentist is a deliberate decision, and Hendersonville patients who make it are usually looking for care that is not dictated by an insurance company’s rules. We do not accept insurance as payment, but our team files every claim on your behalf, and CareCredit financing is available for patients who want to spread larger treatment costs over time.
