While dental health is obviously important, a person can become self-conscious about a healthy smile when they have noticeable issues with discolored, worn, or misshapen teeth. If you have several teeth with appearances that make you unhappy, or if you have more than one problem to address, you may worry that the process of improving your appearance will be involved. What you can find is that porcelain veneers provide a conservative solution for multiple issues in just one treatment. These custom porcelain shells are capable of transforming the way your teeth look, effectively giving you a bright, uniform smile that you are eager to show off in pictures or in person. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office can evaluate your teeth to determine how veneers can help.

The Arrival Of Wisdom Teeth Can Hurt – We Can Help!
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to arrive, and for many people that arrival is not a welcome one.

This can lead to pain, and it can even interfere with the alignment of your smile! At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we are prepared to deal with wisdom teeth before they cause problems. Through oral surgery, we can actually remove wisdom teeth safely before their eruption creates trouble with your oral health. Make sure you stay consistent with your oral health exams to stay informed about their potential arrival, as this gives you the opportunity to schedule care before problems arise. (more…)

Have You Underestimated The Value Of Good Flossing Habits?
If you underestimate the benefits of flossing, you can have an easier time skipping it, or leaving it out of your oral care routine entirely. By doing this, you increase your risk for problems with tooth decay as well as gum disease, plus you make yourself more susceptible to a buildup of tartar! As thorough as you can (and should) be while brushing, it will be difficult for you to effectively clean the spaces between teeth without flossing. Unfortunately, while these spaces are difficult to reach with brush bristles, bacteria and bits of food can find their way in and create problems that call for restorative dental work. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office can provide guidance on better oral care during routine dental exams, just as we can offer work during your visit that protects you from potential problems. (more…)

We can also help with matters concerning daily care by giving kids guidance on the value of their oral health.
