Addressing Painful TMJ Issues

The painful problems you experience with awkward, uneven, and stiff jaw movement can impact your quality of life in ways that are hard to simply ignore.

Fortunately, this is a matter that your Riverside, CA dentist is prepared to address. Through the appropriate review and treatment, we can see to it that your problem with TMJ disorder no longer impacts your quality of life! We can also look at treating any damage from teeth grinding as well as problems with tooth health and structure that might have compromised your bite movements. (more…)

How A Filling Matches Tooth Enamel

Once a cavity forms, will you have to say goodbye to the smile you once knew? Decay’s effect on your tooth structure is not reversible, meaning the tissues lost to damage will not be replaced through natural healing. However, what you can do is receive a durable restoration that protects the structure and also provides cosmetic support. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can provide treatment options for cavities and other problems that negatively impact you. With a lifelike composite resin material, we can actually place dental fillings that blend in with surrounding enamel and go unnoticed. This treatment approach and care with lifelike crowns can ensure that your appearance is not hurt by decay even when that decay forms in a more conspicuous area. (more…)

Dealing With Tartar Accumulation

How effective is your current approach to smile care at fighting tartar? You can protect yourself against its formation, but it will take a visit to the dentist’s office to deal with any buildup that does occur. That accumulation between dental appointments is something that your hygienist can address. During your regular dental visits, this substance is searched for and removed when found in the course of your regular cleanings. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help you protect yourself against different oral health threats by providing regular preventive services. We are also ready to support you at times when more serious issues arise and require attention, and we can provide guidance to help you better defend your teeth between visits. (more…)

Invisalign provides convenience along with discretion, as these appliances are made to go unnoticed and be easy to remove. (more…)

When Gingivitis Impacts Your Health
