Choosing Between Invisalign And Metal Braces
Is it time for you to take on problems with poor teeth spacing? Many people have doubts about their appearance because they have gaps between teeth, or because of excess space that acts as a distracting flaw. As you look into treatment, you can find that there is more than one way to approach orthodontic work. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can provide you with information on the use of traditional metal braces, but we can also take the time to discuss Invisalign treatment. With Invisalign, you have a discreet alternative approach to care that fixes spacing problems. While it can be appealing to have access to this kind of approach, there are times when more significant problems with gaps and overlaps will require the corrections made possible with metal braces.

Dental Cleanings, Deep Cleanings, And Your Smile
There are important differences between the kind of oral hygiene efforts you practice at home and the care that your hygienist provides when you come in for a routine exam. What you may not know is that there are different approaches that our Temecula, CA dentist’s office can take to caring for your smile at these appointments. For patients who exhibit signs of gingivitis, we can recommend a deep cleaning instead of the traditional cleaning that is performed at an oral health checkup. By making this change, we can take care of bacteria that are present on areas of your tooth structure covered by your gums. This removes the agents that cause issues with poor periodontal health and prevent the onset of complications that can hurt your smile and overall well-being! (more…)
Completing Cavity Care By Placing A Crown
Does having a crown placed to restore a tooth mean accepting that your smile has to be permanently changed? This can be an understandable concern when you need to undergo treatment for a tooth that is easier to see when you smile and speak. At our Corona, CA dentist’s office, we can provide treatment with a dental crown that can closely resemble your healthy enamel. By placing a restoration that can actually match a natural tooth, you can feel good about your smile and enjoy the functional support offered by your treatment. We provide both partial and full dental crowns, which means that we can personalize care in order to reduce the amount of work on your tooth structure required to complete treatment. (more…)
Dental Visits And Periodontal Health

Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is ready to both offer this feedback on your periodontal health and make treatment available when it is needed.

Booking Teeth Cleanings And Reviews
At every general dental exam that you schedule, you can count on important protection for your smile. When these visits are booked on a consistent basis, they provide you with continued support that lets you lower risks for problems like dental decay and gum disease.

At our Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we can keep you informed about the state of your smile, and we can see to it that any problems that are discovered are promptly treated. We can also help by providing professional teeth cleanings that make new issues less likely to affect you. (more…)
Tooth Bonding And Smile Symmetry
It only takes one small issue with one tooth to disrupt the symmetry of your smile. It can certainly be frustrating to have one relatively minor problem disrupt your appearance in this way, but you should know that this is often an issue that can be fixed conservatively. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can provide treatment in the form of tooth bonding and contouring to fix an issue with the way you look. These services work together to correct issues with tooth shape, size, and color that create unwanted distractions. Because this removes the need for you to have a permanent restoration placed, it can ultimately lead to welcome results that only require minimal changes. (more…)

After meeting with you, we can assess just how severe the problem is, and from there we can recommend the appropriate care to fully resolve it.

Protecting Your Smile By Flossing
When you put the right time and effort into protecting your smile by flossing daily, you can prevent potentially serious problems from occurring. It may be less than surprising to hear that this habit is important for the sake of your dental health, but you may not realize how valuable it can be for your overall well-being. This is the case because by flossing, you take care of your gums, and that means preventing a periodontal infection that can lead to complications that impact your overall health. Our Temecula, CA dentist’s office is ready to help you when it comes to in-office care, and we can provide support by helping you establish and stick to the right daily hygiene routine. Between flossing, brushing, and relying on a healthy diet, you can have an easier time preserving your healthy and lovely smile! (more…)
Receiving A Lifelike Filling
As part of your cavity treatment, your Corona, CA dentist will place a restoration to keep your tooth safe. The type of restoration you receive will depend on how much protection needs to be provided for your tooth. Many times, patients will receive care in time to qualify for treatment with dental fillings. These restorations are more conservative, as they only cover a limited portion of your tooth structure in order to provide the protection needed. Our office can place a dental filling that effectively mimics healthy enamel, so this work will not alter your smile even if the filling is set in a conspicuous location! When necessary, we are prepared to offer more advanced services to ensure that your procedure fully addresses your needs. (more…)
