Simply put, our practice works to help patients preserve healthy, happy smiles while attempting to minimize any changes to their tooth structure. Through consistent preventive care, we can keep you from experiencing the kinds of problems that require the placement of dental fillings and dental crowns. If you do find yourself in need of help because of a cavity, we will look for the most conservative treatment approach that we can count on to protect you. In some cases, treatment will require a root canal procedure. By providing this service, we address problems within the tooth structure that arise when bacteria make their way into your pulp. Our Moreno Valley, CA dental practice can provide this and other advanced services when necessary for supporting our patients’ oral health needs. (more…)
Dealing With Erupting Wisdom Teeth
Typically, teeth are only removed when there are no other options for treatment. However, wisdom teeth are regularly extracted, and they are not replaced. What makes these teeth different than the rest is that our mouths typically lack space for them. When they begin to erupt, these third molars can press against neighboring teeth, which can create problems with crowding, do damage to your enamel, and cause these teeth to shift and become painfully stuck in harmful positions. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can help patients who find themselves experiencing this kind of trouble. The sooner we identify concerning movement of your third molars, the sooner we can make sure that they are safely extracted! (more…)
Taking On Intrinsic Discoloration
You may assume that all problems with dental discoloration are treated with teeth whitening agents, but in some cases, a different approach is required. Why would your dentist recommend you do something else to deal with teeth that are dull and unsightly? You may have what is referred to as intrinsic discoloration, which means that a problem within your tooth structure has led to a visible color change. At our Riverside, CA dental practice, we can evaluate you to see if this is something that should concern you. If so, we can recommend a procedure that can give you the results you want, which means you can once again show off a bright and lovely smile! (more…)

Addressing A Loose Crown
It should be easy for you to bite down on a crown with confidence. After all, these restorations are intended to provide lasting support for teeth that have undergone treatment. When present, they are able to cover the vulnerable tooth while also acting in its place to take on the pressure from biting and chewing, which means you can maintain your natural dental function. If you have a restoration that begins to feel loose, you can be understandably worried about it, and you can also feel some unease about the lack of protection for your tooth. At our Corona, CA dentist’s office, we can meet with you to address the problem before it worsens. We can also check on your restorations during your regular dental exams to spot problems before they start to affect your quality of life. (more…)
Discomfort And Your Dental Health
You may not realize when you have a problem with your oral health. At a routine exam, you may be surprised to hear that you need treatment for gingivitis, or that you have a cavity that requires our attention. Of course, there are times when poor oral health can affect you in your daily life. Discomfort and sensitivity issues that affect a specific tooth can point to a potentially serious cavity. Meanwhile, problems with general discomfort in your face and jaw can point to TMJ disorder, which refers to issues with the poor alignment and movement of your jaw. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we are prepared to take on these problems. By taking action as soon as you are aware that something is wrong, you can prevent further difficulties that require more involved services. (more…)
Reassuring Details About Restorative Care
How upset should you be to learn that you need restorative dental work?

Have You Looked Into Implant Dentistry?
If you are currently living with an incomplete smile, you can be well aware of how much impact a tooth’s loss can have on your appearance, bite function, and general oral health. The problem can worsen as more teeth are lost, but a single gap is enough to create frustrating complications. Fortunately, when you take on the matter, you can see many benefits for your oral health and well-being. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can recommend implant dentistry for patients who have experienced this problem. A dental implant set directly in the jawbone can provide permanent support for a replacement tooth. With that arrangement, you can enjoy better support for your bite, feel better about your smile, and generally enjoy better oral health! (more…)
Keeping Your Gums Healthy
What does your smile care routine involve, and is it really giving you the protection that you need? Your approach to both brushing and flossing should see you take on the potential buildup of plaque and food debris at the base of your teeth. When you neglect this area, you are more likely to experience problems with gingivitis that can turn into more serious troubles with gum disease! Our Temecula, CA dentist’s office is able to help patients who do show signs of poor periodontal health. Instead of providing a standard teeth cleaning that stops at the gum line, we can remove harmful microbes from the roots of your teeth in order to stop an infection from progressing. Remember that your routine preventive visits help you avoid future problems with gingivitis as well as dental decay, and should be part of your overall smile care regimen even when you feel you have no active problems to worry over.
