Fixing Teeth That Are Not In Alignment

Do you have problems with your smile because of poor teeth spacing? This is a problem that many people deal with, and it can make it difficult for you to truly feel comfortable with the way you look. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can recommend an effective solution based on your needs as well as your concerns about what care will involve. For many individuals, Invisalign clear aligners will offer the right results. These appliances make orthodontic work discreet, making it easier to begin and count on to provide the right results. If you are someone who needs a different approach, we can talk to you about the advantages of using metal braces to resolve the cosmetic and oral health issues that can be associated with malocclusion.

How Should Dental Decay Be Treated?

When you brush and floss your teeth, you can protect yourself against different threats. Gum disease, dental discoloration, and more can be effectively defended against when you have the right routine in place.

We Can Offer Lifelike Fillings

If you have a cavity, you will have to arrange a restorative procedure that includes the placement of a filling or crown. The placement of your restoration has to take place because without this support, your tooth remains vulnerable from damage. Does this mean you have to accept that your smile is going to remain unattractive because of a conspicuous filling or crown? A restoration at our Riverside, CA dental practice can actually protect you without changing how you look. To place a filling, we apply a composite resin material that can match your tooth structure while providing long-term protection. (more…)

When You Start To Feel A Toothache

It may be harder than you realize to recognize when something is wrong with your oral health. You can let a cavity go untreated for an extended length of time because the decay is not initially painful, and you can overlook the warning symptoms of gum disease. With that said, there are times when it can actually be hard to ignore the possibility that you need oral health care. When you start to feel a toothache, it can point to an issue with an infection from an advanced cavity, or one that has formed after an injury. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help you deal with this problem. If an evaluation confirms that there is an infection that needs to be cared for, we can provide root canal therapy to make sure that it is fully dealt with. (more…)

You should also be taking advantage of the preventive care provided during your routine oral health exams and cleanings.

How Veneers Differ From Crowns

With the right dental restoration, cosmetic and oral health improvements can be made. At our Corona, CA dental office, we offer different solutions for problems with your smile. If you simply need to address cosmetic concerns, we can use conservative dental veneers to cover up flaws that currently hurt your confidence in how you look. However, if you are someone who is bothered by more than just esthetic issues, we can use dental crowns to address dental damage or wear and tear, cavity issues, or any other troubles that impact your well-being as well as your appearance.

Finding The Right Path To Whiter Teeth

It can be hard to accept that your smile is not as white as it used to be. However, when you realize just how much your appearance has changed over time, it can be difficult to see anything else when you look at your teeth! Are you simply going to be stuck with dull, discolored enamel, or is there something you can do to effectively brighten your smile? With store bought treatments, you can see some improvements, but you can fail to see the results you want. At our Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we can recommend that you come in for a single office appointment, or you can take home a set of whitening trays that can deliver meaningful changes. Before we recommend any treatment approach, we can evaluate your teeth to see if intrinsic discoloration needs to be addressed. (more…)
