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…)

Answering Questions About Gingivitis
If you want to take better care of your smile, you may want to start asking questions about the different threats to it. Overlooking the threat of gum disease can lead to several problems, including a heightened risk for tooth loss! As bacteria build up on your roots, they can cause pockets around your teeth to form, leading to the spread of more harmful microbes and damage to the supportive tissues that help teeth remain in position. At our Temecula, CA dentist’s office, we can support you in your efforts to prevent these issues, and we can offer guidance on practicing better care at home to avoid them in the future. (more…)
Our Practice Can Straighten Crooked Smiles
There are different concerns about your smile that you can readily bring to your dentist’s attention.

We offer care with traditional braces as well as alternative appliances like Invisalign. We should note that there are times when this kind of work is not needed, as it will be possible to hide gaps or overlaps through cosmetic dental services. (more…)
