How do you know when you have a cavity? You can experience problems with pain or sensitivity as decay starts to worsen, but you can have no idea that you need restorative dental work if you do not schedule regular dental exams. At these appointments, our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is able to recognize when damages to tooth structure need to be addressed. When a problem is caught in time, we can provide treatment with a dental filling that protects your tooth and provides cosmetic support as well as functional protection. Composite fillings actually bond to your enamel, adding remarkable stability. In situations where more severe cavities need to be treated, we can provide larger restorations, including full crowns, to make sure that you have the right support. (more…)

Different Paths To A Whiter Smile
As long as your smile looks dull or discolored, it can be hard for you to show it off with confidence. This problem often arises due to the gradual buildup of enamel stains that are left by different foods and drinks. However, this is not the only reason why you might be affected by discoloration, as internal issues can impact your appearance. At our Corona, CA dentist’s office, we can recommend different cosmetic services to help you deal with this problem. We provide both in-office whitening services and teeth whitening kits that patients can use at home. For people who need to deal with unwelcome changes to their internal tooth structure, we can recommend other services that can make teeth appear brighter. (more…)
Dental Services For Your Kids
In many ways, our oral health care needs do not change as we grow older. Good dental hygiene remains valuable, as the right habits stop the accumulation of bacteria and food debris from causing trouble with cavities. These efforts, combined with regular dental checkups, also help preserve the attractive appearance of teeth and protect our gums from infection. With that said, our needs from the dentist can change through the years, particularly as we pass from childhood to adulthood. Kids need help to learn about what good oral hygiene involves, and they need guidance to learn how they can effectively protect themselves against different dental threats. At our Riverside, CA dental practice, we provide pediatric dental services that tend to the needs of younger patients effectively. Because we provide this support as well as care for adults, we can make sure that all of the people in your household, including you, have the right oral health support on an ongoing basis. (more…)

Smile Care And Tartar Control
If you want to protect yourself against gum disease and tooth decay, make sure you keep your smile safe from tartar buildup.

At our Riverside, CA dental practice, we can make sure your smile is thoroughly supported at every appointment. We can also look out for the warning signs of active dental problems, which we can tend to before there are complications. (more…)

The services we provide include conservative tooth bonding and contouring work that can carefully correct problems caused by injuries, wear and tear, and naturally occurring flaws.

Exams Provide Timely Oral Health Warnings
You may not realize that a cavity has formed until it grows enough to do serious damage to your tooth structure. In this scenario, you may even have to worry about problems with an infection that will have to be addressed. However, when you regularly see your dentist for routine services, you can prevent these kinds of complications. Our Temecula, CA dentist’s office provides many important benefits to patients who regularly arrange dental exams and cleanings. One is that when a problem is present, we can let you know about it, which can lead to the appropriate treatment. Cavities that are caught in time can be addressed with a dental filling, the most conservative treatment option available for someone impacted by dental decay. (more…)
Can A Crown Protect Your Tooth?
If you need restorative dental work, it is important that you have the right support after the trouble with your tooth is addressed. Our teeth need permanent support when a problem requires restorative treatment. In some cases, it will take a dental crown to make sure that the right stability and support are provided. Our Corona, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help patients in these situations. With the custom crown that you receive, you can feel comfortable with your appearance, and you can remain confident that you are able to bite and chew without difficulty. To preserve more of your healthy enamel when taking care of you, we can determine if an inlay or onlay might be able to support your tooth after treatment. (more…)
Booking Routine Teeth Cleanings
How can you make sure you remain safe from cavities? Is brushing and flossing on a consistent basis sufficient for protecting your smile, or are there more steps you should take to prevent problems? If you want to avoid trouble with cavities and other problems, you should make time to see your dentist for regular preventive exams and teeth cleanings. Cleanings provide an important extra degree of support for your health by removing harmful tartar as well as plaque, and by tending to areas that are harder for you to reach. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is here to help you avoid difficulties with your oral health, and we can also provide support if problems are already present and require treatment.
