Protecting Your Smile From Nightly Teeth Grinding Issues

There are several actions you can – and should – take if you want to preserve your smile through the years. In addition to protecting yourself against dental decay, you should be concerned about enamel erosion. While our teeth are capable of maintaining their condition for years when biting and chewing food, their condition can grow worse in less time than you expect if you grind your teeth while you sleep. At our Corona, CA dentist’s office, we are prepared to protect you against this habit by providing a custom oral appliance to wear during the night. We can also help by providing treatment options that can address the cosmetic and oral health impact of nightly grinding and clenching. (more…)

Finding A Better Approach To Preventive Care

Did you have to undergo treatment for tooth decay at your last dental exam? Did you receive any recent warnings about gingivitis? Even if you have not struggled with poor dental health in the recent past, it is a good idea to make sure your oral hygiene routine is effective. Changes in our diet, enamel erosion, and other factors can affect our relative risk for cavities and other problems. A routine that was previously good enough to protect you may become less effective. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can offer guidance to help you practice better preventive care in order to avoid future trouble! (more…)

Permanently Restoring A Broken Tooth

Our teeth are strong enough to withstand considerable bite forces, which helps us avoid dental health trouble even as we bite and chew through tougher foods. However, “tough” substances like enamel can still break. If you find yourself with a chipped, cracked, or otherwise broken tooth, know that our Temecula, CA dentist’s office can help you. After an evaluation, we can determine if you might need restorative dental work, or if we can proceed with a more conservative cosmetic dental procedure. In either scenario, we can do work that ensures you will have renewed confidence in your appearance, and that you can still confidently bite and chew without discomfort or the risk of further harm.

What can surprise you is just how much one service can do to improve the way you look, making this a surprisingly convenient treatment experience! (more…)

When Should My Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

Under most circumstances, our goal during restorative dental work is to resolve a problem while preserving your full smile. However, when it comes to wisdom teeth, extraction is typically recommended. Providing this service helps by removing teeth you do not have space to keep. If they are not removed in time, these teeth, also known as third molars, can become impacted, crowd neighboring teeth, and generally cause pain and sensitivity issues. Our Riverside, CA dental practice is ready to safely extract these teeth so that they do not create any unwelcome oral health complications. (more…)
