A Root Canal Might Be Needed To Restore Your Dental Health

A problem like this should be brought to your dentist’s attention, as you may be in need of root canal therapy. A root canal deals with problems that concern the interior of a tooth. Issues with advanced dental decay or physical tooth trauma can lead to an infection, or to damage within your pulp that will need to be treated. By providing this restorative dental service, your Moreno Valley, CA dentist can put painful oral health issues behind you. We should note that we can also help you prevent problems that call for root canal treatment during routine dental exams, which lead to the early detection and treatment of cavities. (more…)

Including Orthodontic Work In Your Smile Improvement Plan

At our Riverside, CA dental office, we are happy to work with patients who want to make ambitious smile improvements. Many people who have negative feelings about their appearance can have several specific flaws they would like to address.

Even if your teeth are healthy, they can look unattractive because of the way they are positioned. We can perform an evaluation and recommend orthodontic work to help. If you wish to take on more than just the alignment of your smile, we can look at the benefit of following orthodontic work with additional cosmetic dental work. (more…)

In addition to providing full dental crowns, we offer inlays and onlays that partially cover teeth and protect them against problems.
