A Root Canal Might Be Needed To Restore Your Dental Health
How are you supposed to deal with a dental problem that causes persistent tooth pain or sensitivity? 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…)
Using A Tooth Bonding Treatment To Hide Dental Damage
It can be frustrating to feel people hone in on a tooth that is chipped, cracked, or discolored by a physical injury.

At our Riverside, CA dental practice, we can evaluate the tooth and determine if this cosmetic dental procedure is right for you. If it is, we can improve your smile by covering flaws without using a custom dental restoration. If necessary, we can recommend another treatment option that will provide a sustained improvement.

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. One problem that can affect your smile is malocclusion, or problems with poor teeth spacing. If your teeth overlap, or if they are too far apart, your smile can look awkward and asymmetrical. 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…)
Scheduling Treatment To Receive A Lifelike Dental Crown
How does a dental crown protect a tooth? Crowns completely cover teeth above the gum line, keeping them safe when they are injured or affected by severe decay.

In addition to providing full dental crowns, we offer inlays and onlays that partially cover teeth and protect them against problems. If you are concerned about a crown’s impact on your appearance, you can be happy to know that restorations made from lifelike porcelain or zirconia are able to imitate healthy tooth structure.

3 Treatments That Can Improve The Look Of Discolored Teeth
Dental discoloration can affect many people, but not all people with this problem have it for the same reason. While it is common for dental discoloration to be connected with teeth stains, some patients who want to do something about the brightness of their smile need to address intrinsic discoloration. This term refers to any problem within the tooth structure that changes the color of your teeth. At our Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we can evaluate your smile to see whether intrinsic discoloration has affected your appearance, or if you are someone who needs to address teeth stains. While teeth whitening treatments are effective at fighting stains, we may need to suggest another cosmetic dental procedure if internal problems are identified. (more…)
