General Dentistry

Patients require a variety of general dental services to maintain good oral health throughout life. Essential services include preventive, restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. While preventive and restorative procedures help patients avoid oral health problems and regain their oral health, respectively, cosmetic dental care aims to restore the appearance of smiles. Here is a look at the services that our Los Angeles general dentistry expert provides to area patients.

Our expert in general dentistry in Los Angeles performs cleaning, oral health inspections and general exams during routine visits with patients. With professional cleaning, our dentist removes accumulated tartar, which is difficult to remove at home and can cause tooth decay over time. Our dentist also looks for problems such as gum disease and cancer through visual exams and X-rays, which enable inspection of tissues that are not otherwise visible. Finally, patients can receive treatment with fluoride to prevent future cavities and keep their teeth strong.

When teeth are damaged by tooth decay, gum disease or physical trauma, our Los Angeles female dentist may recommend any of several available restorative options. Our dentist can use tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities, ensuring that patients have an attractive smile. Inlays, onlays and crowns can be used to repair more extensive damage. Finally, our dentist can perform extractions and root canal therapy when necessary.

Patients whose appearance is affected by teeth that are stained, chipped, cracked or poorly positioned can benefit from the cosmetic options offered by our Los Angeles general dentistry expert. Teeth whitening can be used for superficial stains caused by diet and lifestyle choices while veneers or crowns can be used for deeper discoloration. Finally, missing teeth can be replaced with porcelain crowns in combination with dental bridges or implants.
