If you're looking to contact a general dentist in Southern California, then you've come to the right place!

Our general dentist in Southern California can perform a variety of dental services. 

During a dental cleaning, our dentist will remove plaque and calculus from your teeth and below the gum line. This treatment helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. During a cleaning, we also take the time to show you effective ways to brush and floss at home.

During a dental exam, our general dentist will perform a physical exam, make recommendations for prevention, and diagnose any problems that you may be having. Diagnostic x-rays may also be taken, if appropriate.

If it has been longer than six months since your last dental exam, talk to our general dentist in Southern California.

X-rays produce images of your teeth and jawbones. These images help our general dentist in Southern California decide whether you need a root canal, tooth extraction, or other dental treatment. We will address the problem immediately if we discover that you need such treatment. This saves you time and money since you won't have to schedule more appointments to get the treatment you need.

Fillings (also called restorations) are a type of treatment used to fix teeth that have been affected by tooth decay or cavities. The dentist in Southern California will remove the decayed portions of the tooth and fill it with the material. The filling will both protect the remaining tooth structure and restore the tooth to its normal shape and function.

There are several types of filling materials available, including amalgam, resin, and composite (tooth-colored) fillings. Our dentist in Southern California can help you determine which type of filling is best for your needs.

A crown is a tooth-shaped restoration that covers the top part of a damaged tooth above the gum line. It is an ideal restoration for teeth that have experienced large restorations. It is also recommended to follow a root canal.

A dental bridge is a prosthetic tooth that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. A false tooth is held in place by crowns that are placed over the remaining teeth on both sides of the gap. The false tooth is called a pontic and is fused between two crowns. This type of prosthetic is used when the gap is too large for a dental implant.

If you've lost a tooth, an inlay or onlay may be a good treatment for your tooth. An inlay is for a front tooth, and an onlay is for a tooth that's either front or back.

Both inlays and onlays are made from porcelain or composite resin. This material can be color-matched to your teeth so that your restoration is as invisible as possible. The inlay or onlay is bonded to your tooth, replacing the missing part of your tooth.

Dental implants are a great general dentistry treatment that can replace missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is inserted into the jaw bone and can be seen through the gums. The post bonds with the bone and acts as an anchor for the prosthetic tooth. Dental implants in Southern California are an excellent choice for many patients, but they may not be best for everyone.

Dentures are a type of restoration that replaces all teeth in the dental arch. Partial dentures replace multiple teeth, but not all of the teeth in the dental arch. Partial dentures are secured in place with metal clasps that fit around existing teeth.
