The implant becomes integrated with the bone and acts like a "bolt" which will ultimately support a new tooth. The advantages of implants for patients with dentures are: denture stability, increased patient comfort and confidence. While an oral surgeon inserts implants themselves, our role is planning placement of implants and restoring the integrated implants after surgery. The goal of modern dentistry is to prevent tooth loss. When a tooth cannot be saved, extraction (removal) of tooth may be the only course of treatment. A panorex x-ray allows us to see a complete picture of the alignment of your jaw, the positioning of your teeth and if there is sufficient space for your third molars (wisdom teeth) to fully erupt. In addition, it is an excellent diagnostic tool for evaluating the supporting bone for possible cysts or tumors. Most minor surgeries are performed at our facility, however the doctor may choose to refer to a maxillofacial surgeon for more complicated cases. While seldom painful and frequently free of any obvious signs or symptoms, periodontal disease can progress, undetected, to the point where supporting bone is destroyed. With 80 to 90% of all teenagers having some form of gingivitis (inflamed gums) and 75% of adult tooth loss for people over the age of 35 due to periodontal disease, early treatment and prevention is essential. While periodontal disease is caused by plaque, a number of other factors including poorly fitting bridges, badly aligned teeth and defective fillings contribute to the development of this condition. Children's specialist (Pedodontists) have a very important function in the dental office. They are doctors that have completed additional training to become children's specialists. As a child's dental needs are different from adult's and are constantly changing, the pedodontist can more accurately aid in the process of children's dental health both in prevention and treatment areas. Cosmetic Dentistry For the smile you have always wanted, cosmetic dentistry can include reshaping your teeth, veneers or bonding, natural looking tooth-colored fillings and bleaching. PORCELAIN VENEERS BLEACHING TEETH "WHITENING" FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION "DRILL-LESS" FILLINGS Our office now offers a gentle new "drill-less" technology that can frequently be used in place of or in conjunction with the drill to make procedures more comfortable. There is no vibration, no whining sound and less need for anesthetic. This technique uses a stream of kinetic particles to prepare teeth for restorations. Instead of grinding away tooth structure like a drill, this technique gently and precisely sprays away decay. This technique allows for early intervention and conservation of healthy tooth structure, it eliminates the need for acid etching when preparing tooth for bonding and it safely modifies dentin and doubles bond strength. While reducing the need for anesthesia, this allows the dentist to treat multiple sites in the mouth during a single visit, adding to efficiency. Laser Dentistry Laser Dentistry is a widely accepted form of advanced treatment. The laser used in dental offices generates a beam of concentrated light into your month. This helps the dentist remove infection and tooth decay with great precision. Lasers are primarily used in dentistry to perform oral surgery and apply treatments to the gum tissue as in periodontal disease. Benefits include less bleeding, decreased sensitivity and a reduced need for injections. These advancements also allow for more patient comfort by providing faster healing, a lower risk of infection and less time in the dental chair. Dentures Many people believe that once they have dentures, they no longer need regular dental care. Denture wearers require regular dental exams to ensure their health, comfort, and appearance. Gum tissues are in constant state of change. Periodic relining of dentures may be necessary to ensure tight and comfortable fit. We provide the services of ONE DAY DENTURES. We have a Dental lab on premises and we can make your dentures in ONE DAY. Crowns A "cap", "jacket", or "crown" will restore a broken, heavily filled or cracked tooth to its original size and shape. This may also be recommended after root canal therapy has been completed, as the tooth tends to become brittle and is more apt to fracture. Crowns strengthen and protect remaining tooth structure and improve the appearance of your teeth. Root Canal Therapy If a tooth's pulp (nerve and blood supply) becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment may be the only way to save the tooth, short of removing it. Root canal treatment consists of removing the nerve that lies within the root of the tooth. Bridges A non-removable bridge can restore your teeth to normal function by replacing missing teeth. It will improve the entire health of your mouth by keeping the surrounding teeth in position and can also help maintain the structure of your face and jaw. ORTHODONTICS "BRACES" For patients, adults and children who have crowded or crooked teeth, spaces between their teeth or misaligned teeth and jaws, orthodontic therapy can help reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and trauma due to protruding teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have an evaluation by 7 years of age. More than 25% of all orthodontic patients are adults. Ninety percent of all people who need orthodontic treatment have crowded or protruding teeth (9 out of 10). You or your child may be in this ninety percent and ready to make an important decision about orthodontic treatment. For many years the traditional method of treating crowded and protruding teeth has included removal of premolar, or bicuspid teeth. While this method has saved many patients form disfiguring overbites, a new and superior method of treating crowded and protruding teeth, based on careful research and analysis, has been adopted by a growing number of doctors in both Europe and North America. Another advantage of this treatment is the relatively short span of time takes to see results. Average treatment last anywhere from one year to eighteen months. You deserve a smile that is not only beautiful but functional, smile that reflects a healthy confident self-esteem. Our goal is to provide comprehensive orthodontic care in a friendly fun-loving environment. We hope to enhance self-confidence by creating a harmony amongst facial form, teeth, and jaws, joints and muscles that reflect attractiveness and health. A healthy attractive smile is priceless. The greater portion of the population remembers your smile when they look at you. We want to help make that first impression count. It is our belief that every patient's case is unique and that no one type of orthodontic treatment fits everybody. Our goal is to treat each patient as an individual to the most esthetic, functional and stable result possible in the shortest possible time with comfort and care. We as an ortho team continually strive to provide, with the cooperation of our patients and their family dentist, beautiful smiles and healthy bites, by performing excellent orthodontic treatment with state of the art appliances, techniques and skilled employees in an office environment where, the patients and parents, doctors and staff will enjoy coming everyday.Orthodontic Services CONVENTIONAL BRACING TREATMENT Full fixed brace treatment.

LINGUAL "Concealed" " Invisible" BRACESLingual braces also known as Concealed, Invisible braces are the only non-visible form of fixed orthodontic therapy. Special instrumentation, equipment, doctor and staff training are required for this technique. These braces can be used on both arches or on combination with outside clear braces on the lower teeth as shown in the following picture. Lingual braces is a highly technical (and therefore very demanding) method of treating crooked teeth, offered routinely only by four or five other orthodontists in the Southern California area. Usually braces are glued on to the front surfaces of the teeth where you can readily see them. Most adults are really embarrassed by crooked teeth. Crooked teeth with braces on them are a nightmare for adults. When I first began to offer clear transparent braces my adult patients breathed a sigh of relief. But when I began to offer them lingual braces they were not only relieved they were ecstatic! Imagine braces that were glued to the back of the teeth. Adults who put them on would tell me how they would go to a party and tell people who were virtually strangers about their new lingual braces and then casually show them of like a kid with a new bicycle. Lingual braces had become a fashion statement, something to be proud of, a badge of distinction, in a word - "classy". Six years ago when I first started to offer lingual braces it was like being a pioneer exploring an exciting and dangerous new frontier. It demanded unusually long appointments (30-90 minutes), new sorts of instruments (more expensive), and totally different head and hand positions (awkward and cramped), and getting used to another kind of patient (quirky). Even today when I'm setting up to insert or adjust lingual braces on a patient in mentally morph myself as though preparing for competition in an Olympic event. It's like a jeweler trying to work on the inside of a small watch that is wet, dimly lit, moves, and has an attitude besides! Initial discomfort with lingual braces (sore tongue and minor speech problems) is more of a problem, but patients seem to readily leap those hurdles. One problem that is sometimes bothersome to me occurs when patients forget they have to refocus their brushing efforts on the inside of the teeth and gums become swollen and interfere with adjustments. On the other hand, the lingual brace appliance is a particularly useful tool for correcting problems involving very deep overbites, which are frequent in an orthodontist's office. CASES TREATED WITH LINGUAL (INVISIBLE) BRACES Before After Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ's ) about Lingual (Concealed) Braces ARE LINGUAL BRACES MORE UNCOMFORTABLE THAN OUTSIDE     BRACES?Initial discomfort is similar to that of outside braces. The difference is that the lingual braces will affect the tongue and conventional braces affect the cheeks and lips. Patients take approximately 1-4 weeks to achieve a good comfort level. DOES TREATMENT WITH LINGUAL BRACES TAKE LONGER THAN OUTSIDE BRACES? No, treatment time is comparable to that of outside braces and sometimes even shorter. Some cases respond more efficiently to lingual braces due to certain mechanical advantages of the appliance.
