Dental health begins with healthy gums. We customize treatment to ensure your specific periodontal (gums and bone) needs are met. Our highly trained dental hygienists provide the best treatment while making sure you are comfortable. Non-surgical periodontal treatment scaling and planing are handled here in our Aptos office.
Your comfort is of the utmost importance and we take special care to make your dental experience a pleasant one. Nitrous oxide is available and you have a choice of listening to music or watching a movie while your teeth are being restored. We are also a provider of both Oral Sedation and IV Intravenous Sedation for those of you who fear the dentist or have dental anxiety.
A thorough diagnosis and treatment plan will ensure success. We use x-rays, visual examination, digital cameras, models, comprehensive periodontal exams, cancer screenings, and esthetic evaluations to develop the proper diagnosis and treatment plans. Our dentists here in Aptos strive to educate you and make you an active participant in your dental health.
The latest dental materials and techniques allow for beautiful, long-lasting fillings. Here in Aptos we use composite and porcelain to restore teeth to their natural color and strength.
Teeth that have been fractured or chipped are susceptible to further damage.Porcelain dental crowns are used to restore both front and back teeth that have been broken or are at high risk of doing so. Here at our Aptos dentist office we use the latest materials to restore teeth to their natural strength, look, and feel. If a root canal is needed before a crown is installed we can do that too.
Porcelain Dental veneers are a thin covering of porcelain used to enhance the appearance and function of teeth. This is one of the most exciting and rewarding techniques in dentistry today. We are able to produce brilliant smiles by whitening teeth, closing spaces, and by straightening rotated teeth. You can achieve the smile of your dreams in two visits.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. Teeth on both sides of a space are used to anchor the bridge in order to restore function and esthetics. Our Aptos dentist office uses only the best dental labs to produce beautiful, natural restorations.
If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants work by mimicking the structure of natural teeth and like natural teeth, dental implants are secured in the jawbone. Successful dental implants become firmly embedded in the jaw, providing a chewing surface like that of natural teeth. Implants can replace one tooth or multiple teeth depending on the circumstance. Please ask our dentists here in Aptos about this exciting procedure.
Teeth whitening is one of the easiest and most gratifying techniques available today. We treat our patients with in-office whitening and take-home kits depending on the current status of the teeth and desired outcome. The in-office procedure is safe and produces immediate results.
When a patient has several missing teeth, or is missing teeth altogether, a complete denture or partial denture may be necessary. We take time to help patients gain back chewing function and healthy smiles.
