General Dentistry
Happy smiles start with healthy mouths, which should ideally be free from tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. The foundation of general dentistry is preventive care. Most of us are aware that we should brush and floss our teeth every day, but none of us are perfect. That is when routine dental checkups become even more essential.
Our dentists help deliver preventive and restorative services, such as teeth cleanings, fillings, x-rays, and sealants. They provide a wide assortment of treatments and procedures, including more complex solutions like root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures and clear aligners.
What are some of the services provided by our Clinic?
Some of the services available at Pacific Highway Dental are:
- Dental Crowns: They offer the best solution to restore beauty and function to your smile in case you have a tooth that is cracked, chipped, misshapen, or discolored. A crown is a customized cap secured over your entire visible tooth to restore it to desired strength, shape, size, and color. They may also be used to strengthen and restore a tooth after a root canal treatment. As the tooth gets weakened, a crown becomes necessary to strengthen the tooth and protect it from further damage.
- Dental Fillings: Cavities happen for numerous reasons, and are not restricted to dental hygiene habits and genetics. A dental cavity may be caused even with the most meticulous tooth brushing routine. Failure to take preventive action such as a filling can lead to more severe dental problems and possible tooth extraction.
- Dental Implants: In case you are missing one or several of your teeth, then dental implants can be an excellent restoration option. Dental implants can be accomplished with customized restorations such as bridges and crowns, or they might also provide support for dentures depending on your individual needs. A dental implant offers a very natural feel and provides optimum function and aesthetic appeal. Dr. Tomar has extensive experience placing dental implants and getting them done at our practice is significantly less expensive than going to a specialist clinic.
- Gum Diseases Treatment: If you have swollen, red or sensitive gums, then you might be suffering from gum disease. Other common signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, loose teeth, bad breath, and tenderness while chewing. This condition can greatly affect your oral health, and getting treated to keep your symptoms under control is crucial to your health. The dentist may advise scaling and root planing, periodontal cleanings, or even gum surgery if required and instruct you on caring for your teeth and gums at home to keep them healthy.
- Dental Bridge: If you are missing a tooth or two, and are not wanting to get an implant, the dentist can design a custom dental bridge for filling the visible gap between your teeth. Apart from the esthetic advantage, a properly designed and cemented bridge will restore your ability to chew and eat properly.
- Dentures: If you are missing several teeth and or have lost teeth in an entire arch, Dr. Tomar and Dr. Patel can make both fixed or removable dentures for you. Properly made dentures are comfortable to wear, and allow you to eat, while also looking esthetically pleasing.
- Teeth Whitening: If you have stained teeth because of smoking or diet, and or generally want to have a brighter smile, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening solutions for bringing the glow back in your smile!
- Clear Aligners: Do you have crooked, crowded or improperly aligned teeth? Our dentists have extensive experience helping patients with orthodontic treatment like Invisalign Clear Aligners. Give us a call today to get a free consultation for Invisalign treatment!
