These are simple, effective preventive treatments that protect your teeth from decay but prevention begins at home. Daily tooth care is extremely important — good oral hygiene practices and limiting sugar intake significantly decrease your risk of gum disease, infections, and cavities.
At a dental checkup, your dentist reviews your oral hygiene routine and techniques and offers advice and tips on improving oral care.
General dentistry treatments Las Positas Family Dental offers include:
Fillings repair chipped teeth and cavities caused by tooth decay.
Crowns are artificial tooth caps that replace the top of a diseased or damaged tooth. Bridges replace missing teeth.
Gum (periodontal) disease develops when bacteria in the sticky plaque on your teeth cause inflammation and infection. Without treatment, gum disease can cause your gums to recede (come away from your teeth) and could eventually lead to tooth loss. Gum disease treatments include specialized cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing.
Endodontics or root canals remove pulp and bacteria from inside an infected tooth and seal the space to save the tooth.
Extraction is removing one or more teeth and is typically a last resort when fillings or root canals can’t save your tooth. Your dentist can also remove troublesome wisdom teeth. Las Positas Family Dental offers several choices for replacing lost teeth, including bridges and crowns, dental implants, and partial or complete dentures.
