Treatment

Everything we do, and what each one is actually for.

Most of dentistry is one of two jobs: stopping a problem before it starts, or rebuilding something that has already been damaged. The pages below explain what each treatment involves, when it is the right answer, what the trade-offs are, and what happens if you wait. If you are in pain right now, start with dental emergencies or call (559) 683-4694.

  • Preventive Dentistry

    The least expensive dentistry is the dentistry you never need. Exams, cleanings, imaging and coaching that keep small problems small.

    • Exams & Cleanings
    • Digital X-Rays
    • Home Care
    • Brushing & Flossing

  • Cosmetic Dentistry

    Cosmetic work should look like nobody did anything. Conservative planning, natural shade matching and restorations built to last.

    • Porcelain Veneers
    • Teeth Whitening
    • Porcelain Crowns
    • Porcelain Bridges
    • Composite Fillings

  • Restorative Dentistry

    When a tooth is broken, infected or missing, the goal is the same: restore normal function with the most conservative option that will actually hold.

    • Dental Implants
    • Crowns & Caps
    • Fixed Bridges
    • Dentures & Partials
    • Root Canal Therapy

  • Periodontal Care

    Gum disease is painless until it is not. It is also the most common reason adults lose teeth, and it is highly treatable when it is caught early.

    • What Is Gum Disease?
    • Diagnosis
    • Treatment
    • Maintenance

  • Sleep Apnea Treatment

    If you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and CPAP is not working for you, a custom oral appliance is a recognized alternative.

    • Oral Appliances

  • Orthodontics

    Crowded teeth are harder to clean and wear unevenly. Alignment is a long-term health decision that happens to look good too.

    • Invisalign

  • TMJ and Jaw Pain

    Jaw pain, clicking, morning headaches and worn-down teeth usually share a cause. Most cases respond to conservative treatment.

  • Dental Emergencies

    What you do in the first hour often decides whether a tooth can be saved. Call us, and start here while you are on the way.

How we decide

Conservative first, and only what the tooth actually needs.

There is almost always more than one reasonable way to treat a tooth. The right one depends on how much healthy structure is left, what your bite does to it, what you can maintain, and what you want.

  1. Diagnosis before treatment

    Nothing gets treated until we know what is wrong and why. That means an exam, images, and in many cases tests of the nerve inside the tooth. Guessing is expensive.

  2. Stabilize, then rebuild

    Active decay and gum disease get handled before anything cosmetic or complex. Building on an unstable foundation is how good dentistry fails early.

  3. Keep as much tooth as possible

    Enamel does not grow back. Where a smaller restoration will hold, that is what we do. Where it will not, we say so rather than buying a year at the cost of the tooth.

  4. You hear the whole picture

    What we found, what your options are, what each one costs, and what happens if you do nothing. Then you decide. If a case belongs with a specialist, we will tell you that too.

Ready when you are.
