care of your smile, but also your body. We subscribe to the philosophy and practice of Complete Health
Dentistry, which integrates several areas of dentistry—prevention, restoration, and periodontal therapy—in
order to unite the mouth and body. Complete Health Dentistry can help you avoid a number of serious bodily
illnesses and diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and even Alzheimer’s.
Let the polished dental team help you and your loved ones keep your whole, healthy, natural smile for a
lifetime. We offer state-of-the-art diagnostic, preventive, and general dentistry services to ensure
patients receive conservative care through early diagnosis and careful treatment planning. If you’ve
struggled to keep your oral health at its best due to gum disease, we offer advanced periodontal therapies
to renew your smile. Schedule a dental checkup with our team to discover the difference of exceptional
dental care.
Don’t settle for a smile that is broken or missing teeth. Let us renew your oral health and fill the gaps in
your smile with dental crowns and fixed bridges. These durable restorations allow our team to preserve and
protect healthy tooth structure following decay or damage. The process is simple, comfortable, and quick. We
also offer a wide array of restorative treatments to repair even the most damaged smile to full function and
flawless beauty.
Custom-Made Nightguards for Bruxism Teeth Grinding
Do you grind or clench your teeth at night? During the day? Many patients experience chronic nighttime teeth
grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, from a young age. While this may seem like a relatively harmless
habit, patients can actually experience a number of oral health issues as a result of untreated bruxism. Let
us help you stop nighttime teeth grinding and protect your teeth from unnecessary wear with comfortable,
custom-made nightguards.
Ready to straighten your crooked or unevenly spaced smile, but not ready to commit to years with a mouth
full of metal brackets and wires? Schedule an Invisalign® consultation with our Carlsbad, CA cosmetic
dentist. Invisalign® uses a series of alignment trays to shift teeth into their ideal position over the
course of about a year without the hassle of frequent, lengthy orthodontist appointments or changes to diet
and oral hygiene. Best of all—they’re completely clear!
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or a full arch of teeth, there’s a dental implant-retained tooth
replacement option to meet your needs. This versatile, restorative treatment makes it possible for us to
provide a more natural replacement solution as the entire tooth (roots and crowns) are replaced. Find out
more during a dental implant consultation, or explore our variety of other tooth replacement solutions.
Don’t hesitate to contact our team with questions any time.
Chips, stains, cracks, and gaps. Overtime, even the most careful patient can experience one or more of these
signs of dental wear. The good news is: you don’t have to live with the smile flaws you see in the mirror
every morning. Instead, let us conceal any number of cosmetic imperfections instantly with porcelain
veneers. In just two short treatment visits, patients can completely transform even the most damaged teeth
to picture-perfect smiles.
