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.
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.
