Dentist Brentwood | Cosmetic Dentist Brentwood CA
You need to visit a dentist as much as you visit your general practitioner, maybe even more. Teeth and gums are more prone to diseases because of the bacteria living in the mouth and occasional lack of hygiene, usually contributed to by laziness in brushing and flossing. Our Brentwood dentist focuses on keeping your teeth and gums healthy, and does so by performing treatments such as:General Dentistry
The main focus of our general dentist in Brentwood is first preventing teeth and gum diseases, and then treating the existing conditions. Regular X-rays and examinations let our dentist determine the condition of teeth and gums, professionally clean the teeth and gums, and provide the required treatments if any source of concerns were found. He also performs some cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as tooth whitening, and restorative dentistry treatments such as root canal, white fillings and porcelain crowns and veneers to also maintain the strength and beauty of the teeth.Pediatric Dentistry
If you think kids do not need to visit the dentist as much as adults do, you are mistaken. Kids are more prone to many dental diseases, such as tooth decay and cavities, and mostly suffer from misalignment of teeth and jaw. Our Brentwood pediatric dentist always reminds parents of the importance of regular dental visits for their kids. Many dental problems can be prevented in the first place if the dentist has the chance to work on your kids teeth, and the sooner alignment problems are treated the better. Your kids will also learn not to fear going to the dentist.Orthodontic Treatments
Alignment problems with teeth and jaw make it hard to eat and embarrassing to talk or smile. On the other hand, when teeth are crowded or overlap, it is much harder to brush and floss them effectively and that increases the possibility of being affected by diseases. Our cosmetic dentist in Brentwood usually uses braces to correct these problems. Braces are very effective especially for kids, but although they are less noticeable and bulky than before, many adults tend to avoid using them. For these adults, Invisalign aligners are the best solution.Periodontic Treatments
When we become lazy in brushing and flossing effectively, plaque and tartar accumulate on the teeth and gumline and turn into something harder, called calculus, over time. Calculus is a great environment for bacteria to gather and grow and that causes inflammation and tenderness of the gums, called gingivitis. Once gingivitis progresses to periodontitis, the full-blown form of periodontal disease, damage to gums and teeth structures is inevitable. Despite that, our Brentwood periodontist can treat the condition and bring health back to teeth and gums, although the sooner the better.Restorative Dentistry
When teeth are damaged, you can’t just let them be; you need to get a dentist to treat them as soon as possible. Also if you are missing some teeth, the gaps they create let the neighbor teeth to shift and that causes other problems with the teeth. Our restorative dentist in Brentwood uses root canal therapy, porcelain veneers and some other treatments to repair damaged teeth. He also uses dental implants, fixed bridges and dentures to replace missing teeth. The replacement method depends on the number of the teeth missing and their location, but the result is nonetheless perfect.Cosmetic Dentistry
