General Dentistry Santa Clara, CA
Giving You Reasons to Smile Again
Earning Trust â One Patient at a Time
Our first goal, from the moment you walk in the door, is to earn a feeling of trust. We believe the absolute best general dentistry we can provide will only take place when there is a strong bond of trust with our patients, and weâre all working together toward the common goals of healthy teeth and gums and a beautiful smile.
A Healthy Smile, A Healthy Body
Did you know that the cause of most tooth loss is not decay? Itâs gum disease. And recent studies have established a link between gum disease and your overall health. The good news is that gum disease can be treated successfully, often without surgery. Our commitment to you includes paying meticulous attention to all of your needs for healthy teeth and gums so you not only look your best but also have optimum overall health.
Oral Cancer â Minimize Your Risk
Itâs an often unknown statistic that oral cancer causes one American death every hour. For 40 years, this mortality rate hasnât changed. But itâs not all bad news. Early detection means a 90% cure rate for oral cancer. Thatâs why we conduct a visual screening for oral cancer at every six-month checkup and cleaning. If the hygienist or doctor sees anything that gives them cause for concern, theyâll refer you to an oral surgeon. This screening could literally save your life!
Protect Your Teeth During Sports
Did you know that 5 million teeth are knocked out each year in the United States alone? Many sports can be dangerous without the proper protection. The one-size-fits-all mouthguards found in stores just donât fit very well. Custom-made sports mouthguards fit well, protect well, and can be worn for any sport.
In-House Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is extensively damaged or infected, or if third molars are impacted, extraction is the solution to the problem. We do most extractions in our office, so you will not be inconvenienced with a referral to another office. Our compassionate manner will make you feel comfortable in our care for this treatment.
Technology:
Intra-Oral Camera
The general dentist in Santa Clara, CA works hand-in-hand with patients to create a bond of teamwork. The amazing intra-oral camera is a miniature video camera that displays a closeup picture of the inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be done and which teeth are doing fine. You then become a participant in each dental decision. Youâll love how this works!
Technology:
Digital X-Rays
Traditional dental X-rays have been âgood enough,â but digital X-rays provide clearer and much more accurate pictures of whatâs going on inside a patientâs mouth. This makes it easier for the doctor to diagnose issues. Leaks or breaks in fillings that used to go unnoticed, often leading to root canals, can now be found and treated before major damage is done. We can also view your entire mouth in one shot, including the upper and lower jaws, with panoramic digital images.
Technology:
Cone Beam Imaging
Cone beam CT digital imaging technology is like a three-dimensional X-ray that is far more accurate than traditional X-rays, takes much less time, and does all this with much less radiation exposure. The dentistâs ability to clearly see the patientâs anatomy in 3-D leads to much greater accuracy for all dental treatment, especially implant placement and any oral surgeries.
