General Dentistry

Dental care begins at home with brushing and flossing. But good care continues in the office of our Studio City dentist, who will examine your teeth and do professional cleanings several times a year as a way of keeping the teeth and gums healthy.

There may be occasions when a tooth will become badly damaged and may require a root canal in order to be saved. With this type of treatment, an opening through the crown of the tooth allows our dentist in Studio City to properly clean the pulp chamber and root canal. A porcelain crown will then be placed on the tooth to protect it and also keep it strong for future use.

When a tooth is damaged to the point where it cannot be saved, a dental extraction is then necessary. If the tooth is visible above the gum, a simple extraction will be done by our Studio City general dentist. But if the tooth has been damaged in such a way that it does not show above the gum line, then a surgical extraction will be done.

Our Studio City general dentist can help you with all of your dental needs, from simple enhancement of the teeth to complicated treatments of gum disease.

Once a dental extraction has been performed, you will need a replacement for your tooth. Dental devices such as implants and bridges are used to replace missing teeth. If you have one tooth that is gone, a dental implant will be used. For more than one tooth, a partial fixed bridge is used.

Cavities are filled with composite material that is tooth-colored. In this way, you will have a tooth that does not appear to have a filling. White fillings work especially well in teeth that are very visible, such as those in the front.

Cosmetic procedures, such as a tooth bleaching, porcelain veneers and Invisalign aligners, are all ways to enhance the teeth and improve the smile.

Periodontal disease can also be effectively treated by our general dentist in Studio City. A scaling and root planing procedure will work for less severe cases of disease, and advanced gum disease will respond from a surgical treatment.

When something goes wrong with your teeth, our general dentist in Studio City is the dentist that can help you and restore your teeth back to full health.
