Santa Monica Family Dentist

Achieving healthy smiles for a family does not have to be difficult. Our Santa Monica family dentist works closely with families to provide excellent dental care and design preventative procedures that prevent the risk of infections, tooth decay, or excess build up of plaque. If dental problems do exist, our dentist has the experience and knowledge to treat common problems and create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for families during a standard visit or during a dental emergency.

Standard Family Dental Procedures

Oral Examination
Before any dental treatment can be started, teeth need to be inspected and evaluated. A thorough examination by our Santa Monica family dentist will reveal oral hygiene routines and any dental complications resulting from improper or inconsistent oral care. The teeth and gum lines are inspected for damage or bacterial growths that can result in gingivitis or oral diseases if not removed correctly. X-rays will also be taken to detect any problems with the teeth that are not visible during an oral exam. Our most advanced digital X-ray system provides valuable information that help prevent diseases and problems with the teeth.

Oral Prophylaxis
Keeping teeth healthy and white can be a challenge for parents and children. The excessive ingestion of sugary drinks and foods can pose potential dental risks to both children and adults. Bacteria forms on teeth quickly and must be removed to prevent the erosion of tooth enamel or tarter build up that leads to yellowed teeth. Our Santa Monica family dentist successfully removes contaminants from teeth for all family members.

Dental Sealants
Teeth need constant protection from bacteria and other contaminants that can slowly damage or erode tooth enamel. This erosion is the main cause of cavities that form on teeth. Our Santa Monica dentist uses a strong sealant to seal cracks or crevasses that can form on teeth that trap food particles or bacteria. The sealant provides a level of protection to block these contaminants and keep teeth healthy. The sealant also provides teeth with a polished exterior. Our Santa Monica cosmetic dentist uses sealants to protect teeth, while keeping their natural look.
