General Dentistry

If you take proper care of your teeth and gums, you can prevent a number of problems. Follow-up care with our West Hollywood dentist can maintain your oral health. If dental problems do develop, expert care is the key to treating the condition quickly and effectively.

Cavities are one of the most common dental issues that can arise. When tooth decay is removed, you still need to have your cavity filled for the tooth to be completely restored. Our dentist in West Hollywood can use composite materials that are the color of natural teeth to ensure that you will not have a noticeable filling.

When a tooth has been damaged, a root canal procedure will often take care of preserving the tooth by cleaning the pulp chamber and the root canal to effectively remove bacteria. Our West Hollywood general dentist will then fit porcelain crown to the repaired tooth so that it will be protected from further damage and will have sufficient strength to function normally.

Our West Hollywood general dentist will do his or her part to maintain your oral health. All you need to do is to brush and floss properly twice a day.

There are times when a tooth has suffered such extensive damage that it will need to be extracted. If the tooth is still visible above the gum, a simple extraction will take place under a local anesthetic. For those times when a tooth has broken off and is not visible above the gum line, a surgical extraction will be performed. Under local anesthesia or sedation, our general dentist in West Hollywood will make an incision in the gum, and the tooth will be removed.

When a dental extraction is performed, an opening is left behind. A dental implant will sufficiently fill that opening with a prosthetic tooth. If you have several teeth that are missing, a partial bridge will be the dental device that is used to replace them.

Cosmetic treatments are very popular as they are the means by which teeth can be enhanced and smiles can be improved. A tooth whitening procedure or porcelain veneers can do a good deal to create a beautiful smile.

Our general dentist in West Hollywood is always available to readily take care of your teeth and gums, and check them for any signs of problems or diseases.
