Treatment

Dental services in Oakhurst.

Most dental care comes down to two things: preventing problems and rebuilding teeth that have already been damaged. We do both here, and the pages below explain what each treatment involves, when it helps, what the trade-offs are, and what usually happens if treatment waits. If you're in pain right now, start with dental emergencies or call us at (559) 683-4694.

  • Preventive Dentistry

    Exams, cleanings, x-rays and home care guidance, aimed at finding problems while they are still small and simple to treat.

    • Exams & Cleanings
    • X-Rays
    • Home Care
    • Brushing & Flossing

  • Cosmetic Dentistry

    Veneers, whitening, porcelain restorations and bonding, with conservative planning and shade matching that keeps the result looking natural.

    • Porcelain Veneers
    • Teeth Whitening
    • Porcelain Crowns
    • Porcelain Bridges
    • Composite Fillings

  • Restorative Dentistry

    Treatment for teeth that are broken, infected or already missing, aimed at restoring normal function with the smallest repair that will last.

    • Dental Implants
    • Crowns & Caps
    • Fixed Bridges
    • Dentures & Partials
    • Root Canal Therapy

  • Periodontal Care

    Gum disease is often painless in its early stages and is a leading cause of adult tooth loss. It responds well to treatment when it is caught early.

    • What Is Gum Disease?
    • Diagnosis
    • Treatment
    • Maintenance

  • Sleep Apnea Treatment

    If a physician has diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea and CPAP is difficult to tolerate, a custom oral appliance is a recognized alternative to ask about.

    • Oral Appliances

  • Orthodontics

    Crowded or shifted teeth can be harder to clean and can wear unevenly, so alignment is a health question as well as a cosmetic one.

    • Clear Aligners

  • TMJ and Jaw Pain

    Jaw pain, clicking, morning headaches and worn teeth can be related. Many cases respond to conservative treatment, and evaluation comes first.

  • Dental Emergencies

    What happens in the first hour can affect whether a tooth is saved. Call the office, and start with the first-hour instructions on this page.

How we decide

How we make treatment decisions together.

There's often more than one reasonable way to treat a tooth. The right choice depends on how much healthy structure remains, the forces your bite places on the tooth, what you can maintain at home, and your own preferences.

  1. Diagnosis before treatment

    We start by finding the cause of the problem. That takes an examination, images, and in many cases tests of the nerve inside the tooth.

  2. Stabilize before rebuilding

    We treat active decay and gum disease before cosmetic or complex work begins, because restorative work placed over active disease tends to fail early.

  3. Keep as much tooth as possible

    Enamel doesn't grow back. When a smaller restoration will last, that's what we recommend, and when it won't, we'll explain the reasons and the alternatives.

  4. Explanation before decisions

    We'll go over what we found, what your options are, what each one costs, and what usually happens without treatment. The decision is yours, and when a case is better suited to a specialist's training, we'll recommend a referral.

We'd be glad to see you.
