How Often Should I Visit The Dentist?
It is recommended that you receive a professional dental cleaning and examination at least once every six months. Preventative dentistry is an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile.
Initial Examination
The initial examination includes a visual examination, periodontal probing,
charting, and x-rays, including a panoramic x-ray and bite wing x-rays
of the posterior teeth. Based on the information gained in the examination,
we provide diagnosis and treatment recommendations for any problems that
are found during the examination.
General Dentistry Procedures
Cleanings and oral exams are the cornerstone of maintaining oral health. Regular exams allow our dentists in Sherman Oaks to catch early signs of decay, gum disease, and other dental problems. We offer a wide variety of services in general dentistry, as well as multiple specialties, to help keep your teeth healthy, functioning well, and looking great.
We offer general dentistry procedures that include:
-
Fillings –
Fillings are used to restore decayed teeth. We offer traditional fillings and tooth
colored fillings to create a completely natural look.
- Sealants – Sealants are applied to the teeth to help prevent cavities.
- Tooth Decay Prevention – Our goal is to help our patients keep their natural teeth as long as possible.
- Tooth Extractions – In some situations, it is not possible to save unhealthy teeth and extraction becomes necessary.
- Oral Cancer Screening – Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- TMD or TMJ Treatment – TMD and TMJ causes pain in the jaw and may interfere with biting and chewing. Treatment options are available to reduce pain and correct bite problems.
Too often, people only call the dentist when something is wrong. These patients are missing out on preventative services that can help prevent discomfort and expense in the future. Regular dental visits allow dentists to detect and treat problems early, before they get too serious. Our Sherman Oaks general dentistry services are intended to stay on top of problems and to help our patients restore and maintain oral health. We can help patients of all ages, from pediatric to adults.
