General Procedures

• Hygiene

Tooth cleaning by a professional will remove discolorations and soft plaque from your teeth, and give them a polish. If you have not had your teeth cleaned in a long time, the dentist might recommend other procedures that will remove deposits of plaque, tartar and abnormal tissue under the gum line.

• Periodontal Treatment

Gum infection and diseases should be treated right away, as they are the major cause of tooth loss. Your dentist will be able to tell if you have gum disease, and what can be done to prevent or reverse it.

• Dental Surgery

This includes common procedures such as root canal surgery and wisdom tooth extraction. Cosmetic Procedures

• Dental Bonding and Veneers

Certain problems in your teeth’s appearance can be fixed by bonding or veneers: gaps between the teeth, chipped teeth, discolorations, crooked teeth or obvious fillings. Bonding can usually be done in one visit, while putting in veneers can take two or three visits. These procedures are painless and can vastly improve your smile.

• Tooth Whitening

Our Oakland dental clinic can either whiten your teeth in the office, or provide you with a whitening kit that you can use at home. Both will result in teeth that are several shades lighter, and the result can last years. The dentist will first assess if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening, then he will inform you about your options.

Implant Procedures

• Implants

Implants are artificial roots that are inserted into your jawbone where your missing tooth should be. A crown is placed over it that simulates your original tooth.
