- Dental ExaminationAttend all appointments as recommended. In addition to attending orthodontic appointments, you should also schedule regular cleanings and exams.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningWhen you arrive, our dental office staff will offer a warm greeting and gather any paperwork you have for us. Our hygienist will escort you to the treatment area and introduce you to Dr. Reintjes. Initially, we will take X-rays, intraoral photos, and a blood pressure reading. During an exam, our team will perform an oral cancer screening, a periodontal analysis, a full-mouth evaluation, and a thorough cleaning. Dr. Reintjes will explain his findings and discuss a treatment course with you. He’ll answer all of your questions and work with you to design a plan that suits your unique goals and lifestyle.
- Teeth CleaningWith children's dentistry, we focus on teaching children about their teeth and encouraging them to develop strong home habits. Proper brushing and flossing will go a long way in protecting their smiles. Plan to bring your child to our dental office for the first official visit around age three. During this appointment, we will take X-rays, check their teeth, and perform a gentle cleaning. Dr. Reintjes will also address any developmental concerns through comprehensive children's dentistry in Fresno, CA.
- Fluoride TreatmentIs your child getting the fluoride they need to keep their smile healthy and strong? Most of the time your little ones should be able to get plenty of fluoride from tap water as well as the various foods they eat. Should we determine that they need a little extra protection, however, we can apply concentrated fluoride directly to their teeth during their checkup. A typical fluoride treatment will only take a few minutes, but your child will be enjoying the benefits for a very long time.
- Dental SealantsIt’s important to make sure that your child’s teeth are as well protected as possible while they’re still developing. Unfortunately, many children face difficulties while brushing and flossing, and they have a particularly hard time keeping their molars clean. By applying a clear coat of plastic material known as a dental sealant over at-risk teeth, we can give your little one an additional layer of protection against decay. Dental sealants can last for as long as 4 years at a time.
- FillingsMany people have experienced cavities in their lifetime. According to the CDC, more than 90% of Americans that are age 20 or older have had at least one. Unfortunately, it’s also been reported that more than a quarter of American adults are struggling with untreated cavities. If left unchecked, tooth decay can lead to serious complications such as severe toothaches and oral infections. To treat cavities and prevent future concerns, Dr. Byron L. Reintjes offers tooth-colored fillings in Fresno. This treatment can repair decayed pearly whites or replace amalgam fillings to provide the seamless results you deserve. Read on to learn more or give us a call to schedule your appointment!
- Resin CompositeDirect bonding uses a composite resin material, or a mixture of fine particles of glass and acrylic. Dr. Reintjes can apply this material to your problem teeth to sculpt them into the desired shape, size, and color. The resin is custom chosen to match the existing color of your tooth enamel or even correct serious stains. If you have any of the following cosmetic imperfections in your pearly whites, you may be a good candidate for direct bonding...
- VeneersIf cracked, chipped, or stained front teeth detract from your appearance, consider dental veneers or Lumineers. These thin porcelain shells are bonded to front teeth and can transform any smile. With a translucency that mimics real enamel, veneers and Lumineers from our cosmetic dentist in Fresno erase imperfections, making them perfect for extensive smile makeovers. Dr. Byron Reintjes will help you select the right option to suit the image you want to portray. Just give us a call to get started with your initial consultation.

- Root Canal TreatmentMost people approach the idea of a root canal with fear or dread. However, this emergency dental treatment with our Fresno dentist can actually save your tooth and relieve pain. When your tooth experiences severe trauma or deep decay, the nerve, or pulp, can die. An infection builds up inside, and this can cause pressure and discomfort. That’s why Dr. Reintjes needs to intervene ASAP. To learn more about this procedure, you can read on or give our friendly dental team a call.
- Deep CleaningScaling and root planing (SRP), also known as a deep cleaning, is a treatment our dental team uses to clean above and below the gum line, removing bacteria and smoothing the tooth’s root to prevent reinfection. SRP is the gold standard of gum disease treatment and is usually recommended for moderate levels of gum disease. It may take a few visits to complete the entire treatment, and antibiotic therapy may be necessary as well. (More on that below.)

- Oral SurgeryIf you’ve never had oral surgery before, it may be difficult to tell which side effects are normal and which are not. It’s normal to see some intermittent bleeding in your mouth for a few days after your surgery, but it should be light. Swelling in the mouth and face is also normal, though it will take a week or so for that side effect to go away completely. Finally, soreness and discomfort are normal after dental implant surgery, but you should be able to easily manage it with pain relievers and ice packs. If your symptoms don’t seem to be getting better or if you have any concerns at all, don’t hesitate to call us right away.
- Tooth ExtractionsYour wisdom teeth will typically erupt anywhere between the ages of 17 and 21. Because they erupt so much later than your other teeth, there’s not as much room for them, and, as a result, they are more prone to becoming impacted or erupting sideways. These issues can lead to infection, pain, and swelling. Dr. Reintjes highly recommends having wisdom tooth extractions in our Fresno, CA dental office long before they start causing complications. If someone in your family is around the age where they can expect to receive their wisdom teeth soon, call us today.
- Bone GraftingIf you have good oral and general health, you are likely a candidate for dental implants; however, you will require an initial consultation with your Fresno dentist. Dr. Reintjes discusses your medical and lifestyle history to ensure there are no factors that increase your risk of dental implant failure, such as untreated gum disease. Besides a visual examination, he also uses digital X-rays and a CT scan to assess your oral structures. Based on his findings, you may need additional procedures before having your implant posts placed, like bone grafting.
- OrthodonticsOrthodontics is the area of dentistry that deals with preventing and correcting dental irregularities like crooked teeth, crowding, and bite issues. Dr. Reintjes can move the teeth into their proper position by using orthodontic appliances that exert gentle pressure on targeted teeth. Straightening your teeth will change your appearance and can also improve your oral health by making routine care much easier.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsNow, Invisalign can treat an array of bite and alignment issues; however, Dr. Reintjes will perform a thorough consultation to ensure you are a candidate. He takes 3D scans of your mouth to map the movement of your teeth. This allows you to see what your new smile will look like even before you commit to the treatment.
- BracesMisaligned teeth can cause a number of daily inconveniences, and they put you at an increased risk of several oral health problems.
