Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Our experienced dental team will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. The comprehensive exam, combined with a review of your medical and dental history, allows us to identify any issues. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and financial options that work with your budget. Rest assured, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
• X-rays
  Dental X-rays and imaging refer to diagnostic techniques used by dentists to visualize different parts of the oral cavity. These techniques include traditional X-rays, panoramic X-rays, and cone-beam computed tomography ( CBCT ). Each method offers distinct advantages and allows us to assess various aspects of your oral health with precision and efficiency.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Detecting the signs of oral cancer is critical to early diagnosis and successful treatment. A five-minute oral cancer screening can make all the difference.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Professional teeth cleanings are key to maintaining optimal oral health. Our thorough cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and stains–which helps prevent gum disease and cavities. Smile, you’re plaque free.
• Fluoride Treatment
  By incorporating fluoride treatment into your oral care routine, you’re not just protecting your teeth—you’re investing in long-term oral health and a radiant smile.
• Dental Sealants
  Simple, effective, and stronger protection. Dental sealants are a preventive dental treatment that can help protect your teeth from decay and cavities.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Fillings vary in material and characteristics. Amalgam fillings, made from a mixture of metals, are durable and cost-effective but may not match the color of natural teeth. Composite resin offers a natural look but may not be as long-lasting as amalgam fillings. Ceramic and gold fillings offer excellent durability and asthma but are typically more expensive options.
• Resin Composite
  Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth. They are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain or composite resin, and are designed to fit precisely into the prepared cavity of a tooth. Inlays are used to restore the chewing surface of a tooth, while onlays are employed to cover a larger portion of the tooth.
• Veneers
  Effortlessly transform your smile with veneers– customized, tooth-colored shells designed to last and ensure a bright smile for years to come.
• Crowns
  Dental crowns are custom-fitted caps designed to restore and strengthen damaged teeth. Experience the long-term solution for a healthier, happier smile in just one visit.
• Bridges
  A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) is the most common form of dental insurance, offering members a network of participating dentists to choose from. Dentists in this network agree to lower fee schedules, resulting in greater cost savings for patients. PPO plans cover a percentage of treatment costs, typically paying 50% for major treatments like crowns and bridges, 80% for basic care like fillings, and up to 100% for preventative care such as exams and cleanings. These plans often have annual maximums ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 and assist with insurance billing.
• Dental Bonding

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Choose a root canal to save and revive your smile. This restorative treatment tackles severe decay and infection, preserving your natural teeth and boosting your overall well-being.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  This deep cleaning procedure can stop the progression of gingivitis to more advanced stages of gum disease like periodontitis.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  No two sets of dentures are identical. We offer high-quality, customized dentures for comfort, appearance, and functionality. The ideal solution for your smile.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a sturdy foundation for the customized replacement teeth to match the shape and color of the natural teeth.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the final set of permanent teeth and are often the least necessary. Although the extraction of wisdom teeth is a widely recognized oral surgery, various circumstances may necessitate other types of oral surgery.
• Maxillofacial Surgery
  I served as an officer in the U.S. Navy for 15 years. In my spare time, I enjoy furthering my education and working on research projects in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
• Tooth Extractions
  A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon under local anesthesia to numb the area and minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  As a second-generation orthodontist following in my mother's footsteps, I have always been passionate about orthodontics. I grew up in Boston Massachusetts and moved to Southern California after finishing my residency. I have three kids and enjoy traveling with them and watching them play sports and the piano.
