Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  At Alhambra Dental Plaza, we believe in personalized care when it comes to cleaning and examinations. These appointments support the foundation of proper dental health, and our team encourages visits every six months to ensure the smile stays in tip-top shape.
• X-rays
  At our specialized practice, we believe that the frequency of dental x-rays should reflect each individual patient’s needs. Dr. Do will carefully evaluate various factors to determine the most appropriate x-ray schedule for you. While we take bitewing x-rays once or twice a year for every patient, additional x-rays may be necessary in some cases. To establish the optimal x-ray frequency, we will consider your medical and dental history, the findings of our examination, and your disease risk.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Regular dental exams and cleaning visits are essential in preventing dental problems and maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. At these visits, your teeth are cleaned and checked for cavities. Additionally, there are many other things that are checked and monitored to help detect, prevent, and maintain your dental health. These include...
• Fluoride Treatment
  After scaling, your hygienist will polish your teeth to remove surface stains and create a smooth, shiny finish. This step not only leaves your smile looking bright and refreshed but also helps to prevent plaque and bacteria from adhering to your teeth. Depending on your needs and preferences, a fluoride treatment may be applied to further strengthen your tooth enamel and protect against cavities.
• Dental Sealants
  Although thorough brushing and flossing remove most food particles and bacteria from easy-to-reach tooth surfaces, they do not reach the deep grooves on chewing surfaces of teeth. More than 75 percent of dental decay begins in these deep grooves (called pits and fissures). Toothbrush bristles are too large to possibly fit and clean most of these areas. This is where sealants play an important role.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Although studies indicate that there are no measurable health risks to patients who have silver fillings, we do know that mercury is a toxic material when we are exposed to high, unsafe levels. For instance, we have been warned to limit the consumption of certain types of fish that carry high levels of mercury in them. However, with respect to amalgam fillings, the ADA maintains that when the mercury combines with the other components of the filling, it becomes an inactive substance that is safe.
• Resin Composite
  – These restorations are custom-made fillings. They can be made of composite resin, porcelain, or gold and are made by a dental laboratory and placed by a dentist. Inlays/onlays are usually best for the posterior chewing surfaces of teeth and are utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective/unattractive fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of tooth-shaped porcelain that are individually crafted to cover the fronts of teeth. They are very durable and will not stain, making them a very popular solution for those seeking to restore or enhance the beauty of their smile.
• Crowns
  While traditional dental crowns may keep you waiting weeks between appointments, the same-day crowns used at Alhambra Dental Plaza allow us to prep, place, and bond your new crown in a single day.
• Bridges
  CEREC (chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics) is a revolutionary technology that enables us to fabricate high-quality ceramic dental restorations, such as crowns and bridges, in a single appointment. With CEREC’s computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) capabilities, we can provide you with customized, durable, and natural-looking restorations with minimal wait time.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  I was suffering from an infection and needed a new dentist after my root canal procedure. Alhambra Dental Plaza made me an appointment immediately and was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I feel like I'm in great hands and appreciate their treatment after the nightmare I went through with my old dentist. Highly recommend this office.

Periodontics

• Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
  A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess gum tissue, which can result in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and healthier gums. The procedure is relatively straightforward and can be performed in-office at Alhambra Dental Plaza.
• Deep Cleaning
  If we notice signs of gum disease during an appointment, our team may recommend scaling and root planing, otherwise known as a deep cleaning. This procedure removes plaque and bacteria from areas of the teeth that are unreachable with a toothbrush or floss and helps prevent the progression of gum disease. During the deep cleaning, we will clean your teeth both above and below the gum line (scaling) and smooth out the tooth roots to stimulate the gums and help them heal and reattach to your teeth (root planing). This non-surgical procedure is often the first step in treating periodontal disease.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth along the dental arch, restoring the form and function of your smile. Our team creates customized partial dentures that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing you with the confidence to speak, smile, and eat with ease. Alhambra Dental Plaza uses high-quality materials and advanced technology to ensure that your partial denture is durable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.

• Flap Surgery
  Pocket reduction surgery, also known as flap surgery, is a surgical procedure used to treat advanced cases of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease occurs when the gum tissue becomes infected and inflamed, causing the gums to pull away from the teeth and form pockets. These pockets can become filled with bacteria, which can lead to further infection and damage to the surrounding bone.
• Osseous Surgery
  At Alhambra Dental Plaza, Dr. Do and our team can help reverse gum disease when caught in its early stages, ensuring good gum health and preventing bone and tooth loss. In more advanced stages, treatments like osseous surgery may need to be performed to remove the infection and save your smile.
• Tooth Extractions
  There are a number of reasons why our specialists might recommend a tooth extraction. Some dental patients suffer from tooth decay; others need to remove teeth hindering orthodontic treatment, whereas various patients simply need wisdom teeth removal. While a tooth extraction can be a serious dental procedure, aftercare is just as critical as the procedure itself. As a dental patient, it is important to understand that discomfort and the risk of infection can be lessened with proper care.
• Bone Grafting
  Bone grafting is a surgical procedure offered at Alhambra Dental Plaza that involves adding bone grafting material to an area of the jaw where there is bone loss. Bone loss can occur due to advanced periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. It can also occur due to injury or trauma to the jaw.
