Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Our care begins with your physical health history and a full dental examination to detect and confirm any issues you may be having. Many things can affect your oral health including certain physical conditions. We will look at your health history to see if there is anything that may affect our diagnosis and follow-up care. We do a visual examination of each tooth and review the x-rays to get a complete understanding of any tooth or gum issues you may have.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Another crucial part of the dental checkup is the oral cancer screening. With this, your dentist will examine your tongue, throat, face, neck, and lips for any signs of oral cancer.Â

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  It’s critical to stress seeing the dentist for regular teeth cleaning to family and friends. Where do you start? — Don’t fret! At Whittier Square Dentistry, we’ve prepared a comprehensive list of the most common dental problems and why regular professional dental cleaning is necessary.
• Fluoride Treatment
  For starters, if you’ve had a fluoride treatment, it’s generally recommended that you wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking. This allows the fluoride enough time to absorb and protect your teeth entirely.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Accidents happen, and teeth are no exception. Dental bonding can aid this. It is a process where a tooth-colored composite resin is applied to repair the chip or crack. This can restore your natural teeth to their former glory.
• Veneers
  Another cosmetic procedure dentists perform is veneer placement. Veneers are typically used for patients that have a variety of problems with their teeth. Whether the patient is dealing with damaged teeth, crooked teeth, or even gapped teeth – veneers can have a tremendous positive impact on the overall appearance of the patient’s teeth and smile. Veneers are made to look very natural, and they can last a long time. They are applied by attaching the veneer to the front surface of each tooth using an adhesive specially made to attach to teeth.
• Crowns
  Your treatment includes removing of the dead or infected pulp along with the nerve ending (located in the root chamber). This pulp is then thoroughly cleaned, given medication, and sealed. Finally a crown is normally used to protect and give it strength.
• Bridges
  To Anchor a Dental Bridge: If you're missing one or more teeth, a bridge may be used to replace them. They are used on the teeth adjacent to the gap to anchor the bridge in place.
• Dental Bonding
   This is perhaps one of the more popular treatments a cosmetic dentist performs. This type of treatment refers to the repair of damaged, decayed, or severely discolored teeth utilizing a material that closely resembles the natural color of the tooth enamel. To perform this procedure, the dentist removes the tooth decay (if present) and places the composite onto the surface of the tooth.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Experienced and Skilled Dental Professionals: Our dental practice is staffed by highly skilled professionals. They are experienced in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Our team is dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in American dental care. With this, we can ensure you receive the best possible treatment.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A root canal is used to save an injured, decayed or cracked tooth when its pulp becomes infected or inflamed. This pulp is the soft tissue inside the root chamber. This should be treated promptly or it may result in an abscess infection or a very painful tooth.  This is also known as endodontic treatment. This procedure is usually completed in two visits to your dentist. This depends on the treatment your dentist prescribes and if there is infection. After it is restored, it will function normally. Continue practicing good oral hygiene for the best potential for it to last a lifetime. For other services that we offer, check out our services page here.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Cold sores or fever blisters occur on the edge of the outer lips and are caused by the Herpes simplex virus. Being caused by a virus, they are not entirely curable but will come and go, and are contagious. Oral thrush or candidiasis, a yeast infection of the mouth seen in cancer patients, diabetics, denture wearers, and infants, also causes mouth sores.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants in Whittier are a great way to improve your smile and your life. They can give you the confidence you need to show your smile off and help you eat and speak easier, and they can also make it easier to keep your teeth clean and healthy. If you live in Whittier call the dental staff at Whittier Square Dentistry.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  In addition to routine checkups from x rays and cleanings, we offer fillings, tooth extraction, root canals, and restorative treatments, such as crowns, bridges, and implants, certain oral surgery procedures, and even teeth whitening treatment service.
• Tooth Extractions
  This is another myth. It’s never too late to consider getting a dental implant, even if your tooth extraction happened years ago. As long as you have a healthy jawbone that can support the artificial teeth or are eligible for a bone graft, you can still avail of this procedure.
• Bone Grafting
  Preparation: Depending on your individual needs, you may require bone grafting or tooth extraction. This is done to prepare the site. This is to ensure that your mandible can support it.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Some people have small teeth and they can help fill the spaces between small teeth where orthodontics may have difficulty. They can also give teeth uniform shape and color.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Another cosmetic procedure that a dentist might be able to do for a patient would be Invisalign treatment. This involves the use of clear aligners to fit a variety of teeth problems including crowding, over and underbites, and more.
• Braces
  Crooked Teeth: They can be straightened with dental braces (including metal braces) or clear aligners. This improves your teeth's appearance and oral hygiene, as straight teeth are easier to clean.
