Dentist Burbank | Cosmetic Dentist Burbank CA

How often do you visit our dentist in Burbank? once a year or twice? Is it enough for keeping your teeth healthy? If you are suffering from dental or oral diseases this may not be enough. If you are not having regular visits with our dentist, that is even worse. Our dentist performs treatments that are absolutely necessary for maintaining the health of teeth and gums, preventing diseases, and treating any existing condition. Some of these treatments include:

General Dentistry

Regular checkups, including X-rays, are performed by our Burbank general dentist to evaluate the condition of teeth and gums. From there, our dentist determines the treatments that are needed to keep them healthy. General dentistry treatments include treatments performed to maintain the general health of the teeth, such as cleanings, extractions and root canals, and treatments that prevent diseases and certain conditions from damaging the teeth and gums, such as fluoride treatment, sealants, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.

Pediatric Dentistry

Kid’s teeth need professional attention just as much as adult’s teeth do, if not more. Kids are more prone to tooth decays and cavities, and most of them suffer from alignment problems, which can lead to more dental diseases because of the difficulty they cause in brushing, flossing and maintaining the hygiene of the teeth. Our pediatric dentist in Burbank can prevent many of these problems with treatments such as fluoride or sealants, take care of tooth decays and cavities and provide braces for alignment problems and treat them before the jaw has completely grown.

Orthodontic Treatments

As said before, many children suffer from alignment problems with their teeth or jaw. This misalignment makes it hard to brush and floss, and teeth can suffer greatly from improper oral hygiene. Our Burbank cosmetic dentist uses braces to treat these problems. Thanks to advances in dental technology, these braces are more comfortable and far less noticeable than before. On the other hand, adults can have misalignment problems as well. Other than traditional braces, adults can also benefit greatly from Invisalign aligners, which are clear and impossible to notice.

Periodontic Treatments

Gingivitis is a form of gum disease, which is caused by accumulation of plaque on teeth and gumline, which comes from improper cleaning of the teeth. Gingivitis is a disturbing disease on its own, but when untreated it can turn into periodontitis, which is a periodontal disease that causes swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath and eventually tooth loss. With periodontitis, the bacterial in the gums find the chance to travel via blood to other parts of the body and cause infection. That is why the sooner gum disease is treated by our periodontist in Burbank, the less disease and damage you will suffer in your teeth, and other organs of the body.

Restorative Dentistry

Damage to the teeth can occur due to gum disease, trauma to the teeth, decaying and cavities and other diseases. Some of these damaged teeth can be saved. Naturally the sooner our Burbank restorative dentist finds the problems and starts the treatment, the chance of saving the teeth is greater. Root canals, porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers and tooth colored fillings are some of the treatments used to restore damaged teeth. If some of the teeth are too damaged to be saved, they can be replaced with devices such as dental implants, full and partial dentures or bridges.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Having healthy teeth is a must, but to most people having a beautiful smile is important as well. Some of us are genetically blessed with good looking teeth, and some of us are not. For those who don’t have dazzling teeth, our cosmetic dentist in Burbank has treatments that can make them more attractive. Imperfections with the teeth, such as deep stains, improper shapes or wide gaps, can now be treated with tooth whitening and bleaching treatments, porcelain veneers and crowns, tooth colored fillings or inlays and onlays.

Restorative Dentistry

Trauma to the teeth can cause severe damage. A blow to the teeth, such as during sport events, in a car accident or a fall, can knock out a tooth or filling. Your teeth can even get chipped when you chew something hard. In any case, the sooner you get to our Burbank emergency dentist, the more chance there is to save your tooth and restore it back to health. Our dentist is ready 24/7 to help any patient with an emergency, even if it is a toothache in the midnight hours. Just follow the instruction on how to handle the tooth while you get to the dentist, and you increase the chances of minimizing the damage and saving the teeth.

As you see, you might need to see our Burbank dentist at any time. If you do that on a regular basis, that is at least once a year, your teeth will be in better health since they are checked regularly for sings of diseases and are treated for existing conditions. Preventive treatments are also of great importance for maintaining the health of teeth and gums. If you have not seen our dentist in more than a year, call and make your appointment now.
