Burbank Dentist

The proper care of teeth and gums is the only way to ensure that you will maintain a healthy condition in your mouth. Regular visits to our Burbank dentist should be part of your dental plan. Routine examinations and cleanings once or twice a year are a good way to stay on top of any problems that may develop or issues that may come up between visits.

One type of dental issue that can present itself is a cavity that needs to be filled. Our Burbank dentist will effectively remove all areas of tooth decay and fill the cavity with a tooth-colored composite material that will strengthen the tooth and help to prevent further decay from occurring. The material will blend so well with the tooth itself that no one will even know you have a filling.

Periodontal disease is one type of dental problem that is best caught in its early stages. Scaling and root planing with special instruments and lasers can clean plaque and tartar from the teeth, thus eliminating the reason for inflamed gums. If periodontal disease has advanced, our Burbank dentist can use other measures, such as oral surgery, to clear up the infection. Once your gums are back to normal, regular visits to the office will ensure that they stay that way.

Tooth loss can come about through injury to the tooth, and a dental implant will capably replace a single missing tooth. The implant itself is firmly anchored, and the replacement crown, attached to the implant, will look as natural and work as effectively as the tooth it is replacing. Partial bridges do a fine job of replacing multiple teeth that are missing.

When your teeth are not as attractive as you would like, cosmetic techniques are available to deal with that situation. Tooth whitening procedures, porcelain veneers and Invisalign aligners are all ways to enhance imperfect teeth and create a beautiful smile.

Proper dental care at home and expert care by our highly skilled Burbank dentist will give you an attractive smile with strong teeth and healthy gums.
