Glendale Dentist

When you take proper care of your teeth by brushing and flossing twice a day, you will have healthier teeth and gums as a result. But it is also important to remember regular dental visits for examinations and cleanings that only a professional can provide.

Our Glendale dentist will give your teeth and gums the necessary attention and care. Your good oral hygiene habits at home will build a firm foundation for dental health, but you need to extend that care by seeing our Glendale dentist regularly for the additional attention that teeth and gums require.

Even with good brushing habits, cavities develop. You may not be able to remove every bit of plaque that forms on the teeth. Many cavities occur between teeth, where it is much harder to clean effectively. Cavities can develop more easily in back teeth, where it is harder to reach with a toothbrush. If you have a cavity, our Glendale dentist has the proper treatment to take care of decay and effectively fill the tooth. Tooth-colored composite material will fill the cavity and blend with the tooth, making the filling virtually invisible.

Plaque that is not completely removed from the teeth can also contribute to periodontal disease. If your gums are red, tender and bleed easily, you need to have our Glendale dentist examine them. Should periodontal disease be developing, there are treatments that will clear up the infection and restore good health to the gums.

Cosmetic improvements to the teeth can enhance your smile. Stained teeth will benefit from a tooth whitening procedure, and teeth with spacing or alignment problems, dark discolorations or chips and cracks can be disguised with porcelain veneers. Porcelain crowns repair damaged and broken teeth and strengthen a tooth that has received root canal therapy.

Even missing teeth can be replaced with the proper dental devices. One missing tooth will require a dental implant that is secured into the bone. A partial bridge is used when several teeth need replacing.

Our Glendale dentist has the skills and experience to handle all of your dental needs capably and responsibly.
