General Dentistry

When teeth need the care of a professional, our dentist has the skills and experience to handle all types of dental issues that will come along throughout a patient's life. Twice a day brushing and flossing will help to maintain good oral hygiene, but the services of an expert will still be required. Regular dental examinations and cleanings will play a role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. When problems arise, as they sometimes will, our dentist in Manhattan Beach is able to address those problems and render the appropriate treatments.

A tooth can become injured in a number of ways, including a car accident, a fall, trauma to the mouth or periodontal disease. Even certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, can contribute to a breakdown in dental health. If a tooth is injured, one way to preserve the tooth is through root canal therapy. When a root canal treatment is performed, an opening is made in the crown of the tooth, and diseased pulp and bacteria are then removed from the pulp chamber. The root canal is cleaned, and the tooth is sealed. With the eventual placement of a porcelain crown, the tooth has been completely preserved.

No matter how well you take care of your teeth, they can still be affected by diseases. Our general dentist in Manhattan Beach can make sure your teeth and gums are always in good condition.

Manhattan Beach General Dentist

There are situations where a tooth cannot be saved, and a dental extraction will then be required. Our Manhattan Beach general dentist will painlessly remove the tooth and use a dental implant to replace it.

If a tooth has been broken and there is no visible portion showing above the gum line, then a surgical extraction will be performed. With surgical extractions, the tooth that remains below the gum line will be removed through an incision that is made while the patient is under sedation or local anesthesia.

Our general dentist in Manhattan Beach can perform other types of dental procedures as well, including various cosmetic treatments that will brighten and enhance the smile, such as tooth whitening procedures and porcelain veneers.

Whatever dental issues you may have, whether basic or more complex, our Manhattan Beach dentist will address them gently and competently.

Any kind of dental treatment you may need, contact our Manhattan Beach general dentist and he will be able to provide that treatment for you, making sure you have healthy teeth to enjoy.
