Of course, the goal of any modern dentistry practice is to help patients prevent tooth loss. However, when removal of a tooth is the only course of treatment, dentists can perform the procedure with skill, expertise, and perhaps most importantly, compassion.

How is broken tooth extraction performed?

This is certainly a reasonable concern; after all, it’s your mouth! Our  cosmetic dentist will utilize a panorex x-ray, which allows for a comprehensive view of the patient’s jaw alignment, teeth positioning, and possible wisdom teeth. During that time, patients are sometimes evaluated for cysts and tumors as well (as the panorex x-ray is a prime diagnostic tool).

Next, he/she will grasp the tooth with forceps, alternating them in a back and forth motion so as to loosen the tooth before removing it. In some cases, the doctor will make an incision in your gum to reach the tooth prior to extraction.

Tooth extraction pain is done away with comfortable oral sedation

Either way, dentists offer multiple anesthesia options (including sedation dentistry) to ensure painless optimal patient comfort. Finally dental teeth extraction can be accomplished without pain as sedation dentistry offers a relaxing and anxiety-free experience.

Healing tooth extraction after-care

Our cosmetic dentist will advise you on what to do and provide you with instructions for proper care and healing of extraction of tooth or teeth. Directions will differ depending on if there are any other accompanied dental procedures that are also taking place. Healing time for tooth extraction may take weeks or months for it to completely heal; however enough healing will have occurred after one to two weeks of which afterwards will only be a very minor inconvenience.

Also, it should be noted that at the office of our Riverside cosmetic dentists, broken tooth extraction is typically a minor surgery; however, patients should be aware that our doctors refer to a maxillofacial surgeon for more complicated cases. Usually severe cases are a result of deformities caused by facial injuries or advanced diseases.

If you would like to further discuss broken tooth extraction – or, your candidacy for an alternative treatment, such as porcelain veneers or dental crowns – we invite you to schedule an initial consultation with your  cosmetic dentist.

Mini Implants for Lower Dentures – For those dentures wearers who are tired of the instability of their lower denture we have Imtec mini implants. See www.imtec.com for more information.

Dental Implants are permanent and look and function like real teeth!

A remarkable procedure, implants can replace any or all of your teeth. The implant becomes integrated with the bone and acts like a “bolt” which will ultimately support a new tooth. The advantages of implants for patients with dentures are: denture stability, increased patient comfort and confidence. See www.icoi.org for more information.

Causes of tooth decay originate when a tooth loses its mineral content (demineralization). The loss of these protective minerals results in the formation of plaque; this plaque breeds a bacterium that sustains itself on sugar deposits left on the teeth from food. After ingesting the sugar, the bacterium almost immediately begins to emit its waste on the teeth in the form of acids – acids that eat away at the tooth enamel, which is the process of decay.

How can you remove tooth decay once it starts?

For those in the Inland Empire, the Moreno Valley dentists at Canyon Crest Dental utilize an intra-oral camera to detect potential tooth decay activity before the damage is irreversible; then they remove it with a painless, air-driven tool with a treatment known as micro air abrasion.

Where is micro air abrasion available?

A small number of dentistry practices offer micro air abrasion for tooth decay removal – and Canyon Crest Dental is one of them! Our Moreno Valley dentist is one of a select few practices within the Inland Empire who offers this advanced treatment. Contact us today to request an initial consultation.

Detect, Repair and Prevent Tooth Decay

Utilizing an intra-oral camera gives both you and us the opportunity to see potential problems occurring in your mouth, such as decay or fractured teeth. Often a tooth will not start bothering you until there is significant loss of tooth structure. With the help of the intra-oral camera, problems can be detected earlier, before you experience a toothache.Tooth decay prevention is your best treatment to stop it before it progresses into extreme severe stages. Preventing it from reaching advanced tooth decay stages can be accomplished by consulting with our cosmetic dentist to properly diagnose and provide you with a remedy.

How can you stop or cure Tooth Decay?

Treating tooth decay depends on how advanced the decay has become. Our Riverside / Moreno Valley Dentists may make any of the following treatments:

• Fluoride treatments may reverse tooth decay if it is detected and treated in its early stages.
• Natural colored tooth filling to restore the tooth after the decay has been removed because the cavity has already formed.
• A Tooth crown may be used to replace a part of the tooth if the decay has advanced and a filling will not work.
• A root canal treatment is required if infection in the pulp of your tooth has occurred, which essentially removes the diseased tooth pulp.
• Tooth extraction takes places when severe damage to the tooth root has taken place. A dental tooth implant procedure may follow to replace the tooth loss with a permanent natural looking tooth.

Treating Tooth Decay with Micro Air Abrasion, a Painless Cavity Cure

No Shots, No Drills…Really? – One of the greatest advances in dentistry in years is here. Now cavities can be removed with no shots or high-speed drills using “Micro Air Abrasion”. A painless air-driven stream of fine powder quietly removes decay from virgin teeth without your child even knowing and makes their appointment so much nicer. When we say “virgin” teeth, we mean teeth that have not previously been filled. Obviously, many adult cavities fit this description as well and we have surprised many of our “older” patients with the new “Micro Air Abrasion” experience.

If you are scared of a dental appointment, many dentists have a solution for you.

You can sleep through your next appointment and yet get the best treatment!

Sleep Dentistry, the latest evolution is specially meant for those who are apprehensive of going to a dentist. There can be a lot of reasons behind this right from fear of pain to needles.

Whatever your fear of visiting a dentist is,  sleep dentistry can help you. The highly experienced Moreno Valley dentist will place you in a relaxed state of complete sedation, which means you are left with either little or no memory of the dental procedure. This will also reduce your pain or discomfort.

If you have a dental phobia but want to keep your teeth beautiful and healthy, the Riverside dentist Dentists are here to provide you with an easy, safe and effective alternative.

The process is very simple. All you need to do is take a small pill an hour before visiting the dentist and you will be relaxed by the time you arrive at Moreno Valley dentistry clinic. We will also sedate you to make the session even less uneasy for you. The sedation is given after examining the quantity of medicine that you need. The time duration of treatment will decide if you will be sedated for a short or long time.
Sleep dentistry is safe and dentists ensure that you are watched closely  till the time you are out of the sedative effect.

Earlier, sleep dentistry was done for major procedures like wisdom teeth removal but now it can be used with most of the procedures.

You can now sleep through the following dental treatments that you may have been avoiding because of fear:

• Tooth whitening
• Root canal
• Crown or denture work
• Wisdom teeth removal
• Root canal and many more…

It doesn’t matter what causes unattractive teeth till the time Moreno Valley cosmetic dentistry is here to provide you dental veneers treatment that will solve your cosmetic dental issues like:

With age, you will see that teeth wear down naturally. Most of the people have chips and cracks on their uneven teeth.

Enamel, the thin white substance covering the teeth becomes discolored, dull and worn after some time. This could be because of genetic reasons, smoking, soft drinks or medication.

Our main aim is to provide you the resources to find the right dentist who will deliver you a beautiful smile that is free of worries.

While seldom painful and frequently free of any obvious signs or symptoms, periodontal disease can progress, undetected, to the point where supporting bone is destroyed. With 80 to 90-% of all teenagers having some form of gingivitis (inflamed gums) and 75% of adult tooth loss for people over the age of 35 due to periodontal disease, early treatment and prevention is essential. While periodontal disease is caused by plaque, a number of other factors including poorly fitting bridges, badly aligned teeth and defective fillings contribute to the development of this condition.

Our hygienists all have extensive training and experience in treating and preventing periodontal disease. There are also many new and exciting non-surgical prescription drugs which have shown excellent results.

For patients, adults and children, who have crowded or crooked teeth, spaces between their teeth or misaligned teeth and jaws, orthodontic therapy can help reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and trauma due to protruding teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an evaluation by 7 years of age. More than 25% of all orthodontic patients are adults.

Minor tooth movement can be accomplished with removable appliances right here. Patients requiring more extensive treatment are referred to an orthodontic specialist.

Also, find out more about the clear alternative to metal braces, Invisalign.

A panorex x-ray allows us to see a complete picture of the alignment of your jaw, the positioning of your teeth and if there is sufficient space for your third molars (wisdom teeth) to fully erupt. In addition, it is an excellent diagnostic tool for evaluating the supporting bone for possible cysts or tumors.

Most minor surgeries are performed at our facility; however the doctor may choose to refer a maxillofacial surgeon for more complicated cases.
