Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is designed to help patients keep their teeth healthy, prevent problems, and address issues before they become major complications. This category includes:

  • Emergency dentistry: Dental emergencies can always be fixed with help from your emergency dentist and prevent the development of more problems.
  • Gum disease: Gum disease begins slowly but if you see your dentist regularly and undergo gum disease screenings, the problem can be stopped and treated before it gets out of control.
  • Laser dentistry: This cutting-edge procedure treats diseased gum tissue and promotes periodontal regeneration in a comfortable, scalpel-free, and suture-free procedure.
  • Teeth cleaning: Getting your teeth cleaned regularly is the most effective and powerful method of preventive dentistry. Your teeth are polished, examined for developing problems, and your Manhattan Beach dentist addresses anything that needs immediate attention.
  • Deep teeth cleaning: This soft tissue management treatment is the frontline method for attacking gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, and prevents the disease from spreading.
  • Root canal therapy: An infected tooth benefits from meticulous root canal therapy that cleans and fills the roots of the teeth, putting a stop to the infection.
  • TMJ/TMD treatment: Clenching and grinding your teeth can lead to TMJ problems and vice versa. A customized nightguard immediately stops the pain and side effects that can damage dental care.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is designed to beautify teeth and make smiles look like the best version of themselves. Some of the most popular dental care procedures in this category include:

  • Invisalign: Using clear, nearly invisible aligners, teeth are shifted into alignment a few at a time in a discreet method that only takes an average of one year to complete.
  • Porcelain veneers: Customized in size, shape, color, and length and bonded across several front teeth to transform your smile, veneers are highly transformative.
  • Smile makeover: A customized combo of dental care is combined to give you a smile makeover that makes you look happier and healthier.
  • Tooth-colored fillings: Natural-looking composite fillings are used to correct tooth decay, chips, cracks, gaps, and more.
  • Teeth whitening: Fast, popular, and affordable, professional teeth whitening is the dental care that transforms a lackluster smile to beautifully white and nearly perfect.

Restorative Dentistry

All restorative dentistry solutions are designed to be both a restoration and a cosmetic improvement. If there’s something wrong with your oral health, you can be sure the correction will also make your tooth look its best too.

  • Dental crowns: Versatile, tough, and natural-looking, dental crowns are used for multiple oral health issues, from fixing a broken tooth to covering an unsightly tooth to capping a decayed tooth.
  • Dental implants: A missing tooth is a big problem and is most effectively replaced with a dental implant, which restores both tooth root and crown for a complete, fully functional restoration.
  • Same-day crowns (CEREC): Your Manhattan Beach dental office is equipped with a CEREC machine that makes same-day crown repair possible so you don’t have to worry about waiting for the fix to a broken or damaged tooth.

FAQs

What happens if you do not go to the dentist for 20 years?

A lot can happen in just six months, so the American Dental Association recommends that patients visit their primary dentist at least twice yearly for a cleaning and evaluation. If you have not visited the dentist in a long time, extensive work may be needed. Our dental hygienists can thoroughly clean the teeth, and our dental team can complete a full examination of the smile to discuss your current oral health situation and any treatments you may require to get your smile healthy again!

How do I fix rotten teeth without a dentist?

To address rotted or severely decayed teeth, patients in and around the Manhattan Beach, California area will want to see a dental professional at Beachside Smiles for an evaluation and to determine what can be done to restore the smile. The office can be reached by calling (310) 643-6004 to make a same-day or upcoming appointment.

What do you do if you have a hole in your tooth that hurts?

A hole in the tooth is often a sign of decay or a “cavity.” Cavities require immediate treatment to prevent them from becoming more profound and damaging to the smile. When left untreated, cavities can cause an infection inside the natural tooth that might require treatment, such as root canal therapy. Other times, they can become large enough to require permanent tooth extraction.

How to stop tooth decay from spreading?

The Dentists of Beachside Smiles encourage patients diagnosed with tooth decay to have a filling placed as soon as possible to prevent the decay from spreading further and deeper into the tooth. Root canal therapy or extractions might be necessary if treatment is not provided.

What is the most popular dental treatment?

Our most popular treatments at our office are routine dental cleanings and evaluations and the placement of fillings for tooth decay.
