Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a durable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our practice uses advanced imaging and techniques to ensure precise placement and long-term success. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and sufficient bone density. The process typically takes 3-6 months, including healing and restoration phases.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening removes stains and discoloration using high-strength hydrogen peroxide gel. In-office treatments brighten teeth up to 8 shades in one hour, while custom take-home trays offer gradual results. We recommend this for patients seeking to reverse years of staining from food, drinks, or smoking while maintaining enamel integrity.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth with custom-made ceramic or porcelain-fused-to-metal caps. They protect fractured teeth, cover implants, or anchor bridges. The two-visit process includes tooth preparation, temporary placement, and permanent bonding. Crowns typically last 10-15 years with proper oral hygiene and care.
Emergency Dentistry
We treat dental emergencies like toothaches, broken fillings, knocked-out teeth, or infections. Immediate interventions prevent complications and relieve pain. Services include root canals, extractions, and temporary restorations. Our team prioritizes same-day appointments for Irvine patients experiencing acute oral health issues.
Dental Checkups
Routine checkups include professional cleaning, oral cancer screening, and cavity detection using digital X-rays. We recommend biannual visits to maintain oral health and prevent gum disease. These appointments also allow early diagnosis of potential issues, reducing future treatment needs and costs.
