Comprehensive Dental Services

Cleanings and Prevention

A good preventive dental program is a cooperative effort between the patient, dentist and hygienist to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing dental and periodontal disease before it starts. Our office personalizes your preventive program based on factors such as home care, past periodontal disease and medical history. Prevention includes regular exams and cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments and sealants.

Dentures & Implants

We fabricate both full and partial dentures. We have worked with our present dental laboratory for many years. We are confident with their services.

We also repair dentures. Most of the time we can provide same day service on repairs.

Implants can replace missing teeth permanently. They are small titanium cylinders that attach to the jaw and can support replacement teeth. We work with many area oral surgeons and periodontists to place dental implants. We are well versed in the restoration of many implant systems. It is a cooperative effort to make sure implants are placed in the optimal position for function and esthetics.

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain facings that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. Veneers can be used to change the shape, color and alignment of your teeth. The process of preparing teeth for veneers, as well as the experience and artistic ability of the dental laboratory, are critical to the beautiful and natural looking restoration of teeth. We use one of the finest porcelain labs in California to fabricate our restorations. In addition, Dr. Houston has completed extensive continuing education in the preparation, fabrication as well as placement of porcelain veneers.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns are used to restore individual teeth that cannot be restored with a filling. Bridges are used to replace missing teeth. These restorations can be made out of many different materials. We fabricate crowns and bridges out of gold, porcelain fused to gold and all-porcelain. The type of restoration is determined after discussion of the patients needs and desires.
