What Are Comprehensive Dental Services?
With our comprehensive dental services, you can get all the dental services you need in one convenient location. Whether you need root canal therapy or dental implant placement, our San Luis Obispo dentists can get you what you need, usually without having to refer you out of office. Our comprehensive dental services can help you save time and money, while resulting in a much better dental experience:
Our Comprehensive Dental Services
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are discreet alternatives to traditional metal fillings that blend in seamlessly with your natural smile. They help prevent problems commonly associated with cavities and tooth damage, allowing for a comfortable, beautiful restoration.
Crowns and Bridges
With dental crowns and bridges, our dentists can restore your smile by repairing and replacing teeth. Thanks to CEREC technology, your crown or bridge restoration can be ready in just one day.
Dental Implants
Known as the gold standard of tooth-loss solutions, our San Luis Obispo dentists offer custom dental implant solutions to meet your individual needs. Whether you need a single tooth replaced or a full arch, our implant dentists can restore the look, health, and function of your smile.
Full Mouth Restoration
When you’re dealing with multiple oral health issues, our San Luis Obispo dentists can plan out a comprehensive plan for full mouth restoration. Full mouth restoration involves multiple treatments over a matter of months to address your dental problems, helping you achieve the healthy smile you’ve always wanted.
Porcelain Veneers
Get the smile you want in less time with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin tooth-shaped shells that can enhance the look of your smile by concealing cosmetic flaws. Our cosmetic dentists simply adhere the veneers to the front surfaces of your teeth and you can start smiling your best immediately afterwards!
Preventative and Therapeutic Gum Care
Your gums are the foundation of your smile, and a major part of your oral health, and just like your teeth, they’re susceptible to disease. Periodontal or gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, which is why our San Luis Obispo dentists offer preventative and therapeutic gum care to help prevent or treat periodontal disease.
Root Canal Therapy
Infection or severe damage doesn’t necessarily mean your tooth needs to be extracted. Instead, our San Luis Obispo dentists may be able to save your smile with root canal therapy. By removing any infected or decayed tooth material, we can restore the full form and function of your smile.
Smile Design
Smile Design is an individualized treatment plan drafted by your dentist to address multiple oral health issues to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Enhancing your dental aesthetics will likely improve your oral health as well, allowing you to feel and look your best.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening safely and effectively removes stains and discoloration from your smile. Our cosmetic dentists utilize the Venus White Max system for quick in-office whitening, and the Opalescence system for convenient at-home whitening.
Xylitol Products
Xylitol is a non-fermentable sugar alternative that the mouth can’t break down into acids, so it can’t contribute to tooth decay. Xylitol also helps inhibit the growth of bacteria that causes plaque and gingivitis, prevents dry mouth, and keeps your blood sugar level. Our San Luis Obispo dentists offer xylitol products to enhance and protect the health of your smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Coverage for our comprehensive dental services depends on the service. For example, most insurance providers won’t cover cosmetic dentistry services, unless the service has a necessary restorative purpose.
To help our patients afford the best in comprehensive dentistry, we can offer third-party financing through CareCredit. Rest assured that regardless of your insurance status or means, our team will work with you to find a plan within your budget.
On top of saving you time and money, our San Luis Obispo dentists can keep better track of your oral health. Because you see us more often, our dentists will also be able to build a better relationship with you. We’ll have a more thorough understanding of your unique oral health needs and what kind of treatment will suit you best.
We recommend that you see our dentists for comprehensive dental exams at least twice a year, or once every six months. This will allow our dentists to keep better track of your oral health and prevent the need for more costly, invasive procedures down the line. Depending on your oral health, our dentists may recommend you visit our office for exams and comprehensive dental services more often.
During a comprehensive dental exam, your San Luis Obispo dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth. This includes evaluating your bite, checking for problems or signs of future problems, oral cancer screenings, etc. They’ll also ask you questions about your oral health and habits, as well as your smile goals, and review your medical history.
