Dental Examination
X-rays, also known as radiographs, are commonly used in dental exams of patients of all ages. Panoramic x-rays show the entire mouth and are particularly useful diagnostic tools. Panoramic x-rays are taken with a machine that circles your head, providing a complete overview of all the teeth and roots, the upper and lower jawbones, the sinuses, and other hard surfaces in the mouth. Many problems with teeth and the surrounding tissues cannot be seen when we visually examine your mouth. A dental x-ray examination is needed to reveal...

X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
Bleeding gums that apparently have no cause are always a warning sign, often indicating such conditions as gingivitis or even gum disease. Gingivitis (inflamed, bleeding gums) is not a one-way ticket to gum disease; in fact, if it’s caught early enough, gingivitis can be treated and even reversed. The first lines of treatment when it comes to gingivitis are lifestyle changes. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and high levels of stress can all contribute to gingivitis. Choosing a toothbrush with soft bristles can ease gum damage, too, and getting regular dental cleanings will control plaque and tooth decay. It's important to stop gingivitis before it progresses, as studies have shown more and more serious illnesses are associated with gum disease. The good news is bleeding gums can be treated, so see Dr. Pedraza for an evaluation of your gum tissues.
Fluoride Treatment
This includes individual consultations and dental exams, cleanings, digital x-rays (when needed), and a focus on encouraging proper home care and overall oral health. We also provide sealants to help protect teeth against decay, fluoride treatments for healthier and stronger enamel, and athletic mouthguards and nightguards to protect your smile.
Dental Sealants

Fillings
Veneers
If chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth make you self-conscious about your smile, veneers are a small investment that can make a BIG difference. In as few as two visits, Dr. Pedraza can sculpt your porcelain veneers and adhesively bond them to the front side of your teeth, giving your smile a more radiant and uniform appearance. Veneers look and feel like natural, beautiful teeth, and are also an excellent option to remedy teeth that are too discolored for traditional whitening methods.
Crowns
Constant pressure from chewing, grinding and/or clenching can cause dental fillings to wear away, chip, and even crack. If the seal between the tooth enamel and the filling breaks down, food particles and decay-causing bacteria can work their way under the filling. You then run the risk of developing additional decay in that tooth. Decay that is left untreated can progress to deeply infect the tooth and even cause an abscess and/or eventual loss of the tooth. Again, regular dental checkups enable us to monitor areas of concern and help keep you in optimal oral health. When restorations are large, or if recurrent decay is extensive, there might not be enough remaining tooth structure to support a replacement filling. In these cases, we may need to replace the filling with a natural looking porcelain crown.
Bridges
Multiple Tooth Replacements. In what is known as a “fixed bridge,” implants are permanently placed in the jaw, then connected to a stable bridge (a series of crowns).
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Pedraza and our team work hard to stay on the leading-edge of restorative dentistry. If you struggle with ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures or a retainer with false teeth, dental implants can give your smile a second chance. Implants are useful in denture stabilization, and they can also be used in conjunction with crowns, bridges, and in single-tooth replacements. Advancements in implant technology have made dental implants the preferred method of replacing missing teeth. Ask us how implants can restore your smile and improve the overall quality of your life, health, and well-being.

Root Canal Treatment
Many patients suffering from advanced tooth decay, root canal failure, trauma to the mouth, or just extreme natural wear and breakdown of their teeth are benefiting from this revolutionary option in restorative dentistry. However, there are still some things to consider before you decide on dental implants. For example, implants are best performed after adolescence, when the teeth and jaw bone are fully developed. Additionally, the implant procedure can be more complicated for individuals with periodontal (gum) disease, active diabetes, immune deficiencies, and for patients who smoke. To ensure that you get the treatment that’s right for you, visit Dr. Pedraza for a full implant evaluation.

Dentures
Practice good oral hygiene. Brush at least twice a day with an ADA approved fluoride toothpaste and toothbrush. Floss daily to remove food debris and plaque from in between the teeth and under the gumline. Brush or use a tongue scraper to clean the tongue and reach the back areas. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months. If you wear dentures or removable bridges, clean them thoroughly and place them back in your mouth in the morning.
Overdentures
An alternative to a fixed bridge is a removable overdenture anchored with implants. With as few as two implants, you could have a denture that is significantly more stable and will allow you the flexibility to eat more of the foods you love. This method also eliminates the embarrassing social situations that can occur with a traditional denture. Stop by our office to find out how this procedure will bring back your confidence, smile, and enjoyment of eating again!

Dental Implants
Dr. Pedraza believes it is best to have the same dentist who places your implants also be the one to restore them. This is why Dr. Pedraza has had training in both phases of implant dentistry, allowing you to receive all of your implant treatment in one office.

Oral Surgery

Orthodontics
Less visible and more effective brackets and wires are making straightening teeth with orthodontics much more appealing to adult patients. Also, in some cases, teeth may be straightened with custom-made, clear, removable aligners that require no braces.
Invisalign Orthodontics
If clear and removable braces sound perfect to you, you could be on your way to a straight smile in no time with Invisalign
Braces
®, this comfortable and removable alternative to traditional braces straightens your teeth with noticeable results but without the noticeable bars and brackets of metal braces. The Aligners are changed approximately every two weeks to straighten your teeth step by step. AND for your ease and convenience, the Aligners can be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth. Call to schedule your orthodontic consultation today.

Teeth Whitening
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile, whiter teeth can also greatly enhance your self-esteem and confidence. As an added bonus, whitening can lead to healthier teeth because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking fabulous. Ask us at your next visit about brightening your smile. We offer several powerful, professional teeth whitening options and would be happy to work out a personalized plan based on your dental condition, desires for your smile, and budget. We think you’ll love the results of a whiter and more dazzling smile!
Cosmetic Dentistry
If you’re feeling somewhat self-conscious about your teeth, or just want to improve your smile, cosmetic dental treatments may be the answer to a more beautiful, confident smile. Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular in the last several years, not only due the many advances in cosmetic dental procedures and materials available today, but also because patients are becoming more and more focused on improving their overall health. This includes dental prevention and having a healthier, whiter, more radiant smile.
General Dentistry
General dentistry treatments involve diagnosis, treatment procedures, and maintenance of general conditions and problems affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw. Prevention and gum care are a fundamental part of general dentistry, as is diagnosing and treating problems before they grow to be painful and often expensive. Keeping up with oral health is vital to overall health, and it can also significantly reduce the amount of money that you’ll need to spend on dental treatment later in life.
