X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
Periodontal cleanings are performed as part of the treatment regimen for gingivitis and periodontitis, forms of periodontal disease classified as mild, moderate or severe. Adults generally require periodontal cleanings, but teenagers with poor oral hygiene habits and those eating a diet lacking in sufficient nutrients can develop gingivitis. A general dentist, a dental hygienist, or a periodontist can perform a periodontal cleaning as part of the treatment for this disease.
Fluoride Treatment
Between brushings, a sticky film of bacteria plaque actually covers your teeth, producing acids that attack your enamel. Careful brushing and flossing can eliminate most of this film, but the chewing surfaces of your teeth can have deep, hard-to-reach fissures and pits where plaque can hide and create cavities.
Dental Sealants
Fortunately, you can prevent his chain of events by having your dentist or dental hygienist apply a “dental sealant” resin to any teeth that have these deep fissures and pits. It is a relatively inexpensive, painless and quick procedure helping protect the health of your teeth.

Fillings
Resin Composite
There are different types of bridges, depending on how they are fabricated and the way they anchor to the adjacent teeth. Conventionally, bridges are made using the indirect method of restoration however, bridges can be fabricated directly in the mouth using such materials as composite resin.
Veneers
In dentistry, a veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer, composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement such as Panavia. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated.
Crowns
Periodontal scaling procedures “include the removal of plaque, calculus and stain from the crown and root surfaces of teeth, whereas root planing is a specific treatment that removes the roughened cementum and surface dentin that is impregnated with calculus, microorganisms and their toxins.”
Bridges
Dental bridges are false teeth, known as a pontics, which are fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place that are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures. In areas of your mouth that are under less stress, such as your front teeth, a cantilever bridge may be used. Cantilever bridges are used when there are teeth on only one side of the open space. Bridges can reduce your risk of gum disease, help correct some bite issues and even improve your speech. Bridges require your commitment to serious oral hygiene, but will last as many as ten years or more.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
At De Cardenas Dental Center, we take care to evaluate each patient’s restorative needs and provide him or her with an easy to understand summary of options. Our Restorative Dentistry Services include the following...

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is the space within the root of a tooth. It is part of a naturally occurring space within a tooth that consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the main canal(s), and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing are often referred to as deep cleaning, and may be performed using a number of dental tools, including ultrasonic instruments and hand instruments, such as periodontal scalers and curettes.

Dentures
Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, and which are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable, however there are many different denture designs, some which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants. There are two main categories of dentures, depending on whether they are used to replace missing teeth on the mandibular arch or the maxillary arch.

Dental Implants
Virtually all dental implants placed today are root-form endosseous implants. In other words, virtually all dental implants placed in the 21st century appear similar to an actual tooth root (and thus possess a “root-form”) and are placed

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
A dental extraction (also referred to as exodontia ) is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, including tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure to prevent restoration. Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely performed, as are extractions of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontics
According to the ADA, orthodontics is the dental specialty that includes the diagnosis, prevention, interception, and correction of malocclusion, as well as neuromuscular and skeletal abnormalities of the developing or mature orofacial structures. (Adopted April 2003) Orthodontics and dentists who have these additional 3 years of training are called Orthodontists.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign is designed, manufactured, and marketed by Santa Clara-based medical-device company Align Technology, Inc. Align says that over 35,790 doctors are trained to provide Invisalign treatment in the U.S., with 48,130 doctors worldwide. As of January 29, 2008, Align Technology has 1,307 employees worldwide, and has manufactured more than 32 million aligners. The company has 133 patents.
Braces
The most obvious advantage of the treatment is cosmetic: the aligners are completely transparent, therefore far more difficult to detect than traditional wire and bracket braces. This makes the method particularly popular among adults who want to straighten their teeth without the look of traditional metal braces, which are commonly worn by children and adolescents. In addition, the aligners are marketed as being more comfortable than braces. Due to the removable nature of the device, food can be consumed without the encumbrance of metallic braces.

Teeth Whitening
Whitening, or “tooth bleaching”, is the most common cosmetic dental procedure. While many whitening options are now available, including over the counter products, dentist-supervised treatments remain the recommended procedures for lightening discolored teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is dental work that improves the appearance and function of our patients’ teeth. At De Cardenas Dental Center, we use only the most advanced techniques in all aspects of cosmetic dentistry. We use only those procedures that are safe and effective for each of our patients. Our Cosmetic Dentistry services include...
