What is the best tooth replacement?

We recommend dental implants for the feel and function of a natural tooth. After your implant is placed, we can fully restore your smile by attaching a crown, bridge, or dentures to it. Unlike other kinds of replacement teeth, your jawbone will remain intact and strong with implants. Still, implants aren’t for everyone. So we also offer traditional bridges and dentures. We’ll help you decide which solution is best for your smile.

Can I get braces for adults in San Pedro?

We have something better than braces! Invisalign is a system that straightens teeth with comfortable clear aligners, not metal braces. You can remove the aligners for meals, so you’re able to enjoy your favorite foods with no worries about trying to clean the debris out of braces later. Most adults are good candidates for Invisalign.

How fast can I get help in a dental emergency?

In most cases you can get same-day emergency dental care at our office. We offer same-day appointments for emergencies during our regular business hours to everyone, even new patients. Existing patients also can receive urgent care after hours.
