Maintain Your Dental Health With General Dentistry in San Pedro

Dr. Victoria Shook on General Dentistry at Shook Dental Care in San Pedro, CA

I'm a general dentist. What that means is I see little kids, I see geriatric patients, and everywhere in between. That's the fun part of my job. I enjoy working with children, and then I enjoy working on the grandparents, too. It's fun.
In my office, we do fillings—we do white fillings. I have really competent hygienists that are very enthusiastic about keeping people's teeth clean. That treatment can vary from a simple, regular cleaning to more of a deep scaling and root planing. Also, we provide laser periodontal therapy. The results are good, it helps people. They also are—I call them my cheerleaders. They point out areas that you need to work on with flossing and brushing better. They help you with your brushing technique.
In dentistry, it's all about preventing tooth loss, preventing gum disease, preventing bone loss, attachment loss—that’s what we want to avoid. My hygienists keep my patients out of my chair.

Our general dental care will:

  • Keep your smile in top condition
  • Help keep your mouth free of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Improve your overall health as well as your oral health

Our dental team looks forward to helping you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile! Call us at 310-982-6333 today to schedule your general dentistry appointment.

Solve Your Dental Problems, From Gum Disease to Teeth Grinding

While teeth cleanings and dental exams are essential for lifelong healthy teeth and gums, our general dental care goes far beyond these important services. We can also help you eliminate problems like dry mouth and teeth grinding. You can receive these treatments:

  • Gum Disease Treatment – to eradicate oral infection
  • Fluoride Treatments and Varnish – to keep you safe from tooth decay
  • Talon® Nightguards and Mouthguards – to help you stop snoring or prevent teeth grinding
  • Nutritional Counseling – to make sure your diet is helping your smile
  • Digital Dental Impressions (Digital Dentures) – for precise denture creation
  • Chronic Dry Mouth Treatment – to help determine the cause and get it taken care of fast

We Welcome Young Patients With Extra Care

Your children are always welcome at Shook Dental Care. If it’s your child’s first dental appointment, they’ll get a tour of the office before their exam. After Dr. Shook has looked over their smile, your little one will receive a toy. We help kids establish a positive perception of the dentist with simple things like teeth counting and reward stickers.

Let our trusted team take care of the smiles of everyone in your family with general dentistry in San Pedro! Call 310-982-6333 to make an appointment for general dental services, or reach out to us via our convenient online form.

Dr. Shook is by far the best dentist I’ve ever seen. I have extremely complicated and extensive dental needs. The care that she and her team provide is unparalleled. It is apparent that they maintain the highest levels of education for each of the positions from reception to hygienist. Dr. Shook’s assistants are at the top of their field in knowledge and care. If you’re looking for a new dentist in Pedro and are trying to find the best; look no further. Even her contemporaries in Endodontists and Maxillofacial surgeons herald her as the best in her field. There’s not a more modern dentist in town with technology and office ambience.

I have been going to to Dr Shook for more than 7 years and even though I've moved an hour away I continue to come here for dental care and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I came in the first time nearly ten years ago with a mouthful of problems and Dr. Shook made it clear my care was her 1st priority, and took care of me. In subsequent years all her dental hygienists have been at the same level of exceptional professionalism, and my teeth are looking better than ever and still in the right place. Bedside manner is second to none. I feel like everyone at Dr Shook's office cares about me, they know me, they will accommodate my schedule and above all they will take top quality care of my teeth. Zero complaints, nothing but praise. Make an appointment, you won't regret it.
