Dental services in Signal Hill
Emergency dental care
Sometimes, dental emergencies like a broken tooth or intense pain can’t wait for treatment—and you don’t want to have to call a new dentist with whom you are not familiar.
We provide same-day appointments and our emergency dental services provide a Signal Hill dentist on call seven days a week. That way, you receive the urgent assistance you need from a familiar face after hours if you have a problem that just won’t wait.
Our emergency dental services are available for these and other dental emergencies:
- Severe toothaches
- A chipped or fractured tooth
- Tissue injury
- Facial pain
- Swelling and lost fillings
Family dental care
With a dentist dedicated to the whole family, one phone call is all it takes to book appointments for everyone.
A family dentist will get to know your family’s dental and medical history. We can also relieve dental anxiety, helping you maintain a regular dental routine.
Your family’s relationship with your dentist is an important one that can prevent teeth and gum problems and positively impact your health and wellbeing long into the future.
As well as dental checkups, cleaning, and examinations, we provide the following family dental care services:
- Kids dental program: It is important to relate the importance of looking after your teeth to your child. Our Kids dental program creates positive experiences for toddlers and children and teaches them to care for their teeth once they leave the dentist’s chair. That way, your children grow up with good dental habits that create strong, healthy teeth and help prevent infections, heart disease, and other chronic diseases.
- Dental fillings: Fillings can be used to help treat decayed teeth or repair cracked or chipped teeth. Our Signal Hill dentists use composite material for filings. This bonds to the tooth and provides increased strength and durability.
- Dental crowns and bridges: A crown is a custom-made tooth that fits over your existing tooth structure, protecting against natural erosion while restoring the look and strength of your tooth. A dental bridge may be an option if you have either lost a tooth or suffered severe damage to one. A dentist from our Signal Hill team can evaluate your teeth and outline your options.
- Root canals: When a tooth nerve becomes irreversibly inflamed or infected, it can cause severe tooth pain. Root canal treatment might be recommended by your dentist to help relieve the pain and prevent future problems with the tooth.
- Dentures: If you fit dentures, you only want to do it once and you expect them to fit comfortably. With our experienced professional denturists, you are expertly fitted with a set of dentures that will last the years ahead.
- Sleep apnea: If you regularly feel drowsy during the day and suffer from headaches, you may have obstructive sleep apnea. If so, our specialists may be able to offer dental options that relieve the symptoms and help increase your energy, focus and overall quality of life.
Cosmetic dentistry
As a Signal Hill family dental clinic, we have the appropriate treatments available for every member of the family. That includes those who just want to adjust their appearance, improve their smile, and give their confidence a boost.
Our cosmetic dentistry services include the following:
- Zoom® Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening can deliver that bright, white smile you always wanted and provide an extra dose of self-confidence. As we age, stained or discoloured teeth are common. Teeth whitening can reverse all those years of discolouration and give your smile a new lease of life.
- Full mouth reconstruction: A full mouth restoration can help to realign bites and straighten teeth. We can also use veneers or crowns to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. After an initial consultation to determine your goals and an oral examination, your dentist can outline all your cosmetic dentistry options so that you can make an informed decision.
- Veneers: Dental veneers can help you address chips or stains on your teeth that can quickly ruin a smile. With our expertise, you can restore your teeth to their former glory and feel more confident when flashing that smile!
- Dental bonding: Dental bonding is the process of applying a tooth-coloured resin to the teeth and curing it with light heating. This non-invasive and painless treatment can help to restore chipped or cracked teeth, alter the shape of disproportioned teeth, and close spaces or gaps between teeth.
Specialist services
Sometimes, dental treatment may require complex and specialist solutions.
Dental specialists complete extra training in a specific area of dentistry, such as orthodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics or another field. Specialist dentists must follow the same ethical guidelines and professional regulations as general dentists and many work in hospitals or clinics.
- Orthodontics: Orthodontics is the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of poorly positioned teeth and jaws, and misaligned bites.
- Periodontics: Periodontics is the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of the inflammatory disease that affects the gums and the bones around the teeth. Dr. Javier Cabrales are the periodontist specialists who manage gum disease and perform these procedures at Sierra Dental.
- Periodontics procedures and treatments include:
- Limited or complete periodontal evaluation
- Surgical and non-surgical periodontal therapy
- Periodontal regeneration
- Surgical implant placement
- Bone graftings, such as ridge and sinus augmentation
- Extractions and ridge preservations
- Gingival grafting
- Functional and aesthetic crown lengthening
- Oral pathology
- Prosthodontics: Prosthodontics deals with the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth using dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, dental implants, and other artificial devices.
- Implant retained dentures: Implant-retained dentures are over-dentures that are supported by and attached to implants rather than resting on the gums. Roni Yusefov is a highly trained denturist who provides patients with custom treatment options that fit both their needs and their budgets.
