Preventive Teeth Cleaning

Regular preventive teeth cleanings are a great way to maintain a healthy, stunning smile. Brushing and flossing after each meal is the first step to ensuring optimal dental health. However, it isn’t the only necessity to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Despite regular brushing and flossing, food and bacteria in the mouth will leave hardened deposits called tartar on your teeth and gums. These hardened deposits, if not routinely removed, can cause cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. There are many kinds of toothpaste and mouth rinses on the market that reduce the amount of plaque or tartar buildup, but none can completely prevent it. Routine preventive teeth cleanings should be a part of everyone’s dental hygiene regimen at least once every six months.

Cavity Fillings

For some, cavities are inevitable, while for others cavities are preventable. Regardless of how you end up with one, it doesn’t change your need for a solution. You may be experiencing pain due to your cavity, most likely when you chew on the side that has the cavity. When you are experiencing pain or discomfort due to a cavity, you need relief quickly. An ignored cavity can lead to further tooth decay that can affect other teeth and the health of your gums. Löberg Dental offers the latest in technological advancements, which allows us to safely, effectively, and quickly remove tooth decay from a cavity. Once this is done, we fill the empty spot with a composite resin that will fill in the gap and restore your tooth to its normal, healthy state.

Dental Crowns

If you have a cavity that has resulted in extensive tooth decay or if you have chipped a tooth beyond repair, your tooth may require a dental crown. Much like a crown that sits on the head of royalty, a dental crown sits on top of a tooth that is almost no longer salvageable. One of our experienced dentists will take an impression for a dental crown, making necessary modifications for a complete tooth. Our goal is to salvage as much of your existing tooth as possible and place the dental crown over your salvaged tooth. Our dentist will give you instructions regarding the care of your dental crown and will answer any questions you may have about this restoration.

Root Canals

There are times when patients may need to undergo root canal therapy. While root canals have a reputation due to outdated misperceptions, they are not painful or difficult to undergo. In fact, root canal therapy helps relieve the pain that you may be experiencing due to an abscess or infection. The treatment is relatively quick, easy, and effective at saving the natural tooth. Root canal therapy is a routine dental procedure that our team at Löberg Dental has extensive experience with.

Dental Inlays

A dental inlay may be required if a cavity has lead to extensive tooth decay. A composite material is shaped and firmly affixed in place to essentially fill the empty cavity after all decay has been removed. Dental inlays are also effective in repairing chips or minor cracks. Löberg Dental has a state-of-the-art dental office in Laguna Hills, CA, that is well-equipped to both prepare and place a dental inlay. If you feel like you need dental help, feel free to contact our friendly team at Löberg Dental and schedule your complimentary exam.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that begin to appear in adulthood. When these teeth are in their proper place, you might not even notice you have them, but for many people wisdom teeth can become painful when they crowd other teeth, leading to other complications. At Löberg Dental, we do all we can to bring you relief quickly. We often recommend extraction to alleviate the discomfort of impacted wisdom teeth and to ensure that all the rest of the teeth stay healthy. Regular monitoring of the wisdom teeth can keep you or your child from requiring further dental corrections later in life.
