Smile Rehabilitation in Arroyo Grande, CA
Rebuilding the foundation of your smile.
Composite Fillings
Dr. Ulep and Dr. Hernandez evaluate your annual films in order to identify cavities in their earliest stage.
When cavities are deep enough to be treated, Dr. Ulep and Dr. Hernandez meticulously remove the affected tooth structure and restore the tooth by hand.
Inlays, Onlays & Crowns
Inlays and onlays are treatments for broken teeth or for cavities too large for fillings.
Dr. Ulep and Dr. Hernandez opt for these more
conservative restorations (compared to crowns) when your tooth lacks strong, natural tooth support. They will often choose this treatment
before a crown so that more of your natural tooth stays strong longer.
Extractions
Extractions are necessary when a tooth is no longer able to perform its function due to extensive tooth loss from fracture, cavity in the tooth, from being too loose in the gums, or from a severe infection in the jaw.
Dr. Ulep and Dr. Hernandez perform extraction procedures with
bone-sparing and atraumatic techniques in conjunction with
socket preservation. This allows you to prepare the site for a more predictable and esthetic tooth replacement.
Bridges
Bridges are a great option for patients who might not be the best candidate for implants and want a
replacement for a missing tooth that will stay in place.
Dental Implants and Dentures:
The choice between dental implants, traditional dentures, and cosmetic dentures will depend on various factors, including your oral health, budget, and personal preference.
Dr. Ulep and Dr. Hernandez will utilize a
3-dimensional scan to accurately measure out the best position and orientation for the appropriate implant size to fit your crown.
No matter which treatment is chosen, we utilize superior quality materials, ensuring not just longevity, but also a natural appearance, exceptional fit, and polished finish.
You can reclaim your former lifestyle, unhampered by dental concerns, and enjoy everyday activities with renewed confidence and ease.
Root Canals
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth to prevent tooth loss, or the need for extraction.
Root canal therapy is a
tooth-saving treatment
where the nerve of the tooth is affected by a tooth infection or trauma resulting in the need to clean out the nerve. In these situations,
Dr. Hernandez's priority is relief of discomfort. After this type of therapy, it is typical to provide a full-coverage restoration because the tooth structure and strength are compromised.
