Professional Cleaning

A thorough professional dental cleaning and a consistent oral care regimen are your best safeguards against tooth decay and associated problems. Our highly trained and experienced team at our Saratoga based general dentistry facility helps ensure that your teeth are cleared of plaque and tartar and any potential dental issues we encounter are brought to your attention. If you have perfect teeth, we’ll be sure to share that with you, too! The dental hygienist who performs your cleaning will also educate you about next steps and helpful tips to get and keep your teeth in perfect condition.

Cavities and Fillings

Tooth decay, also known as caries or cavities, is one of the most common oral health problems. Caries develop as a result of acids that eat away at the enamel of the tooth. Acids come from bacteria and from foods or liquids. When bacteria multiply they join together into a mass of bio-film, also called plaque; their by-product is acid which, over time, destroys the surface of the teeth, creating small holes. Certain foods such as candy, sodas, and other types of high-acid foods contribute to the growth of plaque in your mouth, and acid attacks your teeth.

Fortunately, it’s a relatively simple process to repair most cavities that have already taken hold and begun to grow in your teeth. Our dental hygiene team will ensure these are identified, cleaned, and repaired, so they can do no further damage. We use natural, tooth-colored fillings, so no one will even be able to tell you’ve had work done.
