Vista Landing Dental Clinic

We make a special effort to use pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe each treatment. We want you and your child to feel at ease from the moment your family arrives at our office. Your child should visit the dentist every six months for regular dental cleanings and checkups.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums surrounding your teeth. Gum disease is one of the top reasons for tooth loss in adults, and because it is virtually pain-free, many people do not know they have the disease.

There are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth. Sometimes a baby tooth has misshapen or long roots that prevent it from falling out as it should, and the tooth must be removed to make way for the permanent tooth to erupt. At other times, a tooth may have so much decay that it puts the surrounding teeth and jaw at risk of decay.

Wisdom teeth are types of molars found in the very back of your mouth. These teeth usually appear in late teens or early twenties but may become impacted (fail to erupt) due to lack of room in the jaw or angle of entry. When a wisdom tooth is impacted, it may need to be removed.

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.

Dental botox relieves pain and symptoms by relaxing your muscles, while at the same time preserving the look and health of your smile. These injections help with headache pain, TMJ pain, persistent clenching and grinding, gummy smiles, upside-down smiles, lip lines and puckered chins.

Crowns are used to strengthen a tooth or improve its shape. They are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or partially destroyed by tooth decay. Crowns are 'cemented' onto an existing tooth and fully cover the portion of your tooth above the gum line.

Dental fillings are made of plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. These compounds, often called composite resins, are usually used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important, but they can also be used on the back teeth depending on the location and extent of the tooth decay.

Bonding can repair chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling bonds with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.

Dental cleanings are helpful in the removal of stain, prevention of gum disease, early detection of broken fillings and fractures, and a screening for oral cancer. They also give us an opportunity to compare the state of your oral health to that of previous visits.

We utilize advanced digital X-ray technology in our office. Digital X-rays provide several advanced imaging options designed to save time, provide clearer dental photos, and expose patients to less radiation than traditional X-ray technology.
