To make sure every visit is anxiety-free, Dr. Zhu has earned a license to provide IV conscious sedation. Along with gas sedation or sedation tablets, its one of the many ways he works to make visiting the dentist more comfortable.
Newer technology doesnt always mean better care. But when Dr. Zhu sees an opportunity for a new dental innovation to help you get treatment thats less invasive or more safe and comfortable, he takes it.
Loved by first visit here. I'm traveling out of the country next week and haven't had dental care since before covid. I was afraid of having a dental emergency abroad. They got me in the first day I contacted them and gave me the best care! I will be back and will bring family members.
Dr. Z & staff are very thorough and educated. They know their stuff! Extremely nice staff. They really listen to their patients and work with them to plan out the best strategy to help resolve dental issues as well as prevent future exasperations of current issues. Dr. Z can also administrator locals with expert skill. I appreciated his demeanor and skill.
Absolutely the best dental group of professionals I've experienced. I'm treated as family, with love, respect, humor and the utmost attention to details of my dental health. My treatments or procedures have included the range from the minimal; cleaning, to crowns and implants. This team has erased 99% of my dentist phobia, I hang on to 1% for no real reason. Thank you to my team!
Went in for excruciating pain from my tooth ache. Never in my life have I had the privilege to go to the dentist. For being my first time, Dr. Zhu was brilliant with his hands and knowledge of his trade. His assistant was fabulous. Both have gave me a wonderful experience. I highly would recommend to family and friends. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Dr. Zhu for the amazing hospitality. Now pain free and ready for christmas.
If youre facing an emergency dental situation, getting fast treatment can be the difference between keeping or losing a tooth. On standby at all hours, Pleasant Hill Dental is ready to respond to your urgent tooth and mouth care needs at a moments notice.
It doesnt matter if youve been a patient with us for years, or if youre visiting for the first time - you can rest easy knowing that the team at Pleasant Hill Dental will always be there to manage the situation and turn chaos into calm.
If your tooth is causing you so much pain that its unbearable, its usually a sign of exposed nerves or a bacterial infection. Placing an ice pack on the affected area can help reduce the pain until we can perform an emergency root canal or - in the worst cases - a tooth extraction.
Minor chips or cracks dont require immediate care, but if there are sharp fragments or parts of the tooth which could cut your mouth, you should call us right away. Usually dental bonding or a veneer can restore the tooth, but more serious cases may call for a crown or implant.
If youve had a tooth knocked out, its tremendously important to get it re-seated in its socket as quickly as possible. The sooner the tooth is put back in, the more likely it is that itll take root again. If your missing tooth cant be naturally restored, a dental implant is the next best option.
Even if it doesnt cause a lot of pain, losing a crown or filling has a major and immediate effect on daily activities like eating and speaking. Lost or damaged fillings are typically replaced with a new filling, but a crown thats fallen off can usually be cleaned and reattached.
Any time theres heavy and persistent blood flow in your mouth, its a sign that you need emergency treatment. Gauze inside your mouth and an ice pack on the outside can slow the bleeding and keep it manageable while youre making your way to the clinic for treatment.
Its no different when it comes to the health of your mouth, which is why the Pleasant Hill Dental team has trained and prepared to respond to emergency dental care situations. That means, when your mouth or teeth need immediate medical attention, you can rely on our team to take care of you and restore your oral health.
