Endodontists address damage and decay affecting the dental pulp, root, nerves, and similar structures. These structures play a vital role in keeping teeth healthy, strong, and anchored in place. When decay, infection, or injury weakens these structures, it can affect the overall health of one tooth or several. Endodontists fix these problems. That is why endodontic experts pride themselves as being specialists in saving teeth. Endodontic interventions are designed to eliminate infection and bacteria, restore teeth, heal gums, and more. This not only helps to restore a patients smile but also improves their long-term health and comfort.
The View DSC is located in Arcadia, CA, near San Gabriel, CA. We use a variety of advanced techniques and technology to help and heal tooth roots, nerves, and surrounding tissue. Endodontists are specialists that continue their education and training after dental school for three years to diagnose and treat conditions specifically affecting dental pulp and underlying tissues. This training and ongoing experience with the latest procedures allow endodontists to stop deeply embedded infections, diagnose complex oral health problems, restore oral health after injuries, and much more.
Endodontic treatments include a number of common procedures youve probably heard of, such as root canals, and more complex procedures that are designed to address less common issues. At The View DSC, our endodontists use the least invasive methods possible to restore teeth and protect patients health. With dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology, we can see symptoms of dental and oral health problems with great detail and clarity. We use this 3-dimensional model to develop the best treatment plan. Our endodontists experience, coupled with the latest technology, helps to give our patients faster healing times and better health outcomes.
The root canal system is complex and cleaning these areas presents challenges. The GentleWave Procedure uses state-of-the-art technology to remove an infection from this area faster and more effectively, with shorter healing times.
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced x-ray imaging technique that allows our endodontists to get the clearest, most detailed view of the mouths innermost structures. This allows us to detect signs of decay, disease, and injury that other x-ray techniques cant. By creating a 3-dimensional view of the area, we get 360-degree visibility of the problem, so we can safely approach it from the right angle. This not only allows us to intervene sooner, but also get the most accurate diagnosis and design the best treatment options and strategies.
Periodontics focuses on diagnosing and treating illnesses or damage to the supporting structures around teeth, including the gums, attached ligaments, bones, and more. These structures keep teeth anchored in place, and they also help teeth stay strong and healthy. Like any part of your body, these structures can be damaged by injuries, bacteria, and viruses. When this happens, the damage or decay can quickly affect other teeth and tissues. Periodontists address these issues with specialized care and procedures, so patients can live pain-free and enjoy strong, healthy teeth and gums.
Periodontists first attend dental school to obtain the education and experience necessary to address dental health concerns. Then they undergo three years of additional education after dental school to specialize in periodontics. This gives periodontists a more in-depth understanding of the complex issues that can affect the gums, connective tissue, and other structures that anchor teeth. Our periodontists at The View DSC in Arcadia, CA, near San Gabriel, CA, bring years of education, training, and experience to the clinic, and help to diagnose patients accurately and resolve issues effectively.
If youve noticed that your gums and the sensitive tissues around your teeth are inflamed, painful, or otherwise damaged, periodontic services may be able to help. Periodontic techniques are designed to eliminate infection, stop harmful decay, and restore the health of your gums and connective tissues. We provide periodontic services at The View DSC in Arcadia, CA, near San Gabriel, CA, to treat and heal a wide range of conditions ranging from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis. Early intervention can help to save you from pain and further damage down the road, though it is never too late to get the help that your mouth needs.
Advanced periodontal issues are usually clear to the sufferer, their dentist, and the periodontist. However, early intervention can help to preserve tooth health and strength, and prevent pain and discomfort later on. We use dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to get an in-depth look at the inner structures supporting your teeth, so we can detect early signs and symptoms of illness or decay. This x-ray imaging technology gives us a 3-dimensional model of your teeth, gums, nerves, bones, and other structures, so we get a full picture of your oral health. With this information, we can detect health concerns before they become problems and develop the best treatment options.
Oral surgery includes removing or restructuring teeth, parts of the jawbones, or nearby structures. In some cases, such as wisdom teeth removal, there is simply not enough room in the mouth for these teeth, so they must be removed. In other cases, an injury may require a bone graft or similar procedure. Or, a biopsy may be needed to diagnose unhealthy cell growth around the mouth. Our oral surgeons use the most advanced technology to diagnose oral health concerns and make oral surgery procedures as minimally invasive as possible. At The View DSC in Arcadia, CA, near San Gabriel, CA, our oral surgeons use years of experience to perform all types of common and complex surgeries.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons do not only deal with issues concerning teeth and gums. These specialists also diagnose and treat issues affecting the jaws, forehead, cheekbones, skull, and other areas around the mouth and face. This requires years of training and education, including dental school and 4 to 6 years of training after dental school. Oral surgeons are trained to address functional as well as aesthetic issues that are making it difficult for you to eat or chew, or issues that are affecting your appearance. With years of experience and education, oral surgeons have the skills necessary to diagnose and resolve issues quickly.
There are many types of oral surgery, though tooth extraction is the most common. Tooth extraction can help to make room for other teeth or remove teeth that dont have enough space to come in properly, like wisdom teeth. Tooth extraction can also be used to remove teeth that are damaged or decayed, so the patient can get a dental implant instead. If your teeth or jaw bone have been damaged in an accident, oral surgery can also help to restore the damage.
X-ray technology is essential for accurate, precise oral surgery. Our oral surgeons at The View DSC in Arcadia, CA use dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to get a close, detailed view of the affected teeth, soft tissues, nerves, and more. This technology constructs a 3-dimensional view of the patients mouth, so oral surgeons get the clearest possible view of the issue and the most information to help the surgery.
Damage to a tooths root canal is one of the most common causes of teeth loss. Infections in the root canal can severely damage the rest of the tooth, as well as surrounding teeth. To combat these deep-set infections, endodontists use root canal procedures. The root canal system is complex and cleaning these areas presents challenges. The GentleWave Procedure uses state-of-the-art technology to remove an infection from this area faster and more effectively, with shorter healing times.
The GentleWave Procedure provides a minimally invasive alternative to traditional root canal procedures. GentleWave uses a powerful combination of fluids and energy to clean deep into microscopic spaces that traditional root canal treatments can miss. The GentleWave Procedure can typically clean and fill the tooth in just one session, reducing the number of visits needed for complete root canal therapy. This minimally invasive procedure also helps to preserve more of the natural tooth and promotes faster healing.
While helping patients maintain the strength of their teeth and return to their routine faster, GentleWave also provides a safer, more sanitary method for treating infected teeth. The GentleWave procedure uses a closed-loop system, which has been shown to produce virtually no aerosols. This helps to dramatically reduce the spread of illness, particularly COVID-19, giving staff and patients safety and peace of mind.
