1. Preventive Care: Maintaining a Healthy Smile

We at Smile Savers Dentistry believe that prevention is key to maintaining optimal dental health. We can catch problems before they escalate and become expensive. Preventive care includes:

• Routine Exams & Cleanings: Regular examinations and professional cleanings form the basis of good oral health. Our team will check your mouth, teeth, and gums for any signs of gum disease or cavities. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar, which can cause cavities and gum diseases if not treated.

• Digital Radiography: Our digital radiography system provides high-resolution, clear images of your teeth, jaw, and mouth. This allows us to detect problems such as infections, bone loss, and cavities that are not visible in a routine examination. Digital X-rays are safer, faster, and more eco-friendly than traditional X-rays. They allow us to give you the most accurate diagnosis possible.

• Fluoride Treatments: The mineral fluoride helps to strengthen enamel and prevent decay. Fluoride treatments are part of our preventive services. This is especially true for children and those at higher risk for dental decay.

• Oral Cancer Screenings: Although oral cancer is a serious disease, it can be treated more effectively if detected early. We conduct thorough oral cancer screens during routine examinations to detect any suspicious signs or conditions that could indicate cancer.



• Sealants: Dental sealants help to prevent tooth decay by coating the chewing surfaces. This non-invasive, simple treatment is especially helpful for children and teenagers.

2. Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhancing the Appearance of Your Smile

Smile Savers Dentistry provides a range of cosmetic treatments that can help you achieve the smile of your dreams. A beautiful smile can boost your self-esteem and confidence. That's why we provide the following cosmetic treatments:

• Teeth Whitening: A bright, white smile can leave a lasting impression. Our in-office whitening treatments and at-home options can remove stains from food, drinks, tobacco, and aging. Our professional whitening treatments deliver dramatic results and are completely safe.

• Veneers: Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells custom-made to fit over your teeth. They improve the appearance of your smile by covering imperfections like chips, cracks, and stains. Veneers are a great way to transform your smile with just a couple of visits.

• Bonding: Dental bonding can fix minor flaws in your teeth, such as chipped, discolored, or cracked teeth. It is a simple, non-invasive treatment that can be done in one appointment.

We offer Smile Makeovers for patients who want to dramatically improve their smile. A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments that address your concerns and create an attractive, balanced smile.

3. Restorative Dentistry: Repairing Your Teeth and Restoring Them

We know that dental issues such as tooth decay, cracked teeth, and tooth loss have a major impact on your oral health and quality of life. We offer several restorative procedures at Smile Savers Dentistry to restore the strength and functionality of your teeth. These treatments include:

• Implants for Missing Teeth: Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. A titanium implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as a base for a denture, bridge, or crown. Implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. They can restore your confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling.

• Bridges and Crowns: Bridges and crowns can replace teeth that have been lost or severely damaged. Both restorations can be custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, giving them a natural look.

• Fillings: If a cavity develops, fillings can be used to restore that tooth. Our tooth-colored composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, offering a durable and discreet solution to tooth decay.

• Root Canals: When the pulp of a tooth is infected or irritated, a root canal may be necessary. The infected tissue is removed and the tooth is sealed to prevent further damage. A root canal can save a tooth that would have otherwise had to be removed.



• Dentures: If you are missing several teeth, dentures can be a removable option that restores your smile and functionality. Our full and partial dentures are custom-made and designed to fit securely and comfortably.

4. Gum Disease: LANAP as a Less Invasive Solution

Untreated gum disease can cause tooth loss. At Smile Savers Dentistry, we offer LANAP, a minimally invasive, advanced treatment for gum disease. LANAP uses a laser to remove infected tissues and promote healing, reducing the need for traditional surgery. This technique is less painful, causes less bleeding, and has a faster recovery time than traditional treatments.

5. Clear Aligners for Straighter Teeth

Smile Savers Dentistry, a dental practice in San Diego, offers clear aligners such as Invisalign to help straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. These custom-made transparent aligners gradually shift your teeth to their correct positions. Clear aligners allow you to brush and eat with ease during your treatment. They are discreet, comfortable, and removable.
