At Jennifer Lopez Dental, we provide a comprehensive range of general dental services to help you maintain and improve your oral health. These services are essential for preventing, diagnosing, and treating common dental issues, ensuring that your teeth and gums stay healthy throughout your life.
Here are some of the key general dental services we offer and why they are important:
By providing these general dental services, we help our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health. Regular dental care not only prevents problems but also improves your overall well-being, as a healthy mouth contributes to better general health. At Jennifer Lopez Dental, we are dedicated to making sure you receive the personalized care you need to keep your smile bright, healthy, and confident.
We recommend scheduling a dental checkup every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Regular visits allow us to catch potential issues early and provide professional cleanings to prevent plaque buildup.
During a routine exam, Dr. Lopez will check for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. We may also take X-rays to detect problems below the surface. Your appointment will include a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, leaving your smile fresh.
Yes, at Jennifer Lopez Dental, we offer comprehensive treatment for gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Gum disease is a common but serious condition that affects the health of your gums and supporting bone structure around your teeth. It ranges from mild inflammation (gingivitis) to more advanced stages that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
For early-stage gum disease, our team provides scaling and root planing—a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line. This treatment helps control the infection and allows the gums to heal. We also offer periodontal maintenance services for patients who need ongoing care to prevent the progression of gum disease after initial treatment.
However, in more severe or advanced cases of gum disease, where there is significant damage to the gums or bone, Dr. Lopez may recommend a referral to a periodontist, a dental specialist who focuses on treating complex gum conditions. A periodontist can provide advanced treatments, such as gum surgery, bone grafting, or regenerative procedures, to restore lost tissue and prevent further damage. Referring you to a specialist ensures that you receive the most appropriate care for your specific condition.
At Jennifer Lopez Dental, we prioritize your oral health and work closely with trusted dental specialists when necessary to ensure you receive comprehensive and effective treatment. If you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease—such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth—don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment. Early intervention can help prevent further complications and maintain the health of your smile.
Absolutely! We offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, helping restore teeth affected by cavities or minor damage.
A dental crown is typically placed over two visits. During the first visit, Dr. Lopez will prepare your tooth and take an impression to create your custom crown. At your second visit, we’ll fit and bond the crown in place, restoring the strength and appearance of your tooth.
Yes, we provide emergency dental services to address urgent dental issues such as toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, and other immediate concerns. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, call our office, and we’ll accommodate you as soon as possible.
We offer various preventive services, including dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and professional cleanings, to help you avoid cavities and maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Yes, we welcome patients of all ages, including children! Our family-friendly office provides pediatric dental care, including regular checkups, cleanings, and preventive treatments to help kids develop healthy dental habits.
At Jennifer Lopez Dental, we understand that dental visits can cause anxiety. Our team is committed to providing gentle, compassionate care in a relaxed environment. Let us know if you’re feeling nervous, and we’ll ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
