Affordable Family and Implant Dentistry in Washington

General dentistry covers a wide range of procedures and services, all with the same common goals: to assist a patient in preserving their original teeth for a long time, ensuring their oral health, and keeping them feeling and looking great throughout their lives.

Oral health is a critical constituent of general health. According to medical research, there are connections between common oral infections and severe general health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the health of your gums, teeth, and other oral tissues. Some of the general dentistry procedures we offer at Washington Dental include the following:

• Oral exams and cleanings to keep gums and teeth healthy and detect early symptoms of dental diseases
• Bridgework and crowns to replace missing teeth or lost tooth structure
• Extractions to take out unhealthy teeth that cannot be saved
• Dental implants; replacement teeth that last forever
• Dental fillings for restoring decayed teeth
• Oral cancer screening to detect oral cancer that can be treated if detected early
• Removable dentures to help patients smile again 
• Sealants to assist in preventing cavities
• Root canal therapy to save diseased teeth
• Tooth decay prevention, so a patient keep their original teeth for the longest time possible
• TMD treatment to relieve pain in the jaw area that can interfere with chewing and biting

A dental-elated emergency can arise anytime, even when you have stuck to your routine oral hygiene habits. When you have a dental emergency, visiting a dentist is critical to saving yourself from further complications and pain. Common dental-related emergencies include:

• Knocked-out teeth
• Dislodged teeth
• Abscessed teeth or gums
• Wisdom teeth problems
• Severe tooth pain

At Washington Dental, we are a renowned dental practice offering emergency dental services throughout Carson and the surrounding cities. We provide a wide range of dental procedures to remedy dental emergencies, all at an affordable cost.

At Washington Dental, we have experienced and skilled dentists who conduct all cosmetic procedures. Our practice is usually recommended as the best for cosmetic dental services. We are equipped with advanced equipment designed with the most recent technologies and strive to offer painless treatments, ensuring our patients' satisfaction.

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses all those dental procedures focusing on esthetics instead of dental health. We offer a wide array of these procedures, such as:

• Teeth whitening to remove the stains from the surface of your teeth caused by dark-colored drinks (like berries, tea, and coffee) and foods, lightening your teeth's shade and brightening your smile.
• Dental veneers. Dental veneers are thin, strong shells placed on the tooth surface to conceal cosmetic flaws, including discoloration, cracks, and chips. Veneers are made of different materials, including porcelain and composite.
• Dental bonding involves applying tooth-colored composite resin to conceal discoloration, hairline cracks (craze lines), cracks, and other cosmetic imperfections. Dental bonding can alter a tooth's shape to make it wider, longer, or more uniform.
• Gum contouring to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line for a more symmetrical, balanced appearance. Gum contouring corrects an unbalanced or gummy smile.
• Tooth contouring, which is done to remove small enamel amounts to change teeth's shape.

We boast expert cosmetic dental professionals and guarantee quality results from your initial appointment. Contact us to determine what cosmetic dental procedure best suits your needs.

Dental care for minors requires extra caution and care. Only a dental professional trained specifically to treat minors can provide this. Most people wonder why they need a pediatric dentist instead of just taking their child to a regular dentist or why taking their child to a dentist is important. These are the various reasons that make pediatric dentistry essential:

• Pediatric dentists are specially trained to remedy dental problems among minors.
• Pediatric dentistry centers more on dental preventive measures; thus, it makes it essential from an early age.
• The pediatric wing of a dental practice is designed and decorated appealingly; therefore, it is less intimidating for a child.
• Pediatric dentists utilize smaller child-friendly tools. These pieces of equipment are designed not to intimidate the minor and can be comfortably used.
• Dental diseases can begin when a child is as young as six months old during the first tooth's eruption. Therefore, periodic check-ups to prevent cavities and other dental problems are essential.

At Washington Dental, we have experts specializing in pediatric care. We offer pediatric dental services at an affordable cost and ensure our child patients are comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure. Call us to set up an appointment for your child.

If you are missing one, multiple, or all of your teeth due to a congenital disability, an accident, or oral health problems, a prosthodontist can restore your beautiful smile and biting and chewing abilities. Prosthodontists focus on designing, fabricating, and placing artificial replacements for damaged or missing teeth and other places in your mouth. Examples of prosthodontic services include:

• Dental crowns— tooth-shaped caps that cover a decaying or damaged tooth. Once fixed, a dental crown covers the whole enamel part that sits above the gum line. Crowns restore the affected teeth to their original shape, size, and condition and prevent further damage.
• Dental bridges— prosthetics placed to fill spaces or gaps in teeth. They comprise a pontic (false tooth) and two crowns. The prosthodontic bonds the dental crowns to healthy teeth on either side of the gap in the teeth, preventing tooth day and bone loss.
• Dentures—if you lack adequate jawbone to support implants but have all or most of your teeth missing, dentures are an ideal option. Dentures are dental prosthetics comprising artificial gum tissue and a complete set of teeth. You apply an adhesive at the bottom of every denture to secure it in place.
• Dental implants— metal frames or posts surgically inserted into the jawbone underneath the gums. Once placed, the prosthodontist mounts replacement teeth on them. Implants restore an individual's ability to chew and their appearance.
• Dental or teeth bonding— dental bonding is the procedure whereby tooth-colored resin material is applied to teeth and then hardened using a special light that bonds the resin to the tooth. Dental bonding is performed to repair decayed, cracked, chipped, or gapped teeth, restoring or improving a patient's smile.

Other prosthodontic services are bone grafts, full mouth reconstruction, Inlays and Onlays, pre-prosthetic surgery, TMJ disorder treatment, and treatment of facial injuries.

At Washington Dental, we boast expert prosthodontists who safely address complex dental problems. Call us to schedule an appointment for your prosthodontic needs. Our prosthodontists have also undergone training for various cosmetic procedures, such as crowns and veneers.

Periodontal dentistry focuses on preventing and treating diseases and conditions that impact teeth-supporting structures, like the cementum, gums, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. Gum or periodontal disease is an example of a disease that affects teeth-supporting structures. Periodontal disease can cause tooth decay, bad breath, and bone and tooth loss.

At Washington, we have expert periodontists who offer surgical procedures such as gum grafting and pocket reduction to treat conditions affecting teeth-supporting structures. We not only treat but also stress the importance of proper periodontal care. We provide our patients with tools and tips to improve home dental care and prevent future periodontal problems. Good periodontal care can enhance your mouth's health and protect your teeth. Call us today to schedule an appointment with one of our professional periodontists and say goodbye to your gum disease.

Some people do everything correctly as far as their oral health is concerned. They regularly visit the dentist, practice a proper home oral hygiene routine, and have healthy smiles. However, these people may still feel dissatisfied due to having misaligned or crooked teeth. Crooked teeth may cause dental health problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. Bacteria and food particles can become stuck in places where there are crowded teeth, making it challenging to remove them, even with thorough flossing and brushing.

At Washington Dental, we transform imperfect smiles into beautiful smiles by offering orthodontic dental services to correct crooked, irregular, protruding, spaced, misaligned, and crowded teeth. We also remedy malocclusions (overbites, crossbites, open bites, and underbites).

We use various orthodontic appliances such as braces, clear aligners, retainers, palate expanders, removable or fixed space maintainers, jaw surgery, headgear, TMJ splints, and other specialized appliances to harness the body's natural capability to remodel its tissue. This is achieved by the devices exerting force on the teeth to jump-start the dental process of gradually and gently reshaping the jawbone to shift the teeth into their proper position. If your teeth are correctly aligned, it will be easier to speak, eat, and brush or floss them. Do not hesitate to call us to learn how we can help you with orthodontic services.

The sensitive interior of your mouth can be diseased, infected, or damaged. At Washington Dental, we address problems affecting this part using our cutting-edge endodontic procedures, such as root canal therapy. For most people, the term "root canal" sends them chills. This will not be the case if you seek to undergo this procedure at our clinic.

Our endodontists use equipment and materials designed to make treatment procedures comfortable and effective. We use advanced tools like 3D cone beam CT imaging and digital X-rays, which make diagnosis and treatment more efficient. We also utilize microscopes to view the tiny spaces in the root canals for thorough treatment with lasting benefits.
