Our dental office offers state of the art Digital X-Rays that are faster, instantaneous and responds about radiation safety concerns being 90% less radiation than the conventional dental X-Rays.

Zoom whitening is effective and fast. At-Home Bleaching, uses professionally customized trays and bleaching gel kits to wear daily for one hour, which can take two to three weeks.

WHITE DENTAL FILLINGS

Ceramic and Resin Restorations: Tooth-colored restorations have revolutionized the dental profession. Teeth with large cavities and unsightly silver fillings can be restored and bonded with porcelain or white composite fillings, We create artistic tooth-colored restorations that are beautiful, strong and conservative. Highly polished and smooth, these restorations reinforce the tooth structure, and dramatically reduce plaque build-up that causes gingivitis, cavities and halitosis.

REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES

Removable Partial Dentures are beneficial and an option for patients that are missing several teeth. Some of the advantages are that It can be done in a short period of time and is more affordable that porcelain bridges and implants. Some of the dentures are metal-free like the Valplast brand and others are with metal.

GAPS AND SHORT FRONT TEETH

For patients that are not happy with their short teeth, gaps or gummy smile can ask for a simple procedure call gum re-contouring with a laser. 

STAINED TETRACYCLINE TEETH

Natural teeth can be permanently stained by Tetracycline medicine during childhood. If bleaching does not offer satisfactory results, porcelain veneers will remedy the situation.

CROOKED TEETH

For patients that have mild, moderate or severe misalignment of their front teeth, and are reluctant to consider Orthodontic treatment, we can design a beautiful new smile with porcelain veneers to correct misaligned teeth.

DIRECT COMPOSIVE VENEERS

Unlike porcelain veneers that are done in dental laboratories, these composite veneers can be done in the office by a dentist like Dr. Dao Kim Pham-Nguyen. The procedure will build up, artistically shape, reshape and polish the composite material on each selected tooth. 

RESTORE A BROKEN TOOTH

Not all broken teeth need costly porcelain crowns or veneers. The broken front tooth, shown here, was nicely restored using a bonding technique to repair the damage with a white composite.

SHORT FRONT TEETH (REVERSE SMILE)

When the upper front teeth are short, creates a space or a gap with the lower lip called "Reverse Smile" which can be unattractive. Ideally, upper teeth should follow the curvature of the lower lip for a more attractive smile. Actual patient of Dr. Dao Kim Pham-Nguyen.
