Are you looking for a safe and experienced family dentist in Southern California? Check out Downey Dental Arts. Our certified dentists and caring staff are here for you and your family, no matter the dental problem. From a baby’s first tooth and kids needing braces to wisdom teeth removal, we can help your entire family maintain and improve oral health.
Some dentists specialize only in services just for adults, such as cosmetic dentistry. While we do offer cosmetic dentistry at Downey Dental Arts, we are also family dentists serving your entire family. We provide a wide range of dental and orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages, including cavity treatment, braces, and dental emergencies. Our personable and friendly staff will help you and your children feel well taken care of.
Children's dentistry is the specific branch of dentistry dedicated to the treatment of children. Children have special oral health needs as their teeth are still growing, and our qualified children's dentist team at Downey Dental Arts can help.
Everyone in the family should visit us at Downey Dental Arts for a dental checkup twice a year. We perform a thorough oral exam at least once per year, along with taking X-rays to check the status of the teeth. Then we conduct a dental checkup halfway through the year to make sure everything looks good. We also perform an oral cancer screening during your dental exam to catch any possible problems early on so we can treat them early before they become more severe issues.
Dental cleanings should occur twice a year at least. These routine teeth cleanings are critical for the long-term oral health of you and your family. At these dental cleanings, our skilled dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar, which can build up and cause problems such as cavities and gum disease.
Traditional X-rays have been used safely for years to look at what is going on with teeth, but digital X-rays are even better. Why? Digital X-rays can emit approximately 80% less radiation. We can also take more precise pictures to get a better idea of what is going on inside the mouth.
One of the best ways to prevent cavities is through fluoride treatment. This routine treatment for children is easy and painless. It can help bolster enamel and help teeth retain their strength. Adults can also benefit from fluoride treatments when tooth enamel is wearing thin.
When you or your child has a cavity, our team at Downey Dental Arts can help. We use the latest technologies as well as non-toxic filling material such as composite resin. Composite fillings blend in with the teeth and prevent the teeth from degrading further.
Often, as your children become teenagers, they will need a wisdom tooth extraction. The wisdom teeth are large molars in the far back of the mouth and the last permanent teeth to erupt. Because they often crowd other teeth, they are routinely removed for comfort and dental hygiene purposes. However, more and more adults are also getting their wisdom teeth removed, as well!
Sedation is used to relax patients or put them to sleep during dental surgery. Sometimes sedation is used for dental anxiety. At Downey Dental Arts, we offer a variety of sedation options to help keep you and your kids comfortable.
