Getting the dental treatment that you need means more than just routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and getting the occasional filling every now and then. Many patients face more advanced dental problems that require special treatments in order for such problems to be effectively addressed. To meet the serious dental care needs of our patients in the Redwood City and Palo Alto area, Manzo Dental offers advanced general dentistry.
During a consultation and dental examination, Dr. Arthur Manzo will determine if advanced dentistry will best address your unique dental health needs. As with cosmetic dentistry, there are many treatment options that Dr. Manzo can consider in order to improve the appearance of your smile as well as your overall dental health.
Advanced general dentistry will be able to address the many different structures that are in your mouth. This means the teeth, the gums and soft tissues, and the jaw joint can all be evaluated and treated through advanced care.
At our office serving the Redwood City and Palo Alto area, advanced general dentistry treatments will begin just as regular dental care treatments would: a consultation and comprehensive examination of the various structures of your mouth. Once a problem or potential problem has been identified, Dr. Manzo will then develop a treatment plan that will best meet your needs. Below are just a few treatments that are part of advanced general dentistry care.
Gum disease can be more serious than just a little discoloration and swelling. If untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which can result in gum recession, discomfort, tooth misalignment, and even tooth loss. Periodontal treatment can help reverse the damage done by gum disease and restore the gumline to improve the appearance of your smile and ensure your continued dental health.
The use of lasers is the latest advancement in state-of-the-art dental care. Laser dentistry allows for exceptionally accurate diagnostics and remarkable treatment of soft tissues in the mouth. On the diagnostic side, laser dentistry allows Dr. Manzo to accurately pinpoint cavities, tooth decay, and even the first signs of a potential cavity. This means dental problems can get addressed earlier and more effectively. In terms of soft tissue treatment, laser dentistry allows Dr. Manzo to address gum disease and other issues with the gums
TMJ disorders are common dental problems that involve issues with the joint in the jaw. Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include clicking in the jaw, popping of the jaw, jaw pain, lockjaw, and even ear aches and headaches. Bite analysis will allow Dr. Manzo to determine if there is an issue with a patient’s jaw joint and will help dictate the proper treatment plan to pursue.
Advanced general dentistry treatment will give you a reason to smile. Not only will you look better, but the treatments will reduce the effects of dental problems that can happen down the road.
