Maintaining a Healthy Smile
Here at Renaissance Dental Care, the function, appearance, and health of your smile are important to us. That’s why we provide comprehensive services for the entire family, ensuring each and every patient receives the quality care they deserve.
Dental Hygiene
Practicing good oral hygiene habits is essential in maintaining a healthy smile. This means brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing regularly. It’s also important to visit Renaissance Dental twice a year, or every six months, for a routine check-up and professional cleaning.
Dental Exams & Cleanings
During your regular check-up, we’ll complete a full exam of your mouth to look for signs of cavities, gum disease, and more. We’ll also clean and polish your teeth to protect your smile from any debris, plaque, or tartar build-up.
For new patients, we’ll take a full set of digital x-rays to get a better understanding of your oral health and check for issues that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Root Canal Therapy
The root canal is the deepest layer of your tooth, and can quickly become infected if a cavity, cracked or broken tooth is left untreated. The infection can cause inflammation, pain, gum swelling, and even tooth sensitivity.
Fortunately, Dr. Stockdale can save your tooth with effective and safe root canal therapy. We’ll create a small hole to remove the infected tissue and protect your tooth with a beautiful dental crown. Our crowns are crafted to match the look and feel of your natural teeth, so you’ll leave feeling confident in your smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you should still go to the dentist if you’re pregnant. It’s important for women to complete any major dental work before the last trimester of their pregnancy. It’s also just as crucial to schedule regular dental hygiene appointments to reduce the risk of developing pregnancy gingivitis, or gum inflammation.
If you have any questions, contact our Rancho Cucamonga office at (909) 987-0040 and a friendly member of our staff will answer any concerns you may have.
We require patients to update their x-rays once a year to assess their oral health and whether there are signs of gum or bone infections. It’s important to take x-rays each year to minimize the risk of excessive loss of tooth structure and bone loss, as well as prevent root canal treatment.
Visiting your dentist every six months for a regular check-up and teeth cleaning is necessary for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During a professional tooth cleaning, we’ll remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria built-up in hard-to-reach places that your toothbrush can’t reach.
This will protect your teeth from several dental problems, such as tooth decay, tooth loss, and periodontal disease.
Root canal therapy is completely safe and extremely effective for eliminating bacteria from an infected tooth. Using the latest technology, Dr. Stockdale can save your tooth, relieve pain or discomfort, and improve your oral health with root canal therapy. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that alleviates pain almost immediately after the procedure.
