A Healthy Smile is a Happy Smile
Your oral health is of utmost importance to us. Here at Renaissance Dental, we feature several tooth replacement options and high-quality, effective treatments to restore the complete health and happiness of your smile. Explore the restorative dental treatments we offer here at our Rancho Cucamonga practice.
Dental Implants
Tooth loss can influence the way you speak, which foods you eat, and even how often you smile. Dr. Stockdale uses beautiful, natural-looking dental implants to restore any number of missing or damaged teeth and enhance the appearance of your smile.
Implants integrate with the jawbone to replace the natural tooth root for a long-lasting, durable foundation — and best of all, they’re the only restorative solution that promotes healthy bone growth.
Dentures
Dentures are an affordable, comfortable tooth replacement option for patients missing several teeth, an entire arch, or all of their teeth. With our removable dentures, Dr. Stockdale can restore your ability to speak clearly and eat all of your favorite foods again. They can also be used to improve your overall appearance and prevent signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth becomes decayed or damaged, you’ll likely experience mild to severe pain and discomfort. Fortunately, we can safely extract your tooth to help restore your oral health, prevent further complications, and get your smile back on track.
Dr. Stockdale also provides tooth extractions for several other reasons, such as an erupted, overcrowded, or damaged tooth, and severe dental trauma.
Scaling and Root Planing
As plaque hardens into tartar, it can develop into harmful bacteria that cause infections in your gums, jaw, and teeth, commonly known as periodontal (gum) disease. Leaving it untreated can result in severe damage to your gum tissue and bone and even tooth loss.
Dr. Stockdale uses an effective periodontal treatment called scaling and root planing to tackle mild or moderate cases of gum disease. It’s a safe and easy procedure, allowing us to restore the health of your gums and teeth for a smile that’ll last for many years to come.
Bone Grafting
When your jawbone becomes weak or damaged, we can use bone grafting to provide the stimulation it needs. This procedure helps restore your jawbone density to provide a strong, durable foundation for your dental implant.
With a bone graft, Dr. Stockdale can prepare your mouth for successful implant placement, helping you achieve a newly restored, beautiful smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ideal candidates for dentures are patients missing multiple or all of their teeth in their upper or lower jaw. It’s also important to have a sufficient amount of healthy gum tissue and jawbone. Our dentures are custom-made to perfectly fit your bite, restoring your ability to speak and chew with ease.
At your consultation, Dr. Stockdale will review your medical history and examine your oral health to determine whether you’re an ideal candidate for dentures.
If you have gum disease, it’s still possible to get dental implants. Dr. Stockdale will require you to undergo periodontal (gum) treatment, such as scaling and root planing, to restore the health of your teeth and gums before implant placement. This will ensure that your dental implants heal correctly and successfully, giving you a smile that’ll look more stunning than ever before.
Depending on your case, Dr. Stockdale may require you to come in for more frequent dental cleanings to help maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Periodontal (gum) treatment consists of a deep, thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums to control the bacteria that cause gum disease. This procedure is known as scaling and root planing, where our Rancho Cucamonga dentist will safely remove any tartar, plaque, and bacteria from hard-to-reach places between your teeth. It’s a minimally invasive and common procedure that’s conveniently performed here at Renaissance Dental Care.
Getting a tooth extracted can hurt, but we’ll provide you with local anesthesia during the procedure to relieve any pain or discomfort you may feel. If you’re still experiencing pain after the procedure, Dr. Stockdale recommends taking over-the-counter medication to help manage the pain.
Common medications include acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve).
