DIAGNOdent - This laser cavity detector is one of the latest, state-of-the-art advances for protecting your teeth.

It is especially useful for diagnosing decay on the chewing surfaces of your teeth. These usually very small cavities can then be restored before they further develop.

Invisalign treatment straightens your teeth without the need for traditional braces in a much more patient friendly process. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Invisalign treatment is best suited for those who have mild crowding or spacing and is a better alternative than braces for such cases. They are virtually undetectable, easy to use, and comfortable to wear.

Depending on the versatility and the level of sedation the patient requires, Dr. Guerra will occasionally refer you to a highly reputable oral surgeon that Dr. Guerra works regularly with. Dr. Guerra will administer a local anesthetic before the removal of any tooth. For multiple extractions, oral sedation or IV sedation may be used. We require that you have a family member or close friend accompany you to the office and bring you home after your procedure if oral sedation is used since it may make you groggy and no patient should drive a vehicle in this state.

There are many possible reasons for this which can include bruxism (teeth grinding), general decay, cracked fillings, root canals, and many others. If using a filling is not an option, Dr. Guerra may recommend that the best viable option to save the tooth is a full crown. The reasons for this type of restoration in a badly damaged tooth are durability, cosmetic appearance, and overall support of the chewing function. The process takes 2 sessions.
