]]> At Plaza Dental Care, our dentists, Dr. Sean and Dr. Sepi offer scaling and root planing for our patients who find themselves fighting chronic gum disease. Also known as periodontal disease, this is a highly treatable oral disease, especially in the early stages. In this stage, our dentists can often turn around gum disease with this non-surgical deep cleaning treatment.

Along with improved dental hygiene, including brushing and flossing daily to remove that bacterial film called plaque, scaling and root planing can help your gums avoid the more destructive stages that can occur as the gums progress in infection.

When you receive a scaling and root planing treatment, plaque and tartar (or hardened plaque) is removed below the gums by your dentist. This is the scaling treatment. To do the root planing, your dentist will clean your tooth roots, and the bacteria on the roots will be smoothed away (planing). Doing this will help you to keep your supportive bone material intact and prevent tooth loss.

While this is a painless procedure, some patients prefer breaking it up into several appointments where one section is deep cleaned at a time. We also offer sedative options for those patients who have dental anxiety and wish to be as comfortable as possible during procedures. Our goal is to provide you with the quality care you need in the comfort you deserve.

Our dentists in Vallejo, California, are ready to give you the help you need to overcome chronic gum disease. We invite you to schedule a scaling and root planing treatment with our Plaza Dental Care team at 707-642-1360.

]]> Welcome to Plaza Dental Care, a  comprehensive, family-friendly dental practice in Vallejo, California, where we use state-of-the-art dental technology, including CEREC® one-visit restorations for our patients seeking a high-quality, natural-looking dental crown.

As well as covering a tooth that is damaged, weakened or discolored, our porcelain dental crown can be used to help a tooth’s shape or appearance to look more attractive, and also to keep the bite healthy as a crown prevents the teeth from shifting.

Our porcelain dental crowns are created to match your own pearly whites, making them a natural-looking replacement. The life of a dental crown can run anywhere between five to fifteen years, depending on the amount of stress you place on it and how well you care for your oral health in general. Taking excellent care of your crown means staying on top of your oral health which includes:

  1. Brushing at least twice a day
  2. Flossing daily at least once (particularly around the crown area where your gums reach the tooth)
  3. Avoiding hard foods, biting your fingernails and grinding and clenching your teeth
  4. Keeping up with routine professional dental cleanings and exams

Do you have a damaged or missing tooth that may benefit from wearing a dental crown? If so, Dr. Sean and Dr. Sepi in Vallejo, California, are here to help restore your smile in just one visit. To schedule visit with our skilled team, please call 707-642-1360 today and let us restore your smile confidence!
