Metal-Free Fillings

As with crowns, fillings are used to help patients treat a decayed tooth. Fillings literally “fill in” the area that was once occupied by decay, preventing it from spreading further. In the past, dentists used fillings made of silver, mercury, and other metals, but today metal-free fillings are the standard.  Metal-free fillings are also known as tooth-colored fillings because the material they’re made from—composite resin—can be shaded to match your smile’s natural color.

Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns are restorations that fit completely over the top of a damaged or decayed tooth. We recommend crowns for a number of reasons including repairing damaged or decayed teeth, concealing cosmetic flaws, fortifying root canal treated teeth, and replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth. Our skilled dentists offer high quality, natural looking and feeling dental crown restorations.

With a service known as sedation dentistry, we help patients exactly like you overcome those negative feelings to have a completely new kind of experience.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most common oral surgeries, performed on most people at some point to alleviate problems with their wisdom teeth. When your wisdom teeth fail to erupt or they develop improperly, it can cause a number of functional issues with your wisdom teeth themselves or surrounding teeth. A partially erupted tooth can leave you open to a higher risk of gum disease or infection. At Santa Monica Dentists, we can perform your wisdom tooth removal.

Sleep Apnea Consultations

Do you struggle with daytime drowsiness or accidents at work, in your home, or behind the wheel? Do you have difficulty remembering things or struggle to concentrate? These are all signs of a condition known as sleep apnea. Patients with sleep apnea routinely stop breathing while asleep, forcing them to wake up to take a breath. Sleep apnea patients are also prone to loud snoring. Consequences of sleep apnea include inability to focus, lack of performance at work, memory loss, weight gain, higher risk for developing high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and car accidents, and it can even start to affect the quality of your relationship with your “significant other.” At our Santa Monica office, our dentists have performed hours of advanced training on this condition, and depending on your needs, we can help you tackle this condition and get you to the right sleep specialists for an improved night of sleep and improved quality of life.
