Prevention Today for a Healthy Smile Tomorrow

Preventive dentistry is the key to maintaining a healthy, disease-free smile. When you visit us routinely for basic services like exams and dental cleanings, you can stay a step ahead of cavities and gum disease that compromise your oral health. 

Comprehensive Dental Exams

Dr. Sondhi agrees with the recommendation of the American Dental Association that patients should be seen by a dentist every six months. We will evaluate your current oral health during these checkups, look for cavities and gum disease, and plan treatment if necessary. 

You deserve to be informed about your oral health, and we use technology like digital x-rays and intraoral cameras that allow you to follow along with us during your exams. Seeing is believing, and being part of the process rather than sitting passively helps you understand what the problem is, why we recommend treatment, and how it will benefit your oral health. 

Teeth Cleaning Appointments

teeth cleaning in Rancho Peñasquitos Dental CenterPeriodontal disease affects half of all US adults over age 30, but it is highly preventable. One reason that gum disease is prevalent is that it often exists and causes damage without the patient’s knowledge. 

Prompt gum disease treatment is crucial as it can threaten your teeth and gums as well as your general health and well-being. Untreated gum disease has been linked to cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, and many other conditions. 

The best way to protect your family against the dangers of gum disease is through routine teeth cleanings with one of our skilled and caring hygienists. Seeing you every six months allows us to look for signs of gum disease and start treatment before it threatens your oral health and well-being.

Some patients who have a history of gingivitis or gum disease will benefit from teeth cleanings three or four times a year. Since we customize cleaning schedules for each patient, your hygienist will let you know what is appropriate to stay a step ahead of the disease and maintain healthy gums.

General Dentistry Technology

Laser Dentistry in Rancho Peñasquitos Dental Center

Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry isn't a recent innovation and has been widely used for over 25 years! Using dental lasers, we can complete treatments so comfortably that, in many cases, patients don't require anesthetics. 

Some of the ways we use laser dentistry at our San Diego dental office are:

  • Treat gum disease
  • Treat canker sores and cold sores
  • Recontour the gumline

Dental lasers also reduce bleeding, shorten treatment and healing times, and help minimize the risk of infection after treatment.

Electric Handpieces in Rancho Peñasquitos Dental Center

Electric Handpieces

There are many triggers for dental anxiety, and one of the most common is the sound and sensations of an air-driven dental drill. Since our handpieces are electric, there’s no high-pitched whining sound and no uncomfortable vibration.

Electric handpieces also allow our dentists to be precise when preparing teeth to receive restorations like fillings, crowns, bridges, or veneers.

 

VELScope Oral Cancer Screening in Rancho Peñasquitos Dental Center

VELScope Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer isn't hard to detect or diagnose with routine screenings. Unfortunately, survival rates are often low because oral cancer isn't detected until its later stages. Your good oral and general health are crucial to us, and we use VELScope technology to easily detect abnormal oral tissue, including those that are cancerous or pre-cancerous.

With early detection using VELScope, the 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is close to 90%.
