Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed in the jawbone to restore missing teeth. They preserve jawbone health, enhance smiles, and improve functionality. Ridgecrest Dentistry uses CBCT imaging for precise planning and offers same-day crowns via CEREC technology. Dr. Ahn has placed over 1,000 implants with a high success rate.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening removes stains and discoloration using hydrogen peroxide gels and Zoom! laser technology. Options include in-office treatments and custom take-home trays. Results can brighten teeth up to eight shades, boosting confidence with immediate, long-lasting effects.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry addresses aesthetic concerns through veneers, crowns, implants, and whitening. Services like smile makeovers combine treatments to align, reshape, or restore teeth. Ridgecrest Dentistry offers photo-imaging to preview results and ensures restorations blend naturally with existing teeth.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental services treat acute issues like cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, or severe pain. Ridgecrest Dentistry provides same-day appointments and utilizes advanced tools like CBCT scans for rapid diagnosis. Treatments include extractions, root canals, and same-day crowns to alleviate pain and save natural teeth.
Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar to prevent gum disease and decay. Ridgecrest Dentistry offers routine cleanings with ultrasonic tools and fluoride treatments. The hygienists use piezoelectric therapy and glycine air polishing for deep cleaning, emphasizing preventive care to maintain oral and systemic health.
