Services
Family Dentistry
Our comprehensive family dentistry services cater to patients of all ages in Poway. From routine exams and cleanings to pediatric care and TMJ therapy, we provide preventive and restorative treatments tailored to each family member's needs. Our approach emphasizes patient education and early intervention to maintain lifelong oral health while creating comfortable experiences for children and adults alike.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer permanent, secure solutions for missing teeth with 90-95% success rates. Our practice provides single-tooth replacements to full-arch restorations using titanium posts that integrate with jawbone tissue. This treatment preserves facial structure and functions like natural teeth while preventing bone loss associated with tooth loss through advanced surgical placement techniques.
NTI-Tss Therapy
NTI-Tss devices provide FDA-approved migraine and tension headache relief by preventing jaw clenching. This small acrylic appliance worn at night reduces muscle contractions in the jaw and scalp by 66%, effectively breaking the pain cycle caused by bruxism. Our dentists custom-fit these devices to address both dental wear and chronic headache symptoms.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting chips, stains, and spacing issues in just two visits. These thin ceramic shells bond to front teeth for durable, natural-looking results that resist staining. We provide detailed consultations to ensure predictable outcomes, with follow-up adjustments to maintain optimal aesthetics and function for years.
Periodontal Therapy
Our periodontal therapy addresses gum disease through scaling and root planing procedures. By removing plaque and bacterial toxins from below the gumline, we treat gingivitis and prevent progression to periodontitis. This deep cleaning process smooths root surfaces to promote gum reattachment and halt tissue destruction while preserving supporting bone structures.
