Dr. JJ and his team enjoy the artistry of creating a beautiful smile as much as the science and precision that makes it possible.
For perfectly uniform teeth, this procedure utilizes tooth-colored composite material to repair chips, gaps or change the shape or color of a tooth. It can also fill the gaps between teeth and protect a portion of the root that may be exposed due to receding gums.
Since titanium can fuse with bone, the technology behind dental implants creates a permanent new tooth that looks and acts like the original. First, the screw-like post is placed surgically in the jawbone. The healing process usually takes several months for it to fuse. Then the permanent artificial tooth, which matches the shade and shape of your other teeth, is placed on top of the post.
To achieve your brightest possible smile, Dr. JJ provides a whitening treatment in the office. The advanced gel formula can remove years of stains and discoloration.
To correct a misshapen or jagged tooth with imperfections or flaws, he can use a high-speed abrasive buffing tool. He can also correct small chips in the tooth’s surface through enameloplasty.
This is an effective way to improve the esthetics and function of your smile. Tapping into the best imaging technology, Dr. JJ can apply custom-made shells over existing teeth to conceal cracks, chips, stains, cosmetic imperfections, or irregularities.
A 50-50 case of form vs function, Dr. JJ has introduced Invisalign to his practice as a means of gently and safely moving teeth into their optimal position.
Whether a tooth is heavily damaged and unfixable, decayed and unfillable, or part of an orthodontic plan to address crowded teeth — Dr. JJ will determine if it needs to go. After numbing the area with local anesthesia, Dr. JJ uses a special instrument to extract the tooth, and then properly clean and disinfect the socket. Stitches may be placed to promote faster healing.
For a set of teeth that are the best fit for each patient, Dr. JJ works with several types of dentures, including traditional, partials and implant-supported models. Function and esthetics are key considerations in choosing the style to fit each patient’s needs.
Before any procedure, Dr. JJ will go over exactly what he’s doing to put each patient’s anxiety to rest. Depending on the treatment, he will numb the area with local anesthetic.
Dr. JJ believes prevention will save you time, money, and pain in the long run. During your twice-yearly check-up, you’ll receive a professional cleaning and polishing, images will be taken of your teeth and mouth with advanced diagnostic equipment. He will also perform a preventive cancer screening.
Dr. JJ will clean and polish your teeth to their healthiest possible state. Not only does removing plaque prevent cavities, but he will also assess the health of your gums, and your bite. If a patient has recurring cavities, he may suggest a sealants treatment, which is a thin, protective coating he applies to the chewing surfaces to shield the teeth from cavity-causing bacteria.
Dr. JJ will thoroughly inspect your head and mouth to detect signs of cancer or pre-cancerous conditions. The earlier the cancer is addressed, the better the outcome. If he finds anything suspicious, he will send you to a specialist to check it out.
Investing in the growing field of high-tech diagnostics is important to Dr. JJ. The more accurate the imaging, the better the outcomes. Using a 3D Cone Beam CT helps him produce the most accurate images of your teeth, gums, and bite. Detecting conditions like infection or gum disease early helps save time, money, and discomfort.
Call the office and Dr. JJ can usually see you immediately if an emergency arises and your tooth is damaged or infected. You shouldn’t wait to treat an emergency dental situation. Please call to schedule or just come in.
What Qualifies as an Emergency?: If your tooth is cracked, broken, or knocked out during a game or because of a fall, or if you have sudden pain, bleeding, or swelling, you should see the dentist right away.
Dr. JJ takes time to educate patients about the best brushing practices, working with both parents and children if needed. He takes special care to find out about each patient’s brushing and flossing habits, providing tips for improving them, and touching on things to avoid, like smoking, candy, and sodas. Professional fluoride treatments at each check-up protect teeth, too. If decay is detected, he will do a filling, with a tooth-colored composite, that saves the durability of the tooth. He also offers fluoride treatments.
A dental bridge consists of crowns that fit over existing teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth. It’s important to replace missing teeth and restore chewing function and the esthetics of a smile. Depending on your situation, Dr. JJ can perform a traditional bridge that attaches to existing teeth with metal wings or create an implant-supported bridge that’s attached through implants.
If a tooth is cracked or decayed, following a root canal, Dr. JJ can prepare a crown to replace it and restore the mouth to its optimal function. He does this through a two-step process: During the first visit he will remove any cracked enamel or decay and get down to a healthy base. He puts a temporary crown on while the permanent one is made at the lab, thanks to the intraoral 3D imagery he takes. On the second visit, he affixes the permanent crown and shapes it as needed to match the other teeth.
