General Dentistry in Orange CA

Maintaining a healthy smile requires more than just brushing at home; it demands a partner who understands your long-term needs.

At Restoration Dental OC, we provide comprehensive general dental services designed to preserve your oral health through a gentle, patient-focused approach.

What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry serves as your primary defense against oral health issues.

Unlike specialized fields that focus on aesthetics or alignment, general dentistry encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw.

Our office integrates modern diagnostic technology to detect problems early, ensuring precise and comfortable care.

Whether providing routine checkups for young children or restorative treatments for seniors, we customize every plan to fit the specific needs of our Orange, CA patients.

Our Preventive Dentistry Services

Preventive care creates the foundation of long-term oral health. We recommend a comprehensive dental visit every 6 months to detect potential issues early and maintain your hygiene.

Comprehensive Dental Exams

We conduct thorough Dental Exams to precisely assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and jaw alignment.

Precision: We use advanced diagnostic tools and clinical expertise to make highly accurate diagnoses and recommend the most effective, conservative solutions.

Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)

Daily brushing often misses 35-40% of tooth surfaces in hard-to-reach areas. Our skilled hygienists perform gentle Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis).

Oral Cancer Screenings

We screen for early signs of oral cancer during every routine visit. Our dentists meticulously inspect your soft tissues for any abnormalities. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Fluoride Treatments & Sealants

Fluoride Varnish: We apply professional-grade Fluoride Varnish to strengthen enamel and fight decay for up to 6 months.

Dental Sealants: For younger patients (ages 6-14) or adults prone to cavities, we place Dental Sealants on the molars. These thin protective coatings effectively block bacteria and food particles.

Basic Restorative Care

When dental damage occurs, we repair the tooth structure immediately to restore function and prevent further deterioration.

Tooth-Colored Fillings (Composite)

We treat cavities using durable, mercury-free Composite Fillings.

Process: Our dentists gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth and bond the biocompatible resin material directly to the enamel.

Aesthetics: We verify the shade match to your natural tooth color, ensuring a seamless, invisible restoration.

(Note:For more complex repairs involving structural damage, we also utilize Dental Crowns and Root Canal Therapy).
