Rite Dentist: Holistic Dentist in Valley Village, CA

Holistic Dental Services We Provide

When seeking a dental office, you want your dental team to provide a wide range of services. At Rite Dentist, our team of doctors, assistants, and hygienists have the experience and skill to diagnose your dental problems accurately.

Our holistic practice offers the treatment options you and your family need along with the assurance that your dental care is whole-health oriented.

General Dentistry

General dentistry covers all your routine dental care, including exams and cleanings, as well as diagnosing and treating dental ailments and conditions. Regular visits for general dental care help you protect yourself from tooth decay, damage, tooth loss, mouth pain and dramatically reduce the need for subsequent procedures.

General dentistry also includes screenings for gum disease, oral cancer, and other mouth issues.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when a person’s breathing stops intermittently during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea can sometimes be resolved through dental treatment. Sleep apnea can cause severe problems, including:

•         Cardiovascular disease
•         Heart failure
•         High blood pressure
•         Stroke
•         Diabetes
•         Heart arrhythmias

Sleep apnea can also affect your sleep quality, leading to tiredness, irritability, low performance at work and school, and a weakened immune system.

Emergency Dentistry

There are many reasons why you might need emergency dental treatment. For example, suppose you have dental trauma from an accident or an infected tooth that is swollen and causing pain. In that case, it is crucial to get to the Valley Village dental office immediately.

Toothaches become emergencies when the pain persists, appears suddenly, or is severe. In addition, toothaches may result from infection or damage the tooth irritating the nerve. Tooth infections that are not dealt with right away can turn into an abscess which is even more stressful on your body. 

Sedation Dentistry

For many people, just thinking about dental visits causes anxiety and stress. Because of the level of care and stress-free zone, most patients opt to become sedated for their dental treatments as we don’t recommend it to anybody. However, due to the severity of the surgery, some patients may request/need to be sedated. Our team will discuss sedation options if deemed necessary.

Using aromatherapy, specific supplements are taken before or after dental treatments. Oral or inhaled sedatives can help you relax and help you manage anxiety. The level of sedative used depends on the planned procedure and your stress levels.

Frenectomy

A frenectomy is a standard and simple procedure that removes the connective tissues under the lip or the tongue. A patient with a short frenulum can be “tongue-tied”; this condition can interfere with speech.

Dentists perform the frenectomy to “release” the tongue and lip. A frenectomy may also allow braces or dentures to fit correctly.

Typically, frenum abnormalities are corrected shortly after birth, although it is not unusual for people to wait until they have grown up. However, having an experienced dentist perform the frenectomy is essential.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry includes various procedures and treatments designed to perfect your healthy smile. However, even the healthiest smiles may have gaps between teeth, discoloration of the enamel, even chips or cracks that not only make your smile less perfect but may also put you at risk for decay and damage down the road.

Some of the holistic, cosmetic dentistry procedures and treatments we offer include:

•         Porcelain dental veneers
•         Porcelain dental crowns
•         Tooth-colored fillings
•         Teeth whitening
•         Orthodontics
•         ICON®

ICON: is a dental treatment used to correct white spots on the surface of teeth, usually after orthodontic treatment. It is non-invasive and requires no drilling. Instead, conditioning the tooth is done, so the Icon® resin properly soaks in and sticks to the pores of the teeth and smoothens the surfaces. Next, a UV light is used to cure and attach the resin material to the tooth and then polished afterward.  The entire Icon® application process usually does not take longer than an hour.

Invisalign

Invisalign tooth aligners are a holistic-friendly alternative to metal orthodontic braces. Invisalign uses clear plastic to make the aligners, which allow the teeth to be gradually moved into the proper position, just like metal braces but without the damage that can occur to the tooth enamel and gum tissue.
