A general dental clinic provides various preventative and restorative solutions for patients in and around San Francisco, California. Drs. Terri Nguyen and Laura Huynh of West Portal Family Dentistry are dedicated to helping new and returning patients and families with their oral health needs and can offer some generalized care for patients of all ages!
What are some of our clinic’s more common general dental care solutions?
Drs. Nguyen and Huynh are pleased to offer the following services:
- Routine dental cleanings and evaluations. A healthy smile starts with proper care and monitoring from our dental staff. We encourage patients to visit every six months for cleanings and evaluations to look for the early signs of disease and decay
- Fluoride treatment and dental sealants. Being proactive about protecting the teeth from decay can be achieved with the use of fluoride applications and dental sealants, both effective ways of strengthening the natural tooth structure to fight against oral health problems
- Mouthguards. Our team can reduce the risk of severe damage to the teeth and gums with the use of customized mouthguards
- Tooth-colored fillings. Areas of decay are successfully treated with tooth-colored fillings made from a special composite resin material that looks natural while being effective in sealing off the tooth from further damage or infection
- Inlays and onlays. Conservative restoration of the natural tooth is achieved with inlays and onlays; effective solutions when damage cannot be effectively treated with composite resin bonding but is not severe enough to need a dental crown
- Dental crowns and bridges. Our dental team often addresses damaged or missing teeth with crowns and bridges. Crowns cover a natural tooth to offer an extra layer of protection, while dental bridges are used to replace one or more teeth in a row within the dental arch
- Dental implants. Replacing missing teeth can also be achieved with the use of dental implants, which are titanium posts embedded in the natural jawbone, allowing a stable and strong repair
- Dentures. Our team is pleased to offer dentures for tooth replacement and offer a variety of options to choose from, including partial dentures, full dentures, immediate dentures, and implant-retained dentures
- Root canal therapy. While our patients often fear this procedure, it is a necessary treatment for many who would like to maintain a natural tooth and avoid extraction. Also known as endodontic therapy, this procedure is performed to remove the dental pulp from the inside of the tooth and fill it to preserve the tooth in the smile
- Dental extractions. Drs. Nguyen and Huynh offer extractions to remove one or more teeth through surgical or simple extraction
