For Patients

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. During a filling procedure, the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is filled with a durable material to restore its shape, function, and strength. Fillings help to prevent further decay and restore the tooth's natural appearance.

If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or visible signs of decay, it's important to schedule a consultation with our experienced dentists, Dr. Mohamed Soliman or Dr. Fady Girgis. They will assess your dental health and discuss the best treatment options for restoring your teeth, including dental fillings.

To schedule a consultation and learn more about dental fillings, call us today at (916) 683-5732. Our friendly team is here to assist you and help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Don't wait any longer to address your dental concerns – take the first step toward optimal oral health by scheduling your appointment now!

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent cavities and decay. These surfaces often have deep grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria can easily get trapped, making them more susceptible to decay. Sealants act as a barrier, sealing off these vulnerable areas and preventing bacteria and food debris from accumulating.

During the sealant application process, the tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared before the sealant material is applied. The sealant is then hardened with a special light, creating a strong, protective shield over the tooth.

By scheduling an appointment with our dentists, you can learn more about the benefits of dental sealants and how they can help protect your teeth from cavities and decay. To take advantage of this preventive dental treatment and safeguard your oral health, call us today at (916) 683-5732. Our team is here to provide personalized care and help you maintain a healthy, cavity-free smile for years to come!

Gum Disease Therapy

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. It typically begins with inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), which, if left untreated, can progress to more severe forms of gum disease known as periodontitis.

Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and along the gumline. If plaque is not removed through proper oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed by a dental professional. Tartar buildup can irritate the gums and lead to gum disease.

If you've been diagnosed with gum disease, it's crucial to seek treatment promptly to prevent further damage to your oral health. Our dentists and team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Treatment options may include professional cleanings, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotic therapy, and other interventions aimed at controlling the infection and improving gum health.

Orthodontic Services

At Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry, we understand the importance of achieving a healthy and beautiful smile. If you're experiencing misalignment issues with your teeth and jaw, Dr. Soliman and our team may recommend orthodontic treatment to address these concerns.

Orthodontic treatment aims to straighten teeth, correct bite alignment, and improve overall dental health. One of the methods we use at our practice is ClearCorrect aligners. ClearCorrect aligners are a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions without the need for brackets or wires.

With ClearCorrect aligners, you can enjoy the benefits of a straighter smile without the hassle and discomfort often associated with traditional braces. The aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably, allowing you to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods with ease.

If you're interested in learning more about our orthodontic treatments and how ClearCorrect aligners can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted, we invite you to contact Smile Maker Dentistry at (916) 683-5732.

ClearCorrect

ClearCorrect is a modern orthodontic treatment option offered at Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry to help straighten teeth and enhance your smile's appearance. This treatment involves using custom-made, clear plastic aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. Unlike traditional braces with metal brackets and wires, ClearCorrect aligners are discreet and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Preventative Dentistry

Routine dental cleanings are vital for maintaining optimal oral health for you and your family. These appointments may seem routine, but they play a crucial role in preventing the buildup of bacteria and plaque, which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay over time. Additionally, regular dental visits provide our team with the opportunity to examine your mouth for any early signs of dental issues and provide preventive care before they worsen.

Preventive dentistry is essential for preserving your smile's health and beauty. At our practice, we offer a range of preventive treatments, including sealants, cleanings, and exams, designed to help you avoid dental problems and maintain a healthy smile for years to come. By addressing potential issues early on and implementing preventive measures, we can help you enjoy optimal oral health and prevent the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future.

Don't overlook the importance of preventive care for your dental health. Contact us today to schedule your routine cleaning and learn more about how our preventive dentistry services can benefit you and your family. Our dedicated team is here to provide personalized care and support to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

Root Canal Therapy

When a cavity is left untreated, it can progress to reach the pulp chamber of your tooth, where nerve tissues and blood vessels are located. This can lead to significant pain and discomfort, as well as the risk of infection spreading to surrounding tissues. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a solution to save the tooth and alleviate pain.

Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment that can save a severely damaged or infected tooth, allowing you to retain your natural smile and avoid the need for extraction. By addressing the issue promptly with root canal therapy, we can prevent the need for more extensive and invasive treatments, such as tooth extraction and replacement options like dental implants or bridges.

If you're experiencing tooth pain or suspect you may need a root canal, don't hesitate to contact Smile Maker Implant & General Dentistry at (916) 683-5732 today. Our compassionate team is here to provide the care and support you need to restore your oral health and maintain a beautiful smile.
