With coffee, wine, smoking and aging staining our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like. Before starting the whitening process, your dentist will clean your teeth and treat any existing dental problems like decay or gum disease. To accomplish the whitening of your teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is completed in 2 steps. The first step is to make an impression of your teeth. With this impression, we'll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use over and over. Finally, you will take the whitening gel and put it in the gel for a short period of time over a period of a few days. This often results in a whiter smile of 4 - 8 shades! https://www.smilesofsterling.com/checkup daily 0.75 2020-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/1603310849200-OHDBOI94ULKM1G6N2472/image-asset.jpeg Checkup - Checkup/Cleaning The American Dental Association recommends that you visit the dentist every 6 months for a routine dental check-up. At Smiles of Sterling, your first dental visit will include a thorough comprehensive exam, x-rays and a professional cleaning to improve your dental health, to prevent dental disease and to enhance the appearance of your smile. How can we help? By using the latest in dental technology, we can ensure your professional cleaning will be efficient and pain-free. After reviewing your medical history, x-rays, and dental records, we will do a through exam of your mouth to find out any cavities, inflammation, or infection in your teeth and gums. We will also screen for oral cancer, gum disease and other oral health issues. https://www.smilesofsterling.com/rootcanaltreatment daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/1603310937053-NSPKXM57UYUHJXC17DUT/root%2Bcanal.jpg Root Canal Treatment - Root Canal Treatment Endodontic diagnosis and treatment occur in two basic scenarios. In the first scenario, the emergency patient presents with pain and possibly swelling or with displaced, fractured, or avulsed teeth, such that urgent treatment is needed to relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection. The second scenario is part of the restorative treatment plan when pulpal or periapical disease is detected but without symptoms. The procedure involves removing the source of infection, cleaning the canals with files, and filling the canals with bacteriostatic material (gutta percha). After treatment, the dentist does a core buildup, which involves placing prefabricated pins or amalgam into the filled canals and builds up on pins with resin or amalgam. https://www.smilesofsterling.com/crowns daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/1603311068293-KXVH7B4Z9OMAMEM6AZ9N/download+%281%29.jpg Crowns https://www.smilesofsterling.com/dentures daily 0.75 2020-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/1603311194568-H9HUS0FGSL960IKH7OPJ/download+%282%29.jpg Dentures https://www.smilesofsterling.com/extractions daily 0.75 2020-12-09 https://www.smilesofsterling.com/invisalign daily 0.75 2020-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/1603311222027-QAC7X0BZVK30K01CB2K5/image-asset.jpeg Invisalign https://www.smilesofsterling.com/implants daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/1603311253479-XZ2J6ZF4ZDIYFQGWLMVQ/download+%284%29.jpg Implants - Implants A dental implant mimics the form and function of a natural tooth, which consists of a root and a crown. The crown is the visible part of your tooth. It is used to chew food and is therefore the most susceptible to cavities. The crown is attached to the jawbone by way of the root. When decay has gone deep enough or when a periodontal disease has advanced enough to warrant an extraction, the entire tooth, root and all, is taken out. The dental implant is a titanium root that gets fitted into a socket that we create in your jaw. Once the root heals, we place an artificial crown on top. The new crown is customized to match your bite and the color of your teeth. What are the benefits of getting teeth implants? They look and act like natural teeth They can last a lifetime with the right care You don’t need any adhesives They improve appearance, comfort, and speech It’s easier to eat https://www.smilesofsterling.com/team daily 0.75 2023-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/4854c363-8f61-4844-a4da-0e844eca7df8/Headshot.jpg TEAM - Dr. Brian Vu Besides dentistry, Dr. Vu has a passion for animation.

The most prone areas are the pits , grooves and fissures on the back molar teeth which are known to trap acidic, sugary food and debris. This trapped food causes decay and cavities. Fortunately, you can protect these areas of your mouth from decay and damage with dental sealants. Dental sealants are plastic coating material that’s administered to the pits, grooves, and fissures of the molars to protect them from decay. The treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and strongly recommended for all patients, especially for children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f905672664640558500dc09/1603310849200-OHDBOI94ULKM1G6N2472/image-asset.jpeg Fluoride Treatment/Sealants - Fluoride Treatment Fluoride rebuilds the enamel on your teeth, it strengthens your teeth’s defense against decay.
