Your Smile Deserves a Specialist!
Dental Services You Need. Quality Care You Deserve.
At San Diego’s Center for Dental Restorations, your smile is our top priority.
Below are the services we offer, and more! If you are having any dental problems, call our office for an evaluation.
Bite Adjustment
A mis-alignment of your bite (or malocclusion) may cause long-term dental problems such as the following:
- Jaw pain and/or neck muscle pain
- Bruxism (or grinding of teeth)
- Chronic headaches
- Worn or broken teeth not caused by trauma
- Teeth sensitivity
- Popping of your jaw (often associated with TMJ/TMD)
If you suffer from any of these, call our office and make an appointment for an evaluation for a possible bite adjustment to bring your bite back into proper alignment.
We have helped many patients get back to enjoying life pain-free and with a big smile. Call us today and we would be happy to answer all your questions about your dental needs.
Complete & Partial Dentures
We offer complete or partial dentures crafted only for your specific needs, because we believe there is no such thing as one-size fits all when it comes to dentures.
As the only female board-certified prosthodontist in San Diego, Dr. MacPherson is trained in the branch of dentistry concerned with the replacement of missing teeth.
We have helped many patients get back to enjoying life with a big smile. Call us today and we would be happy to answer all your questions about your dental needs.
Crowns & Bridges
Durable, high-quality porcelain crowns and dental bridges can restore strength and structure to your teeth for a more beautiful smile.
Crowns and bridges are cemented in place onto existing teeth or implants. They can only be removed by a dentist. They are fixed prosthetics, as opposed to dentures, which you can take out and clean daily.
We make our crowns and bridges with trusted quality local labs that work directly with Dr. MacPherson's instructions. Dr. MacPherson always stands behind her work and provides a 1 year warranty for any crown and/or bridge work.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically secured to the jawbone. This allows your dentist to attach fixed or replacement teeth.
Dental implants are popular and a very effective long-term solution to missing or failing teeth or to chronic dental problems. They fit you and feel like natural teeth.
Nowadays, dental implants are becoming the standard for teeth replacement.
But you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to receive implants.
Call our office to make an appointment for a consult to find out if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
Full Mouth Restoration
A full mouth restoration refers to the rebuilding and/or replacing all of the teeth in you mouth using advanced techniques in dentistry.
This procedure may be necessary due to the following:
- Severely worn out teeth due to long-term acid erosion from foods/beverages/reflux or tooth grinding
- Lost or fractured teeth due to decay or trauma or injury
- Chronic jaw, neck, head pain due to malocclusion or misaligned bite
Sometimes called full mouth reconstruction
or full mouth rehabilitation
, it is a process that helps you get back to life with a smile, no matter what your teeth look like today. You will be a changed person and you will be proud of your smile.
Our office has helped many patients get back to enjoying life with a big smile. Call us today and we would be happy to answer all your questions about a full mouth restoration.
Inlays/Onlays
Inlays and onlays are methods that restore the structure of teeth that have cavities due to decay or trauma.
Inlays vs. Fillings:
With dental fillings, the decayed tooth is drilled out and replaced with a composite or amalgam material.
Inlays, on the other hand, are used when the cavity is too large for a simple filling. The inlay material is also fabricated as a single solid piece to fit the specific shape and size of the cavity, which is then cemented in place.
Onlays vs. Crowns:
Onlays are fabricated as a single solid piece and cemented in place on the damaged tooth. It typically covers a cusp of the tooth.
Onlays are different from crowns as crowns are intended for more serious situations in which a cap is placed over an entire tooth after removing the decay.
Our office has helped many patients get back to enjoying life with a big smile. Call us today and we would be happy to answer all your questions about your dental needs.
Porcelain Veneers
A porcelain veneer is a thin layer of material that covers a tooth to protect its surface or to improve its appearance.
It is very thin and custom-made to fit precisely on your tooth.
Veneers are easy and great restorative solutions to teeth problems. They can do the following:
- Whiten discolored teeth
- Fix minor cosmetic issues
- Replace damaged tooth enamel
Because porcelain veneers are meant as a long term solution, call us and we can tell you if veneers are a fitting solution for your dental needs.
Oral Sedation
We know that having dental treatments can cause a great deal of anxiety. Our office administers oral sedation to help our patients calm down during dental procedures.
Oral sedation, sometimes called pill sedation, involves having the patient swallow medication that causes minimal sedation. It can make you feel drowsy and forget what happened during the procedure.
Although there is always a risk in sedation procedures, oral sedation is generally safe when given by experienced dentists.
Dr. MacPherson is a well trained and very much experienced in oral sedation. We have helped hundreds of patients control their anxiety and get through dental procedures with no problems. Call our office and we will be happy to answer your questions about your anxiety and how oral sedation can help.
Dental Cleaning / Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
Plaque on the teeth is the first step towards periodontal disease. If plaque is allowed to build up it will harden and turn into tartar. Tartar can only be removed with a professional cleaning at the dentist’s office. Both plaque and tartar make the gums vulnerable to infection.
If an infection enters the gums causing redness, swelling and bleeding, it is referred to as gingivitis which is the first stage of periodontitis.
Periodontitis or periodontal disease involves inflammation and destruction of the tissue supporting and surrounding the teeth, including the gums and supporting bone, with the loss of soft and bony support, deep periodontal pockets may form that foster bacterial growth.
To prevent periodontal disease, regular professional teeth cleaning is recommended.
