Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Gum disease has two primary stages. If diagnosed and treated in the first stage, the condition can be reversed and tooth loss can usually be prevented. In order to prevent gum disease,practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist for cleanings and check-ups twice a year.
This stage only affects the soft tissue of the gums, and the patient may not experience any discomfort. Although the symptoms may be very mild, it is important to diagnose gum disease in this early stage before it progresses to periodontitis.
Periodontitis is the name for more advanced periodontal disease and if permitted to progress to this point, not only the gums are affected but the bone structures supporting the teeth will be compromised.
A build-up of bacteria causes Gingivitis. In its early stages, inflammation around the gums is observable, with gum tissues appearing red and swollen. Gums that are easily irritated or that bleed during tooth brushing indicate the presence of Gingivitis. Removal of the plaque buildup is necessary to prevent the development of gum disease.
As the gums become more inflamed, they start to pull away from the teeth, forming spaces known as periodontal pockets. Food, bacteria, and plaque begin to collect in the pockets, leading to infection. The surrounding bone becomes damaged both by bacterial toxins and by the immune systemsresponse to infection.
Maintaining oral health includes good home care and regular visits to our office for preventive care, which includes oral examinations and cleanings. Even with excellent care, however, teeth and gums can be susceptible to disease, infection, cavities, cracks, or other forms of damage.
Comprehensive examinations of the mouth, teeth, surrounding gum tissues, and supporting bone structures help with early detection and treatment of problematic conditions.Restorative dentistry is the aspect of dentistry that helps maintain oral and overall health even when the health of one or more teeth or the surrounding areas is compromised.
Restorative dentistry helps preserve natural teeth. The goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the function and integrity of the tooth structure, function, and health, while maintaining a natural appearance.
Our office also specializes in cosmetic dentistry. This means that we not only pay attention to the health and function of your teeth, but we also pay close attention to aesthetics. We want you to maintain great oral health but we also want you to have a beautiful smile and the confidence to smile often!

After calling mutiple dentists for two days in horrible pain from a dental emergency this was the only place I found that truly cared. I called in at 7am today and the receptionist was so kind and concerned. She got me a few hours later and I wasnt even a patient! After moving from out of state I was happy to find a place nearby that had amazing care. Dr Soto was the best. He really listened to my concerns and even spent extra time explaining some of my medication concerns. I really felt like they wanted what was best for me. He performed on the spot surgery for me solving my pain and agony. They even considered my lack of dental insurance and made everything as cost effective as possible for me. I left with a gift bag and feeling so much better. I am really thankful I found this place. I won't go anywhere else.

The hygienist Stacey was amazing, she did a good job with my cleaning - probably the best cleaning I've had. There was a cute sign when I walked in saying welcome Victoria in cursive - I also got a gift for visiting. The doctor was knowledgeable and very kind. Alicia stopped in to introduce herself. Overall everyone was smiling, kind and welcoming. I'm transferring my whole family to this office.
