“Supra-gingival dentistry” might sound complicated, but it’s fairly simple at its core, it means above-the-gum minimally invasive dentistry. Traditional dentistry often involves removing healthy enamel to make room for dental restorations that are placed partially below the gum line, which can lead to collateral damage and chronic inflammation. With Dr. Ruiz and his nearby team, however, all work is completed with minimally invasive techniques above the gum line. This means less pain and soreness for the dental patient. Plus, the results are more lifelike, meaning someone can enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to their health and appearance.

Plenty of dental practices are able to offer smile-enhancing services such as veneers or teeth whitening.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to sort through all the results that come up when you perform an online search for a nearby dentist.

Once you’ve found a dentist that seems to fit your needs, take the time to learn more about their credentials and their overall approach to care.

The best person to call during a dental emergency is typically your dentist since, compared to the ER, they are often in a better position to treat toothaches and other oral health issues.

We will often be able to see you on the same day as you call; once you get to our office, we will examine your mouth, identify the source of the problem, and explain what treatments are available for restoring your oral health.
Keep in mind that you should call 911 if your life is in danger due to a broken jaw, swelling that interferes with swallowing or breathing, oral bleeding that can’t be halted, or any other reason.
