Many factors, including dietary habits (drinking coffee, tea, soda, and red wine) and certain medications, affect the whiteness of your smile. Tooth whitening is an affordable and effective way to combat common causes of tooth discoloration, while boosting your self-confidence and improving your appearance.

The prescription-strength Tooth Whitening Systems we employ are only available through a dental office. Stronger and more effective than over-the-counter teeth whitening products, provide brighter, whiter smiles in as little as one hour. Whitening treatments can provide beautiful, long-lasting results while preventing cavities and improving the overall health of your enamel.

Several factors may require the need for oral surgery performed by our experienced dentists at Hollywood Perfect Smile. Impacted teeth such as wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes these teeth emerge from the gum line and the jaw is large enough to allow room for them. More often, one or more of these third molars fails to emerge in proper alignment or fails to fully emerge through the gum line and becomes entrapped or “impacted” between the jawbone and the gum tissue.

Impacted wisdom teeth can result in swelling, pain, and infection of the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth. Dental implants are another option for tooth loss due to an accident or infection or as an alternative to bridges and dentures. The implants are implants are tooth root substitutes that are surgically anchored in place in the jawbone and act to stabilize the artificial teeth to which they are attached.

Our smiles are built to last. In fact, tooth enamel — the outer surface of our teeth — is the hardest substance in the human body, even stronger than our bones. That tooth enamel can withstand a lot of wear and tear. But as we live longer, and expose our teeth to stresses like clenching, grinding or chewing on hard objects, we can put our smiles at risk. If you think you have a cracked tooth, it’s important to come see us as soon as possible.

To fix the problem, we have to determine the location and severity of the crack. Therefore, the first step in deciding the best course of action is to take an X-ray. The best scenario is that a simple filling is all that is needed to repair the damaged area. However, if the crack is too deep or large, then a root canal, a crown, or an extraction might be necessary. We will recommend the best course of treatment for repairing the tooth and getting you out of pain the same day.

Did you know that keeping your mouth healthy can help prevent heart disease, control diabetes and promote healthy pregnancies?

It’s true. Without routine dental care, plaque builds up on your teeth and gums and can lead to gum disease, making you more vulnerable to heart disease, clogged arteries and stroke. Gum disease and resulting infections can also cause blood sugar levels to rise, making it more difficult to control your diabetes. Additionally, studies have shown that pregnant women with gum disease may be seven times more likely to deliver prematurely.

These facts say a mouthful, but the bottom line is that good dental care is imperative to overall wellness. There’s simply no question that a healthy smile can lead to a long, healthy life and we are committed to helping you keep a PERFECT SMILE for a lifetime.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. Once your dentist determines that you are a good candidate for dental implants, you will have 1 of 2 types: endosteal (in the bone) or subperiosteal (on the bone). Your periodontist and dentist will consult with you to determine where and how your implant should be placed. Depending on your specific condition and the type of implant chosen, your periodontist will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.

Dental implants are like your own teeth and will require the same care. After treatment, your periodontist will work closely with you and your dentist to develop the best care plan for you. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.
