| Clean, Healthy and Fresh!  Prophylaxis Treatments (Routine Cleanings) and Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning). Teeth will accumulate plaque, tartar buildup and stain even with a patient's good oral hygiene practices. If bacterial deposits are not professionally removed on a regular basis gingivitis and/or periodontal disease will develop and progress. At the extreme, left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. Signs that this might be occurring are bleeding and swollen gums, and bad breath. To reverse and/or manage this disease process from additional destruction of supporting structures, a professional routine tooth cleaning and/or a scaling and root planning is required. In some patients with advanced disease, tooth removal or periodontal (gum) surgery may also be necessary. These cleaning and scaling procedures will remove the damaging bacterial deposits, and leave a clean tooth and root surface that the patient can better maintain with proper brushing, flossing and rinsing. Removal of these deposits can be accomplished individually, or in concert, by hand instruments, ultrasonic scalers and tooth polishing procedures. Dr. Shih will evaluate the current health of your gums and discuss with you the treatment that will be necessary to promote the health of your gums and underlying bone support. Done with sedation and relax state.  Bridging Gaps! Replacing Missing Teeth cost. It is vital to oral health to replace missing teeth. If a lost tooth is not replaced, chewing is compromised, and any remaining teeth are placed under a heavier load than they were intended to bear, putting them at risk of shifting and/or breaking themselves. Today, there are numerous options for tooth replacement. The only option that replaces both the missing tooth crown and tooth root; giving the greatest chewing strength; is an implant. While implant require both a surgical phase, and a restorative phase, and do take some time to complete, the outcome is the closest dentistry has available to replacing the entire tooth that was lost.

These latter options are more quickly accomplished, and still offer a patient excellent function and esthetics. Dr. Shih will discuss all the available treatment options for your individual oral condition so you can decide what is the best treatment option for you.

Removal of Caries and decayed Tooth Restoration. Any number of things can lead to tooth decay – too many sweets, poor brushing, an old filling that chips or cracks and allows bacterial invasion into the tooth, and exposed inner tooth structures to acidic substances are just some of the possibilities. Once tooth decay is removed, a certain amount of tooth structure needs to be rebuilt so as to recreate the original tooth shape for proper chewing, and to cover up sensitive tooth structure. This is achieved through a variety of methods and materials. For the patients that desire, or require, a restoration that gives the illusion that nothing was done, the tooth may be rebuilt and restored with composite filling material, porcelain inlays, porcelain onlays, porcelain crowns, zirconium crowns or porcelain veneers. This procedure that totally eliminates the mecrury concern from inside out, is also referring as Preventive or cosmetic, Holistic dentistry. Some procedures may take just one office appointment, while others may take more than one visit. For patients that desire restorations of proven longevity, Dr. Shih can restore their teeth with cast gold restoration, gold crowns and porcelain fused to gold alloy crowns. While these restorative materials are not as cosmetic in appearance, they deliver strength that, in some instances, cannot be matched by any other treatment modality. Trestimonial: "I was skeptical when I was told that my daughter's Orthodontic braces treatment is going to just take less than a year and with less pain. Mine took 3 years. After some research, I decided to give it a try. Wow! It only took 9 months to finish her fast Orthodontist treatment and with fantastic result. Now I believe that Dr. Shih's technique does meet his promise with less time and less pain. My daughter is no longer hiding her smile, and, she is really happy that most of her friends are still wearing braces and she is not!..." ---Joyce. C.
