Dental Examination
Visiting our office every six months gives you the chance to talk to the doctor about any questions you may have about your child's oral health. Regular exams are offered by appointment only, so please contact our practice today to schedule your child's next dental exam and teeth cleaning.

Teeth Cleaning
After the checkup and teeth cleaning are complete, Dr.Vega will meet with you and your child to discuss X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions that you may have.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is effective in preventing cavities and tooth decay and in preventing plaque from building up and hardening on the tooth’s surface. A fluoride treatment in a dentist’s office takes just a few minutes. We now use the new and improved fluoride "Varnish".
Dental Sealants
Sometimes brushing is not enough, especially when it comes to those hard-to-reach spots in your child's mouth. It is difficult for a toothbrush to get in between the small cracks and grooves on your child's teeth. If left alone, those tiny areas can develop tooth decay. Sealants give your child's teeth extra protection against decay and help prevent cavities.
Space Maintainers
Sometimes a primary tooth is lost before the permanent tooth beneath it is ready to erupt. The most common causes for this are cavities and injuries. If your child loses a tooth prematurely we may recommend a space maintainer. A space maintainer is an appliance that holds open the space left by the lost tooth. The space maintainer helps prevent the nearby teeth from shifting into the vacant space. If this happens, when the permanent tooth is ready to erupt it may not have enough room or may erupt in the wrong position. Once the spacer is in place, the eruption of the permanet tooth is monitored and when the time is right, the spacer is removed.

Fillings
Resin Composite
. Newer dental fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. These compounds are often referred to as composite resins. Some insurance companies want to pay better on amalgam (silver) fillings, but we do not use amalgam in our office. The insurance companies will pay for the tooth colored fillings, but sometimes you owe a little more than the 20%
Veneers
Bonding is less expensive than other cosmetic treatments and can usually be completed in one visit to our office. However, bonding can stain and is easier to break than other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers. If it does break or chip, tell your doctor. The bonding can generally be easily patched or repaired in one visit.
Crowns
Sometimes there is decay on a "Baby" tooth that has been there for a long time and it can destroy a significant amount of the tooth structure. When this happens a filling is not the best choice to restore the tooth. For these cases we have preformed stainless steel crowns specially designed by 3M for "baby" teeth. We also have All-ceramic crowns for the molars as well, by EZ PEDO
Dental Bonding
Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your child's tooth to improve its appearance. The filling “bonds” with the tooth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your child's natural teeth.

Braces
Whether your child wears braces or not, protecting his or her smile while playing sports is essential. Mouthguards help protect the teeth and gums from injury. If your child participates in any kind of full-contact sport, the American Dental Association recommends that he or she wear a mouthguard. Choosing the right mouthguard is essential. There are three basic types of mouthguards: the pre-made mouthguard, the “boil-and-bite” fitted mouthguard, and a custom-made mouthguard from the dentist. When you choose a mouthguard, be sure to pick one that is tear-resistant, comfortable and well-fitted for your mouth, easy to keep clean, and does not prevent your child from breathing properly. Your dentist can show your child how to wear a mouthguard properly and how to choose the right mouthguard to protect his or her smile.

General Dentistry
As technology advances, so does my aspiration for keeping up with the best treatments and products. I am constantly involved in continuing education in order to stay up-to-date with all that is new in pediatric and general dentistry.
