Dental services for Isla Vista residents
General dentistry includes examinations, cleanings and preventive care. If you are returning after a gap in dental visits, let the team know when scheduling so we can help you prepare.
Restorative dentistry addresses damaged or missing teeth. Your dentist can explain which options fit your findings, how treatment may be sequenced and what follow-up involves.
For changes to your smile, explore cosmetic dentistry or ask about Invisalign. An evaluation helps determine whether a particular treatment is appropriate.
