Restorative
Tooth-colored resins (fillings)
We use the most up-to-date advances in restorative materials. Tooth-colored porcelains are long-lasting and keep their color well over time. Our patients enjoy their long-wearing, natural-looking restorations for many years.
Crowns, inlays, onlays
Dr. Margiotta does many kinds of crowns; the appropriate crown depends on both the patient's preference and the individual tooth involved.
For most teeth, we bond a natural-looking ceramic-resin material to the tooth. In many cases, we can preserve much of the tooth structure, removing only a portion of it. When the tooth being treated is one that receives maximal biting and chewing stresses, we use stronger materials.
Endodontics
Dr. Margiotta has specialty training in endodontics and regularly performs root canal therapy.
Prosthetics
Prosthetics
include dental implants, full and partial dentures, fixed bridges and combinations of the above. Dr. Margiotta has replaced many, many teeth in many combinations. He is knowledgeable in the design, compatibility, esthetics and maintenance of all modern dental prosthetics.
Cosmetic / Reconstructive
Thinking about a "smile make-over"? Reconstructive dentistry creatively combines cosmetics with biomechanical function. With this blend of science and artistry, we've put many a dazzling smile on a satisfied patient!
Whether your teeth are worn, not quite white, out of alignment, broken or just needing a makeover, Dr. Margiotta's team of dental professionals and labs are ready with a variety of techniques to create the smile of your dreams.
The result? A new smile that not only looks good, but functions well and lasts long!
Porcelain Veneers
Several different kinds of cosmetic veneers are available. We'll recommend the type that's right for you. Usually made from porcelain ceramic, veneers are custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory to fit each specific patient. Veneers are also a great way to replace decayed areas or old fillings.
Teeth Whitening
Dental Artistry of Walnut Creek offers both in‐office (such as BriteSmile) and take‐home whitening
methods, depending on your needs and lifestyle.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth by using clear plastic aligners. Invisalign is ideal for misalignments in front teeth, misalignments that happened after past orthodontia, and other situations. Our Invisalign patients can chew and floss unimpeded, and smile without anyone knowing they are getting their teeth straightened!
It is easy to understand Invisalign's popularity with patients, dentists and orthodontists. Ask us if it's right for you. For more information, look at www.invisalign.com.
Maintenance and Dental Hygiene
Your lips, gum, and oral tissues are incredibly sensitive-more so than almost any other part of your body. Our hygienist knows this, and knows how to use a variety of techniques to keep you comfortable during your cleaning appointment. That's why, when you come in for cleaning, it's your choice if the hygienist uses either newer technologies such as the ultrasonic cleaner or conventional cleaning methods.
Your comfort during cleaning helps maintain your teeth-and helps maintain your trust in all of us at Dental Artistry of Walnut Creek. We want every visit to be a pleasant experience. Please give us your feedback so we can continue improving our level of care.
