Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is the leading reason for adult tooth loss in our nation. It has also been linked to systemic health conditions, including (but not limited to) heart attacks, respiratory conditions, low-weight births, diabetes complications, cognitive disorders, and other serious health problems. Early signs of gingivitis (the first stage of gum disease) may include redness, swelling, tenderness, or pus at the base of teeth.

Some patients do not notice any symptoms, and are completely unaware that their gums are infected. Treating gum disease early is an important strategy to reduce your risk for these concerns.

We use comfortable, efficient laser dentistry techniques to treat gum disease!

Oral Cancer Screening

We are dedicated to your health, which is why our facility uses state-of-the-art technology to catch signs of oral cancer. We use VELScope®, or the Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System to detect abnormalities in the mouth that are often invisible to the naked eye. If you would like an oral cancer screening, please book an appointment with us to talk to the dentist. 

Cavity Detection and Fillings

Simply examining the mouth and teeth is not enough to detect and eventually fill cavities. At Dental Arts of Mountain View, we use DIAGNOdent™ for cavity detection, the Solea Laser to remove cavity decay, and, if a shot is needed, The Wand for painless, single-tooth anesthesia delivery.
