While each individual veneer covers the visible surface of a single tooth, it is easy enough for your dentist to create multiple veneers and enhance multiple teeth. Dental veneers are thin yet strong and can last for more than a decade with proper care. Because they are stain-resistant, they also look great for many years before needing replacement. Because dental veneers are made of porcelain, they closely resemble the appearance of natural teeth. Furthermore, your unique porcelain veneer can be color-matched to your surrounding teeth for excellent cosmetic results.

By enhancing the appearance of your smile, you can experience a significant boost in your self-confidence. A beautiful smile leaves a lasting impression when meeting someone for the first time. With a new beautiful smile, you can experience widespread benefits to both your personal and professional life. It only takes a single tooth to give an otherwise healthy smile an unattractive appearance. Fortunately, advancements in modern dentistry can provide a range of treatment options to improve the appearance of your smile. We provide metal-free restorations for the most realistic results possible.

Some patients have a metal allergy, which disqualifies them from receiving metal-based restorations and dental work. Zirconia is a durable composite material that will not trigger an allergic response to metals. The material is also bacteria-resistant, which can help promote good oral health. Dr. Daniel Stragier has been a dentist for more than 30 years. His decades of experience and professional dedication have helped countless patients all over San Diego.

With his experience, he can help develop a dental implant treatment plan that meets your oral health needs.

Depending on your daily activities, you may find Invisalign to be safer than traditional braces. The aligners lay flush with your teeth, so there is a lower chance of damaging them the inside of your mouth if you have an active lifestyle. Clear aligner trays are significantly less noticeable than traditional brackets and wires. Due to their inconspicuous nature, aligner trays are a popular option among adults who may feel embarrassed about wearing braces.

We'll ensure you're completely satisfied with the course of your treatment before getting started.

Missing teeth can affect our ability to eat a variety of healthy foods including fiber-rich fruits and vegetables. With dentures, you can eat all of your favorite crunchy snacks and get back to a rich, nutritious diet. In order to speak clearly, we rely on the balance of our jaws and the sounds made when the tongue comes in contact with the teeth. A well-fitting denture can restore your speech patterns and help you enunciate with clarity.

Don't wait for tooth pain to schedule your dental visit. Regular teeth cleanings can prevent the issues that cause dental pain and discomfort. Maintaining these routine appointments can make your visits more enjoyable and cost-effective. Our experienced hygienists and dentist have a gentle touch to help provide the most comfortable teeth-cleaning experience for children and adults.

Root canals have an unearned reputation as a complicated, painful endodontic procedure. In reality, your root canal can be quick and virtually pain-free. During a root canal, a dentist or endodontist creates an opening in your tooth to clear out the diseased pulp. They then sanitize the inner chamber to eliminate any remaining trace of bacteria, fill it with an inert substance, and either place a filling or fit the tooth with a protective dental crown that helps restore appearance and function.

Conventional dentures make it difficult to eat tough foods like steak or apples. They can also affect your speech. However, implant-supported dentures function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and speak with confidence. Traditional dentures are held in place by dental adhesive and suction, so they are bound to slip out of place and cause embarrassing moments. Implant-supported dentures are attached directly to your jaw, so they will always stay put.

Before considering extraction, Dr. Stragier will use his advanced technology to confirm the tooth cannot be saved. He is highly ethical and only recommends treatments that are necessary. Being told that you need a tooth extraction can be a shock. People naturally are concerned about the pain and often have grief over losing a tooth. Dr. Stragier at Balboa Dental Care in San Diego understands the emotions you are experiencing.

Our San Diego dentistry practice uses the latest technology during every step of treatment. From regular cleanings and exams to implant placement, our dentist uses the latest technology to ensure patients receive the best possible care. With the help of state-of-the-art technology, our comprehensive dentistry practice can provide patients with restored oral health and beautiful smiles. Dr. Stragier offers a range of general, restorative, and cosmetic care using the latest technological advances in the field of modern dentistry.

The health and appearance of your teeth have a direct relationship with your overall well-being. Poor oral health has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke. Dr. Stragier can address problem areas in your mouth and in the process, help you lead a longer, healthier life. Losing a tooth due to decay, infection, or gum disease affects more than just the appearance of your smile. Without tooth roots, the bone tissue in your jaw begins to deteriorate. A full mouth reconstruction can restore missing teeth with dental implants, and protect the strength of your jaw.

Like dental bridges, dentures replace lost teeth. The solution Dr. Stragier recommends for you will depend on how many teeth are missing. While a dental bridge is used to replace a single tooth or several consecutive missing teeth, dentures are used to replace a complete dental arch. Traditional dental bridges are held in place with dental crowns, while traditional dentures simply rest on the gums, held in place with a mild adhesive. Both solutions can be supported by dental implants if you choose.
