Teeth Cleaning
Prophylaxis is a procedure where a dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar from the teeth. This will make the gums and teeth healthier by removing these bacterial buildups that can lead to gum and bone infection. It is not uncommon for patients to note that teeth feel slightly more sensitive after a dental cleaning. The reason for this is that plaque and tartar coat the tooth surface and shield them from substances in the mouth. Once they are removed a brief sensitivity may occur, but soon leaves. It is important for a person to brush and floss after every meal to prevent build-up of plaque and tartar.

Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin resin coatings which are applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to seal out debris and help prevent decay. Sealant resin is applied to these pits and grooves then cured with a special light so that it becomes a hard, protective coating. Most tooth decay in children and adolescents occur on the chewing surfaces of these back teeth or molars. This is because molars have irregular surfaces with pits and grooves which tend to trap food and bacterial debris.

Fillings
Moderate; higher than amalgam fillings, actual cost of fillings depends upon their size; veneers & crowns cost more.
Resin Composite
Bonding is a procedure whereby Dr. McComb uses special dental composite resin and adhesives to cosmetically restore teeth. Bonding uses include restoring chips, filling holes, spaces or discoloration. The tooth is first cleansed and prepared for bonding. The perfect shading combinations are then selected and the composite is placed and detailed to improve shape, color and position or to restore cavities after decay removal.
Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are laboratory fabricated for strength and cosmetics, specific to each patient’s desired cosmetic outcome.They are bonded onto the tooth using strong, translucent resin cement.Veneers are stronger and more durable than composites.They are highly aesthetic and life-like.Veneers are designed to correct size, shape and color discrepancies.They can also close undesired spaces and correct alignment of crowded teeth.
Crowns
Porcelain onlays are highly aesthetic, porcelain restorations that are bonded on the prepared tooth to restore the beauty, strength and function of the tooth. Onlays are recommended when the size of a cavity is too large for a traditional filling to adequately restore the tooth, but not large enough to warrant covering the whole tooth with a crown. The procedure is similar to that of a crown, but is more conservative.

Root Canal Treatment
A crown is designed to cover a tooth to strengthen and protect the remaining healthy tooth structure that has been damaged by excessive fracturing, heavy decay, or failure of a previous restoration due to damage or disease. Root canal treated teeth should also be crowned if sufficient tooth structure is missing or if it is determined that a tooth will last longer by protecting it with a crown. There are several different materials from which a crown can be made. Our office commonly uses porcelain crowns due to their high strength and aesthetics. Our crowns are custom fabricated by artists in a dental laboratory, specific to each patient’s prescription.

Deep Cleaning
Periodontal therapy (including scaling, root-planing or deep-cleaning) is a procedure involving the removal of harmful bacterial cement (called calculus or tartar) from below the gum line. This results in a dramatic reduction in disease and inflammation. With proper and consistent follow-up care and home care, the gums can be restored to a healthy state. Root-planing is usually performed with local anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure. Many times it can be performed in two to four visits depending upon the amount of deposit or inflammation present.

Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances that are custom fabricated for the patient and designed to replace missing teeth. The materials used are made of acrylic resins alone or in conjunction with various metals. A partial denture can be used to replace some teeth in cases where the patient has some healthy remaining permanent teeth to serve as anchors. A complete or full denture replaces all teeth. An immediate denture, whether complete or partial, involves placing the appliance the same day the unrestorable, diseased teeth are removed.

Dental Implants
Taking care of your smile is one of the most important things you can do for your appearance – and your health. But let’s face it – for some people, going to the dentist can be nerve-wracking. That’s why the entire Chico Dental Care team is focused on making sure your visits are relaxed and comfortable. We’ll explain your treatment options in detail, in terms you can understand – whether you’re in for a routine cleaning, restoration, implant, or even a cosmetic procedure.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a safe, effective way to lighten the color of your teeth. Dr. McComb’s staff will take an impression of your teeth to fabricate custom fit bleaching trays that have wells to hold the prescription bleach gel. Patients wear these trays daily from 30 minutes to 8 hours (overnight), depending on the product strength selected. Average bleaching treatment duration is three weeks; more time may be needed, however, for severely stained or discolored teeth. Dentist-supervised treatments remain the most effective and safe procedure for lightening discolored teeth. We use professional, prescription-strength bleach that is pH balanced and fluoride-fortified.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. McComb graduated from University of California, Davis, with a B.S. in Biology in 2001. He then worked for the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, for a year before entering dental school at University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry (UOP). He graduated from UOP with Honors in 2004. Dr. McComb began his dental career in Elk Grove, California, where he worked as an associate for five years. He and his family then moved to Chico in 2009 to practice general dentistry at Chico Dental Care. He is a member of the American Dental Association (ADA) and the California Dental Association (CDA). Dr. McComb attends the continuum of advanced coursework seminars in general and cosmetic dentistry at the Spear Institute of Dentistry in Scottsdale, Arizona. In his spare time, he likes to golf and enjoy the outdoors with his family. Dr. McComb is married to Julie, and they have three children, Luke, Audrey and Noelle.
