Dental Examination
Children’s dentistry is just as important as adults seeing a dentist regularly. Teeth demand care and skill, and your kids deserve to see a dentist for them to maintain their bright smiles. Good dental hygiene isn't important just for adult. Even though baby teeth will eventually fall out, it is important to teach good dental hygiene habits to children so that it becomes a habit with them as they get older. Regular dental exams are an important part of maintaining oral health for both adults and children. We are a team of experienced pediatric dentists in La Jolla, NV, and will help keep your child’s teeth in perfect condition.

Dental Examination

Good dental hygiene isn't important just for adult. Even though baby teeth will eventually fall out, it is important to teach good dental hygiene habits to children so that it becomes a habit with them as they get older. Regular dental exams are an important part of maintaining oral health for both adults and children. We are a team of experienced pediatric dentists in La Jolla, NV, and will help keep your child’s teeth in perfect condition.
X-rays
During a child’s dental exam, we will gently clean the child's teeth and evaluate any problems such as tooth decay. For older children, the exam may also include dental X-rays, which are sent to a computer and viewed on a screen.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
We may put a topical fluoride treatment gel on your child's teeth and check for any sores or bumps inside the mouth.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants act as a barrier, protecting the teeth against decay-causing bacteria. The sealants are applied by our 92037 dentist to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (premolars and molars) where decay occurs most often.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Composite-Resin - This type of material is our best recommendation as it is both highly durable as the material can actually bond to your tooth, while matching the same shade of your tooth color. They do not resist staining as well as porcelain.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are applied to the front of the teeth to cover up discoloration and other imperfections.
Crowns
Crowns or “caps” replace parts of decayed teeth above the gum line. They fit over what is left of a tooth and act as its new outer surface. Dental Crowns La Jolla are made in a variety of materials including porcelain, metal with a thin ceramic layer, and even gold, which is used more commonly for teeth in the back of the mouth. Crowns act as healthy teeth, but they may come loose over time. If this happens, they may need to be re-cemented or replaced.
Bridges
If you have a gap between teeth caused by one or more missing teeth, dental bridges may be a good solution for repairing the gap. Dental bridges provide several benefits...
Dental Bonding
At our La Jolla dentistry, we offer dental bonding La Jolla as a way to restore your smile. Dental bonding can be used as a cosmetic or restorative procedure. It is the perfect choice for those who have only minor defects.
Restorative Dentistry

Root Canal Treatment
A Dental Filling La Jolla is the perfect solution to a cavity, or any amount of tooth decay, that has not reached the dental pulp where nerves are stored. If this occurs, then a root canal is often needed.

Periodontal Surgery
Dr. Ripa has more than 10 years of experience as a dentist. He has taken courses in Periodontal surgery from USC, orthodontic program at progressive orthodontics seminars, courses in esthetics, veneer prepping, smile design, digital dentistry, same day crowns, full mouth rehab, endodontics
Deep Cleaning

Dentures
We offer an exceptional dentures La Jolla service for anyone in and around the La Jolla area. Our service starts with an initial consultation where we assess your mouth and see which treatment plan works best for you. Then, we get started with the practical part; making and fitting your dentures for you. Understandably, this is a service that many people are quite confused about as it can be a little bit complex. As a result, allow us to explain things to you in more detail.

Dental Implants
There are times that a tooth is damaged beyond preservation and needs to be extracted. When this occurs, your dentist will often recommend dental implant placement after the extraction in order to maintain the natural look and functionality of your smile. Dental implant placement has become one of the most trusted dental procedures for restoring …

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
To begin the implant process, a patient must receive an individualized treatment plan, which addresses their specific needs, and is prepared by a team of specially trained and experienced oral surgery and restorative dentistry professionals. A tooth root implant is then placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth. The jawbone will heal and grow around the post, securing it into the jaw. After the implant has been fused with the jawbone, a connector post is attached to hold the custom-made replacement tooth, which will match the patient’s natural teeth in color and shape. Patients may instead have attachments placed on the implant to hold removable dentures. Most patients state that the procedure involves less discomfort than a tooth extraction. Dental implants 92037 can be cared for using the same type of care that natural teeth require.
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
While orthodontic treatments are most commonly used for young people, adults make up nearly a third of all orthodontic patients. Even though orthodontics can be used to treat people of any age, it is generally recommended to begin treatment early.
Invisalign Orthodontics
- Hassle Free: Brackets and wires can be very bothersome to deal with and have the potential to be damaged, requiring an appointment with your orthodontist to correct. Invisalign La Jolla clear aligners are hassle free.
Braces
- Virtually Invisible: Invisalign La Jolla aligners don't contain noticeable materials like braces; they're clear and blend in perfectly with your teeth when worn without ever feeling embarrassed to smile.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening La Jolla is a process that can be accomplished through several different systems, including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, trays, and whitening agents given by a dentist.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A beautiful smile projects natural beauty, self-confidence, and high personal esteem. However, most people are not born with naturally perfect teeth. The good news is that cosmetic dentistry is no longer just a luxury for Hollywood celebrities and the wealthy.
General Dentistry
Our experienced dentists and dental hygienists provide expert general dentistry for patients of all ages. We can treat your entire family with our personalized, high-tech equipment and years of experience.
