The beauty and strength of all zirconia crowns... on implants...

If anyone is curious about LANAP... or using lasers to treat gum disease...

Alas, another vertical root fracture, made more visible under different angles of light. This is one of the few problems no dentist can fix, only replace.

Another Vertical Root Fracture... please wear your nightguard

We will continue to comply with recommendations from the California Dental Association (CDA).

Brief news clips from San Diego and Phoenix about how the added stress of COVID-19 is resulting in an increase in fractured teeth. If you have a nightguard, wear it. If you don't have a nightguard, we'd suggest visiting your dentist to get one fabricated for you!

The Art and math side of Dental Arts Dentistry...

If you're hesitating about visiting the dentist, listen up... ;)

If ANYONE NEEDS A NEW WATERPIK... Amazon Prime Day has awesome deals on the Aquarius....

MaskFitters... So we have been using MaskFitters from Bellus3D for months now to help keep both our staff and patients safe. If anyone is interested, this link will show how to go about obtaining one for yourself. Please understand that the effectiveness of these maskfitters MUST BE TESTED in a Fit Test to ensure proper seal. We Fit Tested our staff and passed with flying colors. So in a nutshell, you download the Bellus3D app on an iOS device (minimum iPhoneX), scan your fac...e, pay the license ($2), and then email the .stl file to a local 3D printer. We used Ant3D Printing here in Alhambra, CA which charges roughly $26 to print the file into the final product. We are offering to complete the entire process here for $30 as a convenience, in case anyone is interested. Please call our office at (213) 624-6482 for more details. https://bellus3d.com/solutions/facemask.html

Another victim of parafunctional habits (clenching/grinding).... Please consider using custom nightguards.... they’re not cheap, but CHEAPER than replacing teeth .

As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, we will continue to abide by American Dental Association and California Dental Association recommendations to ensure timely completion of dental treatment.

Medical - Dental correlation is becoming more evident... especially with gum disease...

So my son has just started orthodontic treatment using #FastBraces... only pic I have with him smiling . We’re hoping he finishes ortho in less than 6 months... under the care of Dr. Han Tak Slamat

Animation of Bruxism...

Another Vertical Root Fracture... It's the one thing that no dentist can fix.... If you have a nightguard, wear it; if you don't have a nightguard, strongly consider getting one! This is the consequence of bruxism: https://youtu.be/EiqFnzRSj2A

Just to clarify, we are abiding by CDA and ADA recommendations. The recent closure mandates from today do not affect dental practices, for now

Happy 4th of July!!! From all of us at Dental Arts!
