- Dental ExaminationAfter a thorough oral examination with our Dental Hygienist and Dr. Sunwoo, you will be informed on whether you need periodontal therapy and the necessary modality of treatment. On the severity of your condition, you might also require a consultation from a Periodontist.
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningPlease alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e. antibiotics, for pre-med.)
- Fluoride TreatmentThe entire procedure takes just over one hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure (we recommend a cleaning prior to the actual Whitening session).
- Dental Sealants
- Space Maintainers
- FillingsCEREC is an advanced dental restorative system that allows your dentist to restore decayed teeth, place crowns, remove defective amalgam fillings, or place cosmetic veneers in just one appointment. This allows you to have the highest quality, most life like dental restorations in just one visit to the dentist...in, out, and on with your busy life.
- Resin CompositeInlays and onlays can be made of porcelain, gold, or composite resin. These pieces are bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. An inlay, which is similar to a filling, is used inside the cusp tips of the tooth. An onlay is a more substantial reconstruction, similar to the inlay but extending out over one or more of the cusps of the tooth.
- VeneersBonding is an alternative to veneers, and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or misarranged.
- CrownsMost dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.
- BridgesA bridge a device used to replace missing teeth attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges), or they can be removable.
- Dental Bonding
- Restorative DentistryDr. Sunwoo graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA, then went on to complete his Post Doctoral Residency at the UCLA Dental School and Medical Center, in Los Angeles CA, one of the most prestigious General Practice Residency programs in the country. He is a past Affiliate Faculty Member at the University of Washington Dental School, Dept. of Restorative Dentistry.
- Pulpotomy
- Root Canal TreatmentIf you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesA denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.
- Overdentures
- Dental ImplantsOur office has acquired a CBCT machine that allows a CT scan imagery of your jaw and teeth. A 3 dimensional image can be attained and diagnosis that was not possible before can be accomplished. Dr. Sunwoo also uses this CT 3D image to design Surgical Guides that allow him to place Dental Implants in a precise and perfectly accurate manner.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsYou and Dr. Sunwoo may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsWhat is important to remember is that properly aligned teeth are not only pleasant esthetically but also facilitate cleaning and improve oral hygiene.
