Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings

We recommend exams and teeth cleanings every six months because it's easier to stop problems from developing than treating them after they do. During your cleaning, our hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup and checks for signs of gum disease. With a routine exam, our dentist will ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and that all your dental work is intact.

Personalized Care

Convenience

Peace of Mind

You'll have a provider you can trust, especially if an emergency arises when you choose a general dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions

The first step during a tooth emergency is to contact your trusted Elk Grove emergency dentist at (916) 478-7200 for guidance. Even if you're unsure that your situation is a true emergency, our team can assess your condition over the phone and help determine if you need immediate attention and what the next steps should be. 

Common Dental Emergencies We Handle at Laguna Springs Dental

When you get in touch with our team during a dental emergency, we'll make every effort to see you as soon as possible. We understand that you need relief and quick solutions, and we do everything we can to provide same-day treatment if it's possible. 

Some of the dental emergencies we handle are:

  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Lost or broken restorations, like a crown or filling
  • Dislodged or knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
  • Toothaches
  • Abscessed teeth

It's a good idea to contact your dentist first during a dental emergency, as they are much better equipped to treat teeth than a hospital would be. You can save valuable time, which can sometimes mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth. 

Don't hesitate to reach out to Laguna Springs Dental if you or a loved one is in pain or experiencing a tooth emergency.

Composite Tooth Fillings

 

dentist showing patient his teeth x-raysIf you have a cavity, we use tooth-colored composite fillings. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings are virtually undetectable when you smile. They are also healthier than silver fillings because the method used to place them allows us to preserve more healthy tooth structure. 

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Sometimes a damaged or decayed tooth needs more strength and support than a filling alone provides. We offer realistic-looking dental crowns so you can chew comfortably and smile confidently. 

A dental bridge is a tooth prosthetic we typically recommend to replace one or two missing teeth in a row. An artificial tooth called a pontic sits in the gap and crowns anchor it to teeth on either side. 

Dental Implant Placement and Restoration

Dr. Albik has extensive experience and expertise in placing and restoring implants at our Elk Grove, CA, dental office. He uses the latest leading-edge technology to plan implant placement and ensure excellent long-term results. His expertise also enables him to offer All-on-4 implants, using as few as four implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth.

Root Canal Treatment

If you have a painful, infected tooth, our dentist would recommend root canal treatment. You've probably heard many stories, but getting a root canal is not much more complex than having a tooth filled. It isn't the procedure that causes pain; it's the infection inside your tooth. Root canal treatments are extremely beneficial because they save a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. 

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Sometimes a tooth is so damaged or decayed that the only option is to remove it. We might also recommend removing wisdom teeth if they're causing problems or become impacted. Our caring dental team will ensure you are comfortable and have a stress-free procedure. 

We Work with Your Financial Needs

Finances often play a part in whether or not to seek dental care, but you shouldn't have to forego important treatment because of your budget. At Laguna Springs Dental, we accept all major PPO insurances and file claims on your behalf. Our dental team will ensure you receive every benefit you're entitled to under your plan.

We also offer third-party financing through various companies like CareCredit that finance healthcare costs, including dentistry.

General Dentistry Technology

Digital X-Rays & Sensors

Digital x-rays, also known as digital radiographs, are critical to providing safe, effective dental care. These x-rays produce high-quality images of your teeth, gums, and surrounding structures, allowing our dentists to diagnose and plan treatment accurately.

The most significant benefit is that digital x-rays reduce radiation exposure by as much as 80 percent compared to film x-rays. Taking digital x-rays is also more comfortable because we use digital sensors that fit comfortably in your mouth. Capturing images is quick and convenient, and our dentists can share them with you on a computer monitor to discuss your dental needs.

We can also easily store and share digital images among our dental team, other professionals, and your insurance company, if necessary.

Laser Dentistry in Elk Grove

Laser Dentistry

Laser technology has been used for decades to improve the efficiency and outcomes of medical procedures; at Laguna Springs Dental, we offer you the benefits of laser dentistry. Since laser dentistry is non-invasive, our dentists can perform efficient procedures, produce minimal bleeding, and result in faster recovery times than traditional methods.

We commonly use laser dentistry for soft tissue procedures, such as gum contouring, crown lengthening, and treating periodontal disease. They can also be used for removing oral lesions and treating cold sores.
