    El Dorado Hills Cosmetic Dental Services

    Cosmetic Dental Services El Dorado Hills, CA

    Cosmetic Dental Services

    At Scott Dexter, DDS, we offer cosmetic dental services in El Dorado Hills. Patients can benefit from having a single procedure or having a full smile makeover. We understand that a persons’ smile can transform their entire appearance, restore self-confidence, and make it easier to speak clearly. Whether your goal is to improve your appearance or to improve the functionality of your teeth – we can help.

    If you live in El Dorado Hills, CA, we invite you to call (916) 233-0910 and schedule a consultation to speak with Dr. Dexter. During your appointment, we will examine your teeth and discuss the goals that you have for your smile. Since there are so many types of procedures to choose from, it is important to understand what you are trying to accomplish so that we can customize a recommendation that fits your lifestyle and timeframe goals.

    Before we schedule any cosmetic dental services, we will want to ensure that your teeth and gums are in good health. It is essential that they are. Otherwise, you will take longer to heal, and your teeth will continue to deteriorate over time. Starting with healthy teeth, or restoring damaged ones during the process, is important for keeping your new smile looking fabulous for years to come.

    Simultaneously, your gums need to be in good health before completing any major cosmetic work. Many people are unaware of how important the connection between the gums and teeth are. If your gums are receding or you have some level of gum disease, it will continue to advance and put your teeth at risk for further infection and even bone loss. Any level of gum disease can jeopardize any cosmetic work that we complete. Thus, if gum disease is present, we will treat it first.

    Once you are ready for a cosmetic procedure, we will have you come in for your scheduled appointment time. We typically recommend starting with a teeth whitening procedure. This can be important because any restoration or cosmetic work you choose can involve creating a crown or veneer. Whether restoring a damaged tooth or replacing it, we typically create a new tooth using resin, ceramic, or porcelain. These materials are all similar in nature and are stain resistant. If we transform your smile with veneers, for example, they will not stain like natural teeth. The challenge is that they do not whiten like natural teeth either. That means that before you have cosmetic work, you will want to ensure that your natural teeth are the shade that you like. If you have all of your teeth corrected, then this is not an issue. If, however, you are only focusing on one or two teeth, they will be made to match your surrounding teeth. If you do not like their color, the newly-restored tooth will also be a shade that you do not like.

    Our team will then go to work on transforming your smile from ordinary to stunning. Whether we are closing gaps between teeth, changing their overall shape or size, covering dark stains, straightening teeth, or restoring teeth, our cosmetic dental services can give you the smile you have always wanted. For more information or to speak with Dr. Dexter call 916-233-0910.

    Covid-19 Update

    Your health and safety are the main priority of Dr. Dexter and his team. We want you to feel assured that, when you come into our office, we have done everything to minimize your risk of exposure to the Coronavirus or any other communicable illnesses. In addition to our standard precautions infection control practices, our team will be implementing the following additional measures and screening procedures to ensure your health and safety:

    1. Our waiting room will be closed. In the unlikely event that you are asked to wait for your appointment, please be understanding if we ask you to wait in your car.
    2. Patients will be asked to affirm that they have not experienced flu-like symptoms in the past fourteen days.
    3. Patient temperatures will be taken with a non-contact thermometer and patients with a temperature of 100 degrees or greater will be rescheduled.
    4. Team members will be wearing N95 masks with surgical masks covering them and may be wearing face shields so spoken communication may be a bit more difficult than usual.
    5. Patients will be asked to rinse for 60 seconds before procedures with Peroxyl, a rinse that has been shown to remove over 90% of Coronavirus from a patient’s mouth.
    6. High-volume HEPA filtration units have been installed in each treatment room to minimize the duration of any aerosol contamination. Three stages of HEPA will be used though research confirms that a single stage is adequate to remove coronavirus from the air.
    7. Ultraviolet spectrum photo decontamination will be performed in each operatory between patients.
    8. Our staff has been screened for Coronavirus and will continue to be screened on a weekly basis.
    9. You may notice that the ultrasonic scaler will not be used for cleanings because it produces aerosol. Rest assured that although the ultrasonic scaler does increase efficiency, it does not increase the precision of cleaning so the quality of your cleaning will not be affected by this adaptation.
    10. For procedures that produce aerosol we have outfitted one of our rooms with isolation fans to remove any aerosol from the room and a door has been installed to prevent aerosol from this room contaminating the rest of the office. Unfortunately, this room is a bit small and we apologize for the cramped conditions. Additionally, we will use additional isolation devices to minimize the amount of saliva that can be aerosolized in this room.

      We would like to thank you for your understanding during these unusual times and express our gratitude for your continued confidence.

      Sincerely,
      Scott R. Dexter DDS
