    Dental Procedures

    Our dental procedures can keep you and your family in excellent oral health, restore damaged teeth and transform your smile into something truly beautiful. At Scott Dexter, DDS, we understand that each of our patients’ smiles is unique and so are their health concerns. As such, we meet with each patient to discuss any health concerns and goals prior to recommending specific dental procedures. If you live in El Dorado Hills, we invite you to schedule an appointment by calling (916) 233-0910. During your examination, we can look for any signs of infection or cavities; discuss what you do and do not like about your smile; and determine the best way to proceed.

    In the past, there were not as many options for treating or restoring teeth. Fortunately, technology has revolutionized dentistry, and there are now a variety of options for treating all types of oral health concerns. Gone are the days where teeth were pulled on a regular basis. Now, the majority of damaged or infected teeth can be saved when treated early enough. Simultaneously, if teeth do fall out there are a variety of procedures for replacing them that go well beyond removable dentures.

    If you have had dental work done in the past or are currently wearing dentures and are not satisfied with the results, schedule an appointment with Scott Dexter, DDS. Our dental procedures use the latest in dental technology allowing us to improve the appearance and functionality of former restorations. For example, we can replace old metal fillings or crowns with tooth-colored ones for a more natural appearance. We can also treat teeth that have had a bonding procedure in the past, if the material is now looking old and dated.

    We can make each restoration blend in with the surrounding teeth. Whether replacing an old crown or fixing a recently damaged tooth, the tooth will look fantastic once complete and it will be difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish the difference between the natural teeth and the restoration. There are multiple types of dental work we can use to accomplish this goal including dental veneers and dental crowns. Those who want to replace a tooth may benefit from a dental bridge, dental implants or modern dentures instead. Regardless of what procedure is necessary, we will ensure that it is completed to perfection.

    At Scott Dexter, DDS, we also work to ensure that patients remain comfortable and relaxed during the dental procedure. We can offer several types of light sedation to make this a possibility. We understand that many adults have concerns over getting their teeth worked on and at times, simply need to relax. Whether you do so through sedation or friendly conversation, we are here to help. With more intensive procedures, we will ensure that you do not feel any discomfort along the way. To learn more or to schedule an appointment with our El Dorado Hills dentist office, 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
