San Pedro Dentist

San Pedro is home to many professionals and young families who love living in an urban setting. It is one of the more affordable places to live in the Los Angeles area and to make it even more enjoyable to live here, the city has been investing in renovations of various ports of call, making the city even more beautiful. Dentist of Torrance is also committed to making the community a happy, healthy, beautiful place to live by providing residents of San Pedro and other nearby cities with premier preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental procedures.

Services We Offer at Dentist of Torrance

A Lomita family dentist can help everyone in your family prevent dental disease. And if you do end up with decay or gum disease, the Dentist of Torrance team will help you to quickly and comfortably take care of the situation to alleviate discomfort and prevent further damage down the road. Here are just a few of the preventative and restorative services we offer our patients.

Family Dentistry in San Pedro

Not every dental practice is a good fit for every person in your family. In addition to serving your dental needs, our team is well-equipped to serve senior members of your family, as well as children. We offer preventative care (exams and cleanings), as well as orthodontic care, restorative dentistry (crowns, dentures, and fillings), and much more. Whatever you and your family's needs are, Dentist of Torrance can help.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in San Pedro

Wisdom teeth should be removed if they are impacted and there is not enough room for them to come into the mouth, or if they are difficult to clean once they come in. Being unable to clean the wisdom teeth can lead to decay and gum disease. It can even damage the surrounding teeth, causing crowding, crookedness, and even dental diseases. With the use of x-ray technology, we can determine whether there is enough room for the wisdom teeth to come in. If there is not, we can remove the teeth as soon as they start to come in (between the ages of 17 and 25 years).

Dentures in San Pedro

We believe that everyone should have beautiful teeth — even if they are fully edentulous. If you have lost your teeth, we want to provide you with a securely fitting, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing set of dentures. We can create traditional dentures, though we highly recommend implant dentures where possible, as they can provide a more secure fit and are typically more comfortable.

Dental Crowns in San Pedro

While many of the patients we treat with braces are younger, we believe you are never too old to straighten your teeth. In fact, if you were not able to fix occlusion issues when you were younger, now is the ideal time to do it. Treating bite issues can help prevent damage from years of incorrect bite pressure (from malocclusion and chewing), as well as from TMJ disorder, a painful jaw condition. The icing on the cake is that you get beautiful, straight, easier to clean teeth, too.

Deep Dental Cleaning in San Pedro

Tooth-colored fillings are the only type of fillings we offer in our practice. Silver, amalgam fillings are not as safe or practical and require us to remove more tooth structure to improve filling retention. Composite fillings are bonded to the tooth surface, so they last longer and are more stable. Plus, they look so much better.
