Excellence in General Dentistry in Palo Alto
At Beckstead Dental Group, your oral health is our top priority. Located in Palo Alto, our practice is led by distinguished Palo Alto dentists, Dr. Davis Beckstead and Dr. Mimi Salkola. With a deep commitment to the highest standards of dental care, we specialize in a wide range of general dentistry services designed to meet the needs of our diverse community.
Comprehensive Dental Care Tailored to You
Our general dentistry services are the cornerstone of our practice, ensuring that every patient receives personalized, thorough dental care. From routine cleanings to advanced restorative treatments, our team is equipped to handle all aspects of your dental health.
Dental Cleanings and Examinations
Regular dental cleanings and examinations are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. Our skilled hygienists perform detailed cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup, while our Palo Alto dentists examine your teeth and gums for any signs of dental issues. This preventive approach helps to avoid larger problems down the road and keeps your smile healthy and bright.
Restorative Dental Services
We understand that sometimes your teeth need extra care to bring them back to their best state. Our restorative general dentistry services include:
- Dental Crowns and Bridges: Perfect for restoring or replacing damaged or missing teeth, our crowns and bridges are crafted using the latest materials that mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: For cavities or minor tooth repairs, we offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a mercury-safe and mercury-free option that enhances both the health and aesthetics of your smile.
- Dental Sealants: Specifically designed for protecting teeth against decay, dental sealants are perfect for patients of all ages. The quick application process ensures that the grooves of your teeth are covered, providing an added layer of protection, particularly useful for children and teenagers who are prone to cavities.
- Fluoride Treatments: Strengthening enamel and combating decay, fluoride treatments are essential for maintaining long-term dental health. Suitable for both children and adults, this treatment helps to remineralize teeth, making them more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
Advanced Technology for Enhanced Comfort
Embracing the latest advancements in dental technology, Beckstead Dental Group offers digital impressions, which provide a more comfortable and precise alternative to traditional methods. This state-of-the-art technology ensures that your dental appliances and restorations fit perfectly and function optimally.
Specialized Procedures
We also offer specialized general dentistry services such as:
- Lingual Frenectomies: This procedure can greatly benefit patients with a tight lingual frenulum, improving speech and oral mobility.
- Enamel Shaping: Subtly reshape your teeth for a more uniform appearance, addressing minor cosmetic concerns that can make a big difference in your smile.
