Dental Concepts

Dental Examination
When it comes to general dental care, our caring, professional staff can provide the services you need for a beautiful, healthy smile. This means conducting regular dental cleanings and exams every six months, along with any necessary x-rays and minor dental work that may be required along the way. You will work with an experienced dentist in Salinas who has your best interests at heart and wants to give you the care you need for a healthy smile you will be proud to flash.
X-rays
At Dental Concepts you will always receive, gentle, honest and safe oral care while using the most advanced technologies in the dental industry. Give us a call today to schedule your first appointment and truly see how easy, dental x-rays have become.

Teeth Cleaning
Dr. Trujillo is the periodontist on staff at Dental Concepts, and he is an expert at keeping patients' gums and other teeth-supporting structures healthy. Whether you need your gums cleaned or you seek periodontal disease treatment for gingivitis, Dr. Trujillo can help.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Fillings are done to remove decay and replace affected tooth structure. It is called a filling because new material fills in the hole that decay left behind. Today, most cavities are treated with tooth colored composite resin fillings. These tooth colored fillings are bonded to the tooth, allowing much of the tooth´s structure to be preserved.
Veneers
Veneers are a dental procedure in which a thin covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only done to the part of the teeth that are visible when talking or smiling. Veneers can be used to address a wide range of dental concerns, including chipped teeth, tooth discoloration, misaligned teeth, gapping, and worn down teeth.
Crowns
It takes two appointments to restore a tooth with a crown. On the first visit, the decay is removed from the tooth and it is shaped to accept the crown. An impression is made of the prepared tooth. After the impression is made, a temporary crown is made and cemented into place. Approximately two weeks later, the patient returns to remove the temporary crown and set the new crown that was custom made at the laboratory. The crown will be checked to make sure it is the ideal color and fit and then will be permanently cemented in its place.
Bridges
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment (also referred to as endodontic therapy) is necessary when the nerve or tooth suffers irreversible trauma. This trauma can be caused by accidents, tooth grinding, fractures, repeated dental procedures, or tooth decay. If left untreated, an affected nerve can lead to an infection (abscess). The initial symptom of an affected tooth is constant intense pain. The pain may subside temporarily until the infection begins and then the pain will return.

Deep Cleaning
With proper care, it may be possible to return the periodontium to a healthy state. This is where appropriate gum treatments come in. If you’re having a problem, come in and see us so we can take care of it right away. As with many dental concerns, the earlier gum disease is identified, the better your treatment options are. The treatment may be as simple as a deep cleaning with our hygienists to more complex treatments and surgeries with our periodontist. Gum disease is a serious concern, but with the help of our office, the appropriate treatment can restore your mouth to its healthiest state.

Dentures
Implants can also be used to support as an implant bridge and replace multiple teeth. This is an alternative to partial dentures, and has several advantages. First, there is no adjustment period since the implants are just like teeth, so they are easy to get used to. Second, there is no discomfort or difficulty in eating. Third, and best of all, they are permanent and can’t be removed.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an option to replace a missing tooth. In this procedure, a small titanium shaft is surgically implanted into the bone and allowed to heal. The bone grows around it forming a tight connection, which additionally slows or stops the bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is missing. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, the dentist then works to attach the replacement tooth onto the top of the implant. This permanent solution has advantages over bridge work as it does not require prepping the surrounding teeth for support.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Maxillofacial Surgery
The Versatile Imaging software allows for full mouth viewing for Orthodontics, Periodontics, Endodontics, Maxillofacial Surgery, Sinus and Airway Analysis and Anatomically Accurate Extraoral Bitewings.
Tooth Extractions
Suffice it say, there are still many people in the population who have wisdom teeth as a part of their genetic makeup. For many of these people, the most ideal treatment for wisdom teeth problems is dental extraction.

Orthodontics
Still, most foods have the potential to damage your teeth without proper care, and it’s okay to enjoy any candy in moderation – even candy canes. Just make sure that you brush and floss regularly, and schedule your cleanings here at Dental Concepts and Orthodontics. Remember, most dental insurance re-sets on January 1
Braces
Orthodontic treatment is a method used to diagnose, correct, and prevent dental problems caused by misaligned teeth or an incorrectly positioned jaw. Braces, retainers, and other functional appliances are used to correct the problems caused by malocclusions and restore a healthy bite and smile.

Teeth Whitening
This is the procedure of making teeth whiter, and therefore more attractive. Discoloration of teeth is a common cosmetic problem that is frequently caused by aging, staining from food or beverages, or lifestyle choices. To combat dull and yellowing teeth, our office offers a simple whitening solution. We use a technique that utilizes preloaded trays with specially formulated whitening gel. These thin trays are placed on your teeth and worn for an hour a day. The entire process takes about ten days to fully whiten the teeth.
