Dentist in Thousand Oaks – Newbury Park, CA
A Dentist That
Thousand Oaks Trusts
It’s a quick drive from Thousand Oaks to Paraiso Family Dental and Orthodontics -- eight minutes by car, to be exact. And as our patients will tell you, it’s worth the trip. Dr. Gary Chaffee is the dentist Thousand Oaks trusts with its smiles. From children’s dental care to quality tooth replacement and everything in between, we’ve got a whole range of services to meet your whole family’s smile needs.
Preventive and General Dentistry Creates Healthy Smiles
The foundation of a healthy, beautiful smile is excellent preventive and general dentistry. We recommend patients of all ages undergo a checkup and cleaning at least every six months. This visit is important for removing the plaque and tartar buildup that causes tooth decay and gum disease. Regular preventive care also helps us to catch problems early, while conservative treatment is still possible.
Children’s teeth have special needs, and we are equipped to serve small smiles with pediatric dentistry services. Gentle first visits and dental sealants and fluoride treatments help set your child on the path to enjoying a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime!
Remember that preventive dental care is crucial at home, too. Brush your teeth for two minutes, at least twice a day, and floss daily for continued oral health. People who are at a higher risk for cavities and gum disease, like smokers or those with diseases affecting the immune system, benefit from more frequent brushing and flossing.
Maintain a balanced, nutritious diet and stay away from tobacco to protect your teeth and gums from decay and infection.
And one more thing. Did you know that your dentist can treat your clicking, popping jaw? TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction is a painful issue -- but Dr. Chaffee provides TMJ therapy as part of our general dentistry services to help you find relief at last.
Cosmetic Dentistry Reveals Your Dazzling Teeth
After we have achieved solid dental health, services in cosmetic dentistry allow your teeth to sparkle like you have always desired. Let’s discuss how professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign, all-porcelain crowns, and other aesthetic services can transform your smile. We also offer traditional orthodontics for teens and adults with misaligned bites. Patients should be in good oral health, free from gum disease or tooth decay, to undergo cosmetic treatments.
Quality Tooth Replacement Is Crucial
After you have lost one or more teeth, finding a secure, quality replacement is important for your continued oral and overall health. Missing teeth make it difficult to chew and speak properly -- and your confidence certainly suffers with a gapped smile. Dr. Chaffee offers tooth replacement with mini and traditional dental implants, dentures and partials, and all-porcelain dental crowns. He’ll discuss your options with you and help you understand which is best for your smile.
