General Dentistry
Maintaining healthy teeth and gums includes twice a year visits to Baldwin, DDS. Routine visits with our dental care team in Tahoe City are crucial to preventing diseases such as gum disease. At these visits, you will receive a dental cleaning and screening for gum disease, oral cancer, tooth decay, TMJ disorders, and malocclusion.
We will take dental X-rays will be when necessary. X-rays help us see the details of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
If you suffer from dental anxiety, we offer a relaxing, calm atmosphere. We will take the time to understand your fears and then take the necessary measures to help calm those fears.
Our general dentistry treatments include:
- Dental Fillings: If you have a cavity, we provide fillings as a routine treatment. We provide comfortable fillings so you can preserve your natural teeth. Our white fillings match the color of your natural teeth.
- Periodontal Therapy: We treat gum disease with deep gum cleanings. Scaling and root planing go beneath the gum line to remove infection. Getting professional care for gum disease can lessen the risk of gum and tooth loss.
- Sedation Dentistry: Dental sedation isn’t just for patients with complex or lengthy treatment. If you have dental anxiety, contact us for comfortable care with safe sedation. We provide multiple types of sedation.
- Root Canals: A root canal removes the infection from within your tooth. After we remove infected tissue, we clean and fill your tooth. While many patients fear painful root canals, we numb your tooth before treatment for your comfort.
- Tooth Extractions: If you have an infected, impacted, or damaged tooth, we may remove it to improve your oral health. We also provide wisdom tooth removal. Removing problem teeth can prevent the spread of damage or infection to other teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
If you have concerns with your smile, you can turn to Tahoe City, CA area dentist Dr. Baldwin. Whether it is the color of your teeth or the shape of your smile, he has a cosmetic dentistry treatment to help you! If you lack confidence in your smile, it can affect your quality of life. Fixing these issues can enhance your overall appearance giving you more confidence in your social or professional life.
Cosmetic dental care includes:
- Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are porcelain shells that bond to the front of teeth. Dental veneers can cover small tooth gaps, slightly crooked teeth, and stained teeth. They offer a long-lasting way to change the look of your teeth.
- Invisalign: Clear Invisalign aligners are a great alternative to braces. Invisalign uses clear aligners that straighten crooked teeth over time. The aligners are also removable for easy cleaning.
- Tooth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening can provide faster, better results than store-bought options. We customize whitening treatment to you.
- Tooth Bonding: Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin that can cover small tooth chips, cracks, or gaps. Bonding can also cover stained teeth. While similar to veneers, bonding is easy removable.
Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Baldwin can address many dental health concerns. Fixing these concerns is important to your overall dental health. Damaged teeth, tooth loss, and decay can cause more problems if left untreated. Dr. Baldwin uses only the highest quality materials and advanced techniques when placing dental restorations. He offers same-day dental crowns with CEREC technology for easy, convenient care for a damaged or decayed tooth.
Our restorative dentistry services:
- TMJ Treatment: We treat TMJ disorders with nightguards. Wearing a custom nightguard can reduce the risk of teeth clenching and grinding. Custom nightguards also reduce tooth pain, headaches, and even tooth damage.
- Dental Implants: Implants are the gold standard for missing teeth. We can provide one or more dental implants to support false teeth. Because implants replace teeth at the root, they ensure tooth restorations last and act like natural teeth.
- Dental Crowns: Tooth crowns are caps that fully cover single teeth. They can cap off implants, cover fractured teeth, support bridges, or cover worn teeth. We custom-make tooth-colored crowns.
- Dental Bridges: Bridges replace rows of missing teeth. Traditional bridges are false teeth supported by dental crowns. We can also use implants to replace teeth with bridges.
- Dentures and Partials: While traditional dentures are removable, we recommend implant-supported dentures. Compared to traditional options, implant dentures do not slip. They also make biting and chewing easier than ever.
