Beautiful, Long-Lasting
Metal-Free Dentistry
At
Carlsbad Dental Excellence, we understand your concerns regarding the use of metal fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metal.
Digital X-Rays
We offer in-office digital x-rays for your convenience. Digital x-rays are computer-generated images.
These images require up to 90% less radiation than conventional, film-type x-rays.
Instead of using the traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed &
then fixed in caustic & environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes
pictures via a small electronic sensor & instantaneously transmits a picture of
the tooth onto a video monitor. Therefore, we can see your
teeth & surrounding structures immediately. Feel free to contact us for more
details, or to make an appointment!
Cerec® - Same-Day Crowns!
The CEREC® system can produce crowns, onlays or veneers in a
single office visit. Unlike the traditional methods used for dental
restorations, CEREC® requires fewer injections, less drilling, &
less time out of your busy schedule. A CEREC® tooth restoration
isn't just convenient, it's also healthy. Instead of the amalgam,
gold- & silver-colored mercury fillings of the past, CEREC® uses
stronger, natural-colored, ceramic materials. Contact us today to learn more.
DIAGNOdent - Early Cavity Detection
DIAGNOdent is a powerful new laser used for early detection and diagnosis of tooth decay. It also helps locate decay that may be hidden in the cracks and crevices of teeth. Early detection means less damage, less pain, and less hassle for you down the road. Since your health and convenience are our top priorities, we feel that DIAGNOdent is an important tool for maintaining and ensuring your dental health. Please contact our practice today to learn more about DIAGNOdent.

Dental & Restorative Implants
Dental implants are essentially permanent, attached teeth that replace, partials, bridges or dentures. A titanium implant is permanently attached to your bone & a prosthetic tooth (crown) is attached to the implant. Implants are preferred to bridges because they can improve your bite without damaging neighboring teeth (like a bridge). Treatment can be finished in 3 to 5 visits over the space of about 4 to 12 months.

Mercury-Free Dentistry
We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury, instead of traditional silver fillings.
Healthy Gums Lead to a Healthy Body!
Continued research has linked gum disease to diabetes, heart disease & low birth weight. In an effort to rid your teeth of the plaque & tartar that causes gum
disease (gingivitis) & tooth decay, your dental care hygienist may suggest a regimen of care that requires more frequent visits.
