There is no age limit at North Coast Dental Group. Because we are a pediatric practice and general dentistry practice, our children’s dentists can see patients from the first tooth into adolescence, and our great general dentists can see them through adulthood. We will talk with you about the right time for your child to move from a pediatric dentist to our general dentistry practice where they can still be seen by the hygienist with whom they are familiar and comfortable.

All children need support and a gentle, caring manner to feel comfortable during dental treatment. In some cases, mild sedation may benefit your child.

A dental crown, also known as a tooth cap, is a type of dental restoration used to reestablish a tooth’s shape and strength. Made out of porcelain, high tech ceramic, or precious metal alloys, a dental crown serves as the new outer surface for a tooth that has decayed or sustained damage. Dental crowns can also be used to improve the cosmetic appearance of one or more teeth.

Veneers can solve a variety of smile imperfections, covering worn, dull or stained teeth and teeth that have chips, cracks, gaps or an uneven appearance. Dental veneers are custom-designed porcelain, ceramic or composite resin shells that are bonded directly to your teeth. When your overall dental health indicates that veneers are a good solution, they can be a great way to brighten, whiten and reshape your smile.

Missing teeth should be replaced to restore your chewing ability, to keep your remaining teeth from shifting, or to prevent possible bone loss. Options for missing teeth include partial dentures, bridgework, dental implants and implant-based dentures. We will evaluate and consult with you to assess your overall dental health and offer treatment options that will help you regain normal function and reduce the likelihood of future complications.
