Everything You Need, All in One Place

We believe great oral health starts with access to comprehensive, compassionate care. Our practice brings together multiple dental specialties so you spend less time searching for providers and more time enjoying a healthy smile. Below is an overview of the services we offer at Santa Rita Dental.

1. General Dentistry: General dentistry is the foundation of a healthy mouth. Our general dental services include routine cleanings, exams, dental fillings, crowns, bridges, sealants, fluoride treatments, and mercury-free restorations. Regular visits help us catch small concerns before they become bigger problems, keeping your smile strong for years to come.
2. Cosmetic Dentistry: A confident smile can change the way you feel every day. Our cosmetic dental services include professional teeth whitening trays and custom porcelain veneers. Whether you want a brighter appearance or a complete aesthetic transformation, we work with you to create results that look and feel natural.
3. Periodontal Care: Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. Our periodontal services address gum disease at every stage and include scaling and root planing, periodontal cleanings, laser therapy, and gum contouring and reshaping. Treating gum disease early protects your teeth, your jawbone, and your overall health.
4. Preventative Dentistry: Protecting your smile before problems arise is always the smartest approach. Our preventative services focus on custom mouthguards for athletes and patients who grind their teeth, as well as occlusal night guards for those experiencing jaw tension or bite-related discomfort. These small investments can prevent significant damage over time.
5. Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry: Missing or damaged teeth affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our restorative dental services include dental implants, implant restorations, implant-retained dentures and partials, full and partial dentures, and flippers and removable partial dentures. We take a personalized approach to every restoration so your results function beautifully and look completely natural.
6. Endodontic Treatment: When a tooth is infected or severely damaged, saving it is always the priority. We offer limited endodontic services including root canal therapy and post & core procedures. Our team takes every step to ensure you are comfortable throughout the process.
7. Orthodontic Treatment: A straighter smile improves both aesthetics and oral health. We offer Invisalign clear aligner therapy for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign is discreet, removable, and effective for a wide range of alignment concerns.
8. Oral Surgery: When a tooth cannot be saved, gentle removal is sometimes the best path forward. Our oral surgery services include standard tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal. We prioritize patient comfort and clear aftercare guidance to support smooth, quick recoveries.
9. Pediatric Dentistry: We love caring for little smiles. Our pediatric dental services include pit and fissure sealants. We create a warm, low-pressure environment where children feel safe and develop healthy dental habits from an early age.
