Teeth Cleaning
At Pearce & Associates in Point Richmond, CA our office is equipped with ultrasonic tooth cleaning technology to accompany scaling and root planing. Dr. Pearce is always watching for new dental technology that can help improve their patient’s oral health, and this is just one of those examples. This equipment is basically a scaler with a special tip that vibrates at a high rate and flushes out bacteria below the gum with water. As the tip glides over the tooth surface it is much more effective at removing hard buildup and calcium deposits than hand scaling alone. It will smooth out bumps and divots in the surface to prevent buildup. For ultrasonic cleaning in the Point Richmond, Richmond, and San Pablo areas contact Pearce & Associates for an expertly performed procedure.

Fillings
If you are looking for a simple and effective way to improve your smile, consider the option of replacing your old, amalgam (silver-mercury) fillings with new, composite resin, tooth-colored fillings. Not only are amalgam fillings dark in color, these old fillings have raised health concerns based on the mercury they contain.
Resin Composite
Composite: Another option to treat a cavity is to use a composite resin filling. This method is preferred by many because the coloring of the filling can be matched to the natural shade of tooth color, making them (if at all) much less visible than amalgams. They provide significant strength to the restoration, though less than an amalgam, so they are best used on small to mid sized cavities that will endure moderate chewing pressure. Also there is less drilling required for this type of filling, so more of the natural tooth can be preserved.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin facings of tooth-colored porcelain that slip over a tooth to improve its appearance. At Pearce & Associates we use these veneers as one of the most effective ways to cover imperfections such as chips, permanent stains and even crooked teeth.
Crowns
At Pearce & Associates, located in Point Richmond, CA, crown lengthening is a procedure that can be performed as a preventative measure against periodontal infections, and is usually implemented in response to repeated infection. The procedure is an effective option for those patients who have oversized gums covering a large portion of the crown. They often have problems maintaining their oral health because the extra gum tissue makes many more tight spaces that can trap food, breeding bacteria and infection. The procedure is quite simple, and the patient is sedated as the excess gum tissue is surgically removed. As this is happening Dr. Pearce shapes a smooth and symmetrical gum line with significantly less space so that it will be resistant to infection. For experienced performers of crown lengthening in Point Richmond, Richmond, and San Pablo contact Dr. Pearce at Pearce & Associates.
Bridges
At Pearce & Associates a dental bridge is an effective and simple solution that can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. As well as being unattractive, the gap from the missing teeth can inhibit proper eating and speaking.
Dental Bonding
The first step when applying cosmetic bonding is to score the teeth to be treated. This helps the material bond to your natural tooth. Then your Point Richmond dentist, Dr. Pearce, will coat the surface of your tooth with the resin and apply a special light in order to set it into its permanent position. Once this is completed the procedure is finished and your newly created smile should give you a look that perfectly blends with your natural teeth. They key to these results is taking the time to match the natural tooth color, something that Dr. Pearce always take great care while performing. For more information on improving your smile with cosmetic bonding in Point Richmond, Richmond, and San Pablo, CA, contact Pearce & Associates.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry improves or restores the function of a person’s natural teeth. Experience and skill in this area of dentistry is crucial because patients often come to us when their teeth have been lost or severely damaged.

Root Canal Treatment
Dr. Robert Pearce offers endodontic root canal treatment. Each tooth in your mouth sits in bone and is surrounded by gum tissue. Approximately two-thirds of each tooth (the root portion) is in jaw bone. Inside every tooth is a canal or canals (usually depending on the number of roots the tooth has)…
Apicoectomy
At Pearce & Associates in Point Richmond, CA (and all dental practices) the root end surgery is performed as a follow up to a root canal if infection or decay continues to be a problem. Also called an apicoectomy, the procedure is often required because of the complexity of the canals themselves. Rather than a single uniform chamber, the root canal has many tiny branches that can harbor infected material. The root end surgery removes just the very the tip (apex) of the root, where many infections originate. Nowadays the technology and techniques to detect these hidden infections is much better, so a follow up root canal can often solve the problem, but sometimes root end surgery it is still necessary.

Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal disease, more commonly known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection affecting the gums. This is brought on by plaque buildup on the teeth, as well as food particles left by improper brushing. While they may start as a relatively minor irritation, these infections can quickly become more serious as they deteriorate the gums and other supporting tissues. For this reason it is vitally important to prevent these infections from forming, and the best way is by scheduling six months cleanings at Pearce & Associates. When the infections are too deep, they cannot be treated with regular brushing. In these cases the gums must be opened and the infection removed via periodontal surgery.
Deep Cleaning
Depending on the exact condition of the teeth, such as if infection has set in below the gums, the patient may require a deep cleaning. This involves performing scaling and planing on the root of the tooth below the gum line. At Dr. Pearce’s dental practice we always take care to ensure your dental hygienist is very gentle while they perform this, and many patients feel no pain as the tools gently slip between the tooth and gum, but a mild anesthetic is sometimes used if it helps to relieve patient stress. For scaling and root planing in Point Richmond, Richmond, or San Pablo contact our office today.

Dentures
Dentures are one of the options available for those patients who have lost their natural teeth. At Pearce & Associates our goal is to provide dentures that replicate the lost teeth as closely as possible, both in functionality and appearance. To achieve this requires Dr. Pearce to get exact measurements by taking molds of the gums and surrounding supportive tissue. This will prevent slippage by ensuring as tight a fit as possible and will help create an aesthetic appearance by determining the best position in the mouth. Remember that as a person ages, their gum and mouth tissues can distort, altering the effectiveness of the current dentures. If you have not been measured for dentures recently and this is what you are experiencing, it may be necessary to get a re-fitting. Dr. Pearce provide excellent dentures in Point Richmond, CA, as well as the surrounding areas of Richmond and San Pablo, so contact their office for a consultation.

Dental Implants
Dental implants, including the recently approved metal-free zirconium implant are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
Dr. Pearce are very gentle and skilled at tooth extraction, and at their Point Richmond, CA office, it is a relatively simple and quick procedure. While the patient is mildly sedated, Dr. Pearce uses dental forceps to rock the tooth in order to break the connective ligaments so that the tooth is released. For tooth extractions in the Point Richmond, Richmond, and San Pablo areas, contact Dr. Pearce’s office, and their friendly staff will schedule your appointment.

Orthodontics
Instant orthodontics is one of the newest advancements in dental technology available at Pearce & Associates, and it makes getting straight teeth a fast and easy experience. Traditional orthodontic braces have many drawbacks such as abrasions caused by metal in the mouth, the painful tightening of the braces, the length of treatment, and the visibility of the braces themselves. Today all these concerns are addressed by the option of instant orthodontics.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place.
Braces

Teeth Whitening
Dr. Pearce will drill a small hole and insert a peroxide gel into the internal cavity of the tooth. The solution is left inside the tooth for about a week during which time it perforates into the dentin, lightening its color. After that time the tooth will be drained and the hole filled. This method of internal bleaching is highly effective, and the tooth will return to white. If you notice the appearance of internal stains, and think you may need internal bleaching in Point Richmond, Richmond, or San Pablo, please contact our office to determine whether it is the correct procedure for you.
Cosmetic Dentistry
The cosmetic dentistry treatments offered at Pearce & Associates are completely state-of-the-art. We use superior dental materials to ensure the work we do lasts many years. If you are considering changing your smile with one of our aesthetic options, keep in mind that cosmetic dentistry can actually help you improve your bite and strengthen teeth while giving you the confident smile you have always dreamed of.
General Dentistry
General dentistry is the care you need to keep your teeth and gums clean, healthy, and strong.
