Yes, we do general dentistry at Diamond Smiles. And our staff is highly trained, very experienced, and committed to your comfort and care.
Did you know that Periodontal Disease (gum disease) is linked to higher rates of strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, pre-term babies, and more? Periodontal Disease affects 3 out of 4 adults and is the leading cause of tooth loss. The worst part about this disease is that it is typically painless, so you really don’t know if you have a problem or not. Signs of Periodontal Disease include: red/puffy gums, bleeding when you brush or floss, bad breath, loose teeth in severe forms, and more. At Diamond Smiles, we treat this disease aggressively, as we believe everyone should hold onto their teeth for their lifetime.
Did you know that oral cancer has one of the worst survival rates when compared to other cancers? Most dentists have been trained to provide an oral cancer screening but unfortunately, they do not. At Diamond Smiles, we provide a cancer screening of the neck, throat, and mouth during every cleaning appointment. If you desire, we will even check your blood pressure for you!
In years of serving the needs of our patients, we have found many problems with the Thyroid Gland, the spinal column, high blood pressure, and cancers that, if left untreated, may have lead to more severe problems, even death. At Diamond Smiles, your overall health is of utmost importance to us!
At Diamond Smiles, we only use composite fillings. Many dentists still use amalgam (silver fillings), which can contain mercury and other undesirable materials. However, because of the potential dangers with these metals, we utilize the composite product for all our fillings.
Everyone deserves to have a beautiful, bright smile. At Diamond Smiles we have multiple options to help get your teeth as white as possible. We have 2 in-office whitening systems, Whitening Zoom Laser and Sinsational Laser Whitening, which take 30 minutes to 2 hours and whitening your teeth an average of 4 to 6 shades.
We also offer Day White, which is a take-home whitening system. You wear the whitening material in trays specifically designed for your mouth. Treatment time is one hour per day, and typically takes two to six weeks to achieve desired results.
Dr. Luna is one of the 15% of dentists world-wide to have CEREC technology, which uses 3D imaging and special fabrication techniques to produce crowns and bridges in as little as one hour. What that means for you is no impressions, no temporaries, no second visit or having to get numbed up again!
We specialize in services not available all dental offices, such as: same-day crowns, TMJ, and sleep apnea treatment.
Dental implants are one of the greatest advancements in dentistry. An implant can be used to replace one tooth, or all of your teeth. Implants can be fixed in your mouth, like natural teeth, or they can be used under dentures and partials to make them more stable. If you are missing teeth, or have difficulty eating with your denture or partial, implants may be a solution to allow you to chew normally once again!
We have all seen the shows: Extreme Makeover, The Swan, Botched, etc and watched people be transformed right in front of our eyes. These services are not just for the rich and famous. At Diamond Smiles, we have been very fortunate to provide thousands of veneers to help improve the smiles, and lives, of our patients.
From Botox and Fillers, to bonding and veneers, to full mouth reconstruction, no one has more experience than Dr. Luna and Diamond Smiles Dentistry. If you have been unhappy with your appearance, let Dr. Luna and Diamond Smiles provide you with a free consultation and come up with a plan that fulfills your desires and dreams. Everyone deserves to look and feel their very best!
In most cases, “TMJ” refers to a clenching and grinding habit. We all do it but some more than others. In severe cases, you may suffer with: jaw pain, sensitive teeth, popping or crunching noises in the joint itself, HEADACHES, neck pain, back pain, even tingling/numbness in the fingers. If you have been diagnosed with “TMJ,” you know how debilitating these pains and headaches can be.
There are two major philosophies when it comes to treating “TMJ.” Without getting technical, one is based on “centric relation” and the other on “neuromuscular dentistry.” Fortunately, Dr. Luna has received advanced training in both. He can discuss which treatment option is best for you to relieve your symptoms and to prevent further damage from occurring.
Unfortunately there are many of us walking around with mouths that have been destroyed from poor dental care, drug addictions, trauma, and more. They are now to a point where something as simple as eating is a difficult, and painful, experience. If you are one of these people, and you have been too embarrassed to come to the dentist, please call us. Regardless of the origin of the destruction, Dr. Luna can create a customized solution to successfully restore your teeth and bite to its natural beauty, position, and strength!
It is estimated that 45% of the population snores, which includes women, and over 22 million Americans suffer with sleep apnea, a condition in which you stop breathing in your sleep. Sleep apnea can leads to increased risks of high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, accidents, and more.
Conventional treatments for snoring and sleep apnea have included surgery to remove structures such as the uvula, tonsils, and adenoids, and the use of a CPAP machine. Some of these procedures have shown only moderate success rates. Dr. Luna has helped many patients with a custom-fabricated dental device that increases the three-dimensional space in the airway, allowing you to breathe without the use of a machine. If your dream is to have a quiet, restful sleep, ask Dr. Luna about treatment options available for you.
While we are primarily concerned about your oral health, we understand that everybody wants to look his or her best. With dentistry’s many advances, you no longer have to settle for chipped, stained, or misshapen teeth. You now have choices that may help you smile with confidence. Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and natural colored restorations are just a few of the options available that may give you the smile of your dreams. These smile-enhancing treatments may be much more comfortable, less time-consuming, and more affordable than you realize.
