Finding Your Dental Home
THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A TRUSTED PRACTICE
Choosing the right dental practice for you and your family is a big decision. Your dental home should be a place where you feel comfortable and respected, as well as confident that you will receive high-quality care. One of the real benefits of returning to the same dental practice throughout your life is continuity of care and the strong relationships that are built. When you see the same team, they will also be highly attuned to any changes in your oral health status and will have a thorough knowledge of your dental history. Our team is bilingual and can communicate in both English and Spanish, so you can feel at ease discussing your dental care needs in either language.
Our Approach
PREVENTION AND FUTURE FOCUSED
At Dentistry for Children, we take a proactive approach to your care to help you avoid major dental problems that could be costly or uncomfortable to fix. Through comprehensive evaluations, regular cleanings, and education about at-home routines, we empower patients to maintain optimal oral health for life.
Professional Dental Cleanings
REMOVE PLAQUE FOR A SPARKLING SMILE
Professional dental cleanings are a key component of a preventive approach. Our experienced dental professionals use special instruments to gently and thoroughly remove built-up plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas. This will leave your teeth feeling smooth and your smile looking brighter. Most of all, it’s a great defense against cavities, gum disease, and other common dental problems.

Oral Cancer Screenings
DETECT ABNORMALITIES EARLY
Oral cancer can be a serious, life-threatening condition if found too late. Our team performs an oral cancer screening at every dental evaluation. Using visualization and palpation techniques, we will carefully inspect your mouth for any abnormalities. Early detection is key, so we encourage all of our patients to come in for a checkup every six months for an evaluation and cleaning.
Common Preventive Treatments
FLUORIDE VARNISH & DENTAL SEALANTS
We use a range of preventive treatments to keep our patients smiling. For example, fluoride varnish helps to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities, while dental sealants act as a protective barrier against decay.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
FIX SMALL CAVITIES
Fillings are also a common treatment used to restore small cavities and minor damage so that patients can retain the strength and function of their teeth. We use tooth-colored fillings at our practice. They look natural and will blend in beautifully with your smile.
Dental Crowns
SAVE SEVERELY DAMAGED TEETH
Dental crowns are a versatile restorative solution for teeth that have suffered extensive damage, decay, or injury. If you need a crown, we will create one for you based on detailed digital impressions. This means it will fit comfortably and look great. Dental crowns effectively help you to save a damaged tooth from extraction. It reinforces the tooth’s structure and protects it from further damage. At Dentistry for Children, we offer both zirconia and ceramic crowns.
Tooth Extraction
WHEN SAVING A TOOTH IS NO LONGER AN OPTION
In some cases, extraction of a problematic tooth may be necessary to preserve your overall oral health. If you do need an extraction, we will work with you to ensure your comfort. Your dentist will carefully remove the tooth, and you will receive detailed aftercare instructions. This will help you heal quickly and minimize discomfort.
Periodontal Therapy
RESTORE WELLNESS WITH HEALTHY GUMS
Gum disease is a serious condition that can cause considerable pain and tooth loss. At Dr. Romero and Dr. Lezama’s Dental Office, we provide periodontal therapy to treat this chronic gum infection and restore your gums to health. Periodontal therapy is an umbrella term for a range of treatments, including scaling, root planing, and other therapies. By removing bacteria, stopping disease progression, and encouraging gum reattachment, we can help you achieve a healthy smile again.
Nightguards and Mouth Guards
PROTECTION FOR VULNERABLE TEETH
If you grind your teeth in your sleep or participate in contact sports, ask our team about a nightguard or mouth guard. We fabricate these innovative, comfortable oral appliances to ensure your teeth are protected from the dangers of teeth grinding (bruxism) or sports injuries. By adding a protective cushion around the teeth, they help prevent the need for costly restorative work in the future.
