As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Perez offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tooth Displacement: A displaced tooth is one that's been knocked out of alignment, possibly due to an injury; a general dentist can determine the extent of the problem and provide treatment options.
- Mouth Lesions: A general dentist can evaluate suspicious mouth lesions, potentially preventing or early detecting oral cancer which is extremely important for improving treatment outcomes.
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder: TMJ disorder is a problem with the jaw joint that can cause pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement, and your general dentist can help diagnose and treat it with various methods.
- Impacted Teeth: A general dentist can diagnose and treat impacted teeth, which are teeth that haven't fully emerged and might cause problems like infection or damage to nearby teeth.
- Ankylosis of Tooth: Ankylosis of a tooth means the tooth's root is fused to the jawbone, preventing it from moving normally, and a general dentist can help diagnose and potentially treat this condition.
- Bleeding Gums: Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease, and your general dentist can diagnose and treat it to prevent further problems.
- Open Bite: With an open bite, there's a gap between your upper and lower teeth when you bite down, and your general dentist can assess the cause and recommend solutions.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Perez offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Dental Laser Procedure: A dental laser can help remove decayed tooth material, reshape gums, or treat cold sores with a minimally invasive approach.
- Gum Graft Surgery: Gum graft surgery is used to treat gum recession, which can lead to tooth sensitivity, bone loss, and tooth loss.
- Complex Tooth Extraction: Complex tooth extractions are done to remove problematic teeth that can't be easily extracted, improving oral health and preventing further complications.
- e.max® Dental Crowns: e.max crowns offer a long-lasting solution for repairing teeth affected by decay, fractures, or cosmetic imperfections, providing a beautiful, strong restoration.
- Dental Filling: A dental filling is a treatment to rebuild a damaged tooth and restore its shape and function after decay or injury.
- Pediatric Filling: Pediatric fillings are a common treatment to repair cavities in children's teeth, preserving the tooth's health and appearance.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Perez:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter the bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth and gums, but also your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Perez can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Perez can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Perez, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Perez.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding while brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious gum disease.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are vital for preventing problems like tartar buildup and early cavities or gum disease, which can become costly or painful to treat if left unaddressed.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of a damaged tooth. A crown is a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, used when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing strength and protection.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, often causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Perez can reline existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
