As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Cabrera offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Cavity: Tooth decay leads to cavities, which are tiny holes in the enamel that your dentist can repair with fillings or other treatments.
- Chipped Tooth: Chipped teeth, whether small or large, should be seen by a dentist to prevent infection and improve the tooth's overall health.
- Dental Crowding: If your teeth don't have enough space to grow properly, resulting in overlapping or misaligned teeth, it's called dental crowding; your dentist can develop a treatment plan to address this.
- Gingivitis: Gingivitis is a common gum problem characterized by inflamed gums, and your dentist provides treatments and guidance on prevention to keep your gums healthy.
- Grinding of Teeth: Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a condition where you clench or grind your teeth, often during sleep, and your dentist can help diagnose and treat it with custom mouthguards or other solutions.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease is caused by bacteria buildup and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated; your dentist provides regular checkups and treatments to prevent and manage it.
- Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess is a painful infection at the root of a tooth, and your general dentist can drain it, prescribe antibiotics, and potentially perform a root canal to save the tooth.
- Tooth Decay: Your dentist can identify and repair tooth decay, which happens when acid from plaque eats away at your tooth enamel, causing holes and potential infection.
- Tooth Discoloration: Discoloration of teeth can be caused by various factors, and your general dentist can assess the issue and develop a personalized treatment plan to address it.
- Tooth Loss: Tooth loss is the absence of one or more teeth, and a general dentist can help replace missing teeth with dentures, bridges, or implants.
- Toothache: Experiencing a toothache? A general dentist can examine your tooth, determine the source of the pain, and provide effective treatment to eliminate it.
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. Cabrera offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Teeth Scaling: This procedure is a key part of preventative dental care, keeping your teeth and gums healthy and reducing your risk of serious dental problems.
- Dental Inlays: To address moderate to severe tooth decay or damage, a dentist might use a dental inlay, a stronger, more customized filling option.
- Dental Bonding: To improve the look of your teeth, your dentist might use dental bonding to cover stains or reshape teeth that are uneven or misshapen.
- Dental Implant: If you're missing teeth, dental implants can act like real tooth roots, supporting crowns or dentures for a natural-looking and functioning smile.
- Root Canal: A root canal is a procedure to repair and save a severely damaged or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp (nerve and blood vessels) inside.
- Dental Crown: Dental crowns can improve the aesthetics of a tooth, covering discoloration or imperfections for a natural-looking result.
- Lower Dentures: If you've lost lower teeth, lower dentures provide a full or partial set of artificial teeth to improve your smile and oral function.
- Denture Repair: Denture repair helps to address issues like loose clasps, broken teeth, or worn-down areas on your dentures.
- Dental Onlay: Dental onlays are used to repair teeth with extensive decay or fractures, offering a stronger, more long-lasting solution compared to a traditional filling.
- Dental Bridge: A bridge is a fixed prosthetic that's cemented into place, providing a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
- Simple Tooth Extractions: Simple tooth extractions are a common treatment for removing teeth that are beyond repair, relieving pain and improving your smile.
- Composite Fillings: Instead of using metal, composite fillings use tooth-colored resin to fill cavities, creating a natural-looking repair.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Cabrera:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. 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 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. Cabrera can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch for a small area of damage, while a crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used for more substantial damage, cracks, or after a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Cabrera, 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. Cabrera.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis), which can progress to more serious gum disease if not treated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Cabrera can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge that looks and feels like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone. Dr. Cabrera can assess your individual needs to determine if dental implants are right for you.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual inspection of your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Cabrera performs this vital part of every routine dental exam to help detect oral cancer early, which is key to successful treatment.
