Dental Examination
If cavities have been discovered during a dental examination, they will need to be immediately treated. This is especially important for cases where the cavity has damaged the tooth enamel and underlying dentin. If cavities are in their early stages and have not affected the dentin, they can be healed or re-mineralized with fluoride.
X-rays
Dental x-rays or check-ups or bitewing x-rays, are additional useful options for locating cavities between teeth or beneath the gum-line. These cavities can be almost impossible to detect visually. In some cases, a special disclosing solution is required to diagnose any suspicious areas on the tooth.

Teeth Cleaning
Most dental offices may throw a number of unfamiliar and intimidating terms at you. After a teeth cleaning or examination, jargon you may hear can include 3MOD, 5DO, 13MFD, and more. This doesnâ€™t mean your dentist or hygienist is reading off an algebra textbook, but are using shortened abbreviations for dental terms.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
An office procedure known as sealants can reduce cavities on the occlusal, buccal, and lingual surfaces of the back teeth. This is white resin material that protects the pits and fissures of the tooth, where food particles can be trapped. They are frequently used on childrenâ€™s teeth to prevent cavities on growing molars.

Fillings
Amalgam fillings have traditional been used for tooth restoration. They are durable and inexpensive, but are considered aesthetically unpleasant and can give teeth a gray appearance. Composite, resin, or white fillings have been prevalent for over two decades. Composite fillings are created form an organic polymer known as bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (BIS-GMA), and inorganic particles such as borosilicate glass, quartz, and lithium aluminum silicate.
Resin Composite
Aesthetic appeal: Non-metal fillings, especially composite resin fillings, match the color of your teeth and therefore looks natural and appealing.
Veneers
2. Dental veneers: Dental veneers are custom-made laminates that go over your natural teeth. They look extremely realistic and can solve numerous cosmetic problems such as crooked teeth, cracked or damaged enamel and noticeable gaps between the two teeth. The veneer is applied to the front of each tooth using a dental adhesive.
Crowns
Â® method saves time and gives better results by taking advantage of the advanced technology to restore the patientâ€™s teeth with a crown, inlay, or onlay. CEREC
Bridges
Porcelain and other tooth-colored resins have become popular when it comes to restoring teeth, metal is still often the material of choice. However, metal fillings and other dental work can be unsafe for your smile and your general health. Whereas, metal-free crowns and bridges will lead to safer smiles, better appearance, and fewer chances of developing an allergy.
Dental Bonding
4. Composite bonding: Composite bonding refers to the repair of decayed, damaged, or discoloured teeth using material that resembles tooth enamel color. Bonding is an inexpensive cosmetic dentistry procedure to resolve tooth decay, chipped or cracked teeth, and worn-down edges.

Root Canal Treatment
Patients may experience a surprise when they become aware of a few cavities that have occurred without symptoms. It is more important to treat a small cavity than wait until severe symptoms develop. Once symptoms occur, the cavity may already spread across the dental pulp, which may require a root canal procedure or extraction to resolve.
Apicoectomy
Apicoectomy (surgical endodontics): Usually, a root canal is enough to protect an inflamed or infected tooth from removal. Though, at times it may not be sufficient to heal the tooth and the tissues around that site. In such cases, a surgical procedure known as apicoectomy is needed to save the tooth.

Deep Cleaning
Periodontal disease requires multiple rounds of therapy to recover. Scaling and root planing help treating the periodontal disease and would be required in all areas that are affected by the condition. This involves numbing and deep cleaning underneath the gumline to get rid of the infection. In some cases, when the pocket depth is too deep for our instruments to reach, surgery is recommended.

Dentures
Â® hybrid dentures do not cover the roof of the mouth, allowing the wearer to fully enjoy eating and drinking. Messy creams and adhesives are not needed to secure hybrid dentures in place. Gum irritation is eliminated, the bite strength is increased, allowing for an increased option of foods. Hybrid dentures in Chula Vista promote the quality of life and boost confidence as well.

Dental Implants
Dental implant restoration is a procedure of replacing missing teeth. Anyone with missing teeth can suffer from a lack of self-confidence. The missing teeth may even affect the way a person speaks. General health may also suffer as eating may be difficult.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Dr. Hammond: Dr. Hammond graduated in 1976 from the University of Maryland, School of Dentistry, and was selected for the Gorgas Prosthodontic Honor Society. After the completion of dental school, Dr. Hammond was selected to serve as a General Practice Resident at Naval Hospital, San Diego. He also served as the head of oral surgery at the Naval Hospital Guantanomo Bay, Cuba. Dr. Hammond is inclined towards dental implants and bone graft preparation for dental implants. He enjoys orthognathic surgery, jaw reconstruction, and regular dental oral surgery such as wisdom teeth and dental extractions. He is a member of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, California Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the American Dental Association, and the California Dental Association.
Jaw Surgery
Tooth Extractions
There is no doubt that a tooth extraction is an extensive surgical procedure, which merits post-operative care to make sure infections or complications are avoided. One thing that will happen immediately after surgery is the oral specialist will place a gauze pad over the extraction site. This gauze will not be removed for at least 45 minutes.
Bone Grafting
Socket preservation can utilize a collagen plug as a hole filler and a bone grafting procedure to preserve your jaw in the tooth extraction area. This graft can be made of synthetic material, such as bone from other animals or human bone. After your dentist puts the bone graft in your socket, they usually cover it up with a layer of collagen, and then they stitch the tissues near the gum.

Orthodontics
Dr. Christine Buenaventura: Dr. Buenaventura is a graduate of Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Dr. Buenaventura has a dual degree in general dentistry and has undergone post-graduate studies in Orthodontics from the Philippines. Christine has had a chequered career since 2000, having had her dental practice. She is loved by her patients and is regarded for her calmness and comprehensive approach to dental care by all her patients. Her extensive knowledge and experience in the field help people to get the best and attractive smiles with the safest treatment options.
Invisalign Orthodontics
You can get no-interest and low-interest financing with CareCreditÂ® and Lending Point for InvisalignÂ®. We will help you with the application as needed. Payment plans may also be arranged.
Braces
A perfect smile and straight teeth can have a positive impact on an individualâ€™s confidence and well-being. Invisalign is a thin clear aligner used in orthodontic treatment. It involves a computer generated simulation to correctly align the teeth. With Invisalign treatment at Bonita Family Dental, patients can receive orthodontic care with clear aligning trays that will improve the appearance of teeth without the placement of metal braces.

Teeth Whitening
3. Teeth whitening: Over the years, teeth become stained and frayed from food, drinks, medication, and smoking. The process of teeth whitening removes plaque, tartar, and other debris from each tooth's surface, restoring its natural appearance. Teeth can be whitened with a bleaching agent to achieve a lighter shade than the original colour.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental work that enhances the appearance of teeth, gums, or bite. It primarily focuses on improvement in dental aesthetics such as color, shape, size, position, alignment, and overall smile.
General Dentistry
Dr. Sandhya Hegde (President/CEO): Dr Hegde has dual degrees in dentistry, from India and the US. She has been practicing in San Diego after graduating from acclaimed Loma Linda University in the year 2000. She also has been awarded a prestigious fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2009 and is committed to perpetual learning.
