Diagnostics & Prevention

We employ advanced diagnostic equipment such as digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to thoroughly assess your oral health. Additionally, we conduct detailed clinical examinations and screenings for oral cancer to detect any potential problems at an early stage. Regular check-ups and cleanings are essential for preserving a healthy smile, and we highly advise them for maintaining optimal oral health.

Diagnostics & Prevention

Cleaning & Hygiene

Our experienced dental hygienists offer professional cleanings to eliminate plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. We utilize ultrasonic scalers and manual instruments to deeply clean above and below the gum line, then polish to achieve a smooth, gleaming result. Additionally, we provide customized instructions for oral hygiene to assist you in sustaining excellent results until your next appointment.

Cleaning & Hygiene

Digital X-Rays

We utilize digital X-rays to capture precise and detailed images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays emit much lower levels of radiation and enable immediate viewing and effortless sharing with specialists if required. Our usual suggestion is to have bitewing X-rays annually and a full mouth series every 3-5 years for monitoring your oral health.

Digital X-Rays

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride, a natural mineral, works to fortify tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. Our professional fluoride treatments, available as gels, foams, or varnishes, are applied directly onto the teeth. These treatments are swift, painless, and recommended for both children and adults with a high susceptibility to tooth decay.

Fluoride Treatments

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin protective coatings that are put on the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent cavities. These teeth have deep grooves and pits that can catch food and bacteria, making them difficult to clean and more likely to decay. Sealants produce a smooth, easily cleanable surface and can remain effective for several years with proper maintenance.

Dental Sealants

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies can occur at unexpected times, but you can rely on us for help. Whether you're facing a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, we are committed to delivering fast and compassionate care. We provide same-day emergency appointments and strive to alleviate your pain and restore your oral health promptly. If you have a dental emergency after hours, please contact our office for guidance on reaching our on-call dentist.

Emergency Dentistry

Periodontal Care

Periodontal (gum) disease is a severe infection that, if not treated, can result in tooth loss and other health issues. We provide complete periodontal care, which includes deep cleaning, laser therapy, and surgery, to stop the advancement of gum disease and improve your oral health. We will collaborate with you to create a customized plan to maintain the health of your gums and avoid the disease from coming back.

Periodontal Care

Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy

Explore an accurate, less intrusive solution to dental problems. Our utilization of cutting-edge soft-tissue lasers allows for virtually painless treatments for gum disease, cosmetic gum reshaping, and other similar procedures. Laser therapy offers swifter, more comfortable treatment and necessitates less post-treatment recovery time compared to conventional surgical methods. Our dental professionals possess advanced expertise in laser dentistry and will devise a personalized treatment strategy to assist you in obtaining the best outcomes.

Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy

All-Tissue Laser Therapy

In addition to soft-tissue lasers, we provide all-tissue lasers that can be utilized on both soft tissues and hard tissues, such as teeth and bone. All-tissue lasers provide exceptional accuracy and flexibility for a variety of procedures, including cavity preparation, periodontal surgery, and biopsies. Laser dentistry often offers a more comfortable experience by being less painful and more efficient than traditional methods.

All-Tissue Laser Therapy

Sedation Options

We understand that a lot of patients feel anxious or scared about going to the dentist, and our patients often express this worry. In response, we are dedicated to creating a calm and cozy setting for you. Our clinic provides various sedation choices, such as nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation given by a certified anesthesiologist. Our committed team will work with you to determine the most appropriate sedation approach for your individual requirements, making sure that your safety and comfort are the top priorities during your treatment.

FAQs

Have questions? Find answers here.

How often should I visit the dentist for check-ups and cleanings?

We highly recommend that the majority of patients, regardless of their oral health status, schedule routine check-ups and cleanings at our office every six months. However, patients with gum disease or other oral health concerns may require more frequent appointments to ensure proper monitoring and treatment. Our dedicated team of professionals will work closely with you to assess your individual needs and develop a customized schedule that is tailored to your unique oral health requirements.

Is mercury removal safe?

Yes, mercury removal is safe when performed by qualified professionals using proper protocols. We follow strict safety guidelines and use specialized equipment to protect both patients and staff during the removal process.

Is dental X-ray radiation safe?

Modern digital dental X-rays produce minimal radiation and are generally safe for most patients. In fact, the amount of radiation you receive from natural sources in your daily surroundings is higher than that from dental X-rays. Nonetheless, if you are pregnant or have other health issues, please inform us so that we can implement necessary precautions.

How long does the procedure take?

The duration varies depending on the number of fillings being removed. Typically, removing and replacing a single mercury filling takes about 60-90 minutes. We can often treat multiple fillings in a single visit.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

If you encounter a dental emergency like a bad toothache, a fractured tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, please contact our office immediately. We can schedule emergency appointments on the same day and give you guidance on managing your situation until you can visit us. In case your emergency happens outside of our regular hours, please call our office to get directions on how to reach our dentist on call.

Will my insurance cover mercury removal?

Many insurance plans cover mercury filling removal when it's deemed medically necessary. Our team will help you understand your coverage and explore financing options if needed.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Symptoms of gum disease consist of gums that are red, swollen, or tender, bleeding while brushing or flossing, enduring bad breath, receding gums, and teeth that are loose or shifting. Nevertheless, gum disease can develop silently at times, emphasizing the importance of routine dental check-ups. We will assess you for gum disease during each visit and advise on suitable treatment if necessary.

What are mercury fillings replaced with?

We use high-quality, biocompatible composite resins that match your natural tooth color. These modern materials are durable, mercury-free, and aesthetically pleasing.

Patient Testimonials

You say it best.

Thank you, staff of the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry for making my cosmetic dentistry experience outstanding. Before visiting, I was self conscious of my teeth and hardly smiled at new people or in pictures. Now I have a brilliant smile and my self confidence has been boosted! I would recommend the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry to anyone.

Mike S.

As a new patient, I can say the whole team was super friendly! When you walk in the door, you immediately feel welcomed. The whole staff were all nice and helpful. Dr. Pham did a good job to make sure you felt comfortable and that you left without any questions. Definitely recommend!

Justin K.

The quality of PCCD’s work is outstanding! My teeth and my smile have never looked better. I would recommend PCCD for people needing cosmetic dentistry.

Caren C.

Los Altos

Face it, nobody likes going to the dentist. I get that. But I actually look forward to my dentist visits because of the people! Everyone here is so nice and non-judgmental it's been my pleasure to go here for going on 5 years now! They also know what they're doing, which hasn't been my experience in the past. I am consistently confident that they will take care of my mouth when I go here!

Clint D.

In a word.... AWESOME! I lost a front crown the night before calling Dental Arts of Mountain View. The next day, only hours later, I had a new crown! Dr. Oh and his staff, Susie, Haley, Margorie and Beatrice were truly amazing. The lobby and offices are gorgeous and provides a tranquil environment with massage chairs during procedures. Yes, this dental office is second to none. I did extensive research by googling the "best cosmetic and general dentistry." Dental Arts was at the top of the list. A well deserved reputation that I drove an hour and half to confirm.  The cost was unbelievable affordable.  Great value and results that left a very big Smile on my face! Thank you very much Dental Arts you are the BEST!

AJ A.

Mountain View

Phenomenal experience. I look for a dentist who not only has experience but the highest quality of skill and care. It’s not just about quality, though, I also look for someone who has an excellent reputation. Doctors who have the skill-set as well as attention to detail. It is important to me to have  the ability to understand my needs and desired outcome. I really do appreciate Dr. Field being a premier leader in cosmetic dentistry. Impressive.

I can’t wait to see the models of my teeth not to mention, my new smile! I even brought my kid with me, too! Now that is incredible!  Thank you!

Natalina K.

Mountain View

I came to PCCD after doing extensive research online. I had old crowns on my front teeth, old amalgam fillings on my molars that have been worn down. I was also never comfortable with my smile. I’ve always had a dental phobia since childhood and have avoided seeing a dentist… They listened to all my concerns and issues. They presented different options and reviewed them with me. I ended up doing a full mouth reconstruction and I am very happy with the results. It was the best decision I ever made.

Dan A.

Los Altos

Because I am on camera everyday, my smile is so important. PCCD’s dentists and wonderful staff made it beautiful, white and healthy. And the best part – no pain and no anxiety. Going to PCCD was a pleasant experience. Did you ever think you would hear that about going to a dentist? I would recommend PCCD to anyone.

Susan J.

Los Altos

I had my first visit with Dr. Indah at Dental Arts of Mountain View today. It was for a TMJ consult. It was by far and away one of the most thorough exams and consultation I've ever had. Amayra, her assistant, was professional, kind and a very warm person. Dr. Indah was also very professional, informative and kind. I am very happy with this office and my first visit was excellent!

Jenny M.

Mountain View

Excellent and professional care for replacement of two crowns by Dr. Van and his able assistant, Lo. Clear explanations as he proceeded, Dr. Van's manner was warm, reassuring and expert. I am squeamish about dental care, and they made me feel so safe, calm and reassured.  I am happy to recommend the entire office.

Eleanor L.

Mountain View

I had a great experience having work done on my teeth! The staff was super friendly and scheduling was a breeze. Dr. Pham took his time making sure that I was completely comfortable throughout the procedure. The folks in the office were very thoughtful making me feel well taken care of. After the procedure, everything aligned properly the first time which I was impressed by!

Jim R.

Cupertino

Such a lovely place for me and my teeth! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, they always remember me and ask about my family, the whole facility is immaculate, and while they recommend options they never try to push extra services on me. The cost is competitive for Silicon Valley and they accept insurance and flex spending accounts so I waltz right out the door with no hassle! Happy teeth and BEE!

Bonnie E.

Mountain View

Dr.Pham & Dr.Katerina are the best! Very conservative and go into details to explain things to patients.

Valeria

Cupertino

I have never liked the look of my teeth. The spaces between my teeth have always bothered me. I found PCCD while doing research on the internet and went to him to find out what my options were. He gave me new porcelain veneers and closed the spaces between my teeth. Now, I feel more confident about my smile.
