Protect your smile with preventive care

At Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe that the best dental treatment is the one you never need. That’s why our preventive care is designed to stop issues before they start keeping your teeth healthy and your smile shining.

  • Early cavity detection
  • Gentle cleanings
  • Long-term oral health

The preventive dentistry process

Comprehensive exam

Your visit begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite. We’ll take digital X-rays and use advanced tools to catch any signs of decay or disease early.

Gentle professional cleaning

Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup in areas your toothbrush can’t reach, polishing your teeth for a smooth, fresh finish.

Personalized recommendations

We’ll walk you through your oral health status and share recommendations tailored to your needs from fluoride treatments to sealants or updated home care techniques.

Ongoing maintenance

Preventive care is a partnership. We’ll schedule your next cleaning and help you stay on track with checkups every six months—or more often, if needed.

Comprehensive dental exams

Routine exams help us spot early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other issues before they require extensive treatment. These visits typically include a clinical checkup and digital X-rays when needed.

Comprehensive dental exams

Professional dental cleanings

Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Our hygienists provide thorough, gentle cleanings to remove tartar and polish your teeth for a healthy shine.

Professional dental cleanings

Fluoride treatments

Topical fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent cavities—especially helpful for patients prone to decay. We offer fluoride as part of both adult and child preventive visits.

Fluoride treatments

Dental sealants

Sealants are thin coatings applied to the grooves of molars to block out bacteria and food particles. They’re especially effective for children and teens but can benefit adults, too.

Dental sealants

Oral cancer screenings

At every preventive visit, we perform a painless oral cancer screening to check for early signs of abnormalities. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

FAQs

Have questions? Find answers here.

What is preventive dentistry, and why is it important?

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums by stopping problems before they start. It includes regular exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and home care education. Catching issues early saves time, money, and helps preserve your natural teeth for life.

How often should I get a dental cleaning?

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. However, if you’re prone to gum disease or decay, we may recommend more frequent visits to keep your mouth in top shape.

Do preventive visits include X-rays?

Yes, digital X-rays are an essential part of your comprehensive exam. They allow us to detect cavities, bone loss, and other hidden issues that can’t be seen with the naked eye. We use low-radiation, high-definition technology for your safety and comfort.

Can I get preventive care if I have anxiety or special health needs?

Absolutely. We offer multiple sedation options and take the time to understand your needs so you feel calm and in control during every visit. Our team is experienced in working with anxious patients and those with unique medical considerations.

Patient Testimonials

You say it best.

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!

I had 3 crowns replced by Dr. Oh, and I couldn't be happier. I was nervous at first since this was the first time I had a dentist work on my crowns since my previous dentist Dr Mills (who I'd seen for 25 years and trusted completely). No worries at all! Dr Oh made sure I was super comfortable, efficiently took the old crowns off, and crafted perfectly fitted crowns. I had the pleasure of watching him fine tune the shape of the crowns using the 3d app, with extreme care and detail. Fitting the crowns was not only accurate but a lot quicker than I experienced with my previous dentist. Very satisfied with my care. 10/10, no notes!

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.

Yet another lovely visit to PCCD for hygiene this time. My gums are MASSIVELY better since Stephanie clued me into the new Li-Ion powered water pik that you can take and use right in the shower. PCCD is a thoroughly professional operation with state-of-the-art equipment and friendly staff. I had an Invisalign treatment followed by veneers over the last few years - my teeth look fantastic!

Absolutely outstanding kindness, care and technical expertise at this place! I chipped my front tooth on a glass jar last night and immediately started freaking out. I haven't had great experiences with several dentists in the past, but Dr. Oh made me immediately feel at ease -- answering all of my questions and calming me down before the procedure. I can't believe my teeth actually look BETTER after his work! Incredible. Also, the front desk staff were super nice and were willing to squeeze me in last minute. I can't recommend this place enough!

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.

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.

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.

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!

This was my first visit to PCCD, and I was very impressed. The office is spacious and exceptionally clean. I was warmly welcomed by the front desk staff, which made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived.I was also impressed by their advanced technology. They performed a very thorough consultation and examination, including a full set of X-rays, 3D scanner images, and professional photographs. Lizette (I hope I got her name right) and Dr. Oh spent plenty of time with me, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed. Instead, I felt genuinely cared for.I also appreciated their honesty and transparency. Before any procedures began, the front desk clearly explained what would be done that day and the associated costs. At checkout, Rosie carefully reviewed everything with me and sent me a detailed treatment plan with a complete cost breakdown for future care. I truly value clear communication, transparency, and high-quality dental care. Those qualities are exactly what I experienced at PCCD, which is why I decided to continue my dental treatment there, even though they don't accept my insurance.

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.

Anthony B.

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.
