GENERAL DENTISTRY

At El Dorado Hills Dental Wellness, we are proud to offer comprehensive general dentistry services to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Rika Prodhan-Ashraf, is committed to providing personalized care and utilizing the latest techniques and technologies to ensure your dental needs are met with excellence.

Our general dentistry services encompass a wide range of treatments and preventive measures aimed at keeping your teeth and gums healthy and beautiful. Whether you need routine check-ups, preventive care, or treatment for specific dental conditions, we are here to provide you with the highest level of care and support.

Here are some key areas of general dentistry that we specialize in:

  1. Dental Examinations and Cleanings: Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During these visits, our team will thoroughly examine your oral cavity, checking for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other oral health issues. Professional dental cleanings will also be performed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, leaving your teeth feeling refreshed and polished.

  2. Tooth-Colored Fillings: If you have a cavity, we offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These composite fillings not only restore the function of the affected tooth but also provide a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution.

  3. Root Canal Therapy: When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal therapy can save the tooth from extraction. Our skilled team will carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the root canal, and seal it to prevent further infection. This treatment helps alleviate pain and preserves your natural tooth structure.

  4. Gum Disease Treatment: We provide both non-surgical and surgical gum disease treatments to address gingivitis and periodontitis. Our team will evaluate the health of your gums and recommend the most appropriate treatment option to restore your gum health and prevent further progression of the disease.

  5. Dental Crowns and Bridges: Our custom-made dental crowns and bridges are designed to restore the form and function of damaged or missing teeth. These durable restorations can improve the appearance of your smile, enhance your bite, and help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth.

  6. Emergency Dental Care: Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and require immediate attention. Our team is here to provide prompt and compassionate care for dental emergencies such as toothaches, knocked-out teeth, chipped or broken teeth, and more.

At El Dorado Hills Dental Wellness, we prioritize your comfort, safety, and overall well-being. We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel at ease throughout your dental visits. Our team takes the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and develop personalized treatment plans that address your unique needs and goals.

We are dedicated to empowering you with the knowledge and tools to maintain optimal oral health. During your appointments, we will provide education on proper oral hygiene practices, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle habits that promote a healthy smile.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DENTISTRY

The key to a beautiful smile is a healthy smile. Many different problems can compromise your oral health. Our team offers an array of services to keep your smile at its best, starting with routine cleanings.

ROUTINE DENTAL CARE

Every patient is different, with different needs, but something we recommend for everyone is routine cleanings at least every 6 months. This allows us to keep an eye on any health issues that may arise and treat issues before they become more serious. Catching health concerns early can save you the money and complications that can come with putting off health concerns. The quicker you can catch and treat a minor problem, the less likely you are to need more costly and invasive treatments like implants or bridges.


For your cleaning, our staff will spend about 45 minutes cleaning, polishing, and removing tartar build up from the surface of your teeth. However, our staff is not just cleaning your teeth. Our doctor and staff will also do a full exam, checking for issues that you may not even be able to see. This includes checking for signs of tooth decay, gingivitis, and even oral cancer. During your cleaning, our staff will also apply a fluoride treatment to prevent future cavities
