After finally completing Invisalign, we restored the health of the gums with a gum graft to cover a sensitive, receded area that was catching food and had poor-quality tissue. Once the foundation was healthy, we completed the smile with 10 upper and 8 lower veneers. The result? A balanced bite, healthy gums, and a confident smile that the patient can’t stop sharing. From barely smiling to beaming with confidence. Moments like these are why I love what I do. 10 veneers and crowns to refresh this smile 4 veneers to close gaps and reshape teeth Blending 4 veneers into the smile to make this patient shine 6 veneers to brighten this smile and create a stronger and healthier smile 8 veneers for a smile rejuvenation Patient broke her veneer when she was on vacation and wanted to have her tooth fixed fast - so we made it happen with a same-day veneer including custom staining and glazing for an excellent color match The patient wanted to close the dark gaps (black triangles) in her front teeth. We did a combination of two veneers and composite bonding. The patient loved her new smile and check out the perfect color match! 10 crowns and onlays for a healthier, stronger and more balanced smile Single implant to replace broken tooth Single implant to restore this patients ability to chew Two dental implants to replace missing teeth Dental implant to replace a fractured tooth Regaining confidence to chew comfortably with dental implants to replacing 2 missing teeth This transformation shows how an immediate dental implant and custom crown can seamlessly replace a fractured tooth with a perfect shade match. Can you even spot which tooth is the implant? Gum lift to address the gummy smile to create a more confident and harmonious smile This is an amazing post-ortho glow up for our 15 year old patient. After braces, we completed a gum lift and then cosmetic bonding to fill in the gaps between her teeth, as well as a Maryland bridge to replace her missing tooth. This will give her time to grow and can consider veneers and an implant in the future. Old crowns causing constant irritation, hygiene challenges and a smile that felt unbalanced resolved by a surgical gum lift procedure and new crowns for a beautiful, confident smile! A healthier and stronger smile, revitalized with 12 veneers and crowns Resin infiltration for a no-drill, non-invasive correction of white spots The patient wanted everything to match and feel natural again and now she loves her smile! After placing an implant and restoring the two neighboring teeth with crowns, everything blends seamlessly. This Free Gingival Graft (FGG) shows the regeneration of healthy tissue to cover exposed roots. Creating thicker gums helps prevent further gum recession and makes the area much easier for the patient to keep clean. From significant and progressive gum recession to healthy, restored gums with a Free Gingival Graft (FGG) gum graft procedure Using Alloderm for a gingival graft to cover the sensitive and exposed roots. Using donor material means there is no need for taking gum tissue from the roof of the mouth 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns Walnut Creek | Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns & Restorations Walnut Creek Restore Your Tooth in One Visit When you have a damaged or decayed tooth, it’s natural to want to get it repaired as soon as possible. CEREC same-day dental crowns in Walnut Creek allow Dr. David to provide beautiful, natural-looking restorations without the need for awkward physical impressions, off-site fabrication, or lengthy waiting periods. Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns? Natural-Looking Same-Day Crowns Using a Biomimetic Approach No Need for Temporary Crowns Ability to Preserve Tooth Structure Using Modern Bonding The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown The CEREC process is surprisingly quick and convenient. Dr. David will start by taking pictures and digital impressions of your teeth—which is much more pleasant than having to endure dental putty being used to create a physical model. These scans are used to generate a digital model for your future restoration. The CEREC machine can quickly mill your new crown out of dental ceramic. Once Dr. David polishes the crown, it will be permanently bonded to your tooth. View Our Dental Crown Smile Gallery Benefits of CEREC Crowns VS Traditional Crowns --> Compared to their traditional counterparts, CEREC crowns offer numerous benefits: Convenience – You’ll save tons of time by having your crown completed in just one visit rather than needing multiple appointments Accuracy – Since the CEREC machine utilizes a digital scanner for impressions, it’s much more reliable and accurate than traditional impression methods involving dental putty. Quality –CEREC crowns are minimally invasive biomimetic dentistry. Beauty – CEREC crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramics that allow patients to enjoy natural-looking results.           Real Patients, Real Results 10 crowns and onlays for a healthier, stronger and more balanced smile Old crowns causing constant irritation, hygiene challenges and a smile that felt unbalanced resolved by a surgical gum lift procedure and new crowns for a beautiful, confident smile! <   >           More to Explore I Need a Checkup & Cleaning I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth I am Missing One or More Teeth I Want to Enhance My Smile I Have a Dental Emergency View Our Services 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews Dental Implants Walnut Creek | Cost of Dental Implants | Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Dental Implants Walnut Creek The Gold Standard for Replacing Missing Teeth Dental implants in Walnut Creek offer unparalleled oral health benefits in addition to serving as a beautiful tooth replacement, which is why Dr. David has spent a large part of his career mastering them. He’s thrilled to be able to complete the entire treatment from start to finish all within his office.   Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Dental Implants? High-Quality, Beautiful Dental Restorations Entire Dental Implant Procedure Completed In-House From Start to Finish Extensive Training and Experience Specializing in Complex Cases What Are Dental Implants? --> Dental implants are small posts made from biocompatible titanium that are placed below the gumline and directly into the jawbone via oral surgery. Due to their composition, they’re able to naturally fuse with the bone material and serve as replacement tooth roots, where they provide natural stimulation and blood flow to the jawbone. Once this fusion has occurred, a dental restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to provide the patient with replacement teeth that look and function naturally. View Our Dental Implant Smile Gallery The Dental Implant Process Initial Consultation The first step of your dental implant journey is to schedule a consultation with Dr. David. During this visit, he and his team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your teeth and gums and take X-rays to determine how to create a customized dental implant treatment plan. Dental Implant Surgery Dr. David offers in-house dental implant placement! His team can complete every step of the process under one roof, meaning that you won’t have to deal with other teams, offices, or time and distance restraints. After the implant surgery, the posts must fuse with the jawbone. This can take anywhere from three to six months. Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) Once your restoration has been crafted to the exact specifications, we’ll complete the last step of the process by attaching it to your implants. Benefits of Dental Implants Dental implants are so popular and highly recommended by dentists for numerous reasons, many of which have to do with the unique and unparalleled oral health benefits they provide. Not only are they the closest possible replacement in terms of look and feel to your natural teeth, but they also stop jawbone deterioration as well as restore a significant portion of your original bite force! Would you like to learn more about how dental implants may have a positive effect on your life? Continue reading below. Learn More Day-to-Day Benefits Dental implants may improve your daily quality of life in several ways: Ability to eat anything. Dental implants can equip you to eat virtually any food, including tough and chewy items that are off-limits with traditional dentures. A beautiful smile. Dental implants restorations look and feel just like natural teeth, so you will have no reason to feel self-conscious about your smile. Clear speech. Tooth loss may make it difficult to enunciate certain sounds. In contrast, dental implants can help you to speak with clarity and confidence. Easy maintenance. In many ways, taking good care of dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Thorough oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist are both important! Health Benefits Dental implants have the potential to benefit your oral and overall health in multiple ways: A balanced diet. Because dental implants are durable enough to stand up to almost any food, you can enjoy a nutrient-rich diet that supports your overall wellness. A happier state of mind. Implants may give you the confidence to engage in meaningful social interactions with other humans, which can be excellent for your mental health. Jawbone preservation. Dental implants act as prosthetic tooth roots; they stimulate the jawbone and help to prevent the deterioration that normally occurs after tooth extractions. Benefits for natural teeth. Implants can prevent your remaining natural teeth from drifting out of place. Plus, placing dental implants usually does not require that any nearby teeth be modified. Healthier gums. Whereas traditional dentures can rub against the gum tissue and cause discomfort, that is never an issue with dental implants. Long-Term Benefits You can expect to start enjoying benefits from your dental implants soon after you receive them. Those benefits can continue for many years. With proper care, dental implants have the potential to last for many decades. For some patients, they last an entire lifetime! The restorations on top of them can also endure for a long time. Monetary value. Even though dental implants cost more upfront than traditional forms of tooth replacement, their longevity and other benefits make them an excellent monetary value. Over the course of several years, they may end up costing less than a daily trip to your favorite espresso shop! Long-term health benefits. Did you know that tooth loss is associated with a shorter lifespan? Dental implants can support your overall wellness and might even allow you to live longer. Who Dental Implants Can Help If you’re struggling with tooth loss and don’t know what to do, dental implants are a versatile solution. Whether you're missing one tooth or an entire arch, these modern prosthetics can restore your quality of life in many ways. At Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek, we use implants to help patients chew comfortably, speak clearly, and regain confidence. But are you a good candidate? Read on to see how implants could complete your smile, and whether this treatment is right for you. Learn More Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants? Most healthy adults with missing teeth are positive candidates for dental implants, but only a consultation can tell us for sure. At your appointment, we can check for factors like: One or more missing teeth Good oral hygiene No severe gum disease Adequate bone density, or a willingness to consider grafting No smoking or vaping, or commitment to quit during healing Uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes Autoimmune disorders It’s important to discuss these factors so that our team can formulate a treatment plan that works specifically for you. Dental implants are a highly successful treatment, but much of that is gained through a rigorous consultation and pre-screening process. Once we’re sure you’re a candidate, we’ll walk you through each step of your plan to make the process as easy as possible. Missing One Tooth Even one missing tooth can affect your bite and lead to issues like shifting teeth. A dental implant is often the best solution, as it replaces the entire structure of the tooth without affecting others nearby, as is the case with a traditional dental bridge. For a single implant at our Walnut Creek dental office, we carefully place the titanium or zirconia fixture into your jawbone. Then, we connect it to a custom crown that looks and functions just like yo Dental Patient Video Testimonials Walnut Creek | Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Dental Patient Video Testimonials Walnut Creek Heartwarming Patient Stories These are just a small sample of the many success stories we’ve been a part of over the years, and we hope you’ll have your own to tell very soon. 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews Dentist Serving Walnut Creek | Blue Wave Dental Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Areas We Serve Providing Personalized Dental Care to Walnut Creek & Beyond!

Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Dental Checkups & Cleanings? Experienced and Friendly Dentist In-Office Dental Membership Plan Available Caring and Professional Dental Team Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important? Even with great brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can still accumulate in hard-to-reach places. This is why scheduling routine dental visits every six months is so vital to the health and longevity of your teeth and gums. These preventive visits help us catch early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues before they become serious. Finding problems early not only saves you discomfort, but it can also save you time and money on future treatments. So, while it can be tempting to skip scheduling your two visits every year, preventive care is the most cost-effective way to keep your smile safe. What to Expect During a Dental Checkup Your checkup at our Walnut Creek dental office starts with a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and bite. We’ll begin with a visual inspection and then move on to X-rays. These images are taken every year or so to see how your teeth and jaw have changed and to detect hidden issues like cavities, bone loss, or infection. Dr. David will also screen for signs of oral cancer and evaluate your existing restorations to make sure everything is in top shape. After the exam, he’ll then walk you through your results, discuss your treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have. What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning  While checkups focus on identifying dental issues, cleanings are all about removing buildup and keeping your smile bright. One of our skilled hygienists will gently remove debris from around your teeth and gums, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush or floss. After scaling and polishing, we may apply a treatment of fluoride to help your teeth remineralize so they stay strong. No matter what happens at your appointment, you’ll leave with a cleaner, smoother smile and a fresh start for your oral health. If it’s been a while since your last visit, give us a call . Our team will schedule a checkup and cleaning to get your grin back on track. 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews About Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve About Our Walnut Creek Dental Office Peace of Mind at Every Dental Appointment The gentle sound of waves at the beach helps everyone naturally relax, and we strive to create that same feeling when our patients visit Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek.

Continue reading below to learn more about veneers, and then contact our office when you would like to request a consultation. Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Veneers?  Highly Trained & Experienced Cosmetic Dentist Welcoming Environment with Modern Amenities Beautiful Results that Last for Years What Are Dental Veneers? Dental veneers are small, custom-made pieces of porcelain that we attach to the outward-facing surfaces of the teeth. Their purpose is to hide aesthetic imperfections, including: Chips and cracks Discoloration Asymmetrical teeth Small gaps between the teeth Slightly crooked teeth Short teeth And more! The porcelain used to make veneers is extremely high-quality. It even reflects light in a manner that is similar to real tooth enamel, so you can expect your results to look very natural. They are also highly resistant to stains and have the potential to last for decades. The Process of Getting Veneers The process of getting veneers requires at least two dental appointments. After we create your treatment plan, we will prepare your teeth to support veneers. Typically, this involves removing a sliver of enamel from them. We do this so the veneers can adhere well and will not make your smile look bulky or unnatural. You will wear temporary veneers while we coordinate with a dental laboratory to create your permanent ones. Once they are ready, we will double-check to make sure they live up to our strict quality standards before we attach them to your teeth. Benefits of Veneers Some of the top benefits of veneers include: They are made of stain-resistant porcelain. Porcelain is nonporous, so pigments tend to slide right off it. They are durable. You can eat most foods with veneers; they can stand up to all the rigors of normal eating habits. They last a long time. With proper care, veneers may last for 10 – 15 years or longer before they need to be replaced. They are versatile. The size, shape, and color of your veneers will all be customized to complement your unique facial features. Be sure to let us know if you want to achieve a specific look (pictures are always helpful). The number of veneers you receive is also highly dependent on your specific situation. They look natural. Unless you want to brag about your new smile, it is unlikely that onlookers will notice that you have had a bit of cosmetic work done. They are easy to care for. In many ways, taking good care of veneers is just like caring for natural teeth. Understanding the Cost of Veneers The cost of veneers depends on several factors, the biggest of which is the number of veneers that you need to accomplish your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we can provide a personalized price estimate. We will also be happy to explain your payment options. Although dental insurance does not typically cover veneers, you may qualify for low-interest financing that can break up the cost of your treatment into budget-friendly monthly installments. Veneers FAQs Is It Painful to Get Veneers? Getting veneers is relatively painless thanks to modern techniques and local anesthetics. In fact, most patients are surprised at how easy on their teeth the process is. During the procedure, you may feel some pressure from the instruments, but no discomfort. Dr. David will make sure you’re completely comfortable as he prepares your teeth to place your enhancements. Afterward, you may experience some mild sensitivity, but this typically goes away within a few days.  If you’re concerned about discomfort, we’re happy to discuss ways to make your experience as pleasant as possible. Are Veneers Permanent? Veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic dentistry solution, but they aren’t considered “permanent.” With proper care and regular dental visits, veneers can last 20+ years. At our Walnut Creek dental office, we use quality materials and ensure a perfect fit to maximize their longevity. Regular maintenance and forming good oral habits are the key to keeping your veneers in great shape. Do Veneers Feel Like Real Teeth? Yes! Veneers are made with quality porcelain that won’t irritate your mouth and are designed to feel as natural as possible. Once bonded to your teeth, they fit seamlessly and provide a smooth, “real” texture. Our team at Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek will always make sure your enhancements are customized for a perfect fit, so they don’t feel bulky or out of place. We’re confident that after a small adjustment period with your new smile, you’ll forget you even have them on at all! How Are Veneers Different from Dental Crowns? While both veneers and crowns can improve your smile, they serve different purposes. Veneers are thin shells placed on the front of teeth to improve appearance, making them ideal for fixing minor imperfections like discoloration or small chips. Crowns, on the other hand, cover the entire tooth, offering added strength and protection for more severe damage or decay. If you don’t know which one you need, don’t worry. Our team will examine your mouth and discuss your goals so we can give you the care you need to reach them.

If you or a loved one is dealing with dental pain and needs an emergency dentist in Walnut Creek, don’t hesitate to contact our team at once!   Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Emergency Dentistry? Same-Day and After-Hours Dental Appointments Available Patients Can Reach Dr. David Directly Dental Team Focused on Prompt Patient Care   The Most Common Dental Emergencies Sometimes it isn’t obvious if the problem you’re dealing with is an actual dental emergency. To help dispel any confusion you might have, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common dental emergencies that we see here in our Walnut Creek dental office. Toothaches Chipped Tooth Cracked Tooth Sensitivity to Hot & Cold Knocked-Out Tooth Lost Filling or Crown Broken Denture Loose Tooth Gums, Lips or Tongue Injury Jaw Pain or Clenching Something Stuck Between Teeth Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry Emergency dental care doesn’t have a set price. Treatment costs almost entirely depend on the problem and how severe it is. At Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek , we’ll give you a full examination at your emergency consultation to diagnose the issue first. Then we’ll provide a full cost estimate before moving forward with your treatment. We explain all costs up front so that you can focus on your smile instead of your budget. Learn More Every Dental Emergency Is Different No two dental emergencies are the same, so they won’t be identical in cost. The type of injury, location of the tooth, and the procedure needed all change the final price. Common emergency treatments include: Fillings Cosmetic bonding Dental crowns Root canals Extractions Some patients may only need a simple filling or repair. Others may require more extensive treatment to solve their issue. Whatever your case may be, you can rest assured that we only recommend necessary care. After your exam, we’ll discuss all your treatment options and give you a breakdown of costs so you can feel confident in your care. Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies? Most dental insurance plans will cover part of the cost for emergency services, usually including exams, X-rays, and common procedures like fillings or extractions. However, coverage depends entirely on your plan. Our Walnut Creek dental practice is in-network with Delta Dental PPO, but we’re able to work with many popular dental plans. We’ll also help you verify your benefits and even file claims on your behalf. Our mission is to ensure you get the most out of your benefits. Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable At Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek, we understand that money can get tight. That’s why we offer two great options to help patients without insurance manage the cost of emergency care: CareCredit: This financing option works like a credit card for healthcare and lets you break up payments into monthly installments. It can be used for most emergency procedures. In-House Membership Plan: A simple annual plan that includes basic preventive care and discounts on other treatments. It works like insurance, but without the stress of deductibles or other red tape that can stand between you and your care. If you’d like more details, our team can explain both options during your visit and help you choose what works best for your budget. Taking Care of Your Smile Can Save You Money One of the best ways to ensure you spend less on dental emergencies is to take care of your smile. Preventive care like brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings reduces the risk of emergency visits by helping you avoid decay, gum disease, and infection. In contrast, ignoring small problems allows them to become bigger and more expensive. A filling today costs less than a root canal tomorrow. If you want to avoid emergency dentistry, then routine exams and hygiene visits at our Walnut Creek office are a must. This means coming to see us every six months so that we can screen your smile. Your oral health is worth the investment, so don’t hesitate to reach out to our team . We’ll guide you every step of the way. Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies While our Walnut Creek dental team is just a phone call away if you need us, we also know firsthand just how painful and stressful dental emergencies can be. That’s why we do everything we can to help our patients maintain a healthy, happy smile as well! With this in mind, keep reading to learn a few of our recommendations, starting with scheduling a dental visit every six months. Learn More Schedule a Dental Visit Every Six Months Oftentimes, patients assume that they can skip their biannual visits, especially if they don’t have a toothache. The truth is that these routine appointments help us prevent common oral health problems, like cavities, as well as catch any that do arise in the early stages. To put it simply, your dental checkups and cleanings may seem inconsequential, but they play a big role in preventing cavities, cracks, and other serious issues. Important reminder: If you start to experience pain, sensitivity, or any other abnormal dental symptoms between visits, don’t wait – visit our emergency dentist in Walnut Creek so they can determine what the root of the problem is. Brush, Floss, and Rinse with Mouthwash Consistently Of course, taking great care of your smile daily is just as important. If you aren’t already, begin brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently. The products you use and the time you dedicate to your oral hygiene regimen matter as well. So, make sure you’re using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste and that you’re brushing your teeth for a full two minutes each morning and night. Eat Lots of Smile-Friendly Foods Remember, your diet directly impacts your oral health. That’s why we strongly recommend incorporating fresh fruits, seasonal vegetables, healthy fats, and lean proteins into your diet. At the same time, cut back on added sugar and steer clear of extremely crunchy and sticky foods, like hard pretzels and taffy. Sipping on water throughout the day will help prevent stubborn stains and dry mouth, too! Wear a Mouthguard During Sports Wearing a mouthguard during contact sports, like football, is typically required. However, it’s just as important to wear one while riding your bike, lifting weights, or ice skating. After all, one bad fall can leave you with a serious chip or crack, warranting an immediate visit to our office. The good news is that we can have a custom one made for you to ensure it fits comfortably while also protecting your smile from harm. Break Bad Habits While biting your nails can create small cracks in your enamel, using your teeth to remove a bottle cap can lead to a serio Tooth Extractions Walnut Creek | Badly Damaged Tooth | Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Tooth Extractions Walnut Creek Removing Damaged Teeth There are times when it becomes necessary for one or more teeth to be extracted, and if Dr. David has recommended this, you can rest assured that he’s putting your smile’s best interest first. Call us immediately if you think you need a tooth extraction in Walnut Creek.   Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Tooth Extractions? Wisdom Teeth Extractions Done Right Here Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedation Available Comprehensive Dental Implant Treatment When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary? Dr. David and our team will always do everything possible to preserve your natural teeth, but if a tooth is beyond saving, it might need to be extracted because… The tooth has become irreparably damaged or decayed to the point of not being treatable with a filling or other restoration. The tooth is causing crowding in the mouth and needs to be removed prior to orthodontic treatment. Unaddressed gum disease has caused the tissue surrounding the tooth to weaken, loosening it.   More to Explore I Need a Checkup & Cleaning I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth I am Missing One or More Teeth I Want to Enhance My Smile I Have A Dental Emergency View Our Services 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews Meet Our Walnut Creek Dental Team | Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Meet Our Dental Team Walnut Creek Like a Day at the Beach Our dental team in Walnut Creek loves helping patients feel right at home whether they are coming to see us for the first time or have been here for years. Our team's focus is to build relationships with our patients to ensure a warm and friendly experience.   Amanda, Registered Dental Hygienist Amanda’s whole career – which spans more than 25 years – has been spent working in dental offices. She started as a dental assistant, and today she is a Registered Dental Hygienist at Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek. She enjoys getting the chance to build relationships with so many different patients and being able to make positive changes in their lives. Amanda has been with her husband for over 25 years, and they have two sons who both love football. Her hobbies include shopping for antiques, creating homemade gifts, and gardening. “I get to see Dr. David’s work up close, and it is the best that I have seen. I am so honored to work for a dentist that takes such pride in his work.” Liza, Office Manager Liza was born in Pearl City, Hawaii. Growing up, she had an underbite and ended up spending so much time in the dental chair that a career in the field made perfect sense. Liza started out as a Registered Dental Assistant for several years and is now Office Manager for the Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek team. She has been working with Dr. David for more than 8 years. Her focus is to attend to our patients’ needs, both clinically and financially. She married her high school prom date, and they now have two adult sons. They are all big foodies and enjoy trying new restaurants. With the boys grown and out of the house, meals all together is a mom’s dream come true! “Seeing our patients’ smile and boost of self-confidence is the best part of my day!” Joanne, RDA Joanne spent some time working as a dental assistant at her aunt’s practice and eventually earned her license as a Registered Dental Assistant. Her background includes experience in administrative and clinical work as well as maintenance and lab work. She appreciates that her job allows her to address her patients’ dental concerns so that they can feel better about their smiles. When Joanne isn’t at the office, she enjoys singing and playing the guitar. Karina, Dental Assistant Karina became interested in dentistry when she spent some time at her neighbor’s practice watching procedures being performed. She loved seeing the relationships being built with the patients, and this encouraged her to enter the field herself. She considers getting to improve the lives of her patients to be the best part of her job. Karina loves traveling to new places and trying the foods there. Closer to home, she likes spending time at the gym, going to concerts, and watching Grey’s Anatomy . Javier, Registered Dental Hygienist Javier Green is a husband, father of two, and a Navy veteran. He has always had a passion for health care and wanted to be in the dental field since he was about 10 years old. Providing care for patients has brought him great joy, so much so, that he has just completed his first year of dental school. "Working at Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek has not only provided me with a sturdy foundation, but has allowed me to grow into the provider that I am today."   Jaylia, Dental Assistant Originally from Hughson, CA, Jaylia attended the Mount Diablo Adult Education Dental Assistant Program to obtain her certification. In the past, she used to wear braces and did lots of research about the dental field that helped grow her passion for the dental field. Today, her favorite thing about being a dental assistant is helping patients feel better and boosting their confidence. Seeing someone who is feeling pain or self-conscious and leaving comfortable and happy with their smile, and knowing that she had a major part to play in this, is deeply rewarding for her. Outside of dentistry, Jaylia lives with her dad, her younger sister, two dogs, and a pet snake. Her hobbies involve painting, reading, practicing yoga, and hanging out with her slithery friend. She also really likes reading thriller books! Stephanie, Dental Assistant With nearly a decade of experience in the dental field and counting, Stephanie greatly enjoys seeing patients fall in love with their new smiles. Born and raised in Concord, she attended Mount Diablo Adult Education to receive her certifications in dental assisting as well as infection control, X-rays, and radiation safety. The best part of her day is usually when she gets to interact and build relationships with her patients. Away from the office, Stephanie is a proud mother of three incredible children—each of them with a bold personality that keeps life fun and always interesting. In her free time, she enjoys crafting, being outdoors, cycling, going to the beach, and making memories with friends. One fun fact about her is that she can handle the kind of spicy food that can make other people cry! --> More to Explore About Us Meet Dr. David Tour Our Office Smile Gallery Dental Technology Recommended Products --> View Our Services 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews Dental Video Gallery Walnut Creek | Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Videos Video Gallery Follow us on Instagram for more @BlueWaveDental         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Dr. David Nisenboym (@bluewavedental)         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Dr. David Nisenboym (@bluewavedental) 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews Contact Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek | (925) 934-3395 | 130 Petticoat Lane Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Contact Our Walnut Creek Dental Office Contact Us No matter what state your teeth might be in right now, Dr. David can help you get the bright, healthy, and confident smile you desire.

If you’re in the same boat, or you still have a few of your natural teeth left, we have good news: we can give you your complete, healthy, and confident smile back with dentures! If you are interested in learning more about this tooth-replacement solution , keep reading or get in touch with our Walnut Creek dental team to schedule an appointment. Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Dentures? Dentist with 10+ Years of Experience Top-Rated Dental Team in the Area Customized, High-Quality Dental Restorations Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures? Dentures are a tried and true tooth-replacement solution that can help patients who are missing several teeth in a row, multiple teeth throughout their mouth, or all of their teeth. So, if you are struggling with moderate to severe tooth loss, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. David ! The sooner you do, the sooner he can complete a comprehensive oral exam and discuss your treatment options, including partial and full dentures. Types of Dentures If you and Dr. David decide together to move forward with dentures, then the next step is creating your custom treatment plan. In the process, he will review the different types of dentures available, as well as the pros and cons of each. Below, you’ll find a little more information on the topic. Partial Dentures Do you still have a few of your natural teeth? If so, we will likely recommend partial dentures, which essentially act as a puzzle piece. They are secured in place with a discreet clasp, and they are custom-made for each patient to ensure they look and feel natural. Full Dentures Are you missing all of your teeth? Don’t worry – that doesn’t mean you can’t have a strong, healthy, and complete smile again. With full dentures, we can replace every tooth in an arch. The base is gum-colored and held in place with natural suction too, which adds to their lifelike appearance and feel. Implant Dentures Implant dentures are where tried-and-true dentures and cutting-edge dental implants intersect. There are several noteworthy benefits that come with this type of restoration, including that it helps prevent bone loss and can last for several decades with proper care and maintenance. The Benefits of Dentures Here are a few of the many reasons patients love dentures: They effectively restore some of the strength of your bite that was lost They allow you to eat a more varied diet They are custom-made for each patient They can last for 7+ years with proper care They can effortlessly replace a large number of missing teeth They are cost-effective Are you ready to regain your healthy, happy, and beautiful smile?

If you have damaged, missing, or otherwise compromised teeth, you might feel stuck and not know what to do next. Dr. David can provide you with options for natural-looking, durable and reliable dental restorations. Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Restorative Dentistry? Beautiful, Natural-Looking Dental Restorations Experienced and Knowledgeable Dentist and Team CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns Available Dental Crowns Dental crowns are customizable caps that are designed to fit over natural teeth that have been compromised, often due to physical damage or extensive decay. They are also often placed on teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. They’re an excellent solution because they strengthen teeth and give them the chance to avoid extraction, which is always an ideal outcome. Dr. David specializes in minimally invasive dentistry - preserving enamel to prolong the life of a tooth. Our team uses high-quality materials including EMAX, zirconia, and porcelain to create beautiful, strong dental crowns. CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns & Restorations The process for receiving dental crowns hasn’t always been quick and easy—in the past, it involved numerous time-consuming steps, multiple visits, and patients often had to wait weeks before receiving their final, permanent restoration. However, thanks to advancements in dental technology like CEREC, high-quality dental crowns and other restorations can now be made and placed in one appointment! Learn More About CEREC Tooth-Colored Fillings Cavities are a common dental concern, and if they go untreated, can lead to more serious conditions requiring root canal treatment, crowns, or tooth extraction. This is why we recommend early detection and treatment with tooth-colored fillings consisting of biocompatible materials. We also replace mercury-filled silver fillings to help prevent further damage to teeth.

However, in rare instances, they do fail. If you ever suspect that is happening to you, contact our Walnut Creek dental team right away to request an appointment for dental implant salvage. After we examine your mouth and determine the cause of the problem, we will do all we can to renew your restored smile so you can get back to enjoying a strong and healthy set of teeth. Why Do Dental Implants Fail? Peri-implantitis is one of the leading causes of dental implant failure. This condition is a form of gum disease that occurs around the implant, characterized by inflammation and infection of the surrounding tissues. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss and eventual destabilization of the implant. Other potential causes of dental implant failure include: Bruxism (teeth grinding): Excessive force on the implants caused by grinding or clenching can weaken them. Other types of injuries: An accident or fall might damage the jawbone or the implants embedded in it. Systemic conditions : Health issues like uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders might interfere with healing and osseointegration (the process of the implant bonding with the surrounding tissue). Smoking : Smoking reduces blood flow to the gums, impairing healing and increasing the risk of failure. Symptoms of Failed Dental Implants Remember that they can fail at any time, even months or years after the initial placement surgery. By monitoring your mouth for unusual changes, you can catch potential issues early on and take timely action. Here are some of the most common signs and symptoms of a failing implant: Persistent pain or discomfort around the implant site, especially after you have healed from the placement surgery. Swelling or inflammation of the gums near the implant. Unexplained bleeding that does not resolve with proper oral hygiene. Loosening or instability of the implant. Difficulty chewing or biting. Visible bone loss or receding gums around the implant. Any unusual discharge, such as pus, near the implant area. How Dental Implant Salvage Works Request an appointment with us as soon as you believe there is a problem with one of your implants. The earlier you receive care, the more likely it is that the issue can be addressed via conservative means. After we examine your mouth, we can advise you on your next steps. You might need something relatively simple, such as a new restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) or a course of antibiotics. In some cases, though, it becomes necessary for a failing implant to be completely removed. Later, after a healing period and any necessary additional care, you may qualify to receive a new one.

He’s thrilled to be able to complete the entire treatment from start to finish all within his office.   Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Dental Implants? High-Quality, Beautiful Dental Restorations Entire Dental Implant Procedure Completed In-House From Start to Finish Extensive Training and Experience Specializing in Complex Cases What Are Dental Implants? --> Dental implants are small posts made from biocompatible titanium that are placed below the gumline and directly into the jawbone via oral surgery. Due to their composition, they’re able to naturally fuse with the bone material and serve as replacement tooth roots, where they provide natural stimulation and blood flow to the jawbone. Once this fusion has occurred, a dental restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to provide the patient with replacement teeth that look and function naturally. View Our Dental Implant Smile Gallery The Dental Implant Process Initial Consultation The first step of your dental implant journey is to schedule a consultation with Dr. David. During this visit, he and his team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your teeth and gums and take X-rays to determine how to create a customized dental implant treatment plan. Dental Implant Surgery Dr. David offers in-house dental implant placement! His team can complete every step of the process under one roof, meaning that you won’t have to deal with other teams, offices, or time and distance restraints. After the implant surgery, the posts must fuse with the jawbone. This can take anywhere from three to six months. Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) Once your restoration has been crafted to the exact specifications, we’ll complete the last step of the process by attaching it to your implants. Benefits of Dental Implants Dental implants are so popular and highly recommended by dentists for numerous reasons, many of which have to do with the unique and unparalleled oral health benefits they provide. Not only are they the closest possible replacement in terms of look and feel to your natural teeth, but they also stop jawbone deterioration as well as restore a significant portion of your original bite force! Would you like to learn more about how dental implants may have a positive effect on your life? Continue reading below. Learn More Day-to-Day Benefits Dental implants may improve your daily quality of life in several ways: Ability to eat anything. Dental implants can equip you to eat virtually any food, including tough and chewy items that are off-limits with traditional dentures. A beautiful smile. Dental implants restorations look and feel just like natural teeth, so you will have no reason to feel self-conscious about your smile. Clear speech. Tooth loss may make it difficult to enunciate certain sounds. In contrast, dental implants can help you to speak with clarity and confidence. Easy maintenance. In many ways, taking good care of dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Thorough oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist are both important! Health Benefits Dental implants have the potential to benefit your oral and overall health in multiple ways: A balanced diet. Because dental implants are durable enough to stand up to almost any food, you can enjoy a nutrient-rich diet that supports your overall wellness. A happier state of mind. Implants may give you the confidence to engage in meaningful social interactions with other humans, which can be excellent for your mental health. Jawbone preservation. Dental implants act as prosthetic tooth roots; they stimulate the jawbone and help to prevent the deterioration that normally occurs after tooth extractions. Benefits for natural teeth. Implants can prevent your remaining natural teeth from drifting out of place. Plus, placing dental implants usually does not require that any nearby teeth be modified. Healthier gums. Whereas traditional dentures can rub against the gum tissue and cause discomfort, that is never an issue with dental implants. Long-Term Benefits You can expect to start enjoying benefits from your dental implants soon after you receive them. Those benefits can continue for many years. With proper care, dental implants have the potential to last for many decades. For some patients, they last an entire lifetime! The restorations on top of them can also endure for a long time. Monetary value. Even though dental implants cost more upfront than traditional forms of tooth replacement, their longevity and other benefits make them an excellent monetary value. Over the course of several years, they may end up costing less than a daily trip to your favorite espresso shop! Long-term health benefits. Did you know that tooth loss is associated with a shorter lifespan? Dental implants can support your overall wellness and might even allow you to live longer. Who Dental Implants Can Help If you’re struggling with tooth loss and don’t know what to do, dental implants are a versatile solution. Whether you're missing one tooth or an entire arch, these modern prosthetics can restore your quality of life in many ways. At Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek, we use implants to help patients chew comfortably, speak clearly, and regain confidence. But are you a good candidate? Read on to see how implants could complete your smile, and whether this treatment is right for you. Learn More Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants? Most healthy adults with missing teeth are positive candidates for dental implants, but only a consultation can tell us for sure. At your appointment, we can check for factors like: One or more missing teeth Good oral hygiene No severe gum disease Adequate bone density, or a willingness to consider grafting No smoking or vaping, or commitment to quit during healing Uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes Autoimmune disorders It’s important to discuss these factors so that our team can formulate a treatment plan that works specifically for you. Dental implants are a highly successful treatment, but much of that is gained through a rigorous consultation and pre-screening process. Once we’re sure you’re a candidate, we’ll walk you through each step of your plan to make the process as easy as possible. Missing One Tooth Even one missing tooth can affect your bite and lead to issues like shifting teeth. A dental implant is often the best solution, as it replaces the entire structure of the tooth without affecting others nearby, as is the case with a traditional dental bridge. For a single implant at our Walnut Creek dental office, we carefully place the titanium or zirconia fixture into your jawbone. Then, we connect it to a custom crown that looks and functions just like yo Preventive Dentistry Walnut Creek | Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Preventive Dentistry Walnut Creek Keeping Your Oral Health on Track We understand that it’s not always easy to maintain a healthy smile, but fortunately, you don’t have to go at it alone!

Appointments generally consist of a detailed examination of your mouth, X-ray imaging, an oral cancer screening, and of course, a thorough cleaning from our hygienist team. Learn More About Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment Gum disease is one of the most prevalent oral health conditions, and it often manifests with symptoms including swollen, tender, and reddened gum tissue that can even begin to recede. If you notice any of these symptoms, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact our team. Dr. David is also trained in the renowned Pat Allen Minimally Invasive Soft Tissue Grafting technique for more advanced cases. Learn More About Gum Disease Treatment Night Guards for Bruxism Bruxism is a condition that’s characterized by nighttime (and often daytime) teeth grinding and jaw clenching, and though it might not seem like a big deal and often goes unnoticed, it can have damaging effects on your teeth and jaw. This includes worn enamel, chipped or cracked teeth, or even disorders with the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). To protect your smile, we can provide you with a customized night guard that cushions your mouth and will prevent the strain and pressure caused by this condition. Night guards are also used to protect dental work such as implants, veneers and crowns by separating the teeth and alleviating grinding and clenching forces that teeth may exert on each other.  TMJ Treatment If you’re suffering from issues affecting your temporomandibular joints, also known as the TMJ, then you’re at potential risk for numerous problems that’ll affect your quality of life. These joints connect your jaw to the rest of your skull and are intricate in nature, and if they don’t function properly, jaw pain and soreness as well as bruxism headline a long list of potential complications. Dr. David and his team can help diagnose TMJ issues and prescribe treatments such as occlusal splints if needed.

Previously these appliances would require us to work with an outside lab, adding time and expense. Now, we can better control the quality of what we produce and do it in a fraction of the time. --> We’ve brought the future of dentistry to our office with the SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer. This cutting-edge technology allows us to create custom dental solutions with incredible speed and "perfect-fit" precision. By printing right here in our office, we can offer: Smile Test Drives (Trial Smiles): Wear a physical preview of your new smile before any work begins. Custom Night Guards: Protect your teeth with a fit that feels natural. 3D-Printed Veneers & Inlays: Durable, high-detail restorations in a fraction of the time. Surgical Guides: High-precision tools that make your procedures safer and faster. Digital Impressions We often need to take an impression of a patient’s teeth before doing a variety of procedures, and instead of having them bite into a mold filled with putty, we can take a more sophisticated approach. Instead, we scan the mouth using a small instrument, and this generates a highly detailed model of the teeth in a matter of minutes. CT/Cone Beam Scanner Rather than offering a closer look at a few teeth, our CT/cone beam scanner captures multiple images at various angles to generate a 3D model that includes both rows of teeth, your jaws, and more. We can interact with this image to show you everything regarding your dental health, plus it allows us to easily plan complex procedures. Soft Tissue Laser We use our soft tissue laser to perform gingivectomy procedures for patients with gum disease, and it also allows us to provide comfortable and precise frenectomies to correct lip and tongue ties. Intraoral Camera Dr. David says that “seeing is believing” when it comes to explaining your oral health. Using an intraoral camera, he’ll take close-up images of your teeth and gums that he’ll go over with you on a nearby monitor. You’ll see everything he does, which will make his treatment suggestions much easier to understand.

Why Choose Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek for Gum Disease Treatment? Soft Tissue Laser for Thorough & Gentle Treatment Highly Skilled & Caring Dental Team Multiple Payment Options for Your Convenience What Is Gum Disease? Gum disease is an infection of the soft tissue that surrounds the base of the teeth. It occurs when harmful bacteria sneak beneath the gumline and multiply, leading to inflammation and a range of other signs and symptoms. Gum disease has two main stages: Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is relatively mild and does not cause permanent harm. If gingivitis goes untreated, it may progress to periodontitis, which can permanently damage the gums. It is also a leading cause of tooth loss. Symptoms of Gum Disease If you have gingivitis, you might notice: Red, swollen, and tender gums Gums that bleed easily when you brush and floss Chronic bad breath that does not respond to things like breath mints and chewing gum Periodontitis can cause the same symptoms as gingivitis. Some additional issues that are associated with it include: Gum recession Loose teeth Tooth loss Sensitive teeth (due to exposed tooth roots) Changes in your bite Changes in the fit of restorations, such as partial dentures How Do We Treat Gum Disease? When you visit us for your consultation, we will examine your mouth and learn about the details of your case. After we gather adequate information, we can advise you on your next steps. There are a few different ways to treat gum disease. Some patients can reverse their condition via thorough at-home oral hygiene. Others might need one of the following professional therapies: Scaling & Root Planing Scaling and root planing is basically a deep cleaning of the mouth. We remove plaque and bacteria from above and below the gumline, and then we smooth out the roots of the teeth so bacteria cannot easily cling to them. After scaling and root planing, your gums should be able to firmly reattach to your teeth. Laser Periodontal Treatment Laser periodontal treatment is a powerful complement for scaling and root planing. It uses a highly focused beam of light to kill harmful bacteria. It can also remove diseased tissue. Because a soft tissue laser is so precise and gentle, it contributes toward a comfortable, minimally invasive treatment experience. Gum Disease Treatment FAQs How common is gum disease? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that nearly 4 out of 10 adults 30 years or older are living with some form of gum disease. As one of the most common oral health problems in the United States, periodontitis becomes more frequent with age. Reports indicate that 60% of adults 5 years of age and older have a more advanced form of gum disease. While men are more likely to have this condition, the CDC estimates that 1 in 3 women develop gum disease, and one out of every two men has it. Many of the most common risk factors for gum disease are also considered health concerns, including diabetes, poor oral hygiene, smoking, and poor nutrition. Does gum disease ever go away? If Dr. David catches gingivitis (the initial stage of gum disease) early enough, it is possible to reverse it. This is one reason regular dental checkups and cleanings are important. If gum disease is left to advance, it can turn into periodontitis, which is considered “untreatable.” This causes bone and gum loss as well as loose teeth. The oral structure cannot regenerate, so gum disease treatment in Walnut Creek must focus on eliminating and managing harmful bacteria in the mouth. If you are prone to developing gum disease, you may require more frequent visits to our dentist’s office. How can I manage gum disease while pregnant? You will need to work with your dentist during your pregnancy. This allows our team to personalize management tips to help you maintain better oral health. We will schedule deep cleanings or additional checkups as needed to minimize your risk of developing gum disease. You will also need to practice good oral hygiene at home, including brushing twice daily, flossing at least once per day, and rinsing with an alcohol-free mouthwash. If your symptoms worsen during pregnancy, contact our office so that our dentist can prescribe a special mouthwash or antibiotics to ensure optimal protection. Is mouthwash good for gum disease? Mouthwash can help control the bacteria and inflammation that cause gum disease in Walnut Creek. It should not, however, be used as a replacement for regular brushing and flossing. If the mouthwash contains alcohol, it can dry out your mouth and worsen gum disease. It is always best to talk to your dentist about incorporating mouthwash into your gum disease-prevention routine. 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3395 --> --> Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm © Blue Wave Dental | Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Site designed and maintained by TNT Dental Request an Appointment Call Us View Map Download Forms Follow Us Read Reviews Dr. David Nisenboym | Trusted Dentist in Walnut Creek Skip to Main Content (925) 934-3395 130 Petticoat Lane, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Book an Appointment Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet Dr. David Meet the Team Tour Our Office Dental Technology Blog Video Gallery Our Services I am Missing One or More Teeth Dentures I Want to Enhance My Smile Veneers Smile Makeover Dental Bonding I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Dental Checkups & Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment I Have a Dental Emergency Root Canal Treatment Tooth Extractions Dental Implants Dental Implant Pricing Dental Implant Failure & Salvage For Patients Your First Visit Insurance & Financing Membership Plan Products Reviews Written Reviews Video Testimonials Smile Gallery Contact Office Info Request an Appointment Areas We Serve Your Trusted Walnut Creek Dentist Get to Know Dr. David Lorem ipsum dolor sit, amet consectetur adipisicing elit.

When he was 17 years old, Dr. David found himself observing a family friend performing an extraction, and unlike most people, he thought it was the coolest thing! Dentistry is certainly not just about extractions, of course. Later, witnessing the transformational impact of modern dentistry when his grandma got implants to support her denture, he realized the profound ability of dentistry to change lives by creating confident smiles and restoring the ability to chew and function normally. This experience solidified his determination to pursue a career in dentistry. Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?

He then attained his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from San Francisco’ s University of the Pacific Dental School in 2013. After dental school he decided to further his education by completing a dental residency on the Pascua Yaqui reservation in Arizona. While serving the dental needs of the tribe, he gained valuable clinical experience in many specialty procedures, including dental implant placement, sedation, surgical extraction, guided bone regeneration, root canal treatment, and gum surgery.
