When I needed a new dentist who took my insurance—one I trusted enough for both routine cleanings and a crown—I searched my town and the surrounding area and was disheartened by what I found. Hardly anyone had good reviews. (I think it's because people write reviews when they're unhappy and stay quiet when they're not.) I want to be the exception, because Dr. Seung Lee at Novato Smiles Dentistry deserves to be found. I came in a little nervous, as most people are with a new dentist. Dr. Lee immediately put me at ease. He's a great listener, gentle, and takes the time to explain your options without making you feel rushed. He was on time, efficient, and treated me like a person. Getting a crown is not something I was willing to do with just anyone, and after this visit, I knew I'd found the right dentist. When I mentioned my Invisalign retainer, he made sure it would work with both the temporary and permanent crown—no extra charge, no big deal made of it. That kind of quiet thoughtfulness says a lot about someone. If you're searching for a dentist in the area and feeling discouraged, I hope this helps. Dr. Lee is everything you'd want: knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely invested in your care. 5.0 Novato Smiles offers excellent service. Their staff is always welcoming and patient. The payment plan is helpful! 5.0 Victoria is great. Dr. Lee is an exceptional dentist. Frankly all the people who work there are very friendly, accommodating, and professional. The technology they use is "state of the art".     Payment Options   Insurance We happily accept a variety of dental insurance plans and file the claim on your behalf.

You’ll also need: To arrive 15 minutes before your appointment Dental and medical insurance card (if applicable) Dental and medical history information Current prescribed medications   Your OralFitnessCheck® Explained The OralFitnessCheck helps detect early signs of gum disease and other health risks by measuring an enzyme called aMMP-8. Elevated levels can signal bacterial buildup or inflammation, which may be linked to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. How it works: Rinse for 30 seconds. Spit into a cup. See your results in minutes. Your dental care provider will explain what the results mean for your overall health. Important: For the most accurate results, avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for at least 30 minutes before your appointment.   Understand Scaling and Root Planing During a regular cleaning, the focus is on removing plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. However, if you have signs of gum disease, a regular cleaning may not be sufficient to address the underlying problem. That’s where scaling and root planing come in. These procedures involve carefully removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. This thorough cleaning helps to eliminate infection and inflammation, which allows your gums to heal and your oral health to improve. Scaling and root planing may be recommended if you have mild to moderate gum disease or if you’re at risk of developing gum disease due to factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes or genetic predisposition.     Call Today We’re Here for You Contact us today and let us support you every step of the way on your journey to healthier, happier smile and overall well-being.   CALL 415-897-8020   CONTACT Novato Smiles Dentistry 948 Diablo Ave, Novato, CA 94947 415-897-8020 Book an Appointment Message Us INSURANCE & PAYMENT Insurance Discount Plan Financing Pay Your Bill ABOUT US Our Team Careers FAQs PATIENT PORTAL Log In LIKE US ON FACEBOOK FIND US ON GOOGLE Privacy Policy Notice of Privacy Practices Terms of Use Notice of Non-Discrimination CA Privacy Notice CO Privacy Notice WA Privacy Notice Accessibility Sitemap © Copyright 2006 - • Novato Smiles Dentistry Notice of Privacy Practices charity: water.

They carry forty pounds of water on their backs from the nearest source, walking before sunrise, sleeping beside wells, making trip after trip. Hours disappear to meet a basic, solvable need. That stolen time costs women and girls vital opportunities to study, earn an income, or invest in their futures, all for water teeming with preventable diseases. But clean water changes everything. 100% of your donation to Novato Smiles Dentistry 296 's campaign goes directly to clean water projects in Ethiopia, so women and girls can reclaim their time. Girls can attend school full-time. Women can support their families, start businesses, lead, or even just be.

What’s the main difference? Onlays cover the tooth’s cusps, while inlays fill the space between them. CALL 415-897-8020   What is an Inlay and Onlay? Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth. They are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain or composite resin, and are designed to fit precisely into the prepared cavity of a tooth. Inlays are used to restore the chewing surface of a tooth, while onlays are employed to cover a larger portion of the tooth. This procedure is ideal for individuals with moderate to severe tooth decay or damage that cannot be effectively addressed with a traditional filling but doesn’t require a full dental crown. They are particularly suitable for patients who seek a conservative approach to tooth restoration.   4 Benefits of Inlays and Onlays   Minimally Invasive Unlike traditional dental crowns, inlays and onlays allow for a minimally invasive approach. They preserve more of your natural tooth structure while providing strength and support. Durable and Long-Lasting Inlays and onlays are crafted from strong and durable materials, making them resistant to wear and fracture. With proper care, they can last up to 30 years. Custom Fit Each inlay and onlay is custom-made to fit precisely into the prepared cavity of your tooth. This helps to protect the tooth from further decay and damage. Natural Look Inlays and onlays are crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.   CALL 415-897-8020     Inlays and onlays have durable longevity, often lasting between 10 to 30 years.     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager   Understanding Dental Inlays   ▶     Why Choose Novato Smiles Dentistry For Inlays Or Onlays In Novato?

The procedure traditionally required two appointments, but with advancements in CAD/CAM technology, it can now often be completed in a single visit.

We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. How long will my dental inlay or onlay last? With proper care, your dental inlay or onlay can last up to 15 years or more.

Payment Processing We will tell you upfront what your insurance plan will pay for and offer options for taking care of any remaining out-of-pocket balance.   CALL 415-897-8020     How PPO Dental Plans Work A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) is the most common form of dental insurance, offering members a network of participating dentists to choose from. Dentists in this network agree to lower fee schedules, resulting in greater cost savings for patients. PPO plans cover a percentage of treatment costs, typically paying 50% for major treatments like crowns and bridges, 80% for basic care like fillings, and up to 100% for preventative care such as exams and cleanings. These plans often have annual maximums ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 and assist with insurance billing.   Understanding your HMO Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), also known as capitated or prepaid insurance, is a type of dental insurance plan that requires patients to choose a primary care dentist from a network of providers. This primary care dentist coordinates all aspects of the patient’s dental care and referrals to specialists within the HMO network. HMO plans typically have lower premiums and fixed copayments for covered services, but patients have limited choices in selecting dentists outside the network. Additionally, HMO plans may require patients to obtain pre-authorization for certain treatments, and coverage for out-of-network care is usually not provided except in emergencies.   Dental Insurance FAQs Got questions? We have answers! Check out our FAQ section to learn everything you need to know about navigating dental insurance coverage.   SEE All FAQS   What is optional treatment? Treatment that is either not listed on your fee schedule or more than the minimum to restore the tooth back to its original function. What's a covered benefit? Treatment that is recommended by a dentist, is listed on the fee schedule, and accepted under the terms of your group's plan. What's the difference between indemnity, PPO, HMO, & discount insurance plans? Indemnity or Traditional Insurance reimburses members or dentists at the dentist's UCR (Usual, Customary & Reasonable fee). This allows the subscriber to go to any dental office without being limited to a panel.     Call Today We’re Here for You Let’s work together to optimize your dental care while making the most of your insurance coverage.

Dental sealants are a preventive dental treatment that can help protect your teeth from decay and cavities. CALL 415-897-8020   What Are Dental Sealants? Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. These surfaces often have deep grooves and pits where bacteria and food particles can accumulate, making them more susceptible to decay. Sealants act as a barrier to help prevent bacteria and acids from reaching the tooth enamel and causing cavities.   4 Benefits of Dental Sealants   Prevent Tooth Decay Dental sealants create a protective barrier on the tooth’s surface, preventing bacteria and food particles from causing decay. Long-Lasting Protection Once applied, dental sealants can provide long-lasting protection against cavities for several years with proper care and maintenance. Painless Procedure Applying dental sealants is a quick and non-invasive procedure that can be done in a single visit. Cost Effective Sealants are a cost-effective way to prevent dental decay compared to treating cavities with fillings or other restorative treatments.   CALL 415-897-8020     Dental sealants can reduce the risk of tooth decay in permanent molars by up to 80% in the first two years after application.     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager     What to Expect When you come in for a dental sealant procedure, our skilled dental team will first thoroughly clean and dry the teeth to be sealed.

CALL 415-897-8020   Who Needs a Mouth Guard? Mouth guards, also known as night guards, provide essential protection for those involved in activities prone to dental or facial injuries. Whether you’re hitting the field for football, shooting hoops in basketball, or skating on the ice in hockey, a mouth guard protects you against impact injuries. But it’s not just for athletes. If you grind or clench your teeth, struggle with TMJ disorders, or deal with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom-made mouth guard can offer you relief and added protection.   4 Reasons for a Mouth Guard   Protection During Contact Sports Mouth guards shield teeth and jaws from impact injuries, reducing the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. Prevent Teeth Grinding For individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep (bruxism), a custom-made mouth guard provides cushioning and protection. Relief for TMJ Disorder Customized mouth guards can help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by stabilizing the jaw joint. Sleep Apnea Treatment For individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a mouth guard can help keep the airway open by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue during sleep.   CALL 415-897-8020     Athletes wearing mouth guards are 82% to 93% less likely to experience traumatic dental injury.     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager     The Different Types of Mouth Guards Mouth guards come in three main types, each offering varying levels of fit and protection. Stock mouth guards are pre-formed and readily available at sporting goods stores, but they often provide a poor fit and minimal protection. Boil-and-bite mouth guards are softened in boiling water and then molded to fit the wearer’s teeth. Custom-made mouth guards are recommended for the highest level of fit and protection.   GET STARTED TODAY     Why Choose Novato Smiles Dentistry for Mouth Guards in Novato?

Our experienced team utilizes advanced, proven technologies and techniques to deliver highest quality of care for a healthier, happier smile.

Trust us for high-quality mouth guards that deliver lasting results.     Mouth Guards FAQs If you have any questions about mouth guards, we’ve got answers.   SEE All FAQS   How much does a mouth guard cost at Novato Smiles Dentistry? The cost of a mouth guard depends on the type and level of customization required. At Novato Smiles Dentistry, we offer affordable prices for high-quality, personalized mouth guards. Can I use a boil-and-bite mouth guard from a sports store? Although boil-and-bite mouth guards are readily available, they do not offer the same level of protection and customization as professionally fitted mouth guards. We recommend using a custom mouth guard from our dental office for maximum protection and comfort. How often should I replace my mouth guard? Mouth guards can wear out or get damaged over time. It's important to replace them every one to two years, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage. Can children use mouth guards? Yes, children can use mouth guards for protection during sports activities. We offer customized mouth guards for children that are designed to fit their smaller mouths. How long does it take to get a mouth guard? It takes approximately one to two weeks to create a custom mouth guard. However, we offer emergency services for dental injuries that require immediate attention.         Call to Schedule Your Smile is Our Priority Schedule an appointment with us today to discover the difference of advanced, proven technologies, a full suite of services, and exceptional quality in dental care – all tailored to give you a healthier, happier smile.   CALL 415-897-8020 SCHEDULE TODAY   CONTACT Novato Smiles Dentistry 948 Diablo Ave, Novato, CA 94947 415-897-8020 Book an Appointment Message Us INSURANCE & PAYMENT Insurance Discount Plan Financing Pay Your Bill ABOUT US Our Team Careers FAQs PATIENT PORTAL Log In LIKE US ON FACEBOOK FIND US ON GOOGLE Privacy Policy Notice of Privacy Practices Terms of Use Notice of Non-Discrimination CA Privacy Notice CO Privacy Notice WA Privacy Notice Accessibility Sitemap © Copyright 2006 - • Novato Smiles Dentistry Dental office staff in Novato, CA - Novato Smiles Dentistry charity: water.

CALL 415-897-8020   What is Wisdom Teeth Removal? Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure to extract the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth. These teeth often emerge during late teens or early adulthood and can cause various dental problems due to lack of space. Removing wisdom teeth can prevent issues like overcrowding, misalignment, and infection. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia by an oral surgeon or dentist.   4 Signs a Wisdom Teeth Removal is Necessary   Pain or Discomfort Persistent pain or discomfort in the back of the mouth, often caused by impacted wisdom teeth, can indicate the need for removal. Swelling and Redness Swelling, redness, or tenderness around the gums at the back of the mouth can be signs of an infection due to impacted wisdom teeth. Difficulty Opening Mouth Difficulty or pain when opening the mouth fully can suggest that wisdom teeth are causing issues with jaw movement. Bad Breath Chronic bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth can be a sign of an infection or decay caused by impacted wisdom teeth.   CALL 415-897-8020     About 85% of third molars will eventually need to be removed, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager     What to Expect The wisdom tooth removal process begins with a consultation where X-rays are taken to assess the position and condition of the wisdom teeth. Before the procedure, local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the surgery. The oral surgeon or dentist then makes an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and removes the wisdom tooth carefully.

When I needed a new dentist who took my insurance—one I trusted enough for both routine cleanings and a crown—I searched my town and the surrounding area and was disheartened by what I found. Hardly anyone had good reviews. (I think it's because people write reviews when they're unhappy and stay quiet when they're not.) I want to be the exception, because Dr. Seung Lee at Novato Smiles Dentistry deserves to be found. I came in a little nervous, as most people are with a new dentist. Dr. Lee immediately put me at ease. He's a great listener, gentle, and takes the time to explain your options without making you feel rushed. He was on time, efficient, and treated me like a person. Getting a crown is not something I was willing to do with just anyone, and after this visit, I knew I'd found the right dentist. When I mentioned my Invisalign retainer, he made sure it would work with both the temporary and permanent crown—no extra charge, no big deal made of it. That kind of quiet thoughtfulness says a lot about someone. If you're searching for a dentist in the area and feeling discouraged, I hope this helps. Dr. Lee is everything you'd want: knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely invested in your care. 5.0 Novato Smiles offers excellent service. Their staff is always welcoming and patient. The payment plan is helpful! 5.0 Victoria is great. Dr. Lee is an exceptional dentist. Frankly all the people who work there are very friendly, accommodating, and professional.

Changes in Speech Changes in speech patterns or difficulty pronouncing certain words may result from missing teeth, suggesting a need for dentures to restore speech clarity.   CALL 415-897-8020     Nearly 1 in 5 of adults aged 65 or older have lost all of their teeth.     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager     What to Expect During the dentures procedure, your dentist will begin with a comprehensive examination of your mouth, including measurements and impressions to ensure a precise fit.

Experience a cavity-free smile with our comprehensive filling solutions.   CALL 415-897-8020   What is a Dental Filling? Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. By filling in the affected area, fillings restore the tooth’s structure, function, and aesthetics. They help prevent further decay, preserve the natural tooth, and promote long-term oral health. Fillings vary in material and characteristics. Amalgam fillings, made from a mixture of metals, are durable and cost-effective but may not match the color of natural teeth. Composite resin offers a natural look but may not be as long-lasting as amalgam fillings. Ceramic and gold fillings offer excellent durability, but are typically more expensive options.   The Dental Filling Procedure   Examination Your dentist will examine your teeth and may take X-rays to identify areas of decay or damage that require filling. They will discuss the treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have. Tooth Preparation The affected tooth is numbed with local anesthesia. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed using a dental drill or laser. Filling Placement Once the tooth is prepared, your dentist will fill the cavity with a suitable filling material. Common options include amalgam (silver-colored) or composite resin (tooth-colored) fillings. Polishing After the filling is placed, your dentist will make final adjustments to ensure proper bite alignment and comfort. The filling is then polished to smooth out any rough edges and blend seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure.   CALL 415-897-8020     In the 24 to 64 age group, dental cavities affect 91% of adults.     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager   Understanding Dental Fillings   ▶     The Importance of Dental Fillings Dental fillings are essential for restoring teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. Without fillings, these issues can worsen over time, which can lead to further decay, infection, and even tooth loss. By filling cavities and repairing cracks, fillings help prevent the spread of decay and preserve the structural integrity of the tooth.

CALL 415-897-8020   What is a Tooth Extraction? A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon under local anesthesia to numb the area and minimize discomfort during the procedure. Tooth extractions may be necessary for various reasons, including severe decay, gum disease, overcrowding, or trauma. During the extraction process, the dentist or oral surgeon will carefully loosen the tooth from its socket using specialized instruments before gently removing it. Following the extraction, the dentist will provide instructions for post-operative care to promote healing and prevent complications.   4 Signs You May Need a Tooth Extraction   Overcrowding In cases of severe crowding or misalignment, tooth extraction may be necessary as part of orthodontic treatment to create space and align the remaining teeth properly. Gum Infection An infection or abscess around a tooth can be a sign of advanced decay or gum disease, often requiring extraction to resolve the issue. Severe Tooth Damage If a tooth is extensively damaged due to decay, trauma, or infection, it may require extraction to prevent further complications. Persistent Pain Chronic or severe tooth pain that is not alleviated by other treatments may indicate a problem that necessitates tooth extraction.   CALL 415-897-8020     Untreated tooth decay affects 1 in 5 adults , often resulting in the necessity for tooth extraction.     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager   Understanding Teeth Extractions   ▶     Who Needs a Tooth Extraction?

First, your dentist will numb the affected area with a local anesthetic. Next, they will use specialized tools to remove the damaged or infected tooth. Following the extraction, you’ll receive aftercare instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery. Will tooth extraction hurt? We take every precaution to ensure a comfortable, pain-free tooth extraction experience for our patients. While there may be some discomfort or mild pain during the recovery process, most patients report little to no pain during the actual procedure. How long does tooth extraction take? The length of the tooth extraction process can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's needs. In general, most tooth extractions take less than an hour to complete. How long is the recovery period after tooth extraction? The recovery period can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the complexity of the procedure, the patient's age and overall health, and how well they follow post-operative care instructions. Generally, it is normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bleeding in the first few days after the procedure. Most patients can expect to fully recover within one to two weeks. Can I eat normally after a tooth extraction? It is important to avoid eating hard or chewy foods for the first few days, as this can irritate the extraction site and slow down the healing process. Instead, stick to soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as soup, yogurt, or mashed potatoes. As you begin to feel more comfortable, you can gradually reintroduce solid foods into your diet, but be sure to follow your dentist's instructions and avoid foods that may be too hot or spicy.         Call to Schedule Your Smile is Our Priority Schedule an appointment with us today to discover the difference of advanced, proven technologies, a full suite of services, and exceptional quality in dental care – all tailored to give you a healthier, happier smile.   CALL 415-897-8020 SCHEDULE TODAY   CONTACT Novato Smiles Dentistry 948 Diablo Ave, Novato, CA 94947 415-897-8020 Book an Appointment Message Us INSURANCE & PAYMENT Insurance Discount Plan Financing Pay Your Bill ABOUT US Our Team Careers FAQs PATIENT PORTAL Log In LIKE US ON FACEBOOK FIND US ON GOOGLE Privacy Policy Notice of Privacy Practices Terms of Use Notice of Non-Discrimination CA Privacy Notice CO Privacy Notice WA Privacy Notice Accessibility Sitemap © Copyright 2006 - • Novato Smiles Dentistry Dentist Appointment in Novato, CA - Novato Smiles Dentistry charity: water.

CALL 415-897-8020   What is Scaling and Root Planing? Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical and deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque below the gumline, where regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. Unlike a routine dental cleaning, this procedure is recommended when gum disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, which is damage to the soft tissue around the teeth. During the cleaning, the dental hygienist uses specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup that sits below the gumline and smooths out areas where deposits of bacteria can harbor.   Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing   Effective Plaque Removal Scaling and root planing effectively removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline, targeting areas that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. Improved Gum Health By removing harmful bacteria and plaque, scaling and root planing help to reduce inflammation and promote healing of the gum tissue, improving overall gum health. Prevent Tooth Loss By treating gum disease, scaling and root planing can help prevent tooth loss and the need for more invasive dental treatments in the future. Halt Disease Progression This deep cleaning procedure can stop the progression of gingivitis to more advanced stages of gum disease like periodontitis.   CALL 415-897-8020     47.2% of adults aged 30 and older are affected by periodontal disease     Meet Our Team   Seung Lee , DMD Dentist DMD Alejandra Lam Dentist Oz Simel , DDS, MD Oral Surgeon DDS, MD Filippo Cangini , DDS, MS Periodontist DDS, MS Laura Aguilar-Fernandez , DDS Periodontist DDS Raime Shah , DDS, Board Certified Periodontist DDS, Board Certified Negah Karimpourtalebi Endodontist Lia Le , RDH Hygienist RDH Monicka Emmerich Office Manager   Understanding Scaling & Root Planing   ▶     Types of Scaling and Root Planing Full Mouth Debridement: This cleaning is ideal for patients with extensive plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning of the entire mouth.
