Montclair Dental Care

Dental Examination
At Montclair Dental Care, we appreciate that healthy, stunning smiles are “made,” not “born.” So, while oral conditions (such as advanced gum disease) can have a genetic component, even those who are “genetically blessed” with great teeth require regular hygiene appointments at our practice in Oakland, California. These routine dental exams and professional cleanings are complemented by consistently good oral hygiene at home. During regular checkups, Dr. Kenneth L. Childers and our skilled dental hygienists can also equip you with tips and recommendations for products to help you improve your oral hygiene game at home. Good home care often comes down to not only consistency but to

Teeth Cleaning
By maintaining professional cleanings and exams, Dr. Childers can spot problems early in the disease process. Early-stage conditions are generally easier to treat effectively, quickly, affordably, and conservatively.
Dental Sealants
Fact or myth? If you have a cavity, you will know it. Myth, Mild tooth decay has no symptoms. Sensitivity begins to occur when the tooth decay is already causing damage to the nerve. Today’s dentistry prevents tooth decay with sealants and other conservative methods. Fact or myth? Sugar is the prime cause of cavities. A fact and also a myth. Acid is the main trigger in producing the bacteria that causes cavities. The bacteria is then fueled by the consumption of carbohydrates. Sugar is a trigger in cavities, but carbs as a whole are the main cause. Fact or myth? Cavities are the prime reason for root canals. Myth. Root canals are a result of nerve damage. And untreated cavity could lead to nerve damage, but root canals are on set by number of different factors. Facts on myth? Brushing and flossing are the best way to prevent cavities. Fact. Fact or myth? Expensive toothpastes are always better than cheaper ones. Myth. Different toothpastes are better for different teeth in situations. Sometimes moderately priced toothpaste can be more effective. Ask the dentist about what might be best for your teeth. And always look for the ADA seal of approval. Fact or myth? If a tooth is white, it must be healthy. Myth. Under the surface there may be cavities, problems with the root or other abnormalities. Fact or Myth? Teeth whitening is harmful because it damages enamel. Myth. There are many modern teeth whitening processes that have minimal harmful effects. Teeth whitening isn’t for every mouth or person though. Consult the dentist before you proceed with whitening treatments. Fact or myth? Dentists should be feared. Myth. With today’s advancements in technology and safety practices there is nothing to worry about. Procedures are as quick and painless as ever. Fact or myth? You should visit your dentists at least twice a year. FACT.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Why? Bonding involves preparing a tooth-like dental material, such as composite resin. So, the resin looks like natural tooth enamel in terms of its color and other properties.
Veneers
Porcelain (indirect) veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain. The porcelain is precisely designed and color-matched to replicate natural, flawless tooth enamel. Once the veneer is made, it is affixed securely to the front surfaces of the tooth. The process of placing and bonding the veneer to the tooth, in effect, disguises cosmetic imperfections. These imperfections include...
Crowns
The most prevalent health condition. At Montclair Dental Care in Oakland, California, we emphasize that it does not have to be this way. Led by Dr. Kenneth L. Childers, our practice partners with patients closely to protect their teeth from enamel erosion and more extensive decay, such as cavities. Additionally, we restore decayed and otherwise damaged teeth promptly. Quality dental restorations such as porcelain crowns are built to last. They also look like natural teeth.
Bridges
Dental bridges are one of the most common treatments at Montclair Dental Care in Oakland, California. When you do something enough times, you tend to be very good at it. Additionally, Dr. Childers brings more than 20 years of dentistry experience in Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, East Bay, San Leandro, and surrounding areas with him to every procedure. The dental bridge procedure is “time-tested”; it has provided a predictable, effective, and affordable way to replace a missing tooth or scattered missing teeth for decades.
Dental Bonding
However, due to the nature of the tooth bonding procedure, you must be selective in choosing the provider that performs this cosmetic treatment. Our dentist, Dr. Kenneth L. Childers, has the experience and artistic skill to plan, design, shape, and place the bonding material to the affected teeth in a way that supports a natural appearance, lasting durability, and health, and that feels natural in the mouth.
Restorative Dentistry

Root Canal Treatment
Additional modern therapies – Dr. Childers and his skilled team have a comprehensive “menu” of preventive, general, cosmetic, and restorative services for our patients to choose from. So, there is certainly an antidote to every patient’s need, and as patients’ needs evolve. Some of our advanced offerings defy categorization; for instance, our dentist has developed a niche in oral appliance therapies to comfortably resolve snoring, sleep apnea, and TMJ-TMD symptoms (such as chronic migraines ). He is also trained in endodontic care ( nonsurgical root canal therapy to treat deep decay and “save” badly damaged teeth). Our hygienists maintain or restore periodontal and dental health with gentle, painless, precision cleaning techniques.

Deep Cleaning
Suppose our dentist, Dr. Kenneth L. Childers, finds that you have existing tooth decay or gum disease. In that case, he will recommend restorative therapies ranging from dental fillings and crowns to nonsurgical “deep cleaning” or scaling and root planing. Existing health conditions must be resolved before moving forward with any elective treatments designed solely to boost the smile’s appearance. And porcelain veneers are a sought-after way to increase a patient’s smile appeal! They are often the “secret” behind famous faces’ flawless smiles.

Dentures
Serve as the visible part of the replacement tooth, which is connected to an implant placed in the jaw (dental implants function like tooth roots to stabilize the crown, or implant-retained bridges and dentures)

Dental Implants
Dental implants present a way to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a mouthful of teeth in the upper or lower arch (upper and lower jaws). The dental implant itself is designed to function as a tooth root. The implant is placed in the jawbone during a straightforward, in-office procedure. While the process itself is standard and nothing to worry about, it requires considerable planning and skill. It is important for dentists like Dr. Childers to place the implant in the jaw precisely. So, it can best support the teeth that will be connected to it. Due to the strategic placement of these artificial tooth roots, Dr. Childers may place as few as four implants to support all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw or arch. With detailed planning and positioning, a maximum number of teeth can be held in place by a minimum number of implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Tooth Extractions
Half of middle-aged Californians have experienced losing at least one tooth due to decay or periodontal (gum) disease. The California Department of Public Health further reports that almost 70% of our fellow residents aged 65 and older have undergone a dental extraction due to advanced decay or gum disease

Braces
First-rate cosmetic services – Besides offering free smile analysis, Dr. Childers is adept at designing and crafting affordable, natural-looking, durable porcelain veneers. Alternatives to veneers also include dental bonding (or “direct veneers” placed in one visit). Patients with stained or yellow teeth can benefit from professional teeth whitening, which may be applied from the comfort and convenience of home. Lastly, those with more modest spacing or bite correction needs should ask us about today’s advanced orthodontic treatment, a comfortable and discreet alternative to conventional metal braces.

Teeth Whitening
Montclair Dental Care of Oakland, California, takes pride in offering modern treatment within a relaxed, non-judgmental, warm, and inviting environment. Teeth whitening at our practice perfectly complements this highly personalized and authentically caring approach to dental care. The professional methods prescribed by our dentist, Dr. Kenneth L. Childers, “tick” all of the necessary “boxes” that add up to the quality, trustworthy care that our patients have come to expect from us. We’ve highlighted a few of the exceptional features associated with our professional products and services below...
