We can fix minor cosmetic dental problems such as closing small gaps between teeth, adding tooth length or change the overall shape of a tooth by bonding a special resin to your tooth.

Carl Trubschenck, DDS in Citrus Heights offers both single-visit teeth whitening and take-home teeth whitening kits to brighten stained, discolored, or dull looking teeth.

Whitening your teeth at home often involves using a custom fitted mouth guard into which a whitening solution is placed. These mouth guards will help protect your gums from irritation.

Metal fillings are virtually a thing of the past. At Carl Trubschenck, DDS, we have the technology to replace any unattractive metal fillings with natural looking tooth-colored fillings making them almost invisible to the naked eye. These composite fillings are structurally bonded to your teeth making them much less likely to fall out which was a regular problem with silver/amalgam fillings.

Situations where a filling might compromise tooth structure and where a full crown is not necessary, an inlay or onlay will be placed to restore tooth damage caused by a cavity or trauma.

Our extensive aesthetic dental training means we can place ultra-thin natural looking porcelain on uneven, chipped, discolored, or worn teeth to give you the smile you've always wanted.

A bridge is made up of two or more crowns and is attached using the teeth on either side of the gap. The anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth and hold the bridge in place. Dental bridges can use natural teeth or implants to be held in place.

A crown is sometimes termed a "cap" or "jacket." A crown will restore a large filling or a cracked tooth to its original size, shape and tooth color. A crown can strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and improves the appearance of your teeth.

Tooth-colored fillings, white fillings and composite resin fillings are all names for the high-strength, natural-looking fillings that can be placed today instead of silver or gold (also known as amalgam fillings).
