Dr. Shannon's Northridge dental practice is devoted to cosmetic approaches to restoring, enhancing, and creating the natural beauty of your smile. We use conservative, state-of-the-art cosmetic procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting white smiles!
High Standards
A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. Whether it is our custom take home whitening kit, our use of a laser to whiten teeth in less than an hour in our office, or our digital x-ray system for comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning. We also use digital photography to evaluate our treatment plan on the HD TV screen. You can have free virtual photographs of before and after treatment to see for yourself what a difference cosmetics can make in your smile and your lasting first impression. We use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
Education & Prevention
As a practitioner, Dr. Shannon is a true believer that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking digital x-rays when necessary. We also know routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health. And, your dental health has an impact on keeping your overall health in proper balance. The bacteria in plaque is the same bacteria as the plaque in heart disease, liver disease, kidney complications, and pancreatic cancer. These connections need to be addressed over the years if dental neglect is beginning to take its place in a patient's health history. Dr Shannon has taken hundreds of hours of continuing education to keep abreast of new materials and treatment modalities to offer the best to his patients.
Uncompromising Safety
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Training & Expertise
As your dental health professional, Dr. Shannon wants you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy. To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.
A Positive Experience
Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. We can use sedative anesthesia if needed and we have access to a general anesthesiologist if needed. There are even times when Dr Shannon will use relaxation/ hypnosis to achieve comfort for his patients. So, we hope you keep in mind our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you.
