Practice Philosophy

At Withers Dental, we are constantly challenging ourselves to be on the cutting edge of today’s dentistry. With state of the art facilities, years of experience, and the ability to understand patients wants and needs, Withers Dental has been helping the people of the South Bay achieve their perfect smiles for over 45 years. Our ultimate objective with any patient is to get them to the point where they are simply coming in for cleaning and check-ups. We accomplish this by continuing to keep our patients up to date on how they can better take care of their mouths at home.

Patient Education

Our main focus is not only to provide excellent dental care, but also to leave you educated about your dental health. We thoroughly explain the advantages, disadvantages, costs, and time requirements for every dental procedure so that you can make informed personal decisions. We encourage you to ask questions and raise any concerns you may have during your visit.If you ever have questions or concerns about your dental health, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your dental health is too important for you to remain uninformed.

Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are an ideal way to replace missing teeth in most cases. They are the preferred prosthetic for both clinical and cosmetic reasons, one being that they rely on a patients actual bone for support. Compared to a dental bridge, the implant is easier to clean, and spares the neighboring teeth from needing crowns and added chewing forces. Dental implants give a stable base upon which to place a crown, and are a proven long lasting alternative to dentures and dental bridges. Implants bond with the bone as ‘substitute roots’ to form a stable foundation for permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Invisalign

Invisalign is the modern alternative to braces. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners (trays) to move teeth. This treatment is especially popular for adults seeking to reverse crowding in their front teeth because Invisalign gives you the ability to move teeth without most people even noticing you're going through treatment. Invisalign is not meant for ALL orthodontic treatments, but in most cases it is the preferred alternative to braces or a retainer.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Withers dental provides all types of cosmetic dental procedures. From direct resin bonding to porcelain veneers, our office has a commitment to providing excellent cosmetic work. Working with talented lab technicians, the best materials, and attention to detail, Withers Dental has been able to help our patients reach their cosmetic goals.

Tooth Whitening

At Withers Dental we have a great deal of experience with patients desiring whiter teeth. Despite many new products and techniques now available to whiten teeth, we believe tooth whitening gel applied in a tray is still the best way to achieve predictable and long lasting results. Using this method, most stained teeth can be whitened to the patient’s desired shade, and kept white. Other methods are difficult to control the level of whitening, or do not last as long.
