GENERAL DENTISTRY BY A HIGHLY EXPERIENCED DENTIST

We place the latest generation of composite resign filling material. These tooth-colored fillings do not fracture teeth as the old silver fillings used to do. They last many years and do not leak like older silver fillings used to to. See our brochure on the replacement of your old silver fillings and why you should consider replacement now. You can be sedated for these procedures if you wish.

Dr. Gagne does the majority of the oral surgery procedures himself. From simple extractions to more complex wisdom tooth removals, we can take care of just about any problem that you might have. Our fees are usual lower than those of an oral surgery specialist. If you request, all oral surgery procedures can be done with intravenous or oral sedation for your comfort.

We do of our own root canal procedures. Many general dentists refer these types of procedures to endodontic specialists. Also, if you have a difficult case and want to be comfortable, we can use intravenous or oral sedation. There are no endodontic specialists in Santa Barbara or Ventura counties that have a permit to perform IV Sedation.

Dentures are one of the hardest procedure that a general dentist performs. It takes years of training and experience to get you the best natural looking denutres that has the best of fits to your mouth. Dr. Gagne has taken many courses in denture construction. The most recent was in 2019 for a course on the latest digital technologies for denture fabrication. We can take you from very bad teeth that need to be removed to the construction of a denture that will last many years. Call today for a consultation with Dr. Gagne.

We specialize in what is called “Biomemetics” These are crowns that require considerably less tooth structure to be ground away. See our brochure that outlines the advantages of this technique. We also do conventional ceramic crowns and gold crowns.

In Ventura County, Dr. Gagne is one of the most experienced implant surgeon. Having placed his first dental implant in 1987, he has continued to advance his education to provide you with the most advanced dental implant care. We now use the most advanced dental implant planning software to assure you of the most optimal result. See our implant services.

Dr. Gagne does all of the dental cleanings himself. He feels that this gives him a better understanding of the patients dental condition and their needs. For many of our patients that find a routine dental cleaning a challenging procedure , we use nitrous oxide gas to relieve their anxieties. For those patients need have significant problems requiring deep cleanings we can use Intravenous Sedation to make sure you feel nothing during the procedures.
