Our practice offers a wide range of dental services designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy at every stage of life. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or need treatment for a dental issue, general dentist Dr. Alison Defilippi is dedicated to providing the best care possible.
We know that maintaining your oral health means more than just treating problems as they arise. We’re here to prevent dental problems from happening in the first place. That’s why we focus on preventative care, education, and building lasting relationships with our patients. As a locally owned dental office in Reno, we’re committed to helping our community enjoy better dental health.
Why Visit Dr. Teeth?
Our office believes in treating every patient as an individual. Dr. Alison Defilippi takes the time to get to know you, understand your needs, and provide personalized recommendations for your dental care. She wants to build long-term relationships with her patients and provide the highest level of care with a personal touch. Dr. Defilippi also provides preventative care and routine care whenever you visit.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Regular dental check-ups are one of the most important things you can do to maintain your oral health. During your visit, we perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We check for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other dental issues. Our office also uses advanced digital X-rays to get a closer look at areas that are not visible to the naked eye. This technology helps Dr. Defilippi catch problems early, which means easier and less expensive treatment for you.
After your exam, Dr. Defillipi will discuss any findings with you and review your treatment options. We want you to feel informed and comfortable with your care plan, and we’re always here to answer your questions.
Professional Cleanings
Even if you brush and floss every day, plaque and tartar can still build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. That’s why professional cleanings are so important. Our registered dental hygienists (RDH) will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth with a dental prophylaxis to leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean. Regular professional cleanings can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease so you can keep your teeth and gums looking great.
Advanced Dental Technology
We’re proud to use state-of-the-art technology at Dr. Teeth. From digital X-rays to laser dentistry, we utilize the latest tools to deliver the highest quality care with reduced discomfort and faster recovery times. Our advanced technology enables us to perform a wide range of treatments more efficiently so you have fewer visits to the dentist.
Laser dentistry is one of the ways we improve patient care. We use this technique for procedures like gum treatments and cavity removal, with less pain and quicker healing than traditional methods. Dr. Defilippi skillfully uses these modern tools so your experience in her office is as smooth as possible.
General Dentistry Services at Dr. Teeth
Our general dentistry treatments help you maintain your oral health and prevent future dental problems. General dental care in our Reno, NV office includes many treatments that keep your teeth and gums in good condition.
Custom Mouthguard
Dr. Defilippi creates custom mouthguards to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw. Each mouthguard is made to fit your unique bite for a comfortable fit and strong protection. Because they’re made just for you, custom mouthguards absorb shock better than store-bought versions. Using a custom mouthguard can greatly lower your risk of chipped teeth, jaw injuries, and other dental problems.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen at any time. You need immediate care for a sudden toothache, a cracked tooth, or a dental injury. Dr. Defilippi offers emergency dental care in Reno to relieve your pain and prevent further damage. We always do our best to see emergency patients as soon as possible because we know how urgent dental issues can be.
Don’t hesitate to contact us right away in a dental emergency. We’ll provide guidance over the phone so you get the care you need fast.
Family-Friendly Care
We love to take care of families. At Dr. Teeth, we provide family dentistry services for patients of all ages, from young children to seniors. Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or your own regular check-up, we aim to make every experience positive and stress-free. Our team understands that children need gentle care, and we go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
As your family dentist in Reno, we work to establish good dental habits early. We also provide ongoing education to help you and your family maintain great oral health.
Laser Dentistry
Dr. Defilippi uses laser dentistry and advanced technology to treat various dental conditions. Lasers provide precise and minimally invasive care. Our patients experience less pain and faster healing. Procedures include gum disease treatment, cavity removal, and gum reshaping. Dental lasers make dental visits more comfortable.
Tooth Extraction
We only recommend a tooth extraction if we need to remove severely damaged or infected teeth. Wisdom teeth extractions are common because these teeth can become impacted, leading to swelling, pain, and infection. We want to remove these problematic teeth to reduce discomfort and protect your oral health. A comfortable teeth extraction helps prevent future dental issues and maintains overall comfort.
Sedation Dentistry
We know that many patients can feel anxious about dental visits. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry to help you feel calm and relaxed during your treatment. Dental sedation is a great option for patients with dental anxiety or a fear of the dentist. We also use sedation for your comfort if you have lengthy or complex procedures.
