In addition to our own website, there are other sites on the Web that provide interesting and helpful dental information.

Stem Cell Preservation
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently discovered stem cells in teeth – the cells that naturally repair your body. Scientists are working rapidly to direct stem cells, so they grow into almost any type of human cells, including heart, brain, nerve, cartilage, bone and liver cells. Now you have an unprecedented and timely opportunity to secure and store your family’s own unique stem cells to treat future disease or injury.

Academy of General Dentistry
The AGD’s consumer information section provides information on more than 50 oral dental health topics.

American Dental Association
Provides information for the general public including dental care articles, dental insurance information, and information for students interested in dentistry.

Frontier Dental Laboratory
Located in Eldorado Hills, Frontier Dental Laboratory is one of the nation's most trusted sources for high end aesthetic dentistry. Within the site you can find useful information regarding the processes involved in aesthetic dentistry as well as a variety of before and after images of aesthetic patients. This is our lab of choice for cosmetic cases.

DNA PCR Testing
Hain Diagnostics provides the technology behind a simple and inexpensive test to determine the specificity and amount of periodontal (gum disease) bacteria. Because we now know that certain bacteria associated with periodontal disease are directly linked to other systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and pre-term birth, this information is critical in helping us maintain your total body health.

American Academy of Periodontology
Frequently asked questions about periodontal (gum) disease and implants compiled by the American Academy of Periodontology.

Zoom!
