Comprehensive dentistry involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of general conditions affecting the teeth, gums and jaw. We focus on quality preventive care because it enables us to diagnose and treat problems while they’re still small and utilize more conservative treatment plans. Early diagnosis also reduces your risk of needing more complex and expensive treatment in the future.
Early and consistent visits to the dentist are the best way to protect your child's smile and prevent issues. Seeing the dentist early can also help to reduce future dental anxiety by normalizing the experience and offering children a fun, consistent environment to learn about their oral health and receive care.
At Monrovia Dental Care, we're proud to see patients of all ages! That makes it easier for you to get great oral care for the whole family, all under one roof! We see patients beginning at 6 months old, so please call us to schedule your child's first dental appointment!
If you have older children or are an elderly adult, there's always room in our practice for your smile, too! With a range of treatment options from general to cosmetic dentistry, we're confident you'll find what you need in our Monrovia office.
At Monrovia Dental Care, we believe that an attractive smile is important for a healthy self-image. Studies show that having a healthy, confident smile can enhance your self-esteem and help you make better first impressions. Even subtle cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and tooth-colored fillings can completely change the way you feel about your smile!
Veneers are thin, durable ceramic sheets that are bonded to the front side of your teeth to permanently improve your smile’s appearance. Veneers can change the color, shape and even the size of your teeth to create a brighter, more uniform smile.
Lumineers are even thinner than traditional veneers, and they require less time in the dental chair. The Lumineers procedure leaves most of your natural tooth intact, whereas traditional veneers usually involve grinding down the top layer of your tooth in order for the veneer to be bonded securely. Lumineers can be bonded directly to the top layer of your tooth with little or no enamel removal, and they’ve been proven to last for over 20 years.
Because of the minimal preparation, Lumineers can be applied with NO shots and NO drills. No kidding! They’re usually reversible too, just in case you change your mind about your smile makeover. Call today to find out if veneers or Lumineers are right for your smile!
A bright smile can boost your confidence, make you look and feel younger, and even help you make better first impressions. When you feel confident about your smile, it shows!

Many of the things we take for granted with our natural teeth, from smiling and talking to eating the foods we love, can become easier again with restorative dentistry. We offer a variety of restorative dental treatments that will give your smile a second chance.
According to the American Academy of Periodontology, gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults over age 35. If your gums feel tender, look red and swollen or bleed every time you floss, you could be at risk. Untreated gum disease has been linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, so it’s important to keep up with your biannual dental checkups and cleanings.
Gum disease used to require surgery more often than not. While surgery is sometimes still the best option, we can now treat many cases with less invasive techniques such as local antibiotics, deep cleanings and medicated rinses.
