The current treatment model for many dentists is a disease model that rewards aggressive dental treatment

In contrast, Dr. Gary Umeda and his team operate from a health model that emphasizes proper diagnosis with risk assessment and uses minimally invasive treatments with quality materials. 

Doing a proper risk assessment helps identify and prevent the development or progression of dental problems. By taking preventive measures, you will save costs over time.

Preventive dentistry includes in-office services such as full exams (including oral cancer screenings), x-rays, teeth cleaning, polishing, and sealants to protect children’s teeth from decay. We work with you to establish a personalized at-home care plan to keep your teeth and gums healthy in between visits.

We also perform periodontal (gum) disease therapy to assess and monitor risk and prevent decay. When it comes to gum disease, patients often do not even realize that they have a problem until it is very far advanced. Early symptoms are usually minor. However, gum disease is closely linked to overall health. When left untreated, it can cause problems not just in your mouth but in other areas of your body, including heart disease. We regularly screen you for signs of inflammation and bone loss in order to detect signs of early gum disease.

Our approach to dental health and overall wellness is to prevent serious dental problems before they develop so we can keep your teeth and gums healthy in the long-term.

Dr. Gary Umeda (second photo) brings you excellence with the most current procedures that are available in the dental community. He believes in ongoing education and strives to be at the forefront of cutting edge technology and procedures. Always passionate about sharing his experience and knowledge with other dentists, Dr. Umeda serves as a mentor for several dental associations and organizations.

Dr. Umeda obtained his Bachelor of Science from UCLA in 1971 followed by his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific in 1975. He holds several other respected credentials, including Fellowship of the International Congress of Oral Implantology, Academy of Dentistry International, and American College of Dentists. Of his many achievements, the honor Dr. Umeda continues to take the greatest pride in is the positive results seen in his patients, many of whom he has served for decades.
