Lakefront Family Dentistry, nestled in the scenic locale of Lake Elsinore, stands as a testament to three decades of unparalleled dental care in Southern California. Under the esteemed guidance of Dr. Derek Hauser, DDS, and Dr. Mark Phillipe, DDS, this gorgeous private dental practice has been making beautiful smiles and trust, one patient at a time.

One of the secrets behind their success is the practice’s ability to combine treatments, ensuring patients get comprehensive care in fewer visits.

Let’s look at some of these combined treatments that have set Lakefront Family Dentistry apart from other dentists.

Smile Makeover

   – Porcelain Veneers & Teeth Whitening: Veneers can correct the shape, size, and color of teeth, while whitening ensures that the surrounding natural teeth match the veneers’ brightness.

   – Invisalign & Teeth Whitening: After straightening teeth with Invisalign, teeth whitening can be done to enhance the overall brightness of the smile.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

   – Dental Implants & Dentures/Partials: For patients with multiple missing teeth, a combination of dental implants and dentures can be used to restore the full function and appearance of the mouth.

   – Bridges & White Tooth Fillings: Bridges replace missing teeth while fillings restore decayed ones, together rejuvenating the patient’s smile.

Periodontal Care

   – Gum Disease Treatment & Periodontal Disease Treatment: Addressing both the early and advanced stages of gum disease ensures comprehensive gum health.

   – Root Canals & Crowns (using Same-Day CEREC Crowns): After a root canal treatment, a tooth often needs a crown to restore its strength and appearance.

   – Frenectomy & Orthodontic Treatment (like Invisalign): A frenectomy can be done to address speech or oral challenges and can be followed or accompanied by orthodontic treatments to align teeth.

Cosmetic & Functional Enhancements

   – TMJ Treatment with Botox & Oral Sedation Dentistry: For patients undergoing TMJ treatments, oral sedation can be offered to ensure comfort, if needed.

   – Teeth Whitening & White Tooth Fillings: After getting white tooth-colored fillings, teeth whitening can enhance the overall aesthetic result.

Advanced Technology Treatments

   – Solea Laser Treatments & Gum Disease Treatment: The Solea Laser can be used to address various dental issues, including gum disease, offering a less invasive approach.

Same-Day Crowns and Detailed Assessment

   – With their two state-of-the-art CEREC machines, Dr. Phillipe and Dr. Hauser can craft and fit crowns on the same day. This not only reduces waiting time but ensures the crown fits perfectly with the natural teeth, enhancing both function and aesthetics.

Veneers and Teeth Reshaping

   – Porcelain veneers, while crafted over a few visits, can be combined with teeth reshaping. This ensures once the veneers are placed, they align perfectly with the natural teeth contour, giving a harmonious and radiant smile.

Invisalign Treatment and Professional Teeth Whitening

   – While Invisalign aligners straighten your teeth, combining this treatment with professional teeth whitening can offer a complete smile transformation. Once the teeth are aligned into the desired position, a whitening session can enhance the brightness and shine of your teeth, giving you a straight, radiant smile.

Invisalign and Regular Dental Check-ups

   – It is crucial to monitor the progress of the teeth alignment during Invisalign treatment. By combining Invisalign with regular dental check-ups, Dr. Phillipe and Dr. Hauser make sure the teeth are moving as planned and check for any potential dental issues, ensuring comprehensive oral care.

White Tooth Fillings and Preventive Sealants

   – After addressing cavities with white tooth fillings, it is a proactive step to apply preventive sealants to the teeth, especially the molars. These sealants protect the teeth from potential decay, safeguarding the restored teeth to remain healthy and intact for a longer time.

White Tooth Fillings and Post-Treatment Care

   – Once a tooth has been restored with a white tooth filling, Dr. Hauser and Dr. Phillipe emphasize post-treatment care. This includes guidelines on oral hygiene practices, dietary recommendations, and regular dental check-ups to ensure the longevity of the filling and the overall health of the surrounding teeth.

Customized Oral Health Plans and Regular Check-ups

   – Every patient at Lakefront Family Dentistry receives a personalized oral health plan, designed after a thorough assessment. Combining this with regular check-ups ensures that dental health is always at its peak, and any potential issues are caught early.

Dental Implants and Custom Crown Fitting

   – After a dental implant procedure, it is essential that the crown fits seamlessly. Thanks to the CEREC machines, patients can have their crowns milled and often fitted in the same visit, ensuring the implant looks and feels just like a natural tooth.

Cosmetic Enhancements and Patient Education

   – While treatments like teeth whitening offer immediate results, Dr. Hauser and Dr. Phillipe believe in combining these with patient education. By educating patients on maintaining oral hygiene, the results of cosmetic treatments last longer, ensuring patients get the most out of their visit.

Reduce the Number of Dental Visits to Save Patients Time

These combinations not only offer comprehensive solutions to dental issues but also reduce the number of visits, making it convenient for patients so they can spend more time with family and reduce time off work.

In the evolving world of dentistry, where technology and techniques are continually advancing, the team at Lakefront Family Dentistry, led by the vision of Dr. Derek Hauser, DDS, and Dr. Mark Phillipe, DDS, remains steadfast in their commitment to offering comprehensive and compassionate care.
