Mountain V Family Dentistry

Dental Examination
Regular dental exams, professional cleanings, and good oral hygiene practices at home are essential to detecting and strategically managing periodontitis.
X-rays
"Mountain View Family Dental is a Five Star Dental Practice! Our son was playing baseball and was hit in the face with a ball. His lip and mouth were cut requiring sutures at the ER and we were concerned with a possible tooth fracture (no dental X-rays could be taken at the ER). I contacted Dr. Guffey on a Friday evening (in panic mode!) and he promptly returned my call. He said he'd be happy to meet us at his office the next morning at 8am (Saturday!). Dr. Guffey was very attentive and handled our son with compassion and care. We were happy to learn the teeth looked healthy and no fractures!
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screenings are a normal part of any visit to the dentist. Our team is trained to spot any oral abnormalities that may be cause for further examination, and will work with you to determine your best options.

Teeth Cleaning
Seeing your dentist once a year isn’t just good for your health, it’s good for your wallet! Regular dental cleanings and preventive dentistry can help keep your teeth looking good while simultaneously preventing both oral diseases and the expensive dental procedures needed to treat them.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Sealants give us a tool that can dramatically reduce the number of fillings placed in permanent teeth during critical stages of growth and development. On the chewing surface of molars, deep grooves reach into the center of the teeth. Under a microscope, these crevices might look like a deep canyon. In fact, most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but wide enough for bacteria to hide. It’s easy to see how cavities can form in such a perfect hideout.

Fillings
Veneers
Veneers display the ultimate in dental art and science, handcrafted and customized to fit your smile. Like a contact lens, these paper-thin pieces of porcelain bond to the outside of your natural teeth. But don’t be fooled by the thin characteristics of this material. Many unique features can be incorporated into the ceramics, replicating any look you want to create.
Crowns
Modern anesthetics provide powerful numbing for gentle removal of the inflamed nerve inside the tooth. The nerve canal undergoes disinfection and careful shaping, and a sealer fills the internal space. A filling or crown over the tooth helps return the tooth to its original condition.
Bridges
Whenever you cruise across a bridge over the water, you’re being supported by the same principles that hold a dental bridge. Critical stabilization on each side helps bear the load, year after year. Teeth on either side of a space support a replacement tooth engineered from durable materials and glued into place. While this often serves for many years, the load-bearing teeth may deteriorate after thousands of chewing cycles. In some cases, this leads to more missing teeth.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
We know it's not always easy for you to sort through the complicated possibilities. Our doctors' backgrounds in restorative dentistry allow them to develop solutions for every scenario.

Root Canal Treatment
A deep cavity can give bacteria access to the inner nerve bundle. A crack extending into the same region can create stress that will need additional care to relieve. In some cases, a significant infection may develop in your jaw without any symptoms at all. If Dr. Guffey or Dr. Temp determines that the nerve won’t recover or infection is present, then root canal treatment may be suggested.

Dentures
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is the most common adult dental affliction. About 30% of the population experiences gum disease, and it’s the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. Many denture cases begin as a result of the ravages of this condition. While not curable, it is controllable. But it requires a focused strategy, similar to managing other chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Dental Implants
In many cases, adding dental implants offer a better alternative, eliminating stress from the chewing system. When carefully placed in the bone of empty spaces, they mimic the roots of teeth. They bear the load that the natural teeth used to hold, sparing the neighboring teeth from excessive forces. In some cases, two implants may be used to build a bridge spanning from one solid titanium piece to another.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Despite your best efforts, teeth sometimes need to be removed to protect your health. When we’ve discussed all other possibilities and you’ve decided on extraction, we’ll take every step to help you. Your well-being always takes priority in any treatment decision. Some patients prefer sedation to help with oral surgery, and we can include medicated options into your plan. Regardless, we take every measure to make even minor surgical procedures as comfortable as possible.
Tooth Extractions
Bone Grafting
The bone around your teeth is highly specialized and doesn’t regenerate when it’s lost. Your teeth rely on this bony foundation to remain stable and functional, and even small defects can compromise your ability to maintain a tooth. Sometimes we can repair these defects by adding bone grafting materials.

Orthodontics
A variety of tooth and jaw issues open up the door to orthodontics in a growing child. Dr. Guffey or Dr. Temp may point out that your child’s baby teeth appear crowded, or the relationship between the jaws isn’t ideal. While not generally the time for treatment, it may help you prepare for the possibility of future corrective care. As permanent teeth start to appear, usually around age 6, Dr. Guffey or Dr. Temp monitor the process further and helps you decide if early orthodontic treatment makes sense.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Braces
Although the majority of cases involve teenagers, braces can play a role for some kids in their earlier years. Since permanent teeth are typically larger than baby teeth, space may need to be opened with the gentle force of braces. This allows teeth to move into place properly, helping avoid more extensive treatment later.

Teeth Whitening
Sometimes a new smile emerges from the simplest steps. Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate dull white enamel surfaces. A brilliant boost along with some gentle polishing and reshaping of chipped, uneven edges can create an easy transformation. Simple and safe, most patients don’t realize how much discoloration embeds into their teeth until they see a new shine emerge.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Temp maintains a strong commitment to continuing education and personal growth. Her advanced training includes an emphasis on dental implants, conscious sedation, pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, and many other areas. She loves learning and focuses on expanding the services she provides to her patients.
General Dentistry
Dr. Perez is an avid learner who is driven to use his knowledge to improve people's well-being and decrease their discomfort. He continually supplements his dental degree with advanced continuing education and is in the process of earning his Fellowship of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). Dr. Perez is also a member of the American Dental Association.
