Dental Services Taking good care of your teeth and gums is an important part of life. A beautiful smile not only looks good, but it is also an indicator of your overall health. Studies have shown that systemic illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, are directly linked to oral health complications like periodontal (gum) disease. At Michael Yokoyama, D.D.S, our goal is to help you maintain excellent oral health and improve your overall quality of life. Our services include preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and periodontal dentistry. If you are in need of any professional dental treatment, you have come to the right place! Dental ImplantsA dental implant is an ideal solution if you are missing one or more teeth. As a periodontist, Dr. Yokoyama specializes in the treatment planning and placement of dental implants. Once in place, the implant will serve as the root component of a dental prosthesis. Because it becomes a part of you, an implant is the next best thing to your natural tooth.
