Services
Dr. Patrick Rufo is a graduate of The University of California, San Francisco, School of Dentistry. While at UCSF he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS) and a Bachelors degree in Dental Sciences. Prior to dental school he attended California State University, Sacramento, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry.
Teeth bonding is a popular method to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as a filling after a cavity has been removed, or to cover up stains or discolored teeth. A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth.
Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are used to literally create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable. The process of creating a bridge begins by creating abutments out of your existing teeth where the bridge will be attached.
Over time our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, discoloration and other problems. If you feel your smile isn't what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile. If Dr. Rufo notices that a tooth is decayed or seems weakened/cracked a crown may be necessary to make sure that there are no additional problems with the tooth.
While at our office, we make sure that you receive the highest level of service and ensure that our dental work is of the highest quality. To ensure that you maintain great oral health, this level of quality needs to extend into your personal oral hygiene routine. We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth remain healthy and white.

Great staff, clean, comfortable office. I used to be afraid to go to the dentist, but Dr Rufo has changed that; his gentle demeanor and wonderful skills make for an almost pain- free, pleasant experience. I highly recommend Dr Rufo!
