Dr. Shirley Zhao, DDS, provides general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry in Tracy, so most families never need a referral to Stockton or Modesto. Here is what we treat most often:
Walk through West High and you will see plenty of braces and clear aligners—many of them started here. We offer traditional braces and Invisalign® clear aligners for teens and adults, and we focus on a bite that works, not just straight front teeth. After treatment you leave with custom retainers to keep the result.
Erica, our Registered Dental Hygienist, handles your cleaning and gum measurements, and Dr. Zhao completes your exam, digital X-rays, and oral cancer screening in the same visit. Six-monthly check-ups are how we catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
If your gums bleed when you brush, that is the earliest sign of gum disease, which the CDC estimates affects almost half of adults over 30. We treat it with scaling and root planing—a deep cleaning below the gum line—followed by a periodontal maintenance schedule so you keep your teeth for life.
When a tooth cannot be saved, Dr. Zhao performs simple and surgical extractions right here, including wisdom tooth removal for Tracy’s students before finals week. We also offer bone grafting and sinus lifts to prepare your jaw for implants. Complex cases are referred to a board-certified oral surgeon we trust.
Missing teeth? We provide natural-looking full and partial dentures, single dental implants in Tracy that act like real tooth roots, implant-supported dentures, and full-arch (All-on-4®) solutions. Implants are planned on our in-office 3D cone-beam scan, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
We start with a relaxed “happy visit” so kids learn the chair is nothing to fear. Then come sealants and fluoride to stop cavities before they start, tooth-colored fillings when needed, and pulp therapy (pulpotomy or pulpectomy) when a baby tooth needs more help. For children who need extra help staying calm, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas). If a baby tooth is lost early, a space maintainer keeps room for the adult tooth.
Want a brighter smile for those photos at Tracy City Center? Professional teeth whitening removes coffee and wine stains in one visit. Chips and gaps are fixed with porcelain veneers or same-day composite bonding, and a full smile makeover combines treatments into one plan.
Tooth pain doesn’t wait for Monday. Call (209) 836-1748 and we will see you the same day for a broken tooth, swelling, or a knocked-out tooth, with emergency exams, extractions, and abscess drainage to stop infection spreading[cite: 82, 83]. If you reach us after hours, the voicemail gives you our emergency instructions.
