Looking for a general dentist in Walnut Creek who takes the time to look at more than just your teeth? At Kwon & Jabbour Dental, Dr. Julie Kwon and Dr. Hani Jabbour care for your whole smile, and the health behind it. From gentle cleanings to thorough check-ups, our team helps families keep small problems small and healthy mouths healthy.
We practice what we call total wellness dentistry. That means we pay attention to how your teeth, gums, bite, jaw, and even your breathing work together. Patients searching for a holistic dentist in Walnut Creek often tell us this is exactly the approach they were hoping to find.
Most people think of a check-up as a quick look for cavities. Ours goes further, because your mouth can tell us a lot about your overall health. At each comprehensive exam, we check:
This whole-body, holistic view helps us catch issues most exams miss, like nighttime grinding tied to airway trouble. If it has been a while, here is how to tell if you are due for a dental review. And if you want to get the most from your visit, try these four questions to ask your dentist during a comprehensive exam.
Even great brushers miss spots. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, a crusty buildup that a toothbrush cannot remove. Our hygiene team gently clears away tartar and plaque, polishes your teeth, and checks the areas that are easy to miss at home.
A professional dental cleaning is not just about a fresh, smooth feeling (although that part is nice). It is one of the best ways to prevent cavities and gum disease, and it gives us a regular chance to spot changes early. Most patients do best with a cleaning every six months, though some benefit from more frequent visits. We will recommend a schedule that fits your mouth, not a one-size-fits-all rule.
X-rays let us see what the eye cannot: cavities between teeth, infection around roots, bone levels, and problems developing under the gumline. We use digital x-rays, which use a very low dose of radiation, far less than older film x-rays. The images appear on a screen in seconds, so we can show you exactly what we see and explain it in everyday words.
We only take x-rays when they are truly useful for your care. If you have questions about timing or safety, just ask. We are always happy to walk you through it.
Gum disease (the medical name is periodontal disease) is an infection of the gums and the bone that holds your teeth in place. It often starts quietly, with a little bleeding when you brush or floss. Left alone, it can lead to receding gums, bad breath, and eventually loose teeth. Research also links gum health to heart health and overall wellness, which is one more reason we take it seriously.
The good news: caught early, gum disease is very manageable. Regular cleanings, a deeper cleaning below the gumline when needed, and simple home-care coaching can stop it in its tracks. At every visit, we measure your gums and track changes over time, so nothing sneaks up on you.
If going to the dentist makes you anxious, you are far from alone, and you will never be judged for it here. Many of our patients came to us specifically looking for a dentist for nervous patients in Walnut Creek, often after years of putting off care.
Here is how we help:
Tell us what has made past visits hard. It genuinely helps us make this one easier.
As a family dentist serving Walnut Creek, we care for patients across every stage of life: toddlers at their first visit, school-age kids, teens, parents, and grandparents. Keeping the whole family in one office makes scheduling simpler, and it lets us understand your family's health story over time.
For children, we go beyond cleanings and fluoride. Our pediatric growth and development care watches how your child's jaws, bite, and airway develop, so we can guide growth early instead of correcting problems later.
Sometimes an exam turns up a cavity, a cracked filling, or a tooth that needs more support. When that happens, we explain what we found, show you the images, and lay out your options clearly, including what happens if you wait. No pressure, no surprises.
Most repairs are handled right here with restorative dentistry, from tooth-colored fillings to crowns. If a tooth needs a crown, we can often make and place it in a single visit with same-day crowns, so you skip the temporary crown and the second appointment.
Good dental care should not be confusing to pay for. Our team files claims for you and works hard to help you maximize your insurance benefits, so you get the most from the plan you already pay for. Before treatment, we review costs with you so you can make decisions with clear numbers, not guesses.
You can read more about our insurance policies and how billing works. If you are budgeting for a larger treatment plan, we also offer 0% financing through CareCredit, which lets many patients break costs into manageable monthly payments. Looking for an affordable dentist in Walnut Creek usually comes down to this: prevention costs far less than repair, and we help you plan for both.
Whether you are due for a cleaning, overdue for an exam, or looking for a dental home that treats you like a whole person, we would love to meet you. Call Kwon & Jabbour Dental at (925) 930-8465 or request a visit online. We see patients Monday through Thursday, 8:30am to 5:00pm.
