About Tooth + Tongue Specialized Dentistry
Tooth + Tongue Specialized Dentistry operates at 1800 San Miguel Dr in Walnut Creek, California, pairing pediatric dentistry with dental anesthesiology in one setting. Its provider roster spans a dentist-anesthesiologist, a pediatric dentist, an orthodontist, adult and oral surgery/implant dentistry, and a CRNA anesthesia team, so airway, restorative and surgical work can be sequenced together. Anesthesia is offered at three levels — nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, and general anesthesia with open-airway or intubated technique. A CO2 laser is used for frenum releases beneath the tongue or lip, and a ProMax 3D Mid cone-beam unit supports low-dose airway and TMJ evaluation, orthodontic planning and pathology detection; intraoral scanning replaces impression trays. Ozone gas is applied as an antimicrobial adjunct in caries disinfection, root canal therapy and periodontal infection. Clinicians here are recorded with the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine. Stated hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with weekends by appointment.

Common Questions
What anesthesia and sedation options does this practice provide for children?
The practice states that its dental anesthesiology team holds advanced specialty training in general anesthesia, and it offers three graded options selected per patient: nitrous oxide as a light relaxant, conscious sedation in which the patient remains responsive, and general anesthesia using open-airway or intubated technique as the case requires.
How are tongue-tie and frenum releases performed here?
Frenum releases beneath the tongue or lip are performed with a CO2 laser, a precise beam of light that removes soft tissue and releases the tight band. The practice describes the laser approach as usually requiring no stitches, unlike scalpel surgery, with a quick procedure, very little bleeding, and minimal discomfort reported afterward.
How does the practice evaluate airway, TMJ and sleep-disordered breathing?
Airway and TMJ evaluations are made with a ProMax Mid cone-beam scanner, whose low-dose extraoral imaging also supports orthodontic planning and detection of dental pathologies beyond what traditional radiographs show. For suspected sleep apnea, the practice uses the VivoScore ring, a home sleep apnea testing device aligned with FDA standards, as a screening and referral pathway.
In what situations does this practice use ozone therapy?
Ozone gas is used as an antimicrobial and oxygenating adjunct across several procedures: disinfecting carious tooth structure to reduce bacteria before a filling is placed, sterilizing the interior of a tooth during root canal therapy, treating gum infection and inflammation with ozone water or gas, desensitizing exposed roots, and supporting tissue healing after extractions or surgery.
What does the practice state about insurance and accepted payment types?
The practice states it welcomes all insurance plans but does not contract with every carrier, because policy language can restrict the care it is able to offer. Its team contacts insurance companies directly to confirm which treatments are covered and at what percentage. Accepted payment types include major credit cards, debit cards, cash and HSA cards.
