- Dental ExaminationDental radiographs (X-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without X-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
- X-raysDental X-rays produce a low level of radiation and are considered safe. Dentists take necessary precautions to limit the patient’s exposure to radiation when taking dental X-rays. These precautions include using lead apron shields to protect the body and using modern, fast film that cuts down the exposure time of each X-ray.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
- Teeth CleaningDental Cleanings & Preventive Care in Burlingame A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
- Fluoride TreatmentPrevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.
- Dental SealantsA sealant is a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and are very susceptible to decay. A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeDental veneers are thin, resilient shells that resemble the natural color of your enamel. They attach to the front surface of your teeth to correct and enhance your smile aesthetics. Dental veneers are typically made from porcelain or resin composite materials and are permanently attached to the teeth. These shells are a popular treatment because they address mild to moderate issues and enhance aesthetics while being minimally invasive.
- VeneersHaving a beautiful, healthy smile that you are proud to show off can give you lasting confidence. Unfortunately, many people are unsatisfied with their smiles which significantly limits their quality of life. If you have a generally healthy smile but are not completely happy with it, the right solution could be more attainable than you think. Linna Golodriga, DDS, offers transformative treatment with porcelain and composite dental veneers for Burlingame and the surrounding areas. With this versatile and popular cosmetic treatment, we can transform a single tooth or full smile to give you the bright and beautiful smile you desire.
- CrownsCrowns: A dental crown is a porcelain or ceramic prosthetic tooth that our dentist fits directly over your existing tooth. In most cases, we use a crown when your tooth is severely damaged, and we need to protect it from extraction and maintain a functional bite without compromising beauty.
- BridgesDental bridges are highly durable and will last many years. They are an excellent way to replace missing teeth.
- Dental BondingBonding: Tooth bonding involves applying and hardening a tooth-colored resin material to your tooth using a special light. The material ultimately "bonds" to the tooth to restore or improve your smile.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesWe use dental implants to support various cosmetic prosthetic teeth such as bridges, single crowns, and complete or partial dentures, giving you the most advanced outcomes available.

Our dental team collaborates with a skilled and trusted oral surgeon who will place your implant while we customize and add your restoration.

- Tooth Extractions
- Invisalign OrthodonticsMost recently I noticed that my teeth were crowding forward. Where I'd had straight teeth before, they were beginning to overlap, push out (I was beginning to resemble a rabbit) and x-rays showed stress lines. Dr. G. recommended Invisalign. I have one set (out of 13) of aligners left to go and my teeth are straight again, flossing is much easier and I'm no longer having scary "teeth dreams" where my teeth crumble and fall out of my head.
- BracesDr. Golodriga often recommends Invisalign to treat mild to moderate alignment issues. Invisalign can conveniently and discreetly realign your crooked teeth, improve your smile and oral health. As a clear, removable alternative to regular braces, this cosmetic orthodontic treatment transforms your smile with minimal disruption to your daily life.
- Teeth WhiteningOur take-home whitening kits provide the convenience of whitening your smile when, where, and how you want. Our dentist makes an impression of your smile and crafts your custom trays to promote uniform whitening and better results. If you have a busy schedule, whitening your smile at home could be ideal.

Even with excellent oral care, many of us still have a thing or two we wish to change about our smile. At Burlingame Dentist, we offer several simple and effective ways to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Linna Golodriga combines dental science with artistic talent to provide customized and unique cosmetic enhancements for a perfect smile makeover.
