My experiences at Riggs Family Dental have been stellar. I received excellent care from Dr. Lopez, Donna (hygienist), and everyone on staff with whom I've interfaced. Dr. Lopez has a very pleasant manner and I trust him with my dental care 100%. I actually like going to the dentist!

Dental Exams and Teeth Cleaning
We aim to assess your dental health as it relates to your overall wellness. That means discussing underlying health conditions, past concerns, and even medication that you’re on. Dr. Carlos Lopez and the Riggs Family dental team will use all of this information as they:
- Assesses your teeth and existing dental restorations
- Screens for cancer throughout the mouth, neck, face, and lymph nodes
- Performs an exam of your TMJ
- Prescribes appropriate digital x-rays
- Guides you through a tour of your smile, with high-resolution images
- Implements SPECTRA cavity screening technology
If your smile is free of gum disease, we will also recommend a preventive cleaning to remove any bacterial deposits and stain. Most healthy people benefit from a prophylactic visit every six months.

Dentistry for Children
Early dental care helps your child develop a healthy outlook on oral care and a comfortable relationship with his or her dentist. We recommend that parents bring their child in for a checkup starting at age 1, so that we can begin screening for risk factors before problems start to develop later on down the road.
Root Canals
Endodontic treatments are used to preserve a tooth that has suffered from nerve damage. In most cases, treatment is recommended prior to any symptoms of pain. It’s not uncommon for people to feel nervous about getting a root canal, but newer technology makes the procedure faster and more efficient than ever before.

Laser Gum Treatments
Custom Oral Appliances
Do you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, or do you exhibit signs of TMJ disorder? It could be due to stress or sleep apnea. We can help you find out what’s causing it and provide you with a professionally fitted device to lessen the strain to both your teeth and jaw muscles.
What About Sedation Dentistry?
Choose between nitrous oxide or oral sedation to help you relax throughout your procedure. Don’t let nerves get in the way of the care you so desperately need!
