Meet Dr. Belluomini
Dr. Paul Belluomini started with Serramonte Dental Group in 1991. He earned his D.D.S. from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California in 1990. Being a Bay Area native he attended high school at Serra High in San Mateo and continued his undergrad work at the University Of California, Fresno.
Dr. "B" (for those who have problems pronouncing his last name) discovered his fondness for dentistry at an early age by observing his two uncles work on family members. Coming from a family with two uncles and a cousin who are dentists was and still is great help, think of all that fun talk at family get togethers.
Dr. Belluomini enjoys all aspects of dentistry and keeps up with the current advances in the ever changing field of dentistry. He performs a wide range of general dentistry with an emphasis in cosmetics, implant crowns, and endodontics (root canals).
He is a professional member of the California Dental Association, and the American Dental Association.
Dr. B currently resides in San Carlos with his wife Joanne raising three daughters. He has a passion for the outdoors and enjoys playing baseball, hunting, and gardening. He is also a devoted and avid fan of his professional teams in San Francisco, the Giants and 49ers and enjoys collecting sports memorabilia
Services and Procedures
Cleaning & Prevention
Dental cleaning is performed by one of our registered dental hygienists, followed by a thorough exam by Dr. Russo. An x-ray of teeth and mouth is done on a semi-annual basis to evaluate the health of your teeth and mouth.
Restorations
We offer a full range of teeth restoration procedures including porcelain composite fillings and full zirconia crowns. We work with labs that produce state-of-the-art porcelain to match your existing tooth enamel.
Veneers
Veneers are a great option to enhance your smile. Veneers are thin porcelain coverings over your teeth that will provide the desired shade and shape that generally requires little removal of tooth structure.
Implants & Bridges
After a tooth loss, dental implants offer a lifetime of better chewing and confidence as they function like real teeth. A dental bridge is an alternative fixed appliance designed to replace missing teeth.
Root Canals
Due to an unfortunate accidents or the decaying process of a tooth, occasionally the pulp and the nerve of teeth die or become infected. To treat infection and curb its potential spread, a root canal may be necessary.
Extractions
In certain situations, tooth extraction may be necessary. Tooth extraction should be performed by a qualified dentist or maxillofacial surgeon, who has the experience to extract a tooth in a professional manner without unnecessary pain.
Invisalign
Everyone wants a great smile, but many of us need help to get there. Clear aligners are often effective in correcting a smile. We offer Invisalign®, a series of custom made clear aligners that gradually straighten teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are used when teeth are missing. We provide both partial and complete dentures. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by missing teeth. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing.
