Dental Examination
A TMJ assessment is an important part of any comprehensive dental examination. Early diagnosis of TMJ disorders allows for comprehensive and effective treatment. Here's what a typical TMJ exam entails...
X-rays
Advanced imaging is essential to performing surgical procedures like dental implants, wisdom tooth extractions, etc. Panoramic X-rays identify missing teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, and other suspicious oral lesions. CBCT scans are used to capture 3-dimensional images to identify landmarks such as facial nerves and sinus membranes. This is essential to correctly placing dental implants and measuring their success. We use the
Oral Cancer Screening
On your first visit we will register you as a new patient. We require some basic background information including your medical history and privacy consent forms. Once you’ve completed the necessary paperwork, one of our assistants will take you to your room. Our assistant will take the necessary X-rays. Be sure to let us know if you’re pregnant or if you’ve brought your own X-rays. You’re now ready to be seen by our dentist Dr. Jazayeri. Dr. Jazayeri will carefully review your medical health history, X-rays, and chief concern. If you’re scheduled for a full exam, we will also perform your oral cancer screening, full periodontal evaluation, and bite assessement. We will create a treatment plan to help you start fixing up your smile. If you’re being treated for a limited problem, we will focus on the what is causing you pain and discomfort. Feel free to ask Dr. Jazayeri all of your questions as he is always ready and willing to provide an answer! Once you understand your treatment plan, our office manager will review cost and financing options. You are now on your way to a healthier, happier smiles!

Teeth Cleaning
Let us know if you’re pregnant or think that you might be. We will avoid unnecessary radiation for all expecting moms. This means that you won’t be taking routine X-rays. We also avoid X-rays that use higher radiation doses (like CT scans). For emergency X-rays, we minimize your radiation by double-shielding. We also avoid laying you flat and sit you at an angle that’s more comfortable for you and your fetus. Please note that the best time to see the dentist during pregnancy is during the 2nd trimester when the fetus is not going through as much growth. If your physician recommends a dental cleaning during pregnancy, try to schedule it during this time.
Fluoride Treatment
Space Maintainers
Bone graft is a bone substitute that dentists use to restore and preserve the jawbone. Bone graft is primarily used during tooth extraction for socket preservation. It is also oftentimes used to assist with dental implant surgery. Placing a bone graft assists your body in growing more of its own bone. Essentially, the bone graft acts as a space maintainer to fill in the tooth extraction socket. This allows your body to regenerate more bone and heal more predictably.

Fillings
We only offer composite fillings and ceramic inlays/onlays. We do not perform Amalgam fillings due to their potential risk subsequent to heavy metal content (Mercury).
Veneers
Want to improve your smile? Dr. Jazayeri offers complete smile makeover using porcelain veneers. There are many different reasons why patients choose to get their smiles enhanced with porcelain veneers...
Crowns
Congratulations on having received your new filling or crown. You should know that it takes a few days to get accustomed to your new fillings and crowns, especially if you’ve received multiple dental restorations. Give it a few days to see how you feel afterward. In the meantime, here are some things you can expect as you get used to your new dental restorations...
Bridges
Bridges are dental prostheses that restore broken and missing teeth. Most of us end up needing a few crowns or bridges in our lifetime. It's important to understand the limitations of crowns and bridges. Placing a crown or bridge on your teeth does not mean that the tooth is protected indefinitely. Teeth with crowns and bridges can still develop recurrent cavities, bone loss, or infections, just like any other tooth in your mouth! This explains why caring for your crowns and bridges is important to the long-term longevity of your teeth and dental prosthesis.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes your tooth nerve and saves your tooth. When you receive a root canal, your dentist removes the tooth’s entire nerve. This eliminates pain and infection while at the same time allowing you to keep your bad tooth. Here are some basic instructions you should follow after receiving a root canal treatment...

Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning to reverse gum disease when there’s an abundance of plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. Gum disease is a serious oral condition that causes your teeth to become loose and infected. As gum disease progresses, it works its way down towards the foundation of your teeth. This creates

Dentures
It's important to care properly for your dentures if you want them to look good and last a long time. Taking good care of your dentures protects your remaining teeth, existing gum structure, and valuable jawbone. Cleaning your
Overdentures
Overdentures as they are completely different treatments. All-on-four implants are far superior to dentures and more comparable to natural teeth. Here are the ways in which all-on-four implants differ from dentures...

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Panoramic radiographs are used to visualize wisdom teeth, impacted teeth, sinuses, as well as major nerves and arteries. They also assist with diagnosing Temporomandibular Joint (TM) problems. These X-rays capture a large segment of your skull. They provide your dentist with a broad overview of what your teeth, jaws, and facial bones look like. Panoramic X-rays are useful for oral surgery procedures like tooth extraction and dental implant placement. However, they are not useful for diagnosing dental cavities. While very useful for many procedures, Panoramic X-rays are not a substitute to traditional radiographs for diagnosing cavities.
Jaw Surgery
This is reserved for the absolute worse case TMJ pains. If your TMJ pain does not respond to other treatment modalities, then a more aggressive approach may be required. You can perform
Gum Surgery
It’s normal to experience minor hot, cold, or sweet sensitivity after treatment. This is because your tissue shrinks following gum surgery and your root surfaces become exposed. If this happens, try using a fluoride or desensitizing toothpaste throughout the healing process. If sensitivity persists or worsens, call your dentist to have it further evaluated.
Tooth Extractions
You will experience some pain and swelling after tooth extraction. Pain level varies based on the complexity of the surgery, the condition of your body, the thickness of your jawbone, etc. Here are a few additional tips to help you recover from your surgery...
Bone Grafting
We explained the benefit of adding the two extra implants. Since the patient did not need additional bone grafting, the cost difference was nominal. The patient wisely decided to place 6 dental implants to support his Zirconia bridge.

Invisalign Orthodontics
Braces
Interproximal cleaners are also useful when you're wearing braces on your teeth. Cleaning your teeth with brackets and wires can be difficult and challenging. Using an interproximal cleaner can really make a difference since flossing is not a viable option during braces treatment. Talk to your orthodontist to see if they recommend that you use an interproximal brush throughout your braces treatment.

Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening, is the most effective way to whiten your smile. The next 48 hours are very important in maintaining your whitening results. Our teeth have a protective layer called the
