Routine Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams include cavity detection, gum disease screening, and oral cancer checks using digital x-rays and intraoral photography. Dr. Shirin provides personalized education about your dental health while addressing concerns with clear explanations. Regular biannual visits enable early detection of potential issues, allowing minimally invasive treatments that preserve natural tooth structure through preventive care strategies.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
This advanced teeth cleaning method uses ultrasonic technology to remove plaque and tartar buildup more effectively than traditional tools. Our preventive approach focuses on maintaining gum health through scaling and root planing when needed, combined with patient education about proper home care techniques. The process helps prevent periodontal disease while promoting fresher breath and brighter smiles through thorough yet gentle treatment.
Tooth Fillings
We use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend naturally with your smile while restoring damaged teeth. Early cavity detection allows minimally invasive treatments that preserve maximum healthy tooth structure. The bonding process creates durable restorations that withstand normal chewing forces while improving both function and aesthetics without the visible metal associated with traditional amalgam fillings.
Dentures
Custom-crafted dentures replace missing teeth to restore both function and appearance. We offer full and partial dentures designed to fit comfortably in your mouth while providing natural-looking results. Our process includes proper fitting and adjustment periods to ensure optimal comfort, along with guidance about proper care techniques that maintain your dentures' appearance and functionality for years of confident smiling and comfortable eating.
Occlusal Guards
Custom-fitted occlusal guards protect teeth from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding). Our personalized approach addresses individual bite patterns to create comfortable, effective protection that prevents enamel wear and jaw pain. The fabrication process ensures proper fit while educating patients about managing stress-related grinding habits that threaten long-term dental health through customized solutions that promote better sleep and oral protection.

Questions
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
Our cleanings are gentle and comfortable. Regular cleanings take about 20 minutes while deep cleanings use local anesthesia for your comfort.
Why is oral health important?
Oral health connects directly to overall health. Poor dental care can lead to systemic issues while regular checkups help prevent both oral and general health problems.
What toothbrush should I use?
Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush that fits your mouth comfortably. Replace it every three months and focus on proper brushing technique rather than brand.
Why is flossing necessary?
Flossing removes plaque between teeth where brushes can't reach, preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while reducing risks for heart disease and diabetes complications.
What if I have a broken tooth?
Contact us immediately for broken teeth. Temporary care includes pain relief and protecting sharp edges while we schedule emergency treatment ranging from bonding to crowns.
How can I treat bad breath?
Improve brushing and flossing habits, clean your tongue, stay hydrated, and visit regularly for professional cleanings. Persistent issues may indicate underlying health conditions requiring medical evaluation.
