Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  At our practice, we will make you undergo a dental examination and radiograph to know if you need white fillings. Should the result turn out positive, we advise you to schedule an immediate appointment to keep away any infection that could destroy the nerves in your teeth. This implies that time is of the essence, and whatever needs to be done should be done as fast as possible.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  The best treatment for gingivitis (or gum disease) is prevention. Prevention starts with great dental hygiene, which includes brushing twice daily and flossing once per day. Regular six-month dental cleanings and checkups are also imperative for your dental health. Unfortunately, sometimes, even despite our best efforts, we get gingivitis. Once you have gingivitis, it can only be corrected with special tools at the dentist. If you are experiencing gum pain or bleeding, give us a call today. Our skilled staff will get your teeth and gums healthy again and give you a treatment plan so that you can have a long-lasting, healthy smile.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  A tooth filling can repair your broken, decayed or damaged tooth. This quick and painless method can be performed during an emergency to prevent further damage and restore tooth function. The fitting is made of strong material like amalgam or composite resin and then molded and shaped to match the color of natural teeth.
• Veneers
  Veneers are a thin porcelain shell that covers your teeth and can hide a multitude of imperfections. You may be a candidate for veneers if you have discolored, chipped, cracked, worn, or gapped teeth. Mid-Wilshire Dental Care offers both veneers and Lumineers in their Los Angeles dental office.
• Crowns
  Our doctor and team are experts at preparing and installing dental crowns, so do not fear - they will make your dental crown treatment pain-free.
• Bridges
  Dental bridges create a literal bridge over missing teeth or gaps. Dental implants are used to replace a missing tooth. They consist of a titanium screw that is set in the jaw bone that has a dental crown on top, mimicking a natural tooth. Inlays and onlays restore the surfaces of the tooth and bonding can restore and reshape front teeth. No matter what your needs are, Dr. Bijan Afar can help. Give us a call today so we can go over all of your dental options and help you smile with confidence.
• Dental Bonding
  Dental crowns are placed in two visits. During your first visit, the dentist will numb your tooth and remove the decay from the tooth. Once all of the decay is gone, the tooth will be shaped, cleaned, and prepared for an impression. An impression is taken so that a mold can be sent to the lab. The crown is crafted in our dental lab, and once it is finished, you will return for your second visit. During your second visit, the dental crown is secured with dental bonding to your tooth. Dental crowns are a great option to treat and strengthen your smile. If you have a broken or decayed tooth, give us a call to see if a dental crown may be the treatment for you. Our doctor and team at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care are experts at crown placement, so you can rest assured that you will receive the best treatment at the most affordable price.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Despite our best efforts, at some point people may need restoration for a tooth. Restorative dentistry corrects or fixes damaged or missing teeth. Cavity fillings is the least invasive teeth restoration technique. Fillings don’t have particular base material.

Endodontics

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  The first defense against gum disease that we offer is scaling and planing. Simply put, this is a deep cleaning that goes below the gum lines to remove excess plaque build-up. If this doesn’t work, surgery may be required with gum tissue grafting. We also offer laser gum therapy, which helps to remove inflamed tissue. If you are concerned that you may have signs of gum disease, it is important to make an appointment as soon as possible. Gum disease is serious - but help is only a phone call away. Give us a call today so that Dr. Bijan Afar can get you started with your personalized treatment plan.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A denture is a dental appliance made to replace missing teeth that can be removed. If you are missing all of your teeth, complete dentures will be used. If you are missing a portion of your teeth, then a partial will be used. Dentures have been around for many, many years and have come a long way since their ancient ancestors. Modern dentures are strong and, with proper care, can last for a very long time. The skilled staff at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care is excited to help you restore your smile with dentures.

• Bone Grafting
  Bone Grafting: If a bone graft is necessary, it will be placed during the first surgical appointment and then allowed to heal.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Orthodontic dentistry treats and corrects misaligned teeth and jaws. If a jaw isn’t working correctly, it can cause serious pain, including headaches and TMD. If teeth are misaligned, it can lead to decay, cavities, disease, and infection. In addition to poor oral health, crooked or gapped teeth can cause people to hide their smiles and result in lower confidence and poor self-esteem. Dr. Bijan Afar and the orthodontic team at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care are skilled and educated in all types of orthodontic treatment. If you think you may be in need of orthodontics, give us a call to set up a consultation today.

• Braces
  “I have long regretted not getting braces when I was a teenager. For many years, I have been hiding my smile or smiling with my mouth shut. Now, I am in my thirties and I thought that I was too old for braces. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Jacobson, so I decided to stop by Mid-Wilshire Dental Care and talk to them about my dental options. Can you believe it? Many of their orthodontic patients are older than I am. I decided to give it a try and it didn’t disappoint. I got my braces removed about three months ago and I can’t stop smiling. No matter how old you are - give Dr. Jacobson a call. Braces are for everyone!”
