Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Teeth whitening is a low-risk procedure, and therefore it is suitable for a wide range of patients. Candidates for teeth whitening typically have mild to moderate discoloration, and have a desire to improve their smile and restore a brighter appearance to their teeth. Your first step would be to schedule a consultation at Arden Park Dental Care and get a full oral examination to determine whether teeth whitening will work well for you.
• X-rays
  When considering dental implants, our team always takes a series of dental x-rays to evaluate the structures that may affect dental implant placement. If the sinus cavities are lower and a dental implant needs to be inserted in the upper arch, it may require this procedure to continue.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  When you visit a dental office for a routine cleaning and evaluation, you are taking the proper steps to maintain a healthy smile. However, if you have been diagnosed with conditions such as periodontal disease, you may require a special type of cleaning to combat the infection and control oral health. Medicated dental cleanings are offered at Arden Park Dental Care of Sacramento, California, and can be used to address periodontal disease over time. Medicated cleanings are an excellent way to manage the infection in the mouth and control it with time to keep the smile as healthy as possible!
• Fluoride Treatment
  Taking care of our teeth, like brushing and flossing daily, can lead to loss of essential minerals from the tooth’s enamel. This can lead to tooth decay. Through remineralization, fluoride treatment helps your teeth resist acid attacks that could result from sugar and plaque bacteria present inside your mouth. If you take your fluoride treatment on time, early decay can even be effectively treated and reversed.
• Dental Sealants
  Believe it or not, but even those people who regularly follow a healthy dental routine can be susceptible to tooth decay and cavities. In fact, your risk of getting dental cavities is more dependent on the structure and shape of your teeth than your eating habits. Some people may be naturally more prone to dental caries (tooth decay) despite practicing good oral hygiene, owing to an unusual dental structure and setup. However, at Arden Park Dental Care we offer the latest dental technologies such as dental sealants to help our cavity-prone customers lead a healthy and trouble-free lifestyle when it comes to their oral health.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Dr. Formoli describes inlays and onlays as dental restorations that repair tooth damage. They are durable, long-lasting, and offer a natural-looking solution for adult teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. An inlay is a type of restoration placed within a tooth’s surface. It is custom-made from porcelain or composite resin material to fit the exact shape and size of the damaged area. Alternatively, an onlay covers a larger portion of the tooth and extends over one or more of its cusps (points).
• Veneers
  Veneers/Lumineers – Certain imperfections, such as permanent staining or chipped teeth, can be easily covered with veneers or Lumineers. These are thin ceramic facings that bond onto the front of a tooth to disguise specific issues of the smile quickly and easily.
• Crowns
  Dental restorations are a common way of addressing certain concerns regarding one or more teeth in the smile. This includes situations where damage has occurred to a natural tooth. While most dentists will immediately place a dental crown, Dr. Shahnaz L. Formoli and her team at Arden Park Dental Care in Sacramento, California, will always consider more conservative options whenever possible. For some patients, she may recommend a tooth inlay or onlay, which can provide restoration of the tooth with far less tooth structure removed for placement.
• Bridges
  Bridges – With dental bridges, patients can restore their smile after tooth loss with a porcelain restoration that looks like natural teeth.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A root canal, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental treatment that a dentist administers to a patient in order to repair a tooth that is severely infected or damaged, especially in the pulp or soft core of the tooth. The infected pulp is a result of a deep cavity, a cracked or broken tooth, or excessive trauma. At Arden Park Dental Care, Dr. Shahnaz Formoli is one of the most experienced professionals in root canals. She makes use of this treatment to examine, identify the cause of and effectively treat any damage that may have occurred to your dental pulp. Previously, a tooth with an injured or infected pulp had to almost always be removed to prevent any further damage. However, with advancements in the field of dental science, root canal treatment has been developed so dentists can save teeth without having to remove them.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Hi, my name is Jalyn Jose. I came to Arden Park Dental Care about a year ago now. And at first, I just came in for Invisalign. I’ve always been insecure about my teeth. I had a lot of crowding, but when I got here, they didn’t just give me Invisalign. They also did deep cleaning too. And now my gums were a lot healthier than they were a year ago. And after my Invisalign treatment, I still wanted my teeth to look even better. So, I went ahead and did a minimally invasive veneer treatment. And this is my final product, and I’m very happy. And it honestly took a whole year. And I can’t thank Dr. Formoli for all that she’s done, and it was a great process. So, I highly recommend it. You will leave satisfied every time. Thank you.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  In addition to providing you the ideal smile, the Snap-On Smile also works wonders as an amazing alternative for partial dentures without the unsightly clasps.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  At Arden Park Dental Care, we know that the placement of dental implants may require the replacement of bone loss that might occur along with the tooth loss. However, for dental implants to succeed, they need enough bone structure to secure them. In some instances, the sinus cavities may be in the way, especially for dental implants on the upper dental arch. This may require a dentist to perform a sinus lift.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Flap Surgery
  Surgical options like gum grafts or flap surgery. These are often required for more advanced cases where significant gum tissue damage occurs.
• Gum Surgery
  Infected and inflamed gum tissue is a different color from the healthy gum tissue. Because of the difference in color, the unwanted tissue absorbs light differently from healthy gums. Taking advantage of this principle the wavelength of the laser can be adjusted so that only the unhealthy tissue gets affected and the healthy tissue is left unharmed. During gum surgery, lasers can be used to remove infected tissue and also seal blood vessels. Certain wavelengths of the laser can make gum tissue sticky which causes it to start regenerating and healing. Oral nerves can also be regenerated in this way.
• Tooth Extractions
  There are situations that may arise in which you require the removal of a natural tooth. At Arden Park Dental Care in Sacramento, California, Dr. Shahnaz L. Formoli and her team are dedicated to providing the care patients need when they need it. This includes simple, surgical, and emergency dental extractions.
• Bone Grafting
  Tooth loss and extraction can cause more than just removing a natural adult tooth. It might also result in bone loss in the jaw. Because the jaw no longer has a tooth to hold in place, dental resorption can occur. This is when the jawbone around where the tooth once was begins to deteriorate. Fortunately, there are ways to maintain the bone in the area, and this includes bone grafting.
