Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  A short-term treatment or examination for what may be a larger problem. When you seek quick fixes rather than comprehensive examinations and long-term treatment plans.
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  In addition to regular brushing and flossing at home, routine dental cleanings by our hygienists remove a build-up of bacteria, what is called biofilm, to keep your teeth their sparkling best. As these cleanings clear away this harmful biofilm, plaque, and tartar build-up under the gumline, we treat and prevent a variety of problems including tooth decay and gum and bone infections. Consistent dental cleanings keep your teeth and gums healthy and can actually aid in the reduction of your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and low birth weight babies.
• Fluoride Treatment

Restorative

• Fillings
  Low levels of mercury vapor are released over the course of the filling’s lifetime, although the amount of vapor released goes up when chewing, drinking hot or cold beverages, or grinding your teeth. A high level of exposure to mercury vapor has been linked to brain and kidney conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or multiple sclerosis. If you’re thinking about removing your amalgam fillings, Dr. Ladani can review with you his holistic approach to fillings.
• Resin Composite
  Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
• Veneers
  Veneers: Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth. They can correct various imperfections, including chips, cracks, and gaps, providing a durable and natural-looking solution.
• Crowns
  Whether you are missing a single tooth due to genetics, an accident, or an oral health problem, Dr. Ladani can pair a dental implant with a dental crown to maintain your oral health. In this case, he will place the dental implant into the socket left by your missing tooth. If you are undergoing treatment long after you lost the tooth, he will need to create space for the implant.
• Bridges
  If you are missing two or more teeth in a row, a dental bridge is the best restoration option. A bridge consists of two or more prosthetic teeth that are fused together to replace a span of missing teeth. Unlike a dental crown, a bridge does not require a 1:1 dental implant ratio. We can typically use fewer implants than there are replacement teeth to hold your bridge in place.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Yes. Assuming you make monthly payments on your dental implants or other restorative dentistry treatments, you can potentially pay off your dental care or implant treatment with no interest. Usually, there is a minimum monthly payment required.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Dental insurance is designed to offset the costs of preventive, basic, and major dental care. Unlike general health insurance, dental insurance is often a separate policy, providing coverage for a range of dental services. Most plans cover routine check-ups, cleanings, and X-rays, while more comprehensive policies may include restorative procedures like fillings, root canals, and even orthodontic treatments.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  During your professional cleaning, we will remove plaque buildup and tartar from your teeth and their roots, and then polish your teeth and treat them with fluoride. Any periodontal pockets that have formed could require deep cleaning to enable healing. A deep-cleaning method called scaling and root planing will help scrape off tartar and remove any rough spots on the tooth root where bacteria tend to gather.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth and adjacent tissue. Made of resin and porcelain, complete dentures are used to replace all teeth. When some healthy teeth remain, a partial denture can be used. A partial denture also keeps the remaining, healthy teeth from shifting in the mouth.
• Overdentures
  An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is supported by and attached to implants. A regular denture rests on the gums, and is not supported by implants.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental Implants offer the best return on investment if you have missing teeth. At Extraordinary Smiles we believe in making your treatment a reality. We offer flexible dental implant payment plans and financing options for our patients undergoing tooth replacement therapy.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  After oral surgery, a little bit of pain and discomfort is only natural. It should be most noticeable in the first day or so after the surgery, with improvements from there on as you heal.
• Flap Surgery
  If inflammation persists in sites that are inaccessible to brushing and flossing, Dr. Ladani may recommend a surgical procedure called flap surgery to clean deposits under your gums. Under anesthesia, your gums are lifted away, and the roots of your teeth cleaned. Your gums are then sutured (stitched) back into place.
• Tooth Extractions
  A dental extraction (also referred to as tooth extraction, exodontia, exodontics, or informally, tooth pulling) is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone.
• Bone Grafting
  If you’ve had any bone loss, a procedure known as bone grafting may be done at the same time as flap surgery to regenerate the lost bone.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease, or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with toothache. Sometimes wisdom teeth are impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and may cause recurrent infections of the gum (pericoronitis). In orthodontics if the teeth are crowded, sound teeth may be extracted (often bicuspids) to create space so the rest of the teeth can be straightened.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Choosing to straighten your teeth is a big decision that affects not only your appearance, but your lifestyle as well. Dr. Ladani is a Certified Invisalign® Provider.
• Braces
  The iTero Element is an optical impression system (CAD/CAM) used to record topographical images of teeth and oral tissue. Data generated from iTero may be used in conjunction with the production of dental devices (e.g. aligners, braces, appliances, etc.) and accessories.

General
