Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Regular checkups include a thorough cleansing, polishing, and an oral exam by the doctor. During the oral exam, your doctor will check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue, and will check your existing fillings and restorations because constant pressure from chewing, grinding, or clenching can cause them to wear away, chip, or crack. Regular checkup appointments typically take about 60 minutes. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately.
• X-rays
  At your first visit with Drs. Hamed and Moezi, we start in the waiting room. Our friendly front office team will welcome you to the office and provide you with paperwork to complete. This paperwork will review your medical and dental history to get a good idea of what our team will need to evaluate and treat. You are then taken back to your room, and our dental team will take a series of dental x-rays to assess the teeth and jawbone.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  We start with a dental cleaning, referred to as prophylaxis or a “prophy,” during which our hygienists will thoroughly remove plaque, tartar, and even hardened calculus from the surfaces of the teeth and gums. They may also make note of any concerns seen when cleaning and polishing the teeth. They can educate you on maintaining oral hygiene with home care, including brushing and flossing.
• Fluoride Treatment
  At Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry in Vacaville, California, Drs. Shirin Hamed and Reza Moezi are dedicated to helping patients find ways to prevent tooth decay and protect their smiles from periodontal disease and cavities. For many, preventative dentistry is a way to prevent cavities from developing. One treatment, known as fluoride treatment or SDF dental treatment, plays a vital role in protecting the teeth from damage. We are pleased to offer this service to patients who want to avoid cavities and strengthen their natural teeth with fluoride applications.
• Dental Sealants
  Fluoride is actually a natural mineral that helps to strengthen the enamel of our teeth. It works in dentistry by forming a protective layer on the surface of our teeth. This layer acts as a shield, similar to a dental sealant, helping to reduce the risk of bacteria attacking and causing decay. While it doesn’t replace daily brushing and flossing, it can be an extra step of protection to prevent dental problems in the future.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  When you undergo an evaluation with Drs. Hamed and Moezi, you will start with a physical examination of the natural teeth to determine if composite resin is a viable option. Then, preparations are made to the natural tooth to create a rough surface for the composite resin to adhere to. The resin is then placed, cured, and finished to complete the process. All of this happens in a single appointment, allowing patients a fast, affordable, and easy way to enhance their smiles in a way that will last several years with proper care.
• Veneers
• Crowns
  Tooth decay. When a tooth has severe decay, a crown may be used after removing the decayed parts of the tooth to restore its structure and function.
• Bridges
  When missing or extracted teeth are an issue within the mouth, patients must be conscious of replacing these teeth in a timely manner. Dental bridges are just one solution available at Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry. Drs. Shirin Hamed and Reza Moezi of Vacaville, California, speak with patients who are good candidates for dental bridges to help them understand what they are and how they work to restore function, health, and beauty to the smile after tooth loss or extraction.
• Dental Bonding
  Fixing imperfections of the smile, especially those affecting the front teeth, may be easier than you might realize! Drs. Shirin Hamed and Reza Moezi of Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry encourage you to call the office and schedule a consultation appointment to find out if you are a good candidate for composite bonding.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal therapy. After this procedure, a crown is often placed over a treated tooth to protect it from fractures and further damage.

Periodontics

• Periodontal Surgery
• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Alternatively, dental implants can also be used to anchor in dental bridges or stabilize full cosmetic dentures. This makes them a reliable option for patients who need to place a bridge but don’t have both adjacent teeth to support them or who have been unhappy with traditional full dentures using denture adhesives. This makes the dentures strong and comfortable for patients with substantial tooth loss.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants, or titanium implants, are commonly considered to be a highly sought-after solution for patients who have experienced tooth loss. Whether extracted, knocked out, or lost due to disease and dental resorption, our team at Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry of Vacaville, California, can assist in restoring function, beauty, and health to the smile using implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Many patients are curious about dental implants, what they are, and how they work. Dental implants are described by Drs. Shirin Hamad and Reza Moezi as posts that are fabricated from biocompatible materials like titanium metal or zirconia. They look like small hardware screws and are placed by our team during oral surgery into the bone of the jaw. Once in place, they stimulate the natural production of bone around it, known as a process called osseointegration. Osseointegration is what allows the tooth to become “one” with the jawbone, offering the strength, stability, and durability needed for long-term, permanent tooth replacement.
• Gum Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  The wisdom teeth, referred to as the third molars, are notorious for causing problems in many individuals. These teeth usually erupt between the ages of 16 and 25 but can also appear later or not at all. These molars often cause issues because they often do not have enough room to emerge properly. Most patient’s jaws are too small to accommodate these extra teeth, which results in them becoming impacted (stuck under the gum line) or growing sideways. With these issues in mind, it is important to work with a dentist in Vacaville, California, who provides dental extractions. Wisdom tooth extraction is a standard procedure performed by Drs. Shirin Hamed and Reza Moezi of Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry and can be completed in one of two ways.

  Over 2,000,000 people are smiling brighter thanks to the Invisalign system. See how just a few of their lives have changed with Invisalign.
• Braces
  “I’m so glad I made the investment to go with aligners rather than metal braces. I’ve heard stories of people having food stuck in their metal braces, and I didn’t want to go through that. It’s so easy — all I have to do is remove my aligners when I eat.”

General

• Teeth Whitening
  There are many products and techniques available for patients who want to achieve a whiter smile, and with so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the method that is right for you.
