General dentists are trained to provide treatment to almost all types of common dental concerns. Dr. Sepehri has been practicing dentistry for over two decades and brings her vast experience to the table while treating her patients. We also provide family dental services as we offer treatment to all family members, irrespective of their age. Oral health and aesthetics go hand-in-hand, as both of them are equally important. Having a great smile but poor oral health, or vice versa, isn’t good enough. This is why an entire branch of dentistry is dedicated to improving the appearance of one’s smile. Cosmetic dentistry in Tigard, OR includes several treatment procedures that are mainly intended to improve the aesthetics of the smile. Some of them include dental crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, teeth whitening, composite bonding, tooth-colored fillings, inlays, onlays, gum contouring, etc.
Root canal infection occurs when the pulp of a tooth gets infected by the microbes in the mouth. This can happen due to a cavity, damaged tooth, or any other oral infection. We would get rid of the infected pulp and apply a restoration on the tooth to save it.
It is not a given that we must lose teeth as we age. If we maintain good oral hygiene and have regular professional cleanings and oral examinations, chances are we can keep our natural teeth for life. That involves not only caring for the teeth themselves but also the structures that surround them: the gums and tooth-supporting bone. Gum disease, which is a bacterial infection, threatens these supporting tissues. That is why dental professionals are always on the lookout for early signs that patients may not notice. When signs of trouble become apparent, periodontal therapy may be suggested.
Your child won't keep his or her first teeth forever, but that doesn't mean those tiny pearly whites don't need conscientious care. Maintaining your child's dental health now will provide health benefits well into adulthood, as primary (baby) teeth serve some extremely important functions. For one thing, primary teeth serve as guides for the eruption of permanent (adult) teeth, holding the space into which these new teeth will erupt. The crowns (tops) of the permanent teeth actually push against the roots of the baby teeth, causing them to resorb, or melt away. In this way, the adult teeth can take their proper place.
Nightguards are used to protect the teeth from excessive wear due to an oral condition called bruxism. The teeth could undergo severe wear due to clenching the jaw or grinding the teeth. The night guard prevents contact between teeth from either jaw, thereby eliminating teeth wear and applying stress on the muscles around the TMJ.
A sports guard or an athletic guard in Tigard, OR is an oral appliance used to protect the teeth from external trauma while indulging in sports. The guard distributes the forces equally among the teeth, thereby preventing cracks or fractures to them. Athletes ought to get a customized sports guard to protect their teeth while indulging in sports for superior protection.
Oral cleaning comprises two procedures, namely scaling and root planing. We perform scaling to remove plaque and tartar from the tooth crowns, and root planing is done to clean the tooth roots. They are preventive procedures used to keep cavities and gum diseases away.
Sedation is a significant part of dentistry. Many patients could feel too anxious to visit the dentist, fearing the procedures could be painful and time-consuming. However, this isn’t true. We suggest mild sedation in the form of nitrous oxide, which is a gaseous sedative. For more complicated procedures, such as dental implants, gum grafting, etc. we would suggest deeper sedation to prevent pain and discomfort.
⚠️ Notice: We do offer dental implant services. Recently, third parties have promoted “free implants” tied to fake insurance. Our pages labeled “Guide” are informational only—we never sell insurance or request payment for such programs. If someone claims otherwise, please contact us.
