Opalescence Boost features a unique, chemically activated formula that allows your dentist to whiten your teeth without the bothersome heat or ultraviolet rays of a light. Opalescence Boost also contains potassium nitrate and fluoride , which help to improve oral health by strengthening enamel, decreasing sensitivity, and offering increased cavity prevention.

Is your smile marred by chipped, worn, or misshapen front teeth? Dr. Kashani transforms flawed teeth and creates picture-perfect smiles with custom-made porcelain veneers. In as few as three visits, you can have the smile of your dreams!

Porcelain veneers are high-quality, handcrafted dental restorations created specifically for your unique smile. They're made of thin layers of fine dental porcelain that cover teeth to mask imperfections. Your veneers will reflect light like natural tooth enamel to deliver a completely realistic look and feel. Because veneers are a permanent dental solution, some enamel reduction is required to ensure a custom fit.

Call our Laguna Hills dental office today to schedule your porcelain veneers consultation with Dr. Kashani. We offer comprehensive care and personalized service for magnificent smiles.

Take Your Smile From Average to Dazzling with Porcelain Veneers

Many people desire a brighter, cleaner, more attractive smile, but have chipped, stained, discolored, unevenly spaced, or even slightly crooked front teeth. If this sounds like you, we will be glad to help evaluate your specific situation, listen to the exact changes you have in mind, and show you examples of the end result, before any treatment is performed.Often, porcelain veneers can provide a completely improved and dazzling smile in just a few appointments.

The actual treatment usually involves only two visits. The number of pre-operative visits, to work out details to insure predictable results, depends on the complexity of your situation and the changes you desire. There usually is a follow up visit or two for final adjustments and polishing, and to review instructions for care of your new smile to insure it lasts years and years.

Most adults who want straighter teeth dislike the idea of embarrassing and uncomfortable metal braces. We have a solution: Invisalign. Dr. Kashani is a certified Invisalign dentist who uses this revolutionary form of orthodontia to create beautiful, healthy smiles.

Invisalign involves a series of clear, acrylic aligners that gradually and comfortably move teeth into their ideal position. The aligners are removable, so they're easy to clean and provide flexibility not offered with traditional metal braces. Take your aligners out to eat a meal and brush your teeth, or for special occasions. To create your custom aligners, your Invisalign dentist will take an impression of your smile and send it to the Invisalign lab. We'll check your progress every few weeks and send you home with the next set of aligners in your series. Invisalign puts a terrific new smile within reach!

Call our Laguna Hills dental office today to schedule your Invisalign consultation with Dr. Kashani, a certified Invisalign dentist. We offer comprehensive care and personalized service for magnificent smiles.

Invisalign is the “invisible” way to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable custom-made aligners to move your teeth. Because you remove your aligners before you eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing. This technology is also more comfortable, avoiding the mouth abrasions that can be caused by the metal and wires of conventional braces. And this technology is also more convenient, since you are likely to spend less time in the doctor’s office getting adjustments.

Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to design the complete treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning to the desired final positioning. This 3-D imaging allows you to preview the final positioning of your teeth before you start treatment. Custom-made aligners are created based on the imaging information. Each of these aligners moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about 2 weeks. Typically, you will visit your dentist once every 6 weeks for “progress reports.” Not every situation can be treated with Invisalign, so call the office to get an evaluation to see if you can be helped with this new technology.

If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned, or otherwise imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic dentistry restoration, we may suggest one-appointment bonding. The dentist can apply liquid composite resin, shaded to blend with your tooth's color, to rebuild a pleasing shape to your tooth. After hardening the resin with a curing light, she will artistically sculpt and polish the restoration. In just one visit, you can enjoy a beautiful new smile! Cosmetic bonding can be a viable, affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, but it lasts only 5 to 10 years with proper care. Bonding will not discolor as your natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up teeth whitening may be required to keep your natural teeth the same shade as the bonded area.

Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign, orthodontics, replacement teeth - so many options exist to help people achieve the smile of their dreams. As a cosmetic dentistry practice, our team can help you determine which treatments will give you the smile you've always wanted. In fact, we encourage patients to bring photos of some of their favorite celebrity smiles so that we can pinpoint attributes to incorporate in a smile makeover plan. The dentist will examine your oral health, discuss your vision of a gorgeous smile, and study the dynamics of your face, mouth, and skin tone.

We can then plan a smile makeover to suit your personality and unique style. The dentist will explain your options and show you (with a computer image, before-and-after photos, or a wax model) the potential results of the proposed treatment plan. Your input will help us determine how to give you the smile you want. The time involved in your smile makeover will be directly determined by the procedures you decide upon.

Our administrative team can help you with creative scheduling and financing. We believe that everyone deserves a sensational smile, and we'll work with you to make sure you get it! Call our Laguna Hills office to reserve your smile makeover consultation with our cosmetic dentist today.

The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist at least twice each year for a checkup. At your checkup, we will inspect your soft tissues for oral cancer, periodontal disease {Periodontal Therapy}, and other problems. The dentist will also look at each tooth in your mouth to assess problems like tooth decay or cracks, as well as old dental work. Sometimes old dental work wears out and needs to be replaced. We will be happy to replace metal fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns {Restorative Dentistry} with tooth-colored alternatives.

By looking for trouble every six months, we can often reduce your potential for large dental problems. For instance, left untreated, a small cavity can grow to destroy an entire tooth and spread to surrounding teeth. A cracked tooth can cause pain or break off and create additional problems. Furthermore, advanced gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss for American adults, and oral cancer causes more than 7500 deaths each year. Caught and treated early, these diseases can be controlled.

If you have not scheduled a checkup lately, be sure to call our Laguna Hills Dental office now to make your appointment! Children as young as two should visit the dentist, and by age four or five, a child should attend regular checkups.

Up to 80% of the population has some form of periodontal disease, or gum disease. Left untreated, this destructive bacterial infection can cause gum, bone, and tooth loss. Periodontal disease has also been linked to serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Dr. Kashani uses non-surgical therapies to alleviate the symptoms of periodontal disease and prevent future damage.

Early-stage periodontal disease, or gingivitis, may cause red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush. We treat gingivitis with a deep cleaning and instruction on proper oral hygiene and home care. Moderate cases of periodontal disease often respond well to antibiotic therapy. If your periodontal disease is severe, Dr. Kashani may recommend the services of a trusted periodontist to provide the specialized care you deserve.

Call our Laguna Hills dental office today to schedule your periodontal disease assessment with Dr. Kashani. We offer comprehensive care and personalized service for magnificent smiles.

Tooth decay affects people of all ages. Left untreated, decay only worsens and may compromise overall health. Dr. Kashani esthetically restores decayed teeth with tooth-colored composite resin fillings.At your checkup, Dr. Kashani will inspect your existing dental work for wear and your teeth for cavities. If you need a new filling or you want metal ones replaced, Dr. Kashani may use Waterlase laser to gently prepare your tooth for restoration. She'll tint a small amount of composite resin to match your natural tooth color and bond it into your prepared cavity. The result is a, attractive tooth that can stay strong and health for years to come.

Dr. Kashani may suggest an inlay or onlay if your tooth's decay is too large for a filling but doesn't require a full crown. Inlays and onlays are made of porcelain or composite resin to strengthen and protect teeth while blending seamlessly with your existing smile.

Waterlase Dentistry uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water to perform a wide range of dental procedures – without the heat, vibration, and pressure associated with the dental drill. With many procedures, it’s possible to use less anesthetic, and often no anesthetic at all. Not using anesthetic can allow your dentist to perform procedures that used to require more than one visit in a single appointment. Also, a Waterlase Dentist can perform procedures that once meant an additional trip to a specialist, saving you even more time. If you require any treatments that are good candidates for this procedure, we will certainly let you know.

Cracked, worn, or severely decayed teeth can detract from your appearance and make eating uncomfortable. At Laguna Hills Dental Arts, Dr. Kashani applies custom crowns to restore strength and beauty to compromised teeth

A crown fits snugly atop a natural tooth to renew structural integrity and deliver long-lasting durability. Dr. Kashani places gold, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and all-porcelain crowns. A number of factors will dictate which material to use. Porcelain crowns match existing tooth color and provide an esthetically pleasing and natural-looking restoration, so Dr. Kashani prefers white crowns on front teeth.Dr. Kashani also crowns teeth to anchor fixed bridges, which are dental appliances that contain prosthetic teeth to fill gaps in smiles.

If you need replacement teeth but don't like the idea of a removable prosthetic, then you'll want to learn more about dental implants. Our staff include skilled implant specialists with extensive training and experience in using dental implants to rejuvenate smiles and return oral comfort, function, and appearance.

Many of our patients prefer dental implants to other prosthetics because of their completely natural look and feel. A dental implant consists of a replacement root topped with a custom crown. If you qualify for dental implants, Our implant specialist will insert tiny titanium posts in your jaw, one for each implant or a few to secure a denture, partial, or fixed bridges {Crown and Bridgework}. Once the implant is inserted, Dr. Kashani will oversee your dental restoration and secure crowns or a prosthetic atop the dental implants to complete your smile.

When permanent teeth are lost, regardless of the reason or number of teeth, dental implants can offer a “new lease on life.” They are superior to other choices because they are solid, secure, and esthetic. After nearly 35 years of use, they have a 90-95% proven success rate in appropriately chosen cases.

A dental implant is a special surgical grade titanium post, manufactured to highly precise specifications, under strict sterile conditions, that is inserted surgically into the jawbone below the gum surface. With proper use of the newest anesthetics and medications you need not be concerned about pain. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation onto which your new teeth are then attached and shaped to match your mouth. The number of teeth being replaced will determine the best kind of restoration for you. Dental implants can help replace a single tooth, or a full set of teeth. If you have been suffering with partial or full dentures, or are missing teeth, or feel you need teeth extracted, do not hesitate to call to be evaluated for dental implants.

Onlays: Onlays are used for large restorations. They restore the area inside the cusp and extend over one or more sides of the tooth. Because of their size they are usually made of porcelain.Inlays: These are used to restore the area of tooth inside the cusps. Inlays are a conservative tooth restoration which means they require far less drilling and preparation of the tooth than a metal filling. Inlays are usually made of porcelain or composite resin, making them “invisible” in your smile.

Onlays and inlays are created in a dental laboratory from an impression of your teeth. Any shrinkage of the device occurs in the lab and is accounted for when cemented. Large fillings {Tooth-Colored Fillings} can shrink and be at greater risk for breakdown and tooth sensitivity. The final result will fit perfectly with surrounding teeth and can be as strong as a natural tooth.

For years there has been debate in the dental profession regarding the pros and cons of using silver amalgam fillings, which contain about 50% mercury, to restore cavities. While it has not been proven scientifically mercury can harm you, we have chosen to not use silver amalgam/mercury fillings, as the technology involved with them is well over 100 years old. There are also several drawbacks to them, which can cause trouble for teeth with silver fillings.

At Laguna Hills Dental Arts we prefer to provide our patients with the newest and best alternatives available, which are bonded ceramic composite resins. Not only do they look natural, they provide a much better service and protection for your teeth, as they eliminate all the shortcomings of the old fashioned silver fillings. They seal the teeth better, insulate against hot and cold better, and if they wear down they can be repaired more easily. Many people who are undergoing a cosmetic improvement on their front teeth elect to have dark silver fillings in their back teeth replaced with the bonded ceramic resins to provide a total cosmetic improvement. Please call the office if you want to look into replacing any of your old, unsightly silver fillings

A Stable Solution that Renews Your Smile If you’ve lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a permanent bridge to restore your solid smile. A bridge not only fills the gap, but it also prevents repositioning of remaining teeth. It can also correct a misaligned bite, improve chewing function and speech articulation, and provide internal structure for the face to give you a more youthful appearance.

What is a Fixed Bridge?

First of all, a bridge is a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) that attaches on one or both sides to teeth prepared with dental crowns. A fixed bridge is permanently joined onto the neighboring abutment teeth (crowned teeth) and consists of three basic units: the false tooth or teeth (called a pontic) and two abutment crowns. The style of bridge we suggest will depend upon the strength and health the abutment teeth, as well as the location of the gap in relation to the rest of your dentition. If healthy adjacent abutment teeth aren't available, a surgically-implanted metal post, known as a dental implant, may offer a solid alternative. For a bridge that replaces many teeth, we may recommend a removable partial denture or implant-supported prosthesis. With proper care, a fixed bridge may last at least 8 to10 years

If you have questions about crown and bridgework or any other dental prosthetic, call our dental office in Laguna Hills. We will be happy to discuss the options and schedule your evaluation.

People seldom have a clear idea of the actual status of their dental health. Even with lights and mirrors, a patient can’t see what the dentist can – that is, until now.We use intraoral cameras, so when you visit the dentist, you can sit comfortably back in the chair and get ready for the show. The dentist or hygienist will insert a pen-sized, camera-tipped wand into your mouth. Covered with a disposable plastic sheath for contamination prevention, the wand simply takes a video of the inside of your mouth and transmits the images via cable to a computing unit. The computing unit enlarges the full-color images and sends them to a TV screen that you can comfortably view from the dental chair. Aha! There it is – your mouth on the screen. The dentist can point out problem areas and explain her recommendations for treatment, so you’ll become an informed partner in your dental care instead of a clueless bystander.

Seeing your dental problems may seem overwhelming at first, but consider the experience the first step toward a healthier, fresher smile. The camera may reveal the early stages of potentially serious problems, allowing you the opportunity to prevent small problems before they escalate. This is especially helpful with gum disease and conditions that cause damage without causing pain. The camera's honest survey can also show you how your regular home hygiene routine is paying off. The dental hygienist or dentist can recommend ways to improve your homecare based on their findings.

If you want to learn more about the technologies that enhance patient care in our Laguna Hills Dental office, call today. We’re always happy to explain the new innovations in dentistry and how they can improve your dental experience.
