Preventive Dentistry
We clean your teeth using special instruments to remove plaque or tartar (aka calculus) which is the main cause of tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Perform flossing between your teeth to remove plaque and then polish your teeth so that you have a health bright smile. It is important to perform x-rays and examine your teeth for any signs of the disease or dental conditions atleast twice a year.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry is the practice of doing bondings/fillings for various reasons. Some of which are: Repair broken teeth, Treat teeth with spaces and gaps, Fix cracked teeth, even teeth of varying lengths, protect exposed roots due to receding gums, replace metal fillings.
Which means we do not use metal during dental restorations. As a mercury free dentist, Dr. Pai understands that the unnatural color of metal can make your smile less aesthetically pleasing and can even be dangerous to your health. We use ceramic or porcelain materials when restoring your smile for natural-looking, safe results. Some patients have even decided to remove traditional metal fillings or other restorative devices for a more natural, whiter-looking smile. Mercury free dental procedures offer beautiful results that are safe, long-lasting, and effective at treating damaged, discolored, or unhealthy teeth.
Aesthetic Dentistry/Botox And Soft tissue fillers
For many dental implant patients, restoring facial volume can be as critical as the dental restoration for optimizing cosmetic outcomes. Dr. Savira Pai is certified to use Botox and dermal filler agents for patients who need facial volume restorations.
Besides creating beautiful smiles, Dr.Pai creates a more balanced and youthful harmony between the dento-facial complex by addressing the deep lines and wrinkles in the face. This keeps all of our patients looking their best.
Soft tissues that ring the mouth are as important as perfectly restored teeth for a confident smile. Botox is a natural and purified protein that relaxes facial muscles by blocking nerve impulses. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother, creating a more natural and relaxed appearance. The effects last about three to four months and patients feel little, if any, discomfort after the procedure.
For older dental implant patients with facial aging, the corners the mouth begin to turn down and wrinkles appear around the lips. Botox/soft tissue fillers can be used by dentists to relax affected muscles to raise mouth corners and smooth wrinkles with attractive outcomes. Dermal filler agents, such as Juvederm, treat fat and collagen volume loss due to the aging process that causes static lines to develop. As we age, our body’s production of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), the body’s natural filler decreases, which causes facial lines to appear. Results are not permanent and injections will need to be repeated periodically to maintain the cosmetic improvement.
Interested in getting a more youthful smile? Are you losing some fullness in your lips? Would you like to get rid of smile lines? Whatever your goal might be to achieve with Botox and fillers please feel free to ask Dr.Pai during your Dental exam for a free consult.
Crowns and Fixed Bridges
Missing teeth can be replaced with good results using fixed bridges that are cemented on supporting teeth for a natural feel and appearance. Not only will the bridge complete your smile but it will also stabilize the jaw so remaining teeth don’t shift position. (Also see Implants)
Implants
Dental implants are titanium cylinders placed in the jawbone where original teeth are missing. These root-like cylinders are used to secure the replacement teeth in the jawbone and are as close as possible to having your natural teeth.
When your natural teeth are missing, many problems can occur. The remaining teeth can shift or rotate causing an improper bite. Spaces and gaps may cause embarrassment, problems with speech or difficulty chewing. People who have dental implants report better ability to chew food and eat properly, renewed confidence while speaking and higher self-esteem.
We will refer you to a specialist to have implants placed. Once your implant has thoroughly healed it can safely be built up as close to your natural tooth again by our office.
