Dr. Zadeh and her skilled dental team are passionate about patient care and understanding their unique oral health goals. We're dedicated to offering personalized treatments to achieve your dental health goals. Following is a detailed breakdown of our general dentistry services in Encino:

• Teeth Cleanings
  Teeth cleanings are essential preventive treatments that involve the removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth, paying extra attention to areas that are difficult to reach during regular brushing and flossing. This process is crucial in preventing the development of cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
   
• Dental Exams
  Dental exams are routine check-ups that assess overall oral health. These exams are key to identifying dental issues early on and planning necessary treatments effectively. A dental inspection looks at a patient's teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns, which may include performing an oral cancer screening.
   
• Tooth-Colored Fillings
  Tooth-colored fillings, made from composite resins or ceramics, are used to repair teeth affected by decay, cracks, or fractures. These fillings are aesthetically pleasing as they closely match the natural color of teeth. A patient with a cavity can have it treated with a tooth-colored filling, which blends seamlessly with the tooth, making the filling almost invisible.
   
• Digital Dental X-Rays
  Digital dental X-rays are a form of advanced imaging technology that provides detailed views of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Dental X-rays are used to diagnose dental issues that are not visible during a standard oral examination.
   
• Dental Crowns and Bridges
  Dental crowns are protective coverings used for damaged teeth, while bridges are dental appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring onto adjacent teeth. For example, a patient with a severely cracked tooth may receive a crown, and another with a missing tooth could get a bridge, restoring both functionality and aesthetics.
   
• Gum Disease Treatment
  Gum disease treatment includes a range of procedures from deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to more advanced surgical interventions aimed at combating various stages of gum disease.
   
• Emergency Dentistry
  Emergency dentistry provides immediate care for dental emergencies such as severe toothache, broken teeth, or knocked-out teeth. Emergency dental services in our Encino location aim to provide pain relief and a treatment plan to resolve immediate and longer-term issues.
   
• Full and Partial Dentures
  Full and partial dentures are custom-made dental appliances that replace missing teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch, whereas partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
   
• Root Canals
  Root canal treatment is a procedure to save and repair a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. This involves removing the damaged nerve and pulp and then cleaning and sealing the tooth.
   
• Tooth Extraction
  Tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth due to reasons such as severe decay, infection, or overcrowding or for orthodontic treatment to properly align the remaining teeth.

Dental Exams and Cleanings: Preventive Care

Preventative care includes regular home care, like brushing and flossing, complemented by biannual dental exams and cleanings. Early problem detection helps avoid more complex, costly treatments later.

Even if no immediate issues are apparent, maintaining preventive dental visits is crucial for lasting oral health. Unnoticed, conditions like gum disease and cavities can develop. Early intervention is key to maintaining your oral health and avoiding future complications.
