Tarzana, CA – For many individuals, a smile makeover offers comprehensive enhancement when more than one dental concern is present. This treatment often combines cosmetic and restorative procedures to help improve both smile aesthetics and functionality. Tarzana cosmetic dentist Argina Kudaverdian, DDS explains that a smile makeover can be tailored to address a patient’s specific needs, including tooth discoloration, misalignment, chips, and more. 

Dr. Kudaverdian notes that common smile makeover treatments include: 

• Porcelain Veneers – Custom-crafted for a seamless fit, porcelain veneers are one of the most beneficial treatments in cosmetic dentistry, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for chipped, stained, or misaligned teeth. Additionally, minimal prep veneers are a conservative option that often requires little to no removal of tooth enamel.
• Cosmetic Bonding – A quick and effective treatment, cosmetic bonding uses a tooth-colored resin to repair imperfections and improve tooth appearance, offering an alternative to more invasive procedures. 
• Invisalign^® – The popular Invisalign^® treatment is a modern and discreet orthodontic approach to straightening teeth through a series of clear, custom aligners. 
• Teeth Whitening – Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, in-office teeth whitening is designed to safely and effectively brighten smiles by several shades. 
• Gum Lift – A gum lift involves reshaping the gum line to expose more of the teeth, enhancing the overall look and symmetry of a patient’s smile. 
• Dental Implants – For patients seeking a more permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants offer a secure and natural-looking option, improving oral health and functionality.
• Dental Crowns – Tailored to restore both the appearance and strength of damaged teeth, dental crowns are a key component of restorative and cosmetic dental care. 

Ultimately, Dr. Kudaverdian says that the procedures chosen for a smile makeover are decided upon based on a patient’s specific dental needs and cosmetic goals. The best way to determine which treatments are most appropriate is through a consultation with a qualified and experienced dental professional.

“Advanced dental technology is changing the typical experience within the dental office as diagnostic tools and procedures are becoming more comfortable, pain-free, and efficient for both the patient and the dentist,” Dr. Kudaveridan said. As an experienced dentist offering a wide range of dental procedures, Dr. Kudaverdian is proud to offer the following advanced technologies at 32ology Dental Studio:

• 3D CBCT – The three-dimensional Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) system captures high-quality images of the jaw. The technology offers more visibility, allows for jawbone infection to be better identified, and helps diagnose advanced oral problems. For dental implants, the 3D CBCT system makes it easier to measure the width and height of the bone where the implant will be placed and ensure it is placed in the correct position. It is especially important when positioning multiple implants to make sure they are away from important anatomical structures like blood vessels, nerve canals, or sinuses.
• Intraoral Scanner – By digitally capturing teeth and gum measurements, an intraoral scanner offers a cleaner, comfortable, and more accurate impression as opposed to messy molds and putties. With a handheld wand, the system provides insight into the structure of a patient’s mouth, as well as proper dimensions for a more precise treatment process. The scanner is especially beneficial for patients pursuing Invisalign^® and other orthodontic treatments.
• NOMAD™ X-Ray – The NOMAD™ x-ray technology features a handheld device for two dimensional digital imagery of patients’ teeth. The system is more comfortable than many other x-ray options, reduces exposure to radiation, and allows for easier positioning of the sensor.
• SOL^® Soft Tissue Laser – While laser dentistry is common and an effective technique, Dr. Kudaverdian highlights that the SOL^® soft tissue laser goes above and beyond to provide a more comfortable experience for patients. The technology is typically gentler and more effective than traditional scalpels and drills. Considered one of the safest and most precise laser technologies, SOL^® can be utilized during numerous cosmetic, restorative, and preventive procedures, including gum disease treatment.
• iTero™ Element Plus Series Scanner – Another innovative dental system is the iTero™ Element Plus Series scanner. With a handheld device, the technology easily and quickly scans a patient’s mouth for accurate imagery, so treatment can be planned according to their individual smile and dental needs. For Invisalign^® patients, the iTero™ scanner offers detailed impressions of the teeth so the trays can be created precisely.

Utilizing these top-of-the-line dental technologies not only makes dental procedures less invasive and more efficient, but Dr. Kudaverdian has found they also significantly enhance the accuracy of diagnoses and the effectiveness of treatments, contributing to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. She notes, “My patients love every single high-tech device I have, whether it’s the efficiency of the Nomad X-Ray device or the detailed imaging of the iTero™ wand, they are impressed by all of it!”

7 Prevalent Dental Emergencies

Toothache

Toothache is the commonest among dental emergencies because of the painful sensation it presents. In most cases, the painful sensation can range from mild to severe and cause severe distress to the victim. In mild painful situations, the patient may be able to hold off seeing a dentist for a day or more, depending on their appointment time and date. However, emergency dental attention is required in severe cases as the victim may be unable to cope with the effect. Toothache can sometimes be accompanied by other symptoms like inflammation or swelling, which makes the affected area tender. Victims need to avoid self-medication and the use of aspirin or other painkillers in such situations to avoid burning the already tender tissue. For mid to severe toothache pain, affected people should seek emergency dental care at the nearest clinic. The dentist’s first line of action would be to understand the cause of the pain and provide solutions on how to combat it.

Chipped or broken teeth

Chipped or broken teeth are common in people who bite too hard on food or other substances. Chances are high that you may bite down too hard on a hard substance that sends reverberations back through your teeth. The bite force may cause a chipped or broken tooth, which can ruin your perfectly good smile. Biting down too hard can also cause pain, especially if it results in deep cracks along the affected area. For this dental emergency, it is best to spit out the hard substance you’ve bitten on, rinse your mouth with warm water and get a piece of gauze to stop any bleeding. Once the gauze is in place, get ice or a cold compress and apply it to the affected face area. Keep the cold compress in place to reduce inflammation while heading to your emergency dentist.

Knocked-out tooth

The thought of a knocked-out would surely send shivers down your spine. The shivers are nothing compared to the pain felt by affected persons. Knocked-out teeth are often due to a high force of impact on the face, which dislodges the tooth or teeth from their root. Whether you were involved in a physical altercation, a sports impact, or an accident, ensure that the knocked-out tooth is retrieved. Avoid scrubbing the retrieved knocked-out tooth and get a glass of milk to store it. You can also drown the knocked-out tooth in your saliva to keep it in place until you get to your dentist. Please note that the sooner you get to your emergency dentist, the better. The knocked-out tooth can usually be replaced within an hour window, depending on the level of damage to the tooth.

Lost Filling or crown

Dental crowns are a cosmetic procedure for restoring damaged teeth. They are laid over the damaged teeth to give them a more defined look while protecting them from bacterial attacks. The chances of breaking your dental crown are possible, especially if you bite down hard on a hard substance. Your dental fillings can also come off. For such emergencies, try to avoid sugary food items until you can get to your dentist. You should also avoid DIY fixes as you may end up damaging your teeth and causing more problems.

Broken Orthodontics

Orthodontic appliances are often designed to be strong and sturdy. However, the metal wires in traditional braces can often break off due to daily use. This problem can happen anytime, whether you’re talking, chewing, or eating. It is important to take utmost care in dealing with broken orthodontic appliances to avoid hurting yourself. Slow down your talk, chewing, or food to assess the problem, and try to push the broken wire into a corner or a more comfortable position. Contact your emergency dentist for immediate attention, as leaving the broken orthodontic appliance unattended can reverse the straightening process.

Abscess

Oral abscess starts small but can be painful and damaging to the dentition. This problem is usually caused by infections in the tooth’s root, commonly between the teeth and gums. They can become very serious when left unattended and can compromise the patient’s heart and other organs. Oral abscesses spread fast to surrounding areas, compromising the teeth’s integrity and strength. The painful condition should be taken to an emergency dentist as quickly as possible. Dental practitioners are familiar with the best way to extract the pus in the abscess to prevent further spread. They can also perform the necessary cleaning and treatment to kickstart the healing process.

Pain and bleeding after oral surgery

Surgical procedures like tooth extraction, impacted wisdom teeth, etc., can often lead to bleeding and post-operative pain. Dental surgeons will always advise their patients to return within a time frame if the bleeding doesn’t stop. You should return to your dentist or see an emergency dentist if your mouth still bleeds after the stated time. A timely intervention in such cases can save you a lot of blood and can significantly reduce the level of pain you’re experiencing in the aftermath of the procedure. Any one of these common dental emergencies can cause devastating pain and discomfort when not promptly addressed.

As promised in my last newsletter, I will review tooth replacement options in today’s letter. Before I get into the details, I wanted to stop and smell the roses. We are closing out our fourth month as new owners of 32ology. I have met countless patients who have considered CSD their dental home for decades and they are happily continuing their annual visits with us. You have greeted me with big smiles and warm hearts. I am so grateful to have been accepted with open arms. I wanted to give special thanks to our wonderful staff – Carol, Daisy, Jasmine, Brenda, and Sukhi for transitioning all of us with ease and continuously dedicating themselves to excellent patient care. We truly are a team and without each other, we could not provide the same level of service.

Now, with the vision to educate patients about dentistry, I will go over the different options that are available to replace missing teeth. In my last newsletter, I reviewed the importance of replacing a tooth in order to avoid shifting and tilting. Dentistry provides three options: implant, bridge or partial denture. I will go over what each option is, how long each procedure takes, and provide the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Implant

The implant is currently the most successful option in healthy patients. It is simply a screw that is placed in the bone, which holds a crown. It is a three-step process that can take four to eight months depending on the complexity and healing ability of the patient. After placement, we wait three to six months for the bone to accept the implant and fuse to it. Then we attach the abutment or connection to the crown and then take the final impression to create the crown. Who is considered a good candidate? Important factors to consider are the amount of bone remaining where the tooth was lost, whether the patient is a smoker or not, and the periodontal health and immune system of the patient. Each person is unique and each location of the missing tooth can have a different situation that may affect its success. For this reason, it is imperative to take a 3D scan and get a thorough consultation with the dentist to evaluate if you are a good candidate for an implant.

Bridge

A bridge is the second best way to replace a missing tooth. It is usually a three-unit piece that is permanently cemented using the adjacent teeth as anchors. This option can only work if there is a tooth on both sides of the empty space. The retainer teeth must be healthy enough to be drilled upon and crowned to hold the fake tooth in the middle. This unit once cemented does not come off and needs to be taken care of by flossing underneath to last a long time. The process takes only two appointments and can be finished in as little as two weeks.

Denture

Finally, the least invasive option is the partial denture. It can take two to six appointments with multiple adjustments. The partial denture is a removable prosthesis that is made of different combinations of acrylic and metal to replace one or more teeth. Certain types can be used while eating, and others need to be removed and are for cosmetic purposes only. They apply pressure on the holding teeth and gums which can cause damage over time. They take some time to get used to as the cheeks and tongue have to get used to a foreign object inside the mouth.

Between the three different options for tooth replacement, the implant is the most successful and longest-lasting treatment option. It does not compromise adjacent teeth as a bridge does and really restores normal function as it was before. The disadvantage of the implant is that it can take a long process – months before you can have a permanent tooth again and not everyone is a good candidate. The bridge is also a great permanent option because it can last many years but needs to be properly taken care of. The disadvantage of a bridge is that two teeth are compromised by requiring crowns. The partial denture is the least expensive option but my least favorite option since it can be very uncomfortable, difficult to chew with, and require multiple adjustments to get the best fit.

In conclusion, it is imperative to get evaluated by a dentist to determine which is the best treatment for you. I am here to support you with your dental health needs and make sure you maintain and restore your healthy teeth to l
