- Dental ExaminationWhen a new patient comes to Frederick Family Dentistry, we start by focusing on preventive care to keep your teeth healthy for a lifetime. Regular dental exams help Dr. Ganjavian determine your current oral health as well as any dental conditions that could put your health at risk.
- X-raysTo make your visit as pleasant and brief as possible, there are a few things you should bring with you. Please bring any dental X-rays from the last six months to your first appointment.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningEven if you have full dentures, regular dental exams will help us keep them looking and feeling their best. We will examine your mouth for any signs of wear or sores so that we can make small adjustments to keep your dentures fitting great. We also provide a life-saving oral cancer screening with your exam. Your dentist is the first line of defense against this particularly deadly form of cancer.
- Teeth CleaningProfessional dental cleanings are essential to good oral health. Even if you brush and floss regularly, it is impossible for you to remove all plaque and bacteria from hard-to-reach places between your teeth and at your gum line. Our hygienist is extremely gentle and will expertly remove the debris from your teeth, leaving you with a clean, fresh feeling. Professional dental cleanings help you to avoid gum disease, which can cause bad breath, tooth loss, and complications with your overall health.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are a thin layer of acrylic that is painted on the surface of the back molars. This quick and painless process establishes a barrier that protects teeth from damage caused by bacteria and plaque. Sealants also make teeth easier to clean by smoothing the surface.
- FillingsAt Frederick Family Dentistry, Dr. G will gently remove all signs of decay and bacteria from your tooth. He will then sterilize the area and place a filling. Fillings come in amalgam (silver) and composite (tooth-colored). Amalgam fillings will sometimes be used in baby teeth and in areas where your mouth cannot be kept dry during a procedure. Composite fillings are tooth-colored, come in a variety of shades, and help maintain the natural beauty of your smile.
- CrownsAt Frederick Family Dentistry, Dr. Babak Ganjavian believes in using high-quality restorative materials and the latest techniques to give you lasting results when it comes to fillings, bonding and crowns.
- BridgesWhen you have a missing tooth, eating and speaking can be difficult and even embarrassing because of the gap in your smile. At Frederick Family Dentistry, we recommend dental bridges for patients who do not want or cannot have a dental implant to replace their missing tooth.
- Dental BondingWhen you chip a tooth, or if you have a gap in your smile that you do not like, you might consider dental bonding for small repairs. Dental bonding utilizes composite material, the same kind we use in white fillings, to fix small flaws in your teeth.
- Restorative DentistryRestorative dentistry addresses problems such as decay and broken teeth. Even if you take excellent care of your oral health, you will likely need a dental restoration at some point during your lifetime. Dental restorations such as fillings and crowns can prolong the life of your tooth by decades.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhen patients learn that they need a root canal, they usually have two concerns: that it will hurt and that they will have to see a specialist. At Frederick Family Dentistry, we can put your mind at ease because we have performed thousands of root canals right here in the comfort of our Frederick, Maryland dental office. In fact, Dr. Ganjavian is highly skilled when it comes to root canal treatment and always makes sure that our patients are comfortable during their procedures.
- DenturesHaving dentures that fit well and feel comfortable is essential. When something is off, you can experience sores and may not be able to eat or speak properly.
- Dental ImplantsAt Frederick Family Dentistry, we do everything possible to help our patients keep their natural teeth. However, when tooth loss does occur, dental implants can provide replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like natural teeth.
- Tooth ExtractionsWhether your tooth is severely decayed or broken, Dr. Ganjavian can evaluate it and see if it makes more sense to extract your tooth or to try to save it. When an extraction becomes necessary, you can count on us to do it quickly and comfortably. Dr. G is highly skilled at all types of dental extractions. Because we treat a number of emergency dental patients, he has performed thousands of these procedures for our patients.
- OrthodonticsIf you wish that you had a straighter smile, you are not alone. Many teens and adults would love to have the benefits of orthodontics without having to spend months, or even years, in brackets and wires. In fact, many of our patients share with us that they would be more likely to consider orthodontic treatment if it were more aesthetic and convenient.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign is an innovative and high-tech answer to the challenge of traditional orthodontic treatment. Rather than brackets and wires, Invisalign utilizes a clear aligner tray system that gradually and gently moves your teeth over time. The clear aligner trays apply low force and move your teeth slowly, which eliminates the need for painful “tightening” appointments.
