Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  A preliminary but utterly important consultation will be your first contact with Dr. Sayman. He will start with a comprehensive examination during which he will review your dental and medical history, screen your mouth for oral cancer and do a detailed intraoral clinical evaluation. He will take digital x-rays from different angles to thoroughly observe your tooth and its surrounding tissues. He will perform additional tests (hot, cold, biting, and percussion) and evaluate all existing endodontic procedures. Finally, if necessary, he will ask you questions and answer yours. After that, he will make his diagnosis. If therapy is needed, he will explain your recommended treatment plan and options, if any. Then our receptionist will explain to you in detail his fees.
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  You should visit your dentist at least once every 6 months to get a periodic dental check-up and teeth cleaning.
• Dental Sealants
  Dr. Sayman will use files to perform your treatment. They are used by hand and or mechanically, depending on the situation. While cleaning and giving shape to your canals, some irrigants are used. Their function is to disinfect the pulpal chamber. Then your canals will be sealed with an ADA-approved product called Gutta Percha. It is a natural product coming from trees. It has the appearance of a rubber. A sealant or adhesive cement will be combined with Gutta Percha to ensure a tight seal. Finally, a temporary filling will be placed to close the top of the tooth.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Crowns
  Fractured Cusp: A piece of the chewing surface may break off and can be repaired with a new crown or filling.
• Bridges

Endodontics

• Pulpotomy
  Direct Pulp Capping: Also known as pulpotomy, this is performed if there is infection or exposure of the dental pulp. Our endodontist will remove the coronal pulp before placing a protective agent over the exposed interior. It helps promote the regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex and the root will keep developing.
• Root Canal Treatment
  A visit to an endodontist is meant to be a positive experience. You would be surprised to know that 3 in 10 Americans are afraid of visiting any dentist’s office. We understand that many people fear getting root canal treatment; some even forgo it or delay it so long that they lose their teeth. At Elite Endodontics, our endodontists and staff ensure that all our patients have a positive and comfortable experience. Dr. Danni Sayman offers several practical, safe, and relaxing sedation options for fearful or anxious patients.
• Apicoectomy
  After your apicoectomy, you should usually be able to return to your normal routine or work the very next day. However, the healing process can take up to 4 weeks to complete. The jaw bone can take many months to grow back around the treated tooth. As with any other surgery, you can expect some swelling and a little discomfort. We may prescribe medication to help manage them.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  An extraction is a dentist’s last resort for two main reasons. First of all, it is always better to save a natural tooth. Second, after extracting, you need to replace the missing tooth with an implant, bridge, or removable partial denture to restore your chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting or upper or lower tooth from moving outward. By doing so, you often have to undergo another surgery or dental procedures on adjacent healthy teeth. Of course, sometimes, it is the only option for you.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Whether you seek root canal treatment or retreatment of a root canal, it is always recommended to save your natural teeth. Extracting a tooth and placing an implant will never be the same as your tooth functionally and aesthetically. New technological advances keep improving the way endodontic treatment is provided, thus increasing the procedure’s effectiveness.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions

General

• Teeth Whitening
  There are all sorts of over-the-counter teeth whiteners. You can use them to get a bright sheen, except when a specific tooth is discolored. Having such a tooth means that you may require professional internal bleaching services. Internal bleaching is different from bleaching the exterior or teeth whitening.
