Dr. Salmassian takes prides in providing a metal free fillings. Composite resins fillings can perfectly match the physical characteristics and color of natural teeth, and actually strengthening them in the process.
- VeneersPorcelain veneers are custom-made coverings for the front of your teeth. They are very thin and are bonded to your teeth by your dentist in order to change the look of your teeth. You can have veneers placed on as many teeth as you would like, whether that be just one or your entire mouth. Veneers are meant to fix both structural and cosmetic issues, such as chips, gaps, discoloration, worn down teeth, etc. Porcelain veneers are designed to be long lasting, allowing you to benefit from them for many years, if not a lifetime.

- BridgesDental implants are an amazing advancement in dentistry over the past decades, allowing for your lost or missing teeth to be replaced without having to wear dentures. Teeth are often damaged in accidents, due to tooth decay, from periodontal disease, aging, prior wrong treatment or other issues. Dentures, partials or dental bridges once were the only solution for these problems, while many people have just chosen to live with gaps in their teeth.

- Root Canal TreatmentOnce upon a time, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you’d probably lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called root canal therapy, you may save that tooth.Inside each tooth is the pulp, which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth. It runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you don’t remove the pulp tissue, your tooth gets infected and you could lose it. After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off to protect it. Then your dentist places a crown over the tooth to help make it stronger.Most of the time, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort involving one to three visits. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile!
- DenturesWhat makes dental implants feel completely comfortable and secure? ClearChoice doctors use a medical-grade titanium implant fixture that, over time, actually fuses to the living bone cells of the jaw. This union forms a strong and durable anchor for your new teeth, meaning there’s no slippage or other movement (which can sometimes happen with dentures). There are also no problems eating with dental implants, no need to repair them regularly and no more worrying about smiling freely and openly.
- OverdenturesWhile an overdenture does require surgery, the treatment requires less surgery than a complete fixed bridge. This is because you only need to have four posts implanted. With less surgery, your recovery time is shorter. Overdentures are also a more affordable treatment. There are several factors that contribute to this benefit, including the need for fewer posts, less surgery, and fewer follow up appointments.
- Dental Implants1) The implant: A screw that serves as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.
- Oral Surgery
- Jaw SurgerySurgery is performed in the hospital with an oral surgeon, and can take several hours, depending on the amount and type of surgery needed. In lower jaw surgery, the jawbone behind the teeth is separated and the tooth-bearing portion is moved forward or backward, as needed. In upper jaw surgery, the jaw can be repositioned forward or backward, or the jaw can be raised or lowered. Certain movements may require the jaws to be separated, with bone added/removed to achieve the proper alignment and stability. Other facial bones that contribute to alignment may also be repositioned or augmented.
