- Dental ExaminationThere’s a correlation between your overall health and oral health. Keeping your teeth clean lowers your risk for certain diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Some medical conditions may also be detected by dentists during an oral exam.
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningMany people dread heading to a teeth cleaning but the truth is: it's a simple and painless process. Explore the various steps of a teeth cleaning for a deeper understanding with the help of your Washington D.C. dentist, Dr. Vajdi.
- Fluoride TreatmentMost tooth decay is preventable. When fluoride is combined with other dental procedures, there is a great likelihood that the patient will not suffer from cavities. Children seem to benefit the most from a combination of fluoride treatments and dental sealants.
- Dental SealantsDepending what is seen in your mouth, other procedures might need to occur. This could be with x-rays or even molar sealants for kids.
- FillingsOld-fashioned silver/amalgam fillings are unattractive and easy to notice. Because Dr. Vajdi cares about your continued health and the appearance of your smile, our Washington D.C. office offers safe and nearly undetectable tooth-colored fillings that can be completed in a single appointment. These composite, tooth-colored fillings are made from materials that will blend in with your other natural teeth. With undetectable tooth-colored fillings, people will think that you’ve always had a flawless set of teeth.
- Resin CompositeThere are two types of veneers that are most commonly used, porcelain and composite resin veneers, but Dr. Vajdi prefers to utilize the porcelain material for lasting results.
- VeneersMany people desire to attain a picture-perfect Hollywood smile like your famous stars have, but many of us aren’t fortunate enough to be born with those flawless teeth. Discolorations, shapes that are irregular and chips are common reasons that people are self-conscious about their smiles. With modern technology, there is no longer a reason to hide that confidence; it might be time to ask your cosmetic dentist in Washington D.C. about dental veneers.
- CrownsYou have to do it with an empty mouth. Close your mouth and squeeze your teeth together as they come into contact. If the clenching causes any sign of pain or discomfort, then there may be a problem with your bite. If any tooth gets hurt by this empty mouth clenching, you should schedule an appointment with Dr. Vajdi to help you with this problem. It might be that one of your teeth has a high crown or filling which causes the other tooth to be sore as they come in contact with each other.
- Bridges5. Dental Bridges – This is another method that is great for missing teeth which can improve comfort and give you a proper bite. They are meant to improve your ability to chew and speak properly, while also lowering your risk of gum disease. Dental bridges will restore and maintain the structure of your face and mouth while preventing other complications.
- Dental BondingWith the help of dental bonding, Dr. Vajdi has the ability to mask, hide, and even correct any visible chips, cracks, and stains that your teeth are showing. Dental bonding can cover the imperfections of your smile by manipulating the shape, color, size, and texture of your teeth so they have the natural and flawless look you wanted. As your cosmetic dentist in Washington DC, Dr. Vajdi strives to give each patient a smile they're happy to share.
- Restorative DentistryTo acquaint patients with the procedures and technologies involved with cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Vajdi uses the interactive CAESY Patient Education System. The CAESY Education System allows patients to gain a more thorough understanding of the procedures they will undergo. Dr. Vajdi is pleased to offer his patients the opportunity to explore CAESY’s online database of information. This incredible resource is available as a special courtesy to his valued patients.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhile there are many people out there who hear the word “dentist” and immediately start to feel nervous, there are even more people that fear certain procedures. One of those feared procedures is a root canal. Many people who are told that they need a root canal often deny this. They may get so nervous that they avoid the procedure altogether. What is it that people fear about a root canal? For the most part, this is the pain!
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesWhile a lisp in a young child who is both awaiting the coming of Santa and the growth of his or her adult teeth can be cute, a missing tooth or loose fitting dentures for adults is not something any adult would want to sing about. A gap in one’s otherwise pearly whites has the potential to bring loss of social confidence amongst peers and business associates as well as the loss of health in not having the adequate bone that forms the shape of the face and jaw and brings poor digestion of food that is inadequately chewed.
- Dental ImplantsA tooth can be lost for a number of reasons, such as trauma, poor oral hygiene, and medical diseases like diabetes, a lack of salivary flow, tooth decay, or broken tooth structures. With these accidents and occurrences, patients may feel distraught about having a lackluster smile. Thankfully, Dr. Vajdi offers dental implants in Washington D.C. and has the ability to restore your smile with this restorative procedure!
- Oral SurgeryDuring your initial consultation with Dr. Vajdi, he will determine whether or not you are eligible for dental implants. Though we only perform the implant restoration, not the oral surgery, at our office, Dr. Vajdi works in conjunction with exceptional oral surgeons and periodontists in the area to ensure the safest and most effective care that we can possibly provide. We will refer you to either specialist for the placement of the implant.
- Tooth ExtractionsWhen the patient undergoes dental extraction, the bony socket which contained the tooth needs time to heal. It takes around three months for the socket to become supple with an adequate blood supply. Depending on the quality of bone and the type of extraction, it is generally advisable to get an implant after five to six months of extraction. The current success rates of dental implants are high and, once successfully placed, it can last a lifetime!
- OrthodonticsInvisalign® or Invisalign Teen® are dentist-applied orthodontics that can make a world of difference in your smile. Talk to your dentist to decide if orthodontics is your best option.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsMild to moderate misalignment of the smile is enough to make patients feel self-conscious about their appearance. Malocclusion can also affect the health of the smile if the bite is not properly aligned. Patients may experience unwanted wear of their natural teeth if their smile does not properly align. Dr. Vajdi encourages patients to take the time to learn about orthodontic treatments that do not involve metal brackets and wires—including Invisalign.
- BracesChildren who are required by their dentists to wear braces and other orthodontic devices usually feel excited as the scheduled removal comes closer. However, recent news that came out shows a popular fad has turned into potential dental danger as teenagers are wearing fake retainers and braces.
- Teeth Whitening2. Teeth Whitening – One of the quickest ways to improve the look of your smile is to use teeth whitening products. This can be done at home or by your dentist and is a common way to improve stained or discolored teeth due to age, smoking or bad eating habits.
