Before treatment, the patient is provided with in-depth information about the treatment approach so he or she can feel confident in their care. The tools used by Dr. Shokri are calibrated to a specific wavelength so that she is able to effectively treat the patient without causing any harm or discomfort. If you have questions about laser dental treatments and how they might help address your dental concerns, Dr. Shokri will take the time to answer your questions and explain the treatment in detail, empowering you to make the best decision for your dental care.

Lasers are a safe and effective treatment for many issues affecting the soft tissues of the mouth. Dr. Shokri uses lasers for a variety of dental conditions and issues. For example, she can use laser therapy to treat periodontal disease by removing the infection from below the gum line and reshaping your gums. This innovative treatment has significantly minimized the recovery period often associated with gum disease treatment and has drastically minimized the discomfort of related dental procedures. The doctor also uses dental lasers to remove oral lesions or lessen the discomfort of cold sores and canker sores. Dental lasers are also used during cosmetic procedures to reshape the gums to improve the appearance of a patients smile.

One of the most unique qualities about Dr. Shokri is that she’s looking for the problem to fix, she’s not just looking for a symptom to subdue. This approach is unfortunately, not the norm, so for those that aren’t used to having to look at the big picture, it looks daunting. Well, after being with my former dentist for 20 years (!!!!) and never being told about my TMJ or how my jaw was so misaligned veneers would be a waste of money, I’m here to testify that after almost 1 1/2 years of actual dentistry, my TMJ acts up only when I’m stressed, I can chew correctly and my veneers won’t break. Coming from raw, crunch TMJ, this has been the most amazing life changer. Dr. Shokri is the kind of unique we need more of.

Dental implants provide a number of benefits. Not only do they look like natural teeth, but you are able to eat normally. They also provide stimulation to the jawbone, just like a normal tooth. Dental implants Woodland Hills are a permanent tooth replacement solution and with proper care, they can last for several years. The alternatives for dental implants are dental bridges. This lab-created bridge closes the gap by anchoring itself onto neighboring teeth. However, overtime bridges can create pressure on neighboring teeth, resulting in damage. Dental Implants are the ideal solution to replace a missing tooth and are very simple to upkeep.

Dr. Shokri uses a state of the art 3D imaging service to collect images of not only your teeth, but your entire jaw, neck and head. These detailed images show her if there are any areas of weakness in the jaw that need to be addressed before dental implants can be installed. Along with the 3D imaging services, Dr. Shokri utilizes a guided technique which allows her to digitally place the implant on a digital version of your mouth. This creates a more precise placement for the implant, as the digital version highlights all major nerves and blood vessel that need to be avoided. This accurate diagnostic tool provides Dr. Shokri with the relevant information to make informed recommendations on the best course of treatment to replace your teeth.

When you have lost a permanent tooth, dental implants Woodland Hills are a safe and reliable option to replace that tooth or teeth. Dental implants are a great option for most people in need of replacement teeth, although your mouth and jaw need to be relatively healthy for the installation to be successful. Being in good health is the biggest concern when it comes to dental implants. Some diseases, such as cardiac disease or diabetes, make it difficult to recover from dental surgery. Bone density is another concern. The process of having dental implants requires that a surgical post is implanted into your jawbone. If you do not have strong bones or if you have bone loss due to missing teeth, then the process of receiving dental implants may be elongated. Other options for replacing missing teeth include dental bridges or dentures.

A dental veneer is a very strong, tooth-colored covering that is adhered to the front surfaces of the teeth.

She will also utilize her laser treatment to adjust the appearance of the patients gums to ensure a healthy and beautiful result. Dr. Shokri can use veneers to address multiple smile imperfections. Veneers are often used to correct cosmetic damage like chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, teeth that appear too small, uneven or worn tooth edges, and staining that doesn't respond to teeth whitening. Veneers are custom made using state-of-the-art technology and materials that can be custom-tinted to match your own teeth for a completely natural-looking result.
