Porcelain Veneers / Porcelain Laminates:
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain, which are bonded onto the front surfaces of teeth. They are an excellent cosmetic solution for teeth which are stained, chipped, or misaligned. They are considered to be conservative restorations because they require minimal tooth reduction (about 0.5mm). Laminates offer a beautiful life-like appearance and are the secret to many movie star smiles. They are incredibly strong restorations and are resistant to staining due to their highly glazed surfaces. Porcelain laminates are not the only esthetic options available in dentistry, but when indicated they are remarkable.

Teeth Whitening:
Teeth whitening and cosmetic dental procedures have become very popular in the past few years with the advent of shows like Extreme Makeover and the Swan. Everyone wants a sparkley bright smile. Bleaching is a safe,effective, and cost efficient way of brightening up your smile. Coffee, soda, smoking or any food that can stain a white t-shirt can stain your teeth over time. Teeth bleaching is the process of removing these stains with the use of Carbamide Peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide Gel. There are various methods of bleaching your teeth.

Traditionally, braces consist of metal, plastic, or ceramic brackets glued to the teeth, and hold a tightening wire in place. While traditional braces may produce beautiful results many patients refuse treatment due to their unattractive appearance during treatment. Invisalign® is the invisible and comfortable way to straighten your teeth without braces. We use a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. Invisalign® is also being integrated in the curriculum of many dental schools nationwide. However, only certified dentists like Dr. Mousavi can undertake this procedure.

Tooth Colored Fillings:
There have been many advances in dental materials in the recent years which offer clinicians increasingly new ways to create a more natural looking and aesthetically pleasing smile. Tooth colored fillings have been available since the 1960's, and have gone through decades-long work of research, development, and enhancements.
White fillings are plastic compounds that are made of powdered glass fillers in a plastic resin matrix. They are actually bonded to the enamel and dentin layer of teeth which makes them stronger and more durable that traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. They also allow preservation of healthy tooth structure since they actually bond to teeth, where as silver fillings require removal of more tooth structure for mechanical retention of the filling itself. Treating tooth decay with with natural looking tooth colored fillings has virtually eliminated the need for silver fillings in our practice.
Porcelain Crowns & Bridges:
When teeth are severely decayed, damaged, and compromised, and replacement with composite fillings is not an option, porcelain crowns are placed. This can strengthen the compromised tooth structure and provide a highly aesthetic result as well. In our office we place all porcelain crowns and porcelain fused to high noble gold when indicated.
When spaces exist due to missing teeth, and dental implants are not an option because of the patient’s medical history, bridges are placed to cover the empty spaces. The adjacent teeth on either side of the missing space are recontoured and used as abutments for the bridge. The final bridge is cemented or bonded to your teeth and it is not removable. More than one missing tooth can be replaced by a bridge when indicated. We use both all-porcelain and porcelain-fused to high noble gold for all the bridges we fabricate depending on different existing circumstances. Please feel free to contact us regarding consultation for replacement of your missing teeth.

Dental Implants:
If you're healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you're probably healthy enough to have an implant - whether your missing teeth are the result of injury, disease, or decay. General good health and adequate bone in the jaw are the key requirements.
