Teeth Whitening

Dr. Suzanne Haeri knows patients always want to present their brightest and whitest smile.  Many ask the doctor and his staff about over the counter products, and have tried them with underwhelming results.  Instead of winging it with retail products, come see us for a consultation and get your own custom whitening system!

During a consultation, your dentist will examine the level of staining on your teeth and be able to tell you what kind of results you can expect from the whitening system. To whiten your teeth at home, you will be fit with custom whitening trays made from molds of your teeth.  For a treatment, apply the whitening gel directly onto the trays and fit them over your teeth.  Your dentist will advise how often you should treat at home and how long each treatment can last.  Following dentist’s instructions, patients have seen this system whiten their smiles 4-8 shades!

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Everyone has a set of wisdom teeth but this set of ‘final molars’ often stays impacted.  Some patients experience these teeth beginning to erupt, usually between the ages of 17 and 24.  Even when that happens, there is not enough space in the mouth for these wisdom teeth to grow, which is why Dr. Suzanne Haeri typically recommends extraction. 

Keeping wisdom teeth too long can cause oral discomfort, headaches, damage the surrounding teeth and put a patient at risk for infection. If you experience swollen or tender gums around the wisdom teeth, jaw pain, or facial swelling, give us a call to determine if you need your wisdom teeth removed, and discuss sedation options and procedure with you.  The procedure will include stitches and some down time, but following instructions, a patient’s recovery shouldn’t take more than a week.

Take Proper Care of Your Toothbrush

Your toothbrush is the primary instrument you need to keep your gums and teeth in tip-top shape. As you reach for your toothbrush at any time during the day, you may not realize what is festering on those bristles. Proper toothbrush maintenance is important in keeping your oral cavity clean and your optimal health in good shape. Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS, is here to tell you how to take good care of your toothbrush.

Toothbrushes are necessary to eliminate plaque that can lead to the destruction of our tooth enamel. Because a toothbrush is highly exposed to bacteria, it’s important to never share one with your significant other and you should always store them in a dry, open space. Appropriate toothbrush care and maintenance are necessary for a healthy oral hygiene routine. You should replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months or when bristles are frayed.

If you have questions or concerns regarding oral care and dental health, please give us a call.

Sedation Options

Sedation dentistry is commonly used during oral surgery procedures but can also be used to take the edge off during a dental procedure for patients who suffer from anxiety. At the dental practice of Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS, we utilize safe and effective methods of sedation. Depending on the patient and the procedure, the following options may be suggested.

• Oral Conscious – With oral conscious sedation, the patient remains awake but is left in a heightened state of mind. For this option, you will need someone to drive you home after your procedure.


• Nitrous Oxide – Nitrous, also known as laughing gas, leaves the patient in a euphoric state feeling completely relaxed. All feelings of fear and anxiety will fade away and you will be able to respond to the doctor if need be. Nitrous wears off once the procedure is complete, allowing you to return to your daily activities.


• Anxiolysis – This light sedative is not as strong as oral sedation but is recommend for those who have mild to moderate anxiety. You will be able to drive yourself home after anxiolysis is administered.
