Root Canal Therapy

A root canal is a common procedure within the dental specialty of endodontics. Endodontics focuses on the roots or nerves of the teeth. When a patient doesn’t practice proper dental hygiene, a tooth infection can occur. If located in the roots, a root canal becomes necessary. Dr. Suzanne Haeri provides root canal therapy to her patients in Los Angeles, CA.

 

It is vital to treat tooth infections as soon as possible. If left untreated, the infection can spread throughout the mouth. It can also lead to long-term effects like bone loss in the jaw.

 

The procedure starts with your Los Angeles dentist applying a local anesthetic to the tooth. This numbs it and assures minimal discomfort. Dr. Haeri drills into the tooth, exposing the root canal. The infected materials are removed and the area is cleaned. Afterward, the dentist closes the root canal with a filling or sealant. It’s recommended for a dental crown to be placed too.

 

Overall, root canal therapy is highly successful and almost completely painless. It’s common to experience soreness the days following the procedure. Take over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medication as needed. Follow any and all post-operative instructions given by Dr. Haeri. Your recovery highly correlates to your root canal’s success.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin durable shells made of porcelain that are bonded onto your natural teeth. Veneers are used to correct problems like cracked, stained, chipped, gapped, or broken teeth. Dr. Suzanne Haeri DDS understands how important your smile is. You’re going to have your smile the rest of your life, you might as well enjoy it! That’s why we offer porcelain veneers for our patients.

 

It will take 2-3 appointments with Dr. Haeri at her office in Los Angeles, CA. to complete the entire process. Your first appointment is more of a consultation than appointment. There are many different choices that come with choosing your veneers. This is why it’s recommended that you do some research individually beforehand. The major two are coloring and shape. There are two kinds of shaping, square and rounded. Many patients believe that rounded veneers are more feminine, while the square is more masculine. This is not true at all. Both shapes are available regardless of gender. The coloring is the shading of the veneers. You can choose from brightness starting at natural all the way to Hollywood levels.

 

Once you are happy with your decisions, the next part of the process can start. First, your teeth will be prepared and cleaned. We will then take an impression or mold of your teeth. This is then sent to a dental laboratory to create your customized veneers. The personalization assures that they will fit you perfectly. It will take about fourteen days for them to be created. In the meantime, you will be given temporary veneers. When the permanent veneers come back in, you will come in for your final appointment. They will then be bonded to your teeth.
