Lumineers

Whether your teeth are discolored, chipped or moderately crooked, Lumineers is a likely solution. With advancements in technology, Lumineers are digitally designed to be as thin as a contact lens so they can be applied seamlessly over your teeth to deliver a natural looking smile. The minimally invasive Lumineers technique that Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS offers to patients typically eliminates the need for shots or temporaries, so while waiting for your custom-made Lumineers, patients will look and feel great.

The Lumineers process takes only two visits to the dentist and the placement of Lumineers on the second visit takes, on average, about an hour. After your first initial consultation, Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS will take an impression of your upper and lower teeth, and send the mold to an authorized Lumineers laboratory along with photos and other records that ensure the very best treatment for you. On your second visit, one of our doctors will place your Lumineers by bonding them in place to ensure a good fit and give patients the smile they have always wanted.

Dental Implants

Dr. Suzanne Haeri replaces teeth and restores patient smiles with dental implants. Implants are a permanent restorative option for teeth that are missing or have been extracted.  They look and feel like natural teeth, and are the most permanent and efficient means of replacing lost teeth.

An implant is placed over a series of appointments because of the healing time required.  Implants are titanium screws inserted through an incision in the gum. Over a period of 3-6 months, the jaw bone heals around the implant to become a solid, stable base for the new tooth. During this time a patient is fitted with a temporary crown, and a custom crown is created to match their smile perfectly.

After the jaw bone and gums have healed appropriately, the custom crown is placed in a second minor procedure.  The doctor may need to expose the head of the implant by removing some gum tissue, and the crown will be screwed to the top of the implant.  When this is complete the tooth looks like part of the natural smile, and with proper care will last for decades!

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays are often referred to as partial crowns. Also known as indirect fillings, inlays and onlays offer a well-fitting stronger, longer-lasting reparative solution to tooth decay or structural damage. At the office of Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS inlays or onlays can be made of gold, composite resin (plastic) or ceramics that will last for 10 years or longer depending on the material used and how well they are maintained.

Inlays and onlays are fabricated indirectly in a dental lab before being fitted and bonded to the damaged tooth by Dr. Haeri. This process begins with a mold of the tooth being taken and sent to a dental lab where they create a restoration made from porcelain, gold, or a composite resin. The restoration takes about 2-3 weeks to make, so a temporary inlay or onlay will be placed on the tooth for that time. During the second visit, the inlay or onlay will be placed into the mouth and set with cement. The tooth will look natural and the patient won't be able to tell the difference.

If you think you may benefit from inlays and onlays, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at the practice, visit www.suzannehaeridds.com for more information. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS in Los Angeles, CA, call 310-657-2200.

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Do you frown in photos? Have you lost your desire to smile because of missing teeth? If you’ve answered yes to these questions, Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS can restore your smile with dental implants. A dental implant is a surgical component that is placed into the jawbone to support a dental crown, a dental bridge, or a denture. Dental implants are natural-looking and are an excellent cosmetic option in addition to restorative.

Dental implants are just like your natural teeth. They have an intimate relationship with the gum which is why it’s important to be in good general and oral health before undergoing oral surgery. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, replace several teeth, or replace all of them if the damage is that severe. Dental implants can last for up to 10 years with proper oral care and maintenance.

Types of Dentures

Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS offers a wide variety of restorative options for missing teeth, but here we are going to discuss the benefits of dentures. For people who have lost their teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or injury, dentures can restore their smile and help them with everyday tasks such as eating and speaking. There are two main types of dentures: full and partial. Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS will help you choose the type of denture that’s best for you based on how many teeth are going to be replaced.

Complete (full) dentures are used if you’re missing teeth in your upper (maxillary) or lower (mandibular) jaws. Partial dentures are used on patients who only have some teeth missing on either jaw. Complete dentures replace all of the teeth, while partial dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting position. Your dentures may feel awkward for a few weeks until you become accustomed to them, however, you will decrease your risk of periodontal disease as well as ease the stress of your jaw while wearing them.

If you have missing teeth, give us a call to discuss your treatment options. To learn about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.suzannehaeridds.com for more information. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS herself in our Los Angeles, CA office, call 310-657-2200.
