- Oral Cancer ScreeningAn oral cancer screening is a precautionary measure that can give you peace of mind. We use the latest diagnostic tools during our screenings to provide a more comfortable and effective experience. We may recommend screening if you are at a greater risk for developing cancer due to factors like genetics and poor personal habits.
- Teeth CleaningEveryday oral activities like eating, drinking, and the consequent bacteria and saliva buildup in the mouth can cause a thin, sticky film to develop on the teeth throughout the day. This film is usually transparent and needs to be cleaned daily by brushing.
- CrownsThe process of lengthening of the crown or gum contouring is safe and does not involve any pain along with being quick and efficient. What more, you can carry on with your regular activities immediately after treatment without worrying about having to spend more money on your smile as the results of gingival sculpting are permanent.
- BridgesIf you have a missing tooth, it is about time you got yourself a dental implant. They are quite a reliable substitute for dental bridges. Dental implants are a permanent solution for people of any age. A simple explanation of dental implants is that they look, feel, and work quite similar to your natural teeth. This process requires oral surgery, which requires a healthy and strong bone structure of your teeth as the implant gets aligned with your bone with time.

- Deep CleaningWhen our mouths are not appropriately brushed during cleaning, they can form a sticky layer of plaque that gets stuck on the surface of the tooth and hardens. Only a professional deep cleaning by our expert hygienists can remove the “tartar†from the tooth.
- DenturesThere are a myriad of reasons why a patient may elect to get a dental implant. However, while dental implants look, feel, and work better than dentures, not everyone has the right bone structure to have them placed. Not only can the lack of sufficient bone support make your dental implants fail, but it could also break the bone upon which they are attached. Here at Dr. Behnaz Yalda, DMD, we take this consideration quite seriously, which is why we are pleased to provide sinus lifts to those who may need it.
- Dental ImplantsOver 120 million Americans have lost at least one tooth as adults. If you have lost more than one tooth, you’re in good company. While you might be able to get away with losing one tooth, you may find it difficult to function if you have lost multiple teeth. This is especially true if you have lost multiple teeth on one side of your mouth. When that happens, you may feel uncomfortable smiling. You may not want to go out in public, because you’re afraid of other people’s reactions. Eating your favorite food may be an issue as well. If you are having a problem because of your multiple tooth loss, Dr. Behnaz Yalda, DMD can help with multiple tooth implants.
- Oral SurgeryA ridge augmentation is a common and minor oral surgery that improves your jawbone following tooth loss or an extraction. The alveolar ridge is the part of the jaw that supports the roots of our teeth. In the absence of a tooth, this ridge may deteriorate over time.
- Gum SurgeryAt Dr. Behnaz Yalda, DMD, we specialize in a revolutionary new procedure known as Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST). Invented and patented by Dr. John Chao, this cutting-edge technique has forever changed the way we correct gum recession. If you need restorative periodontal treatment, Chao pinhole gum surgery may be the ideal solution!
- Osseous SurgeryAt Dr. Behnaz Yalda, DMD, we provide affordable periodontal care to all patients. If you have advanced gum disease or are at risk for losing your teeth, you must come in for a comprehensive consultation as soon as possible. We offer several modern dentistry treatments, including laser dentistry procedures and osseous surgery to ensure our patients can achieve optimal oral health with their gum disease treatment plan.
- Tooth ExtractionsIn many cases, a ridge augmentation is performed immediately following tooth extraction. While the empty socket will heal on its own, a ridge augmentation will help prevent deterioration before we can schedule your implant surgery. We may also recommend a ridge augmentation for aesthetic reasons, preserving a more youthful facial structure.
- Ridge AugmentationThere are several types of ridge augmentations, but the general steps for each procedure are the same. Generally speaking, a ridge augmentation is performed by placing graft material into the socket. This is sometimes referred to as socket preservation or localized ridge augmentation.
- Bone GraftingEvery patient who is referred to our practice has unique needs, which is why we customize our treatments based on the specific goals and oral health problems of each individual. Whether you are in the early stages of gum disease, need a bone grafting procedure, or are seeking permanent tooth replacement options, we will help you achieve lasting results with a comprehensive treatment plan. We have developed long term relationships with many of our patients, and are proud to provide the advanced care and services necessary to maintain periodontal health.
