Frequently Asked Questions What can I do about bad breath? To combat bad breath, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from your tongue, and stay hydrated. Avoid tobacco and limit foods like garlic and onions. If the issue persists, let us know so we can rule out any underlying problems. If bad breath is caused by an issue such as gum disease or periodontitis, our in-house periodontist can recommend a personalized treatment plan. It’s important to address this condition promptly as untreated gum disease can cause serious health issues in the future. How can I tell if I have gingivitis or periodontitis (gum disease)? Periodontal disease often goes unnoticed as it's painless in early stages. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for detection. Plaque buildup, generating acids, causes inflammation and bone loss. Risk factors include smoking, dental conditions, certain meds, hormonal changes, and systemic diseases. Symptoms encompass red/swollen gums, bleeding, bad breath, spacing, loose teeth, pus, receding gums, and tenderness. Prevention entails oral care, a balanced diet, and dental visits to lower risk. At Santa Monica Dental Office we have an in-house periodontist who will provide a thorough examination and recommendations for your particular condition. Are amalgam (silver) fillings safe? Amalgam (silver) fillings have raised safety concerns due to mercury exposure. However, the American Dental Association (ADA), CDC, FDA, and others consider them safe and durable. Studies show no link between mercury in fillings and health issues. Mercury in fillings combines with other elements, becoming inactive. However, most of our patients prefer tooth-colored fillings made from resin because they are durable and blend right in with the natural color of your teeth. We can match the shade of the filling with the color of your teeth. How often should I have a dental exam and cleaning? Regular dental check-ups and cleanings, recommended at least twice a year, help prevent dental issues and maintain oral health. These visits involve professional cleaning to remove built up plaque and tartar, cavity checks, and various assessments, including medical history, x-rays, oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, existing restoration examination, and teeth polishing. Comprehensive care necessitates frequent check-ups and cleanings to ensure the best oral health. information Terms & Conditions Accessibility Statement We also accept checks and cash location 2901 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 221 Santa Monica, CA 90403 (310) 829-0091 quick links Home Invisalign Patients Meet Us FAQs social Facebook Instagram TikTok © Year Dr. Ellie Farahmand Custom Website & Marketing Home modern dentistry Dental Exams Dental Implants Composite Fillings Porcelain Veneers Porcelain Crowns Porcelain Fixed Bridges Teeth Whitening Dentures and Partial Dentures Periodontal Treatment TMJ Treatment invisalign patients Patient Information Patient Articles Products meet Dr. Ellie meet Our Team (310) 829-0091 Dentures | Best Restorative Dentist in Santa Monica Home modern dentistry Dental Exams Dental Implants Composite Fillings Porcelain Veneers Porcelain Crowns Porcelain Fixed Bridges Teeth Whitening Dentures and Partial Dentures Periodontal Treatment TMJ Treatment invisalign patients Patient Information Patient Articles Products meet Dr. Ellie meet Our Team (310) 829-0091 Santa Monica Dental Office Services Dentures and Partial Dentures Schedule Appointment Missing teeth can make speaking and eating a challenge. Fortunately, there are ways to restore your smile if you have one or more missing teeth. One of the most cost-effective methods for tooth replacement is partial dentures and complete dentures in Santa Monica. Dr. Ellie Farahmand is one of the leading local denture specialists in Santa Monica. She makes custom dentures with artificial teeth attached to a pink base to fit over your gums. As an experienced denture dentist of over 20 years, she can thoroughly examine your mouth and determine whether a partial or complete denture is the right option for you. schedule appointment Denture Experts in Santa Monica The health benefits of replacing your missing teeth can be extensive. At our friendly denture clinic in Santa Monica, we offer many solutions to replace your missing teeth, such as: Partial dentures Full dentures Implant-supported dentures Give us a call and schedule an appointment. Schedule Appointment The Denture Process The first step to getting dentures is Dr. Farahmand taking an impression of your mouth. These impressions are used to create a model from dental stone. Dr. Farahmand will work with you to choose a suitable color and tooth size for your denture. Your model and impression get sent to a dental laboratory for your dentures to be made. At the dental laboratory, a technician may create your dentures out of wax and return them to our office to try. Once you approve of its appearance, it gets sent back to the lab for fabrication. They’ll clean and polish the denture before delivering it to Dr. Farahmand. It’s important to clean your denture just like your natural teeth. The cleaning process involves removing and brushing them at least once daily using a soft-bristled brush. Are Partial or Full Dentures More Suitable for You? All types of dentures provide you with various benefits. They make it easier to chew, speak, and restore and maintain your face's definition. Partial dentures are better suited for patients missing only a few teeth. They are durable and create a chewing or biting surface. Dr. Farahmand will ensure the materials match your existing teeth to blend flawlessly with your smile. Full dentures are ideal for those who have lost all of their teeth or need to have them extracted. They make it easier to speak and chew and help you enjoy your favorite foods. Like partial dentures, a full denture can be created to match the size and shape of your natural teeth. Not sure if dentures or dental implants are right for you?

This condition affects your oral health in many ways, including causing your teeth to fall out. Fortunately, it is treatable when detected promptly by an experienced dentist. At Santa Monica Dental Office, Dr. Ellie Farahmand can complete a thorough assessment of your gum health. She looks for signs of gingivitis, gum recession, and tartar buildup contributing to gum inflammation. Dr. Farahmand can recommend the appropriate gum disease treatment for your condition. schedule appointment What Is Periodontal Treatment? There are various options for periodontal dental treatment. They range from cleanings to surgical treatments to address deep periodontal pockets. When periodontal disease is diagnosed early, a less invasive treatment, like scaling and root planing, may be suitable to resolve the issue. Gum infection treatment is essential to stopping the disease from spreading and requiring more invasive treatment. As it advances, a gum infection can become more severe and may lead to tooth or bone loss. Teeth Cleanings During routine teeth cleanings, our team uses a periodontal scaler for tartar and plaque removal. This treatment is isolated to the surface because there often isn’t any gum recession. These appointments are typically recommended twice a year for patients with mild gingivitis or healthy gums. Scaling and Root Planing If the bacterial infection has led to deep gum pockets, you may experience some recession. Our periodontist might recommend periodontal scaling and root planing as treatments, which may include removing accumulated debris from under the gum tissue. Gross Debridement A gross debridement assesses your teeth’s overall condition and determines whether you need scaling and root planing. This procedure is typically recommended when your last dental cleaning was over a year ago. Give us a call and schedule an appointment. Schedule Appointment Additional Periodontal Treatment Sometimes, our in-house periodontist recommends additional treatment modalities to support scaling and root planning. For example, we may recommend medication to reduce the bacteria in your mouth, lessen inflammation, and shrink periodontal pockets. Our dental hygienist may apply this medication between pockets to support other treatment methods. Prescription mouth rinses are beneficial for you to use at home. These prescription rinses have ingredients that combat bacteria and can delay the progression of infection. Once your periodontal condition is under control, you will need to routinely return to our office for periodontal maintenance. This involves a deeper cleaning that targets periodontal pockets. These appointments allow the hygienist to remove plaque and tartar from between your teeth and gums. Maintenance appointments may be recommended every three to four months to ensure your gums remain healthy. Managing Your Periodontal Disease Diagnosis Periodontal disease is manageable with proper care. At Santa Monica Dental Office, our periodontist can determine your best treatment options and prepare a customized plan to get your periodontal disease under control. call us today (310) 829-0091 information Terms & Conditions Accessibility Statement We also accept checks and cash location 2901 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 221 Santa Monica, CA 90403 (310) 829-0091 quick links Home Invisalign Patients Meet Us FAQs social Facebook Instagram TikTok © Year Dr. Ellie Farahmand Custom Website & Marketing Terms & Conditions | Best Cosmetic Dentist in Santa Monica Home modern dentistry Dental Exams Dental Implants Composite Fillings Porcelain Veneers Porcelain Crowns Porcelain Fixed Bridges Teeth Whitening Dentures and Partial Dentures Periodontal Treatment TMJ Treatment invisalign patients Patient Information Patient Articles Products meet Dr. Ellie meet Our Team (310) 829-0091 Legal Terms & Conditions Last Updated: August 31, 2023 General Terms and Conditions By accessing or using this website (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and notices contained in this Site Use Agreement.

If you’re missing a tooth, you don’t have to feel uncomfortable with your smile. Our warm and friendly team can use this effective restorative solution to help you love your smile. schedule appointment What Are Porcelain Fixed Bridges in Santa Monica? A porcelain fixed bridge replaces teeth that are missing due to injuries or disease. It is non-removable and custom-designed to fit your smile. These restorations are made from safe, tooth-colored materials and include two major components: the replacement tooth (pontic) and two crowns (abutments). The abutments attach to natural teeth and hold the artificial teeth in place. The pontic is an artificial tooth that fills the empty space. Dental bridges are used to: Restore chewing and speaking ability Fill the space where teeth are missing Prevent remaining teeth from moving from their position Maintain facial shape Replace a removable partial denture As a dentist experienced with restorative and cosmetic dentistry in Santa Monica, Dr. Farahmand produces quality results and stands behind her work. You will typically need two appointments to complete a porcelain fixed bridge treatment. With proper brushing and flossing, you can keep your dental bridge intact for five to fifteen years. Give us a call and schedule an appointment. Schedule Appointment Implant-Supported Bridges In many cases, an implant provides better support than traditional bridge abutments. An implant-supported bridge is a secure and long-lasting tooth restoration. Implants prevent the bone from weakening by integrating with the natural bone and creating a stronger restoration. An implant-supported bridge requires a few implants, depending on how many teeth are missing. The final restoration mimics the appearance and function of your natural teeth.

Exceptional Cosmetic Dentistry for Your Damaged Teeth You may benefit from visiting a cosmetic dentist in Santa Monica for dental veneers. Dr. Farahmand completes a thorough examination before determining whether you need a porcelain crown. She takes advantage of advanced technology in the dental industry. She uses an intraoral scanner to take digital images of the teeth to create a three-dimensional picture. With this technique, you can see the cracks, chips, or decay that must be addressed. Dr. Farahmand also uses this technology to replace the goopy impressions traditionally required for the dental crown procedure. After color-matching your natural tooth, Dr. Farahmand removes the outer layers of the affected tooth to prepare your tooth for a custom restoration. A temporary covering may be required for two weeks to protect it while waiting for the final product to return from the lab. At the second appointment, Dr. Farahmand removes your temporary crown and ensures that the new crown has the perfect fit and looks natural in your mouth. With your approval, the crown is cemented into your mouth and fine-tuned with minor adjustments. before & Afters our DENTAL CROWN results A Warm and Friendly Cosmetic Dentist in Santa Monica If you think you need a dental crown, a skilled and approachable cosmetic dentist is essential.

But many people aren’t willing to use traditional methods like metal braces to correct misaligned teeth because they can take years to achieve results. Invisalign can provide you with faster, more comfortable treatment. These clear teeth aligners are one of the most popular methods for correcting crowded teeth. Invisalign trays are made from thermoplastic material and use pressure to move your teeth into their new positions. Invisible braces like Invisalign are easy to remove and create less discomfort no matter how long you may be required to wear them. An experienced Invisalign dentist of over 20 years, Dr. Ellie Farahmand can create your perfect smile by helping you achieve straight teeth. schedule-appointment Candidates for Invisalign Clear aligners are one of the most effective dental treatments available today. Not only will a clear straightening tray correct crooked teeth, but it can resolve several other dental issues as well, such as: Misaligned or crowded teeth Gaps and spaces between teeth crossbite overbite underbite During your consultation with Dr. Farahmand, she’ll determine whether you are a candidate for Invisalign. The best candidates for Invisalign are the ones who commit to following the recommendations for treatment. Although it is a faster process, you must be dedicated to wearing your trays and only removing them when you want something to eat or drink. For the best results, you will need to wear your trays for a minimum of 20 hours a day. Advantages of Invisalign Perhaps the most obvious benefit to patients in Santa Monica is that Invisalign trays are practically invisible. But there are numerous other advantages, including: No food restrictions No drink restrictions Better ability to brush and floss your teeth No monthly wire adjustments Improved self-esteem No metal wires or brackets mean there is less discomfort; fixed brace brackets cause mouth sores throughout the oral cavity. And clear aligners are ideal for adults seeking to improve their oral health while maintaining their professional appearance. Give us a call and schedule an appointment. Schedule Appointment How Does Invisalign Work? Specialized computer software is used to create your custom plan for moving your teeth and the treatment is divided into phases. Each phase is approximately two weeks and requires custom-made, clear trays that fit over your natural teeth. Dr. Farahmand may need to place plastic “buttons” that help the aligners guide the teeth into a new spot. These rubber bands are helpful when your teeth need to be rotated or moved above the gumline. Your treatment plan includes multiple trays, but the number varies between patients. These aligners apply pressure to your teeth and slowly shift them into a new position. You’ll insert a new tray approximately every two weeks. before & Afters our INVISALIGN results OUR INVISALIGN AND VENEERS RESULTS Achieve a beautiful smile with the combined power of Invisalign and veneers, providing faster and more comfortable results than traditional methods.

Frequently Asked Questions What can I do about bad breath? To combat bad breath, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from your tongue, and stay hydrated. Avoid tobacco and limit foods like garlic and onions. If the issue persists, let us know so we can rule out any underlying problems. If bad breath is caused by an issue such as gum disease or periodontitis, our in-house periodontist can recommend a personalized treatment plan. It’s important to address this condition promptly as untreated gum disease can cause serious health issues in the future. How can I tell if I have gingivitis or periodontitis (gum disease)? Periodontal disease often goes unnoticed as it's painless in early stages. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for detection. Plaque buildup, generating acids, causes inflammation and bone loss. Risk factors include smoking, dental conditions, certain meds, hormonal changes, and systemic diseases. Symptoms encompass red/swollen gums, bleeding, bad breath, spacing, loose teeth, pus, receding gums, and tenderness. Prevention entails oral care, a balanced diet, and dental visits to lower risk. At Santa Monica Dental Office we have an in-house periodontist who will provide a thorough examination and recommendations for your particular condition. Are amalgam (silver) fillings safe? Amalgam (silver) fillings have raised safety concerns due to mercury exposure. However, the American Dental Association (ADA), CDC, FDA, and others consider them safe and durable. Studies show no link between mercury in fillings and health issues. Mercury in fillings combines with other elements, becoming inactive. However, most of our patients prefer tooth-colored fillings made from resin because they are durable and blend right in with the natural color of your teeth. We can match the shade of the filling with the color of your teeth. How often should I have a dental exam and cleaning? Regular dental check-ups and cleanings, recommended at least twice a year, help prevent dental issues and maintain oral health. These visits involve professional cleaning to remove built up plaque and tartar, cavity checks, and various assessments, including medical history, x-rays, oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, existing restoration examination, and teeth polishing. Comprehensive care necessitates frequent check-ups and cleanings to ensure the best oral health. information Terms & Conditions Accessibility Statement We also accept checks and cash location 2901 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 221 Santa Monica, CA 90403 (310) 829-0091 quick links Home Invisalign Patients Meet Us FAQs social Facebook Instagram TikTok © Year Dr. Ellie Farahmand Custom Website & Marketing Home modern dentistry Dental Exams Dental Implants Composite Fillings Porcelain Veneers Porcelain Crowns Porcelain Fixed Bridges Teeth Whitening Dentures and Partial Dentures Periodontal Treatment TMJ Treatment invisalign patients Patient Information Patient Articles Products meet Dr. Ellie meet Our Team (310) 829-0091 Top Cosmetic Dentist in Santa Monica | Dr. Ellie Farahmand Home modern dentistry Dental Exams Dental Implants Composite Fillings Porcelain Veneers Porcelain Crowns Porcelain Fixed Bridges Teeth Whitening Dentures and Partial Dentures Periodontal Treatment TMJ Treatment invisalign patients Patient Information Patient Articles Products meet Dr. Ellie meet Our Team (310) 829-0091 Meet Dr. Ellie Farahmand General, Cosmetic and Restorative Dentist For Ellie Farahmand, DDS, the comfort and care of her patients is her top priority.

Our office uses an intraoral scanner that provides a 3D picture of your tooth, allowing Dr. Farahmand to get a complete view of your teeth before preparing them for restoration. But what exactly are composite fillings in restorative dentistry, and how do they work? What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Composite resin fillings use tooth-colored material to repair teeth that are decayed, cracked, or fractured. When you need tooth decay treatment, tooth-colored fillings can ensure the restoration is unnoticeable. Composite filling material is made from dental resin. It comes in many shades, allowing Dr. Farahmand to match your natural tooth color closely. Also known as white fillings, this material can be shaped to resemble your natural tooth. Composite Filling Benefits Over Silver Fillings Compared to a traditional silver filling, a composite filling comes with a range of advantages. 1. Repairs Cracks and Chips Composite material is useful for restoring chips and cracks in your teeth. Because it bonds and hardens quickly, these aesthetic dental fillings are ideal for repairing cracks and chips in your front teeth. 2. Requires Less Natural Tooth Removal Silver fillings can require the removal of an extensive amount of your natural tooth and any decayed portion. As a result, your teeth can become weaker. Composite fillings don’t require as much natural tooth to be removed, making the tooth stronger than one with a silver filling. 3. Bonds to Natural Tooth Unlike silver fillings, white fillings bond to the natural tooth structure. Dr. Farahmand prepares your tooth and uses a bonding agent to adhere to it. The composite material hardens, adding strength to your tooth. 4. Hardens in a Short Time Once the filling material is in your tooth and shaped, a special blue light is placed over the filling. This light activates the material and causes it to harden. The process takes less than one minute to complete. Give us a call and schedule an appointment. Schedule Appointment When Do You Need Composite Fillings? You may have tooth decay when you experience tooth pain or sensitivity. These symptoms can occur due to excessive plaque and bacteria on your teeth, resulting in tooth enamel erosion and decay. When left untreated, you may experience discomfort and infection. Tooth decay can be detected during a routine dental exam and by using digital dental X-rays. We’ll recommend the best treatment option for your needs, which may include composite fillings.

If you have certain dental health problems, like extensive decay, severe misalignment, bruxism, or gum disease, you may need additional treatment before receiving your veneers. Patients suffering from severe bruxism, or teeth grinding, may not be good candidates for this procedure. At our premier Santa Monica dental clinic, we can evaluate your smile and determine whether veneers are right for your goals. Santa Monica Dental Veneer Expert Creating custom veneers is a meticulous and collaborative process at Santa Monica Dental Office. The journey begins with a consultation between the patient and Dr. Ellie Farahmand, a skilled cosmetic dentist. During this initial meeting, the patient discusses their cosmetic dentistry goals, and together with Dr. Ellie, they may decide that veneers are the solution. Next, a digital scan of the patient's teeth is taken, serving as the foundation for the veneer creation. This digital scan is sent to a specialized dental lab for further customization. At the lab, professional photos are taken, and a ceramist focuses on shade matching. The color, translucency, brightness, and even the nuances that complement the patient's eye color and skin tone are considered to ensure the veneers look both natural and aesthetically pleasing. Trial Period: “Test Drive” Your New Veneers Collaboration continues as the lab and Dr. Ellie discuss the veneer design. The proposed design is then shared with the patient for approval. Only when the patient is satisfied with the proposed design does the process move forward. Using a wax-up model created by the lab, Dr. Ellie fabricates temporary veneers that the patient can wear on a trial basis. This trial period allows the patient to provide valuable feedback regarding the veneers' length, shape, comfort, and overall appearance. Adjustments are made based on the patient's feedback to ensure a perfect fit and appearance. Once the patient is completely satisfied with the temporary veneers, the lab proceeds to craft the permanent veneers, which are custom-made to the patient's specifications. Passionate About Your Dream Smile The creation of custom veneers involves careful planning, precise design, and continuous patient involvement. The temporary veneers serve as a crucial step in ensuring that the final product meets the patient's expectations, providing not only a stunning smile but also the confidence to wear it proudly. Dr. Ellie is proud to invest the extra time and effort it takes to achieve a patient’s dream smile. before & Afters our VENEERS results VENEERS AND TEETH WHITENING Transform your smile with the perfect combination of veneers and teeth whitening for a brighter, more confident you.
