Wisdom Teeth Extraction - Oral Surgery

Dr. Dayan is a gentle and experienced dentist skilled in performing oral surgery at his Beverly Hills practice. Our staff understands the anxiety that surrounds oral surgery, especially wisdom teeth extraction, but with Dr. Dayan, there is little reason to worry.

Around our late teens or early twenties, our wisdom teeth (or third molars) begin to arrive. In many cases, however, the jaw is not large enough to accommodate the extra teeth and they become impacted, remaining under the gum. Impacted teeth can cause several further complications including infection, crowding, damage to adjacent teeth, cysts, and others. It is usually much easier to remove wisdom teeth and impacted teeth before complications arise. Our dentist follows patients' teeth growth to predict the arrival of wisdom teeth. When they begin to arrive, Dr. Dayan will discuss your oral surgery options at Dental Arts of Beverly Hills for wisdom teeth removal.

Periodontics and Gum Therapy

Periodontal (gum) care is an extremely important element in overall oral health. Gum disease can lead to lost teeth and other serious health problems. Dr. Dayan performs every procedure available to restore periodontal health and aesthetics including tissue grafting and oral surgery in Beverly Hills. These procedures include soft tissue management (STM) and Tri Immuno Phasic (TIP) periodontal therapy as well as soft tissue grafting to improve esthetics and support around the tooth. Dr. Dayan also performs bone grafting to increase support to teeth with failing bone, prepare for an implant, and improve esthetics. Contact Dental Arts of Beverly Hills to discuss your oral surgery and other options at our Beverly Hills practice to keep your gums at optimal health.

Gum Disease May Relate to Heart Attack Risk

Studies have shown that people with periodontal (gum) disease are twice as likely to experience heart disease because the most common strain of bacteria in dental plaque may cause blood clots. When blood clots escape into the bloodstream, there is a relation to increased risk of heart attacks and other heart illnesses.

People with periodontal disease (more than 50 percent of the adult population) have an infection that causes chronic inflammation of the gums. Also, it is a path for these bacteria to enter the bloodstream.

A recent study describes the association between heart disease and gum disease to be at least as strong as its link to cholesterol, body weight, or smoking. To keep your gums healthy, you need an experienced gum disease specialist. Contact Dr. Dayan to schedule a consultation today! At Dental Arts of Beverly Hills, we are committed to long-term dental health.

Endodontics - Root Canal Treatment

To keep teeth healthy, it is sometimes necessary to remove damaged tissue from inside the root canals. Commonly known as a root canal, endodontics covers both surgical and non-surgical treatment of diseased or damaged tooth nerves. Inside every tooth is a long, thin strand of dental pulp that can become infected, which causes the tooth's nerve to die. Without endodontic treatment, the tooth may die as well.

Occlusal Analysis

One of the most important components of a healthy mouth is proper occlusion. Occlusion is the way our teeth come together as we bite, and the relationship of the opposing dentition as we close. In a situation when a person's bite is not proper, a person can develop:

· Periodontal Problems
· Broken or Chipped Teeth
· TMJ Problems
· Chewing Difficulties

An occlusal analysis gives us many clues to dental problems that the patient may not even be aware of. It is very important to isolate the source of the problem. By only addressing the problem itself, and not the source, a recurrence of the problem is likely to occur. Improper occlusions, or bad bites, often result from:

· An orthodontic situation where teeth are not aligned properly
· Bruxism, clenching, or occlusal trauma
· Unrestored missing teeth
· Uneven skeletal jaw growth
· Crowding of the teeth

Sometimes, a person grinds or clenches their teeth together, called bruxing. When a person grinds their teeth, he/she starts to abrade their teeth away and sharp tips are ground down or chipped off.

The sharpness of teeth is very critical to the grinding of food. As the sharp cusps are abraded away and become blunt, we can no longer chew effectively; rather, one starts to pound the food. The digestive process starts with the efficient chewing of food. If the food is not chewed well before swallowing, greater burden is placed on the digestive system and the food is not digested properly.

Occlusal analysis plays a fundamental role in proper treatment. Many cosmetic dentists are merely concerned with fulfilling the esthetic desires of their patients. Dr. Dayan understands the incredible importance of factors like occlusion. At Dental Arts of Beverly Hills, we are committed to long-term dental health. Contact us today for a consultation with Dr. Dayan.

TMJ and Bite Therapy

For those suffering from TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), we offer several effective treatment methods. As part of our goal to achieve total oral health, we provide an occlusal analysis for every patient. Occlusion is the way our teeth come together as we bite, and the relationship of the opposing dentition as we close our mouth. Improper bite is a common cause of TMJ. Many who clench or grind their teeth will also experience TMJ. We offer special splints and oral therapy to restore optimal occlusion and prevent damage due to grinding. There is no reason to live with the pain related to TMJ. Contact our Beverly Hills office today to schedule a free consultation with Dr. Dayan.

Dentures

For those who have lost some or all of their teeth, removable dentistry is a popular option. Full or partial dentures can be fabricated, and in many cases, implants can be used to aid in the support and function of the denture. For patients with cosmetic concerns, we can create a cosmetic partial denture so that no "clasps" will be visible. To discuss the many variations of removable dentures available for tooth replacement, please contact Dr. Dayan, the leading cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills.

Children's Dentistry - Pedodontics

The sooner a child begins to learn about dental health, usually around the age of four, the better. We offer every possible means of oral treatment, maintenance, and prevention for the care of your child. Dr. Dayan offers consulting to expecting mothers on the safest types of bottle pacifiers. He also discusses proper care of the infant's oral cavity until the child is ready to see us.

Once children begin regular dental visits, we provide fluoride treatment to prevent cavities, oral hygiene instructions to better clean the teeth and gums, sealants to prevent cavities, orthodontic consultations, and a variety of restorative procedures. We also help children discontinue tongue thrusting and thumb sucking. Dr. Dayan and his caring staff work incredibly well with children. We know how to satisfy their special needs and keep them happy. To set your child on a path to proper dental health, contact Dr. Dayan today. We look forward to meeting you and your family.

Pregnancy and Your Oral Health

Congratulations on your pregnancy! While it's important to eat healthy and exercise appropriately, you also need to take good care of your teeth and gums. Scientists have recently learned that your oral health may affect your baby's birth-weight.

Thanks to an important study by researchers at the University of North Carolina, scientists have found a connection between a serious gum disease, called periodontitis, and pregnant women whose babies were born too early or at a low weight.

How can periodontitis affect my baby?

As in other infections, when you have periodontitis, your body tries to fight it to stay healthy. Scientists believe that this fight produces byproducts and chemicals that can travel through your blood stream into other parts of your body. If these chemicals reach your uterus (womb), they may cause you to go into labor before your baby has fully developed.

According to some estimates, periodontitis may contribute to as many as 45,500 preterm, low birth-weight babies every year in the United Stated alone. That is more than those attributed to smoking and alcohol use.

What You Can Do?

Visit your dental professional several times while you are pregnant to have a dental examination and your teeth cleaned. Also, make sure to brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day. Contact Dr. Arman Dayan at Dental Arts of Beverly Hills to keep your mouth healthy for you and your baby.

Bad Breath Management

Causes of halitosis range from plaque buildup to periodontal disease and oral infections. Dr. Dayan offers many treatments for those suffering from bad breath. He will work with you to locate the source of the problem and develop an effective treatment plan. Contact our Beverly Hills office to discuss your treatment options.
