Your First Visit
We usually reserve about 1 to 1 1/2 hours for your Initial Comprehensive Exam appointment. Oral Cancer Screening and TMJ evaluation is included as part of our Comprehensive Exam. Oral hygiene instructions will be provided along with suggestions to help you care for your teeth. In most cases, we will also clean your teeth on this visit and when leaving you will receive a copy of the proposed treatment plan and all different options as explained earlier to you in detail by Dr Hashemian. There is enough time to ask any questions and discuss any concerns about your dental treatment with Dr Hashemian.
If you like to seek a second opinion with us please try to bring the latest Radiographic X-rays so we can better address your concerns. We will be happy to compliment that information with Intra oral Images to address your concerns.
Before & After Photos
Smile Design = The art of restoring the teeth so no one but you and your dental confidents know how you have improved your smile!
Dr. Hashemian designs the smile considering the age and sex of the patient, factors adversely affecting patient's bite such as clenching and grinding, as well as positioning and the thickness of the gum. Using Laser Technology we can make the smile as natural as possible with modifying the architecture of the gingiva.

Emergency Information
Begin by cleaning around the sore tooth meticulously. Using warm salt water, rinse the mouth to displace any food trapped between teeth. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you use aspirin on the aching tooth or on the gum. In the event of facial swelling, apply a cold compress to the area. For temporary pain relief, acetaminophen is recommended. See a dentist as soon as possible.
Cut or Bitten Tongue, Lip or Cheek
Ice can be applied to any bruised areas. For bleeding, apply firm (but gentle) pressure with sterile gauze or a clean cloth. If the bleeding does not stop with pressure or continues after 15 minutes, go to an emergency room.
Broken Tooth
Rinse the area with warm water. Put a cold compress over the facial area of the injury. Recover any broken tooth fragments. Get immediate dental attention.
Knocked Out Permanent Tooth
Recover the tooth, making sure to hold it by the crown (top) and not the root end. Rinse, but do not clean or handle the tooth more than necessary. Reinsert the tooth in the socket and hold it in place using a clean piece of gauze or cloth. If the tooth cannot be reinserted, carry it in a cup containing milk or water. Because time is essential, see a dentist immediately.
Other Emergency Conditions:
Possible Broken Jaw
In the event of jaw injury, tie the mouth closed with a towel, tie or handkerchief. Go immediately to an emergency room.
Cold or Canker Sores
Over-the-counter medications will usually provide temporary relief. If sores persist, visit your dentist.
