Sincere Smiles

Dental Examination
It is recommended by the ADA (American dental association) to see a dentist within the first 6 months of tooth eruption which usually is by the child’s first birthday. Routine dental exams can uncover early problems that could be treated an earlier stage with minimal damage. And if anything else your child gets used to the dental chair at an earlier age, so by the time he/she has full set of teeth they will be very comfortable in a dental office.

X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
I was impressed with her professionalism and skill and easy-going manner and followed up with a teeth cleaning afterwards. Later on, I’ll be seeing her for the new advanced Zoom teeth whitening. The Invisalign process was simple and she has all the latest hi-tech dental equipment that made the experience comfortable and reassuring. And if you’ve ever get frustrated or antsy or restless during your dental treatments, be sure to ask Dr. Vafai to offer you DVD movies with a wireless headset – before you know it, the entire visit to the dentist will fly by. I’d wish I stayed longer so I can finish the entire movie! Good job Doctor Vafai – great service and superb dental office – see you again real soon!

Fillings
Veneers
Porcelain veneers, sometimes referred to as laminates, are ultra-thin custom-made ceramic shells which are bonded directly to the front teeth, providing a brighter, straighter, natural-looking smile. Porcelain veneers can be used to treat badly stained, crooked, chipped, or broken teeth. Veneers can also correct minor misalignment’s. Their versatility makes porcelain veneers one of the most common cosmetic dentistry options currently available.
Crowns
Do you have a single discolored tooth? Have you been told that the only way you can whiten that tooth is to place a “cap” or “crown” on it?
Bridges
One way to do fill the gap, is a dental bridge. If the teeth surrounding the gap (missing teeth) have enough bone support and are healthy, a bridge is an option to replace the missing tooth. In this case the two surrounding teeth on either side are prepared (just like they would for receiving a crown) and will provide an anchor for the missing tooth. This is usually a two step process. On your first visit the teeth will be prepared and an impression will be taken of the teeth. You will be sent home with a temporary bridge. The impressions are sent to a trustworthy lab and approximately two weeks later you return for your second visit and the final bridge will be glued in place. After that all you need to do is continue your home care and regular dental checkups to assure the health of the teeth and tissues around the bridge.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
For the first few days after a root canal treatment, your tooth may feel sensitive, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure. This discomfort can be relieved with over-the-counter or prescription medications. Take the medication before the anesthesia wears off. Generally, for adult patients, 3 tablets of 200mg Ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) are recommended every 6-8 hours. If you cannot take Ibuprofen because of a medical condition or stomach disorder, acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be taken instead. Generally in adult patients, 2 tablets of 500mg are recommended every 4 to 6 hours. Aspirin and aspirin containing products are not advisable, as they tend to increase bleeding from the area that was treated. If antibiotics were prescribed please take all medication as directed. Female patients currently taking oral contraceptive or using other hormonal based contraception need to use an additional birth control method if antibiotics are prescribes, as they can lower the effectiveness of your contraceptives. Try to eat a soft food before taking medication to avoid stomach sensitivity. Your tooth may continue to feel slightly different from your other teeth for some time after the root canal is completed. You should not chew or bite on the treated tooth until you have had it restored. The unrestored tooth is susceptible to fracture.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Periodontal Surgery
Plaque will cause gums to swell and form gingivitis, if left untreated the bacteria work their way down into the bone and ligaments of the teeth and cause the bone to melt downwards and causes a deep space between the teeth which is called pockets. This type of gum disease is called periodontitis. If caught in the Gingivitis stage gum disease is usually reversible with proper brushing and flossing techniques. However, once it reaches the periodontitis stage, the bone that has been lost will be irreversible, but with deep cleaning or periodontal surgery the pockets can be reduced to help with any further bone loss.
Deep Cleaning
I dreaded going to go in for anything regarding my dental hygiene, but after getting 3 fillings filled, a deep cleaning, and some work done on my gums, I can honestly say that Dr.Vafai is one of the best dentists I’ve ever had. She is super gentle, and communicates with you during the entire process. She makes you feel very comfortable, and she is a true pro at numbing, I didn’t even feel a single pinch! I also love that she has movies available for you to watch to distract you. I would 100% recommend Sincere Smiles! I am looking forward to have regular visits here!

Dentures
One of the choices you may have is to replace the missing teeth with a denture. A denture is a removable appliance for missing teeth and it can replace one or more of your missing teeth. There are two types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when you are missing all of your teeth, while partial dentures are used to replace a few missing teeth. A Partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting. Dentures are very durable and can last several years, but may have to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to normal wear.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that the Dentist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
It is normal for wounds to seep small amounts of blood for the first 24 hours after a surgical procedure, thus causing blood stains in your saliva. The first few hours following your surgical procedure bite on fresh sterile gauze. If bleeding persists use a slightly damp tea bag to bite on or apply firm pressure with the tea bag over the wounded area. Swelling may occur within the first 48 hours following surgery and may last up to one week. During the first 2-4 hours after the procedure use an icepack over face in the operated area for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. If you do not have an icepack, a plastic bag with ice cubes or a frozen bag of peas will suffice. Take over-the-counter or prescription medications as directed to you on your visit. Aspirin and aspirin containing products are not advisable, as they tend to increase bleeding from the area that was treated. If antibiotics were prescribed please take all medication as directed. Female patients currently taking oral contraceptive or using other hormonal based contraception need to use an additional birth control method if antibiotics are prescribes, as they can lower the effectiveness of your contraceptives. Try to eat a soft food before taking medication to avoid stomach sensitivity. If Vicodin (or other similar pain medications) were prescribed do not drive while taking these medications. For the first 24 hours do not rinse your mouth and refrain from using anything that can cause a vacuum in your mouth, such as using a straw, spitting or smoking. Hot liquids should also be avoided as they tend to dissolve blood clots and bleeding occurs. Juices with citrus acids may cause stinging and should also be avoided for the first day following the procedure. Rinse with warm salt water (8oz warm water with one teaspoon salt) 24 hours after procedure for the first week after. Brush and floss as usual, except brush gently in area of surgery. In case of extreme pain, uncontrollable bleeding, or any unusual disturbance, please call the office at once.

Orthodontics
A lot of parents ask, aren’t the baby teeth going to come out eventually? Baby teeth hold the space for our permanent teeth. If a baby tooth becomes decayed it can cause pain and infection, damaging the permanent teeth below them, Causing the permanent teeth to develop stains, pits and weaker teeth. If a baby tooth is lost too early due to decay, the space necessary for the permanent tooth to erupt will get lost and will only be able to regain that space through orthodontics such as braces.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Sincere Smiles is now offering membership plans for our uninsured patients. If you currently no not have dental insurance and have been postponing your dental needs this may be a good option for you. With payments as low as $34/month you can keep up with your regular dental checkups, xrays and cleanings and also receive %15 off all dental treatment including Invisalign. Most Individual dental insurances have high monthly fees, waiting periods, exclusions, high deductibles and copays, limitations and more. With our membership plans you have predictable monthly fees with peace of mind of coverage it provides. See our Membership plans page.
Braces
Each set of Invisalign (clear braces) aligners are designed to be replaced after approximately 20-22 hours per day for two weeks, wear trays at all times and remove before eating meals, after meals brush and replace aligners on your teeth. When ready to change to a new set of aligners (after two weeks), place your new set before going to bed. It is preferred that the first time you wear a new tray that you have it on for 6-8 hours without being removed, therefore before bed is the best time to change trays. When coming to your Invisalign checkup appointment, always wear and bring the current set of aligners that you are wearing. Dental tenderness may be experienced following initial aligner placement and after switching to each new aligner in the series. If needed you can take between 200mg to 800mg Ibuprofen depending on the severity. Always store aligners in a cool, dry place. Never throw away your old aligners. Keep all aligners in a bag in cases needed for future use. Keep aligners away from hot water and harsh chemicals.. Keep aligners out of reach of young children and pets. The product may temporarily affect speech and may result in a lisp, although any speech impediment associated with the product usually disappears within one or two weeks. Temporary increase in salivation or dryness of mouth may occur.

Teeth Whitening
Bleaching does not “damage” or “weaken” your teeth. Bleaching is simply an oxidation reaction where electrons are being exchanged. When you are bleaching them they become temperature sensitive. The sensitivity goes away once you stop bleaching them.
Cosmetic Dentistry
I was born in the USA and moved overseas with my family as a child. I graduated among the top of my class from Isfahan Dental University. After practicing dentistry for a few years post graduation, I moved back to the USA. Upon meeting all requirements, I was certified by the Dental Board of California. Prior to establishing my practice, I gained further experience in Family and Cosmetic Dentistry through having had the privilege of associating with several of the best dentists in the bay area.
General Dentistry
Dr. Fatima Vafai is also a “Fellow” of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), having earned a minimum of 500 approved continuing education credits and passing a comprehensive 400-question examination on current topics and research techniques in dentistry.
