Dental Fillings
We use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that are virtually invisible, mercury-free, and bond directly to the tooth structure for added strength.
Key Benefits
- Mercury-free composite material
- Matches natural tooth color
- Bonds to tooth for added strength
- Completed in a single visit
What to Expect
The decayed area is removed, the tooth is cleaned, and the composite resin is applied in layers, shaped, and cured with a special light. The filling is then polished to a natural finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do composite fillings last?
Typically 5–10 years, depending on location and oral hygiene habits.
Can old silver fillings be replaced?
Yes — we can replace amalgam fillings with modern tooth-colored composites.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns cap damaged or weakened teeth, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth using adjacent teeth as anchors. Both are made from tooth-colored ceramic for a seamless, natural appearance.
Key Benefits
- Restores full chewing function
- Natural-looking ceramic materials
- Protects underlying tooth structure
- Fixed, non-removable solution
What to Expect
The tooth is prepared and a digital impression taken. A temporary restoration is placed while your permanent crown or bridge is fabricated. It's bonded securely at your next visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do crowns last?
With good care, crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer.
Will a crown look natural?
Absolutely. We match the color and shape precisely to your surrounding teeth.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted wafer-thin shells that cover the front surface of teeth to correct color, shape, size, or length.
Key Benefits
- Corrects multiple issues simultaneously
- Stain-resistant porcelain material
- Minimally invasive placement
- Instantly transformed smile
What to Expect
Dr. Saboor takes digital impressions, removes a minimal amount of enamel, and places temporary veneers. Your permanent, custom-crafted veneers are bonded at a follow-up visit and polished to perfection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do veneers last?
High-quality porcelain veneers typically last 10–20 years with proper care.
Do veneers require special care?
Standard brushing and flossing apply. Avoid biting very hard objects and grinding.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth from extraction. With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests. We may refer you to a specialist for the best outcome depending on the complexity of the case.
Key Benefits
- Eliminates pain from infection
- Saves your natural tooth
- Single or multi-visit procedure
- Modern, comfortable techniques
What to Expect
Under local anesthesia, infected tissue is removed, canals are cleaned and shaped, filled with a biocompatible material, and sealed. A crown is typically placed to restore strength. We may refer you to a specialist for the best outcome depending on the complexity of the case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a root canal painful?
With modern anesthesia, most patients report root canals are no more uncomfortable than a filling.
How long does it take?
Most root canals are completed in one to two appointments lasting 60–90 minutes each.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use a series of custom trays to gradually shift teeth into their ideal position. They're virtually invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and more comfortable than traditional braces.
Key Benefits
- Nearly invisible aligners
- Removable for eating and hygiene
- Comfortable with no metal brackets
- Predictable digital treatment planning
What to Expect
We take digital scans of your teeth and create a 3D treatment plan. You receive a series of aligners to wear for most of the day, changing trays on a set schedule as teeth move.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most cases complete in 12–18 months, though simple corrections may be faster.
Can I eat with aligners in?
No — remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a trusted option for tooth replacement. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone and topped with a custom restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Key Benefits
- Permanent, long-term solution
- Preserves jawbone and facial structure
- Natural look, feel, and function
- No impact on adjacent teeth
What to Expect
The process involves a consultation, 3D imaging for precise planning, implant placement, a healing period, and placement of a custom restoration. Dr. Saboor guides you through every step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do implants last?
With good oral hygiene, implants can last a lifetime.
Am I a candidate for implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and adequate bone density are candidates. We'll assess this during your consultation.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Our periodontal treatments range from deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to ongoing maintenance to arrest disease progression and restore gum health.
Key Benefits
- Stops disease progression
- Reduces risk of tooth loss
- Improves overall systemic health
- Multiple treatment options available
What to Expect
We measure pocket depths, assess bone levels via X-rays, and create a treatment plan. Deep cleaning removes tartar below the gumline, and follow-up maintenance appointments support long-term gum health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is gum disease reversible?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible. Advanced periodontal disease is manageable with proper treatment.
Can gum disease affect my overall health?
Yes — research links untreated gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Children's Dentistry
Dr. Saboor has a gentle, patient approach that puts children at ease. We create positive dental experiences to eliminate fear and establish lifelong oral health habits.
Key Benefits
- Gentle, kid-friendly approach
- Early cavity prevention
- Habit coaching for parents and kids
- Positive first dental experiences
What to Expect
Visits focus on comfort first — a friendly intro, exam, cleaning as appropriate, and age-right guidance for home care.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
We recommend a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting.
How do you help anxious kids?
We go at their pace, explain each step simply, and keep the environment calm and encouraging.
Stellar Dentistry Service
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth can cause crowding, pain, and infection when they erupt incorrectly. We evaluate each case carefully and remove teeth when needed for long-term oral health. We may refer you to a specialist for the best outcome depending on the complexity of the case.
Key Benefits
- Prevents crowding and damage
- Relieves pain and pressure
- Reduces infection risk
- Careful evaluation before treatment
What to Expect
After exam and imaging, we review options and plan a comfortable extraction with clear aftercare instructions. We may refer you to a specialist for the best outcome depending on the complexity of the case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all wisdom teeth need removal?
Not always. We recommend removal when they are impacted, painful, infected, or threatening nearby teeth.
What is recovery like?
Most patients recover over several days with rest, soft foods, and prescribed or recommended pain management.
