What Are Veneers?

Since 1996, Monica Boniadi, DDS, has owned the Laser and Cosmetic Dental Institute of Orange County. Dr. Monica Boniadi performs a diverse array of dental procedures, including placement of veneers. Veneers are thin porcelain dental coverings that attach to a tooth’s enamel to both reinforce the tooth and restore its natural appearance. Veneers are also used to repair broken or chipped teeth, and to fill in small gaps in cases where braces are not an option. Placing veneers typically requires two visits. At the first visit, Dr. Monica Boniadi will prepare the tooth in question by taking enamel off the surface. She will then create a mold of the patient’s teeth and match color using a dental shade guide. During the second appointment, Dr. Monica Boniadi will place the veneer on the tooth. In most cases, patients do not require anesthesia. Proper care and routine dental cleanings must be implemented to maintain the longevity of the veneers.

Invisalign Offers an Alternative to Braces

 A dentist with 21 years of experience, Monica Boniadi, DDS, performs cosmetic and general dentistry procedures at her practice, the Laser and Cosmetic Dental Institute of Orange County in California. For patients with crooked teeth, Dr. Monica Boniadi offers Invisalign treatments. Invisalign does not use the brackets and wires of braces, which often injure the cheeks and gums. Instead, it employs a series of clear plastic trays worn over the teeth. Almost invisible, these aligner trays slowly adjust teeth into a correct position. Patients change the trays about every two weeks. They wear them about 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating and cleaning. Treatment begins with X-rays, photographs, and molds of the jaw, which are combined into a three-dimensional picture. Invisalign shows where the teeth will move and allows the dentist to estimate the length of treatment. Cases vary, but adults can expect about a year of treatment while the duration for teenagers is comparable to braces. When treatment is complete, patients can use Vivera retainers to keep teeth from returning to their old position. for more information or to schedule an appointment, please call our office at [phone]

Advantages of Porcelain Crowns

Monica Boniadi, DDS, builds on two decades of experience in dental practice. As owner of a private practice in Orange County, California, Dr. Monica Boniadi leverages this experience to offer porcelain crowns and other cosmetic procedures. When a tooth is weak, broken, or otherwise in need of extra support, a crown can provide the necessary structure to keep the tooth functioning. Several types of crowns use metals or stainless steel for stability, but they may not necessarily offer as natural an appearance. Even when covered with a porcelain coating, the metallic base may show through next to the gum line. This may not be as much of a concern if the crown is on a back tooth, but more visible teeth may call for a more natural looking result. All-porcelain crowns tend to provide a good-quality color match with natural teeth. Their translucency offers a good aesthetic blend within the mouth, and they are relatively easy to re-align or alter in shape if necessary. Furthermore, for those patients with a higher level of sensitivity, they offer an added level of biocompatibility and a lower rate of allergic reaction. Patients who may be interested in a porcelain crown should consult with an experienced dentist, who can determine whether the treatment is appropriate.

Dental Procedures - Veneers

An honors graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Dentistry Monica Boniadi, DDS, cares for the oral health of patients near Aliso Viejo, California. At her practice, Dr. Monica Boniadi performs a variety of cosmetic procedures, including the installation of veneers. A veneer is a very thin shell made of porcelain or other materials that a dentist places over teeth to enhance their appearance by modifying color and even shape. Patients may seek out veneers in the event that their teeth are chipped, uneven, have gaps, or have been discolored. During the installation procedure, a dentist first excises a layer of enamel from the teeth roughly equivalent in thickness to the veneer itself. Once the enamel is removed, the dentist takes the measurements necessary to produce precisely calibrated veneers in a lab, a process that can take up to 14 days. After receiving the veneers from the lab, the dentist ensure that they are an acceptable hue and a proper fit. If the veneers check out, he or she will then bond the veneers to the teeth using a powerful cement. Once bonded, the dentist assesses the character of a patient’s bite and makes any required modifications.

The Simple Process of Invisalign, a Comfortable Alternative to Braces

Monica Boniadi, DDS, dentist and owner of Aliso Laguna Family Dental Care, is one of many dentists across the nation who has incorporated Invisalign as part of their practice. Dentists such as Dr. Monica Boniadi recommend Invisalign because of the comfort and convenience it provides in comparison to traditional metal braces. For kids, teens, and adults alike, Invisalign is an innovative and effective alternative to braces at a comparable price. The Invisalign system consists of a series of custom-fitted teeth aligners made from nearly invisible plastic, designed to fit comfortably over the teeth. The aligners gradually straighten crooked teeth, and about every two weeks the patient will receive a new aligner to fit their teeth after they have moved. Invisalign can correct a large range of dental problems, from slightly crooked or protruding teeth to difficult cases of overbite, underbite, and more. If you are considering using Invisalign, the first step is talking to an Invisalign provider – a dentist or orthodontist who has been trained in implementing the Invisalign system. The doctor will use a series of x-rays, pictures, and impressions to create a 3D image of the teeth, which will then be used to map out a treatment plan of desired movements for the teeth, and determine an approximate length of treatment. The process usually takes about a year for adults and about the same amount of time as regular braces would take for kids and teens. The 3D image is also used to create a series of custom-fitted aligners, which can easily be removed before brushing and flossing teeth or eating, though they should be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours each day. While it should be easy to change aligners yourself every two weeks, it is advisable to schedule check-ups about every six weeks so the doctor can monitor progress. Once the process is over and the teeth have moved to their desired position, the doctor may recommend a special Vivera retainer to keep the newly aligned teeth in position.

Potential Benefits of Laser Technology in Dentistry

As owner and practioner of her private dental practice in Laguna Hills, located in Orange County, California, Monica Boniadi, DDS, practices both cosmetic and general dentistry. Committed to using the latest tools in her practice, Dr. Monica Boniadi uses laser technology to perform a variety of procedures. Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a tool in the practice of dentistry, laser technology can make many procedures more comfortable and efficient. As part of a whitening procedure, lasers activate a special bleaching solution and shortens the amount of time the patient must spend in the dental chair. Lasers may also help a dentist remove diseased gum tissue, reshape gum and bone during crown procedures, or remove decay within a tooth. When used in soft tissue procedures, lasers can help reduce the amount of bleeding and swelling that the patient experiences. Laser procedures may be less painful than traditional procedures and, when used to prepare cavities for filling, may lower the risk of ancillary damage to the tooth. The level of precision that a laser offers may also be helpful in minimizing bacteria levels in both soft and hard tissue procedures while potentially shortening healing times.

Invisalign Offers Less Invasive Treatment for Teeth Misalignment

Aliso Laguna Family Dental Care, located in Laguna Hills, California, is owned by Monica Boniadi, DDS. Dr. Monica Boniadi focuses on providing cosmetic dentistry, laser dentistry, and general dentistry services her patients. One procedure patients undergo at her office is getting fitted for braces. Traditional metal braces can be painful, and mean that patients must be mindful of what they eat, to the point of avoiding certain foods. Additionally, many children and adults are self-conscious about the changes in their looks and the changes in their speech because of them. Alternatively, Invisalign braces consist of a clear plastic removable retainer that fits over the teeth. As a result, they are often more comfortable than traditional braces and don’t require restrictions in what foods and drinks the patient consumes. Patients can also take them out and brush their teeth normally. The procedure is recommended for use with permanent teeth, and its invisibility makes it harder to see, which is a plus for many adults. However, Invisalign braces may not be recommended if a patient has a serious misalignment. Additionally, some dental insurance plans may not cover this procedure because it is generally considered cosmetic.

Porcelain Veneers - An Introduction

Dr. Monica Boniadi, a privately practicing dentist for nearly 20 years, regularly performs such aesthetic procedures as placement of porcelain veneers and dental implants. Dr. Monica Boniadi routinely pursues continuing course work in order to provide her patients with access to the latest techniques. Porcelain veneers, sometimes called simply dental veneers, enable a dentist to restore the appearance of a patient's teeth. A dentist may recommend veneers for teeth that are broken, worn down, or chipped, as well as for those that are by nature misshapen or crooked. Patients may also receive veneers to close a gap between teeth that are too far apart, or to correct discoloration that stems from previous treatment or exposure to staining agents. After consulting with the patient to discuss the procedure and determine ideal results, the dentist shaves off approximately 0.5 mm of surface enamel. The dentist then takes an impression, which a laboratory then uses to construct a model. The patient returns for a placement visit, at which time the dentist cements the veneer in place. Afterwards, most patients return only for regular maintenance and cleaning of the area.

The Benefits of Invisalign

An accomplished dentist, Monica Boniadi, DDS, provides Invisalign and other innovative care options through her Laguna Hills, CA dental office. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that allows patients to straighten teeth without relying on unsightly metal braces. Instead, Invisalign involves aligners composed of clear plastic that patients wear over their teeth. About every two weeks, under the supervision of an oral health provider like Dr. Monica Boniadi, a patient transitions to a new aligner that further improves his or her smile. Invisalign achieves comparable results to traditional braces without many of the drawbacks. For instance, the clear-plastic aligners permit patients to eat foods that they would have to avoid with metal braces. Because patients can remove the aligners at will, they can brush their teeth and perform other oral hygiene activities as normal. The aligners are also very difficult to see and thus preserve the cosmetic integrity of a patient’s smile. In terms of Invisalign’s cost, many dentists and orthodontists offer payment plans, and many insurance policies that cover traditional braces also cover Invisalign.

Dental Anxiety Management

An experienced dentist who offers patients the latest in laser dental technology, Monica Boniadi, DDS, has been in the dental field for two decades. Dr. Monica Boniadi has won awards year after year for a variety of aspects of her practice. To succeed as a DDS, dentists have to develop strong skills in dealing with a variety of types of patients, including those with dental anxiety. Managing dental anxiety without pharmaceuticals can help patients feel as though they have more control over their dental experiences and can ultimately lead to better results. Patients often feel more secure if they have a negotiated stop signal, such as a raised hand or a gesture, which will lead to a temporary pause in treatment and an assessment of current issues. Knowing what will occur during the procedure, including a clear description of surgical instruments and techniques, can also help some patients feel more at ease. For patients who do not respond to these techniques, distraction can often help. Dr. Monica Boniadi has exceptional skills in managing patients anxieties.

About Dental Veneers

A member of the American Dental Association, Monica Boniadi, DDS, practices laser and cosmetic dentistry in California. Dr. Monica Boniadi specializes in metal-free partial dentures, porcelain crowns, bridges, and veneers. Made of porcelain or resin, dental veneers offer individuals the opportunity to improve their smiles and their self-confidence. Veneers are commonly requested to hide chipped, broken, or worn teeth and are custom made to fulfill each person’s preference. They also improve the look of tooth misalignments and gaps. For individuals who have undergone a root canal procedure that resulted in tooth discoloration, veneers mask the imperfections. The product itself comes in the form of wafer-thin shells. Not only can a professional shape a veneer to a specific shape, length, and size, they can match colors to ensure that a shell looks authentic next to a patient’s other teeth. For a more natural look, porcelain veneers are ideal, as they mimic the light-reflecting properties of real tooth enamel. However, applying resin veneers involves removing less of the tooth surface compared to porcelain veneers because they are extremely thin.
