Hawthorne Dentist

Ganji Dental offers services that cover both general and special dentistry. We will look at different areas of special dentistry below, but here, let's look at some of our most commonly used services in the realm of general dentistry:

• Dental examinations, including advanced digital x-rays. We examine every corner of your mouth for all possible dental or periodontal problems.
• Dental Cleanings. By practicing good dental hygiene day by day and then getting one or two dental cleanings per year, you greatly improve your overall oral health.
• Tooth fillings. We can identify and eliminate caries (cavities) in your teeth and then protect your tooth with a white resin composite filling that matches the color of your tooth. We can also use another kind of filling if you prefer.
• Dental crowns. Not only are crowns used to cap dental implants, but they also can strengthen a cracked, chipped, or badly worn natural tooth. Crowns come in many varieties, and we can help you decide which type is best for you and your tooth.
• Root canal surgery. When cavities aren't caught in time, and the inside of a tooth is too badly damaged and infected, it may be time for a root canal. We at Ganji Dental are adept at properly drilling and cleaning inside an infected tooth, dealing with surrounding gum infections, and in filling the tooth with gutta percha. We can also crown the root canal tooth.
• Dental bridges. If only one or two teeth are missing in close proximity, a dental bridge may be able to solve the problem. There are both fixed and removable bridges to consider.
• Dentures. Dentures can be partial or full and fixed or removable. They can also be secured to dental implant roots (four implants support an upper or lower jaw denture piece).
• Extractions. Ganji Dental can handle not only simple extractions, but also complex tooth extractions where teeth must be split or are wedged against other teeth. This includes extraction of wisdom teeth.

When you have a whole family of mouths to (not only feed) but to care for as to oral health, it can be quite challenging. At Ganji Dental, we make it as convenient and affordable as possible. We offer services for people of every age and cover all manner of dental services anyone in your family will probably ever need.

We understand how difficult it can be to schedule dental appointments when you work and when you have a busy family. That's why we keep ourselves as flexible as possible and offer same day appointments where possible - and also respond quickly to dental emergencies.

Expenses can pile up fast when you're raising and caring for a family with children, and we at Ganji Dental fully understand that. That's one of the reasons why we keep our prices very competitive. We also accept numerous different types of dental insurance and multiple payment methods and offer workable payment plans and financing to our customers.

You can't plan emergencies. And a dental emergency, where your dental appliance has fallen off (such as a crown or bridge), where a tooth has been knocked out or loosened, or where excruciating pain is throbbing due to a toothache or cracked or chipped tooth, demand immediate attention.

Ganji Dental provides you with 24/7 dental emergency assistance and care. We can get you in to see us on short notice for emergencies. You can't always plan months, weeks, or even days in advance for a dental appointment - and we understand that and accommodate you.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, do not hesitate to contact us. We can help you to get in touch with the right people even after hours!

While removable dentures and bridges are still popular, titanium root dental implants are fast gaining in popularity. The reason is simple: they are far and away the best overall tooth loss restoration solution. 

Dental implants consist of a titanium root (rod) that fuses to the jaw bone, passes through the gum tissue, and is capped with a modern, tooth-colored dental crown. A supportive post may or may not be needed as well. The end result is that dental implants are firmly attached to your jaw and look, feel, and function just like ordinary teeth.

Also, you don't have to remove, clean, and reposition dental implants like you do dentures. And it's not any more difficult to care for them with brushing and flossing than it is your natural teeth. Dental implant surgery is successful 99% of the time, and 98% of the time with same-day implants. And in the unlikely event of a problem with your implants, your dentist will be able to correct it.

Dental implants avoid many of the issues that come up with dentures and bridges. They do not wear down your alveolar bony ridge nor cause your gums to get sore or bleed. They do not require to be attached to neighboring teeth. Nor do you need to replace them every few years - they last decades and usually for a lifetime!

Although some need preliminary bone graft or gum graft surgery to prepare for dental implants, and other solutions might be preferred by some in certain situations, dental implants are normally the best answer to tooth loss.

When teeth are seemingly permanently stained yellow, at least in part, or look dulled and dirty no matter how much you brush, it can be embarrassing and depressing. And many of the teeth whitening systems you can buy in the store simply don't do a good enough job.

At Ganji Dental, we offer you ZOOM Teeth Whitening system, which is proven and well received by large numbers of dentists as the number one teeth whitening method available today.

Many of our dental patients have come in with teeth stains they thought could never be removed and left, after one short dental visit, with teeth looking two or three shades brighter.

Ganji Dental offers a number of different cosmetic dental procedures to improve your smile. Dental bonds and veneers are among the simplest and most common such procedures.

A dental bond is simply a bonding agent that closely mimics the look of tooth enamel and covers over small imperfections on a tooth. It's often used if you have a tiny fissure or chip or even stain you want to conceal. Bonding is completely safe in your mouth, lasts a long time, and doesn't cost that much.

A dental veneer is generally made of porcelain and is as thin as a piece of paper. It is like a wafer that covers over the front side of a tooth to conceal stains or other imperfections below. When visual problems with a tooth are a bit larger, you normally choose veneers over bonding. Plus, sometimes, a veneer can extend slightly past the edge of a tooth to close too-wide interdental gaps.

A dental crown is really an artificial tooth that sits on top of either a natural tooth that is in some way damaged, a root canal tooth, or a dental implant rod. 

There are many kinds of dental crowns to choose from, and we at Ganji Dental can equip you with any type you prefer. We can give you the relevant information so you can decide on whether a porcelain, ceramic, resin, metal, meta-and-porcelain or other crown-type is right for you.

Despite the importance of dental implants, there are still times where bridges or dentures may be a good choice. 

Bridges work well when you need to replace only one or two teeth far in the back of your mouth. Dentures are cheaper than implants, can be used temporarily before you're ready for implant surgery, and are a viable alternative when you aren't a good candidate for implants or you simply don't want them.

Modern bridges and dentures come in many different forms and are greatly improved as compared to those of years gone by. Plus, permanent dentures can be attached to four implant rods if you desire.

It's always better to save your natural tooth wherever possible, and in the case of a badly infected tooth, root canal surgery may be the way to do that, instead of getting an extraction followed by a dental implant or other tooth restoration option.

With root canals, we first remove the infected tooth "pulp," then carefully clean out the tooth canal, next fill in the tooth with gutta percha, and finally, place a dental crown on top of the tooth.

A root canal tooth can last 10 to 20 years and is a great way to avoid an extraction. It may not always be a permanent solution, but it's a very long term solution and will allow your root canal tooth to function normally for years to come.

Especially with kids, but also sometimes with adults, misaligned and drifting teeth are a major problem. At Ganji Dental, we have multiple ways to solve these types of problems.

Traditional braces come in many styles and brands, and they are sometimes the only viable option. But in many cases, you can also opt for Invisalign acrylic dental trays. These trays are almost invisible from a distance so that many won't even know you're wearing "braces."

Invisalign trays come in a series that gradually shifts your teeth into proper position over a period of, usually, about a year or less.
