No one wants to suffer from bad breath, so store shelves overflow with products like mouthwash, mints, and gum. But, even when they leave you feeling minty fresh for a moment, they’re only a temporary solution.
Our dentists are often asked about bad breath at Sargon Dental, with offices in Encino and West Hollywood, California, and Pleasant Grove, Utah. Here they break down the causes of this unwanted condition and what you can do to eliminate it.
Bad breath basics
There’s a reason why mints and mouthwashes don’t offer long-term solutions: They don’t address what’s causing your bad breath. These odors can develop for a few reasons, but they often originate in your mouth.
Poor dental hygiene
One of the main causes of bad breath involves bad oral hygiene. When you have a combination of bacteria and decaying food particles in your mouth, they release an unpleasant odor. This can also occur if you have dentures you don’t properly clean daily.
Gum disease
Ignoring bacteria, plaque, and tartar build-up in your mouth can cause gum disease. This serious oral infection affects the soft tissue in your mouth, leading to bad breath, loose teeth, and tooth loss.
Dry mouth
Believe it or not, saliva actually helps to keep your mouth clean and decrease odor. If you don’t have enough saliva, it can cause issues with your oral health — including bad breath. You can experience dry mouth for various reasons, including salivary gland conditions or taking certain medications.
Smoking
It’s no surprise that cigarettes smell bad, but they can also dry out your mouth and create bad breath. Smoking also increases your risk of gum disease, so there’s never been a better time to quit.
When bad breath doesn’t start in your mouth
While the worst breath starts in your mouth, that’s not always true. Other culprits include:
Your diet
When you consume foods with strong odors, like onions and garlic, your stomach absorbs its oils during digestion. From there, they enter your bloodstream and travel to your lungs. This process creates an odor that can impact your breath for up to 72 hours.
Sinus or throat conditions
If you have an infection, you can experience bad breath. Common conditions that lead to breath odor include:
You can also develop bad breath from tonsil stones or postnasal drainage.
Certain diseases
Sometimes, unpleasant breath can indicate a health condition, like diabetes, kidney disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). These conditions usually cause fairly distinct odors, which can give clues to the cause. For example, uncontrolled diabetes often causes breath to have a fruity fragrance. However, when you suffer from kidney or liver failure, it could have a more fishy aroma.
Resolving bad breath
Fortunately, there are solutions for bad breath once you know its cause.
Our dentists can help diagnose what’s causing your symptoms during a dental visit and make personalized recommendations for your treatment. Sometimes, a simple cleaning could be all you need to resolve your odor issues. In others, you may need treatment for more serious dental problems, like gum disease.
If it doesn’t seem like your bad breath is coming from your teeth or mouth, we can also direct you to a physician to rule out other underlying conditions.

One of the most versatile tools in our cosmetic dentistry arsenal is veneers. These ultra-thin porcelain shells provide new and improved fronts for your teeth. In doing so, they can correct a host of dental imperfections.
At Sargon Dental in Encino and West Hollywood, California, and Pleasant Grove, Utah, our experienced dental professionals offer a full menu of cosmetic dentistry services, including dental veneers.
Veneers are about the same thickness as a contact lens and are permanently affixed to the outer surface of your teeth. They are custom fabricated to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.
Veneers are incredibly versatile and can remedy more imperfections than you may realize. These include:
Discoloration not corrected by whitening
If the dentin inside your teeth is discolored, traditional whitening products may not be effective. To reclaim a gleaming smile, consider veneers. They can be any shade you choose; you can go whiter — much whiter — than whitening can achieve.
Chipped and cracked teeth
Veneers provide the perfect cover for chips, cracks, and teeth of uneven lengths. Veneers can give your teeth a smooth, even appearance while preventing further cracking and decay.
Worn or dull teeth
Like the rest of your body, age creates wear and tear on your teeth. Dental veneers can give a facelift to teeth that are worn or dull.
Misshapen teeth
Misshapen teeth not only detract from your appearance but can also create a misaligned bite. A misaligned bite can result in such problems as chronic headaches and jaw pain.
Gaps between teeth
If you have a gap between your two front teeth, orthodonture isn’t your only solution. Instead, two veneers fabricated slightly larger than your current teeth can often correct the problem in only a few weeks.
More benefits of veneers
Dental veneers look and feel natural. They require minimal enamel removal to apply. They are stain resistant. In addition, maintenance is easy too. As with the rest of your teeth, simply twice daily, floss once daily, and have a dental checkup and cleaning bi-annually.

If you long for a more youthful complexion and would prefer to skip invasive options, such as surgery, you may want to consider platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Using elements of your own blood, this treatment stimulates your skin’s natural healing properties for a more radiant look.
At Sargon Dental, in Encino and West Hollywood, California, and Pleasant Grove, Utah, our team is pleased to offer PRP therapy as a way to rejuvenate your skin and reduce signs of aging.
Aging and your skin
As you age, all of the tissues in your body change — your skin included. Over the years, and especially after middle age, your skin becomes thinner and loses some of its plumpness.
Your skin may also appear less smooth and translucent, while cuts take longer to heal. These factors, paired with your lifestyle habits, make way for fine lines, sagging, and wrinkles.
Your skin may show more signs of aging if you have particularly fair skin or have spent plentiful time in the sun or tanning beds without UV protection. Smoking and drinking in excess can cause your skin to age faster, too.
How anti-aging PRP therapy works
Everyone’s blood contains plasma and platelets, which are important sources of growth factors and proteins that accelerate healing.
Our anti-aging PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood and processing in a centrifuge to separate out the most platelet-rich part. Dr. T injects your PRP solution into target areas on your skin to address a range of common complaints, including:
PRP therapy may also tighten puffy skin and reduce the appearance of undereye bags.
Anti-aging PRP therapy results
While results from anti-aging PRP therapy vary, we find that patients experience improved skin tone and texture within four weeks of their treatment. Your results will appear gradually, as the healing properties in your skin work their natural magic.
While one PRP treatment may suffice, many people find that a series of up to three sessions brings the most pronounced results. In general, you can expect your results to last as long as 18 months.
We use a special technique and advanced technology to extract PRP that contains autologous white blood cells. While more research is needed, we find that this type of plasma has a higher enrichment rate than conventional PRP methods. In other words, your skin may have a richer glow after your treatment compared to PRP skin therapy performed elsewhere.

Dental health in the United States isn’t great. Missing teeth is a very common issue, but not nearly as prevalent as tooth decay. Far more people have cavities than don’t. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
At Sargon Dental, in Encino, California, the West Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, and Pleasant Grove, Utah, our staff and team of talented dentists want to encourage you to practice excellent dental hygiene and get regular care. Those two simple steps can prevent many common oral health issues.
Along with common-sense preventive care, we want to help you identify and overcome some widespread bad habits that cause problems for your teeth.
Not keeping your teeth clean
One of the most common reasons people experience tooth decay comes down to something very simple: not keeping your teeth as clean as you should. The best way to take care of your teeth involves:
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: You should brush your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day and floss at least once. Unfortunately, many people don’t floss, either because they feel like it’s too time-consuming, too much of a hassle, or they don’t like how it feels.
Flossing is the best way to remove buildup from bits of food that get trapped between your teeth, leading to plaque buildup. The plaque serves as nourishment for harmful bacteria. That bacteria erodes your teeth and eventually leads to decay.
If you hate flossing, we recommend you try a water flosser system. These powerful devices shoot jets of water in between your teeth to dislodge trapped debris.
Brushing too hard
Often, when people know they should be flossing but don’t, they try to make up for it by brushing extra hard. Or, maybe you just really want to make sure you’re doing a good job. But brushing too hard is a very bad habit, especially if you use a brush with stiff bristles.
Instead, we encourage you to use a soft-bristled brush in a gentle, circular motion. Brushing carefully and gently can protect the enamel on your teeth, which protects you from the harmful bacteria that lead to tooth decay.
Nail biting
Chewing or biting your nails can chip your teeth. Plus, nail biting is bad for your jaw. If life is stressful, try some deep breathing exercises! Treating yourself to a nice manicure might also help you stop biting your nails.
Grinding your teeth and clenching your jaw
If you have frequent aches in your jaw, it could be due to grinding or clenching. Many folks do this when they feel stressed without even realizing it. Both habits can wear down your teeth.
Often, teeth grinding happens at night, while you’re asleep. If you’ve had unexplained headaches or you notice your jaw hurts in the morning, come in and talk with us. Your dentist can see signs of grinding, and we can fit you with a night guard to protect your teeth.
Eating ice
Do you chomp on ice? This is quite dangerous for your teeth. You’re risking breaking or chipping a tooth every time you do it.
Not protecting your mouth when you play sports
If you play sports, use the proper gear. If a mouth guard is recommended, wear one. We can help you understand which options are best for your mouth and your sport.
Eating hard candy
If you feel hard candy is a good alternative to chocolate, we urge you to reconsider. If you eat it slowly, hard candy coats your teeth in sugar, and that encourages tooth decay. If you chew hard candy, you risk breaking or chipping your teeth just as if you’re eating ice!
These are just a few tips based on some common bad habits we see. If you have questions about caring for your teeth, or if it’s time for your routine exam, we would love to see you! Schedule an appointment today by phone or online at our Sargon Dental location most convenient for you.
Your smile is one of your best accessories. Not only does smiling boost your confidence, but it also delivers some serious health benefits. Smiling relieves stress, boosts your mood, and even helps lower your blood pressure.
At Sargon Dental, we give you one more reason to smile. Our expert team is on a mission to help you fall in love with every aspect of your smile, from your pearly whites to full, plump lips. That’s why we offer three types of lip augmentation here in our Encino and West Hollywood, California, offices.
Take a few moments to learn more about your lip augmentation options.
Explore the possibilities with lip augmentation
Lip augmentation refers to any procedure that augments 一 adds volume to 一 your lips. Here at Sargon Dental, we offer hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, fat transfers, and AlloDerm™.
You might be a good candidate for lip augmentation if:
Depending on which option you choose, your results can last from 12 months to several years.
3 reasons to treat yourself to lip augmentation
During your consultation, our team reviews your aesthetic goals and your health history, and determines which type of lip augmentation is best for you. When you receive lip augmentation with us, you can expect the following benefits:
1. Easy process, beautiful results
Regardless of which type of lip augmentation you choose, the process is simple. Each lip augmentation is performed under local anesthesia right here in our office, and you’re able to go home afterward.
Dermal fillers require less downtime than AlloDerm, but rest assured that our team provides you with all of the preparation steps you need.
2. Results are long-lasting
Dermal fillers last from 12-24 months, but maintenance treatments help you maintain your look. These injectables plump up your lips thanks to the superpowers of hyaluronic acid.
Your body already produces hyaluronic acid, and it works like a sponge, drawing water into it. This helps your lips stay supple, soft, and oh-so-plump.
Fat transfers, on the other hand, can last a lifetime. During this 60-90 minute procedure, we transfer unwanted fat from one area and inject it into your lips.
AlloDerm is a similar soft tissue injection, but this process uses sterile tissue rather than unwanted fat from your body. Both fat transfers and AlloDerm are designed to last for years on end.
3. Boosts your confidence
As with any cosmetic treatment 一 wrinkle reduction with Xeomin®, teeth whitening, or veneers, 一 lip augmentation boosts your confidence, and when you love your smile, it shows!
’Tis the season to treat yourself! Schedule your lip augmentation consultation and show off your brand-new smile this holiday season. Call Sargon Dental or request an appointment through our website.
It’s officially holiday shopping season here in sunny California, but don’t forget to treat yourself! Give yourself the gift of youth and refreshen your appearance with Xeomin® injections here at Sargon Dental in Encino and West Hollywood, California.
Dr. Mitra Tahvildarian is an expert in wrinkle reduction, which is why we offer dermal fillers and neuromodulators to our patients in the greater Los Angeles area.
If you’re considering a refresh before you start the holiday party circuit, here’s what you need to know about Xeomin.
What is Xeomin and how does it treat crow’s feet?
Dynamic wrinkles form from repetitive facial expressions, unlike static wrinkles that form due to collagen and volume loss. Xeomin and other neuromodulators only address dynamic fine lines and wrinkles.
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a highly purified, FDA-approved injectable that helps reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Unlike other neuromodulators on the market, Xeomin is double-filtered using XTRACT Technology,™ so you never receive more than you need.
Xeomin gently relaxes specific facial muscles 一 muscles that otherwise contract to form crow’s feet and other dynamic wrinkles 一 without any extra proteins or additives. When the nerves in these muscles are relaxed, they’re less likely to contract to form those pesky crow’s feet.
Because Xeomin is “naked,” that is, free from unnecessary additives, it can actually help prevent resistance to your Xeomin injections over time.
Scheduling your appointment before the festivities
One question we hear frequently is how to time your appointments before a big event. The effects of Xeomin are evident shortly after your visit, but you may not want to walk into a party if you have any post-treatment redness. Redness is common but temporary.
You may start to see skin-smoothing effects in about 3-4 days, with optimal results about 30 days later. Xeomin lasts about three months.
In other words, now is the perfect time to get started so you feel refreshed for the upcoming holidays.
Getting ready for your appointment
In the days leading up to your Xeomin treatment, avoid taking blood-thinning supplements or medications, including aspirin, anti-inflammatories (such as Advil), ginkgo biloba, vitamin E, and fish oil supplements.
Supplements that contain blood-thinning compounds may increase post-treatment bruising and bleeding.
Note: Never stop or alter any prescribed medications unless directed. If you aren’t sure if any of your supplements are blood-thinning, bring your list to your consultation.
Xeomin injections take about 20 minutes, and anesthesia isn’t needed. We may apply a topical numbing cream for your comfort, though. After your appointment, you may experience a little redness, but you’re free to continue on your day.
Treat yourself this holiday season! Learn more about Xeomin 一 or other cosmetic services such as lip augmentation 一 at Sargon Dental. Call the location of your choice or simply request a consultation through our website.
Having your teeth whitened is a subtle but powerful way to transform your appearance. The enamel on your teeth naturally gets thinner with age, allowing the dentin beneath to show through. By whitening your teeth, you can look younger.
Other things can cause discoloration, as well, but regardless of the cause, you’ll likely feel better about how you look with a brighter smile. All the providers at Sargon Dental are experts in using the most advanced teeth whitening system available on the market today: Philips Zoom! We know that you’ll be happier with results from this professional whitening than with over-the-counter products, and in this post, we explain why.
Why you need whitening
Your teeth are coated with extremely hard, durable enamel, which is naturally some shade of white, although the exact color can vary. Even though enamel is tough, its color can be affected by several factors, including:
Foods and Beverages
You may love that morning cup of coffee or tea, but it can stain your teeth! In fact, many foods and beverages are common causes of discoloration. Berries, beets, and red wine are also well-known stainers.
Age
Enamel, like so much else in our bodies, breaks down over time. That allows your yellowish or grayish dentin to show through. You may maintain a perfect dental hygiene routine and still end up with discolored teeth!
Lifestyle factors
Smoking and chewing tobacco are notorious for staining your teeth. Avoiding tobacco use is good for your health and for your smile. Poor hygiene is another common cause of discoloration that comes down to daily habits.
Certain medications can cause discoloration, as well.
Regardless of the reason your teeth aren’t as white as you’d prefer, we can help!
Philips Zoom! is the best choice
You may think that grabbing a kit at your local drugstore is the most convenient way to whiten your teeth, but chances are that you’ll end up disappointed with the results. You may be able to see some difference, but it’s unlikely to be noticeable to others. Worse yet, it’s unlikely to last. Over-the-counter products contain weaker ingredients and are simply less effective.
Highly trained professionals like the providers at Sargon Dental are qualified to work with stronger chemicals and know how to keep you and your teeth safe. The Philips Zoom! The gel we use contains up to 40% hydrogen peroxide, which is a far higher concentration than in over-the-counter products.
Another factor to consider is the speed of transformation. Over-the-counter kits are designed to deliver results slowly, but the Zoom! A Whitening system can change your teeth by as much as eight shades in a single, one-hour visit.
When you arrive, we clean your teeth thoroughly, getting rid of surface stains, plaque, and bacteria. Next, we use rubber guards and protective gel to prevent damage to your gums or soft tissue. The last step is to apply a professional-strength whitening compound to your teeth and use a special light to activate it and speed up the whitening process.
The compound application and light process are repeated up to four times in 15-minute increments until we reach the desired level of whitening. Once your teeth are sparkling and white, brush your teeth, rinse thoroughly, and get back to your life with a smile you’re proud to show off.
Make it last
The results from the Zoom! The Whitening system should last for one to three years, but you need to do a few things to make that happen, such as:

It’s easy to fall behind on your bi-annual dental cleanings. After all, you aren’t experiencing serious tooth pain and other aspects of life – your job, family, and social life – seem far more pressing at any given moment. Although you might not be excited about your dental visit and find it a hassle to schedule, it’s necessary to keep your teeth and mouth in tip-top shape.
Bi-annual dental cleanings are important even if you have pristine at-home oral hygiene habits.
Bi-annual dental cleanings aren’t only about your oral health. The state of your mouth has a far-reaching impact on your overall health. The same harmful bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease can take a ride through your bloodstream, traveling to other parts of the body and raising the risk for other problems including heart disease.
Here at Sargon Dental, Sargon Lazarof, DDS, Dan Dansie, DDS, and Nathan Nguyen, DDS, understand the impact of dental care on your overall wellness.
During these bi-annual visits, your dentist can spot the subtle signs of tooth and gum problems before they’re noticeable to you. This is just one reason why attending your regular dental checkups plays a vital role in your oral and overall health.
Get a clean-feeling smile
You know that you need to practice good dental hygiene at home by brushing after meals and flossing regularly. Even if you’re really good about this home cleaning, bacteria are crafty at getting into the nooks and crannies of your teeth and gums where they hide out and breed. They release harmful enamel-eroding acids that cause dental decay and gum disease over time.
When you visit Sargon Dental at any of our offices in Encino, California, West Hollywood, California, and Pleasant Grove, Utah, our team performs professional dental cleanings to remove harmful bacteria.
Our expert hygienists also polish your teeth to brighten your smile. We also offer treatments that reduce the buildup of bacteria and strengthen teeth.
Avoid dental health problems
Our experienced dentists can detect problems at their earliest stages when they’re easier to treat and can even detect potential issues before they start. When you skip a biannual checkup, you delay the detection and treatment of a possible dental problem. Then by the time you do visit us, the damage may have already been done.
Attending your six-month dental checkups and cleanings means you greatly reduce your risk of major cavities and serious gum disease. Your bi-annual visits are also a time to establish a relationship with a dental provider so that when tooth decay does occur, you have a trusted dentist to contact.
Prevent oral cancer
More than 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer each year. We screen for oral cancer at every one of your bi-annual visits. When detected at its earliest stages, oral cancer is much more likely to be successfully treated.
Promote overall wellness
The bacteria that cause cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease don’t just affect your mouth. Your gums have a rich blood supply that connects to the rest of your circulatory system.
The harmful oral bacteria infiltrate your entire bloodstream and raise the risk for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. When you protect your oral health, you’re protecting your overall well-being.
Preventing dental problems reduces the chance that you’ll need complex dental procedures, like root canals, dental implants, and root scaling and planing.
If you’re due for your bi-annual dental visit, now is the time to schedule. Contact Sargon Dental by phone or use the online tool to schedule your appointment and reap the benefits.
If you long for a younger-looking appearance when you see yourself in photos or in the mirror, you may want to consider Radiesse®. This popular line of dermal fillers can take years off of your appearance without the hassle or risks involved with cosmetic surgery.
At Sargon Dental in Encino and West Hollywood, California, Mitra Tahvildarian, PhD, CFMP, AGNP — affectionately known as “Dr. T” — is pleased to provide Radiesse fillers for adults seeking a more youthful look. Radiesse fillers also can compliment your updated smile after dental treatment, such as teeth whitening.
Take a few minutes to learn more about Radiesse, including popular benefits and areas it can treat to give you a more youthful appearance.
What causes wrinkles and sagging
Skin sagging and wrinkles, including fine lines and deep folds, are common with increasing age. While most people experience some amount of them, several things increase your risk of severe wrinkling, including:
Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin also stem from lost elasticity and plumpness in your skin over time. Some of this has to do with lower levels of natural proteins such as elastin.
How Radiesse works
Dermal fillers work by adding volume or restoring plumpness to smooth your skin. Radiesse does so with a gel-like solution containing calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) that we inject strategically into your skin.
And it brings an additional benefit. Unlike other fillers, Radiesse doesn’t merely fill in lax and wrinkled areas. After your treatment, it gradually spreads throughout the treatment region and stimulates the production of collagen. This is important, given that collagen helps keep your skin supple, and your skin produces less of it with increasing age.
Each filler treatment is quick, taking less than a typical lunch hour, and the injected solution contains lidocaine for comfort. If you’re not interested in undergoing cosmetic surgery and other anti-aging efforts you’ve tried aren’t enough, this minimally invasive treatment can be a game-changer for your appearance.
Popular uses for Radiesse
Radiesse fillers can treat moderate to severe wrinkles and deep folds in a range of areas. They’re FDA-approved for use on your face and hands. Common concerns Radiesse effectively addresses include:
Immediately after your treatment, you notice improvement. Within a week, you can expect to fully see your results while Radiesse continues to work beneath your skin to boost collagen. From there, your results may last for as long as two years.
To learn more about Radiesse or to get started on treatments that can give you a more youthful appearance, call Sargon Dental or request an appointment through our website.
Did you know that about 120 million people in the United States are missing at least one tooth? And 36 million are missing all of their teeth?
Whether you’re missing one or many, tooth loss can affect your physical and emotional well-being. But with advances in dental technology, you can restore your smile quickly.
At Sargon Dental, our highly skilled providers, Sargon Lazarof, DDS, Dan Dansie, DDS, and Nathan Nguyen, DDS, have the perfect solution for missing teeth: Ultratooth™ dental implants.
Invented and pioneered by our own renowned Dr. Lazarof, Ultratooth gives you a fully functional replacement tooth in a single office visit.
Here, we want to talk about the benefits of Ultratooth for replacing your missing teeth.
1. Quick dental implant procedure
During a traditional dental implant procedure, your dentist places the dental implant (tooth root) into your jawbone. Then, you wait for several months for your jawbone to heal around your implant before getting your permanent crown.
With Ultratooth, there’s no waiting period. We place your permanent root and crown into your jawbone in one office visit. This is true whether we replace one tooth or several teeth.
Ultratooth is the only FDA-cleared device that allows you to replace damaged or missing teeth in one office visit.
2. Immediate use of dental implant
The Ultratooth dental implant is fully functional right away. There’s no need to modify your diet for healing. In fact, you can eat what you usually eat right after your procedure.
So how is this possible? With both regular implants and Ultratooth implants, the tooth root is implanted into the jawbone. But here’s where Ultratooth stands alone. With Ultratooth implants, once the root is inserted into the jawbone, the root expands out to create four points of contact within the jawbone.
So, even as the jawbone heals around the new tooth root, the implant is ready for immediate use, because the root is securely in place. There’s no need to wait for the jawbone to grow around the implant before placing pressure on it, as is needed with traditional implants.
3. Restores your natural smile
After we place your Ultratooth implant, we attach a custom-made crown to it. This crown looks and feels like your natural teeth, restoring your usual look and smile.
We can place an individual Ultratooth root and crown at the site of each missing tooth to recreate your natural smile.
4. Maintains jawbone health
When you chew, the roots of your teeth stimulate your jaws. This is important, because this causes your jaws to continue to replace old jawbone tissue with new jawbone tissue.
If you lose a tooth, however, the loss of stimulation can cause your body to stop generating new tissue at that location. This, in turn, can cause your jaw to lose bone mass in the area. And this can lead to sunken cheeks, wrinkles, and premature facial aging.
Ultratooth, however, prevents this from happening. An Ultratooth implant acts just like your natural tooth root. When you bite and chew, the prosthetic device stimulates your jawbone, helping it maintain its natural strength and function.
5. Easy care and maintenance
Ultratooth is easy to care for and requires very little maintenance. You brush and floss your Ultratooth just like your normal teeth. We also recommend coming in for a professional cleaning and checkup every six months.
And you should also treat your new tooth like your natural teeth by not biting on ice cubes, your nails, or other hard objects, as doing so could chip your crown.
6. Long-lasting results
Ultratooth is a long-term solution for missing teeth. Once in place, your prosthetic tooth root and crown can last a lifetime.
Do you have one or more missing teeth? Find out how Ultratooth may be able to help you by booking an appointment online or over the phone with Sargon Dental today. We have offices in Encino and West Hollywood, California, and Pleasant Grove, Utah.
