At Tysons Dentistry, we are proud to offer an array of services in one convenient location to help you and your family easily achieve excellent oral health.
Our team is made up of professionals who are highly trained and committed to providing you with up-to-date treatments in a friendly, comfortable setting
State - of - the - Art Technology
Dr. Sanati is one of the few dentists in the Vienna, VA area who performs laser dentistry.
WaterLase dentistry allows us to do a wide range of dental work comfortably, efficiently, and precisely. Laser dentistry can be used for cosmetic dentistry treatments like gum contouring to eliminate a "gummy" smile. Gentle lasers can also remove oral growths and relieve the pain of cold sores and fever blisters
Digital x-rays significantly reduce your exposure and help us obtain a more detailed image of the inside of your teeth than we can with traditional x-rays.
Our intraoral camera allows us a greater degree of visual clarity, making diagnosis easier and more accurate. Both types of technology make it possible for us to show you exactly what we're seeing so that we can make decisions about your treatment together
Using laser dentistry, we remove decay and prepare teeth for fillings, often without the need for shots.
We can perform non-invasive laser treatment to remove gum disease, making painful gum surgery a thing of the past
Dental Care for the Whole Family
We know that sometimes you're so busy, it seems like there just aren't enough hours in the day.
High quality dental treatment is essential to your well-being, and we make it as easy as possible for you and your family to get the care you need without frustration or stress
Our preventive services like dental cleanings and exams are necessary to maintain your optimal oral health.
We are also happy to offer pediatric dentistry for children two years and older to help them get a head start on a lifetime of great oral health
If your kids are involved in sports, we can create custom-made mouth guards to protect them from injuries to their teeth.
Dental emergencies are just a part of life, and we always allow time in our schedule so that we can see you or your child the same day - especially if you are in pain
Your Whole and Healthy Smile
Despite our best efforts to keep all your teeth healthy, circumstances may make it necessary for us to perform treatments to restore a damaged tooth.
If you have missing teeth, we can help you decide if bridges, dental implants, or dentures are the most appropriate solution for your situation
Dental crowns can improve the appearance of a tooth and also protect and strengthen teeth that have been damaged by decay or dental trauma.
Our tooth-colored composite material can be used to create natural-looking fillings or to correct cosmetic flaws like cracked or chipped teeth. The result is beautiful, durable restorations that are virtually undetectable
We know that procedures like root canals and tooth extraction can be stressful for many people
and Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram have the experience necessary to perform both of these with efficiency and precision. Our professional team will help you through the process with compassionate support, and we also offer sedation options like nitrous oxide that help you get through treatment with little stress or discomfort
Cosmetic Dentistry
Are you unhappy with the appearance of your smile?
Most people will say that there is something about their smile that they'd like to change, and we offer services like Zoom teeth whitening, Invisalign clear braces, and porcelain veneers to help you achieve the beautiful smile you were born to have
Home-Like Atmosphere
At Tysons Dentistry, our goal is to offer superior dental care and extraordinary customer service.
We believe that you deserve to be treated with the same level of care and attention that we would expect for ourselves. Our professional team works together to help you feel like a welcome part of our family, and our priority is to make sure that every visit to our office is enjoyable and stress-free
We know that financial considerations play an important part in the decisions you make about seeking dental treatment.
Our financing options include CareCredit, CitiHealth and Springstone. We also accept most dental insurance, but we encourage you to call our Vienna, VA dental office if you have any questions
Sedation Dentistry in Vienna, VA
Dental phobia is a problem that affects millions of people.
Depending on your level of anxiety, you may delay visits to the dentist or avoid treatment altogether
At Tysons Dentistry, we value your oral health, and we know that you do, too.
We combine compassion and understanding of your concerns with advanced sedation dentistry to help ease your fears so you can take control of your own oral health
All the Support You Require to Relax
If you've had an unpleasant dental experience in the past, it may be impossible to believe that dental treatment can be a comfortable, stress-free experience.
Ongoing fear of dental work is a very understandable reaction to this type of experience
We realize that this fear can dominate your thoughts as you approach any dental treatment, and our team will walk you through your treatment process
taking the time necessary to answer your questions. We are your support team throughout dental treatment
Sedation Options to Fit Your Needs
Using state-of-the-art sedation methods, we will help you achieve a state of deep relaxation, making it possible for you to have your dental procedure without feeling a thing. Your sedation treatment will be custom-tailored to fit your procedure, treatment timeline, and comfort level
Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is very effective for many patients with dental phobia. If you experience mild anxiety, nitrous oxide will help you achieve a state of gentle relaxation during your procedure. There are no side effects with nitrous oxide, and once we stop administering the gas, you will be able to resume your normal activities - a great benefit for busy families and professionals who need to return to work!
Oral sedation
If you experience debilitating dental anxiety, we suggest oral sedation. For many people, anticipation of the dental visit may be more stressful than the treatment itself. To alleviate this pre-treatment anxiety, Dr. Sanati or Dr. Shahram will prescribe a calming medication to be taken about an hour before your appointment. You will arrive at our office in a calm state, and a member of our professional team will be by your side throughout the procedure to make sure you are completely comfortable. We can combine oral sedation with nitrous oxide to ensure that you have a completely stress-free experience
Maximize Your Time in the Dentist's Chair
Using sedation dentistry, our dentists are often able to complete more dental treatments in a shorter period of time.
If you have multiple dental problems that need to be addressed, talk to our dental team about whether our sedation dentistry methods are appropriate for the type of treatments you need
Your Comfort is Our First Priority
We understand how upsetting even the most basic treatments can be for people who suffer from dental phobia.
Your comfort is as important to us as it is to you, and you can be assured that we are here to make you feel safe and secure
If you've been putting off dental treatment, we would love the opportunity to show you the difference that supportive, gentle care can make.
We've created a stress-free environment, and our team will work to make you feel at home from the moment you arrive
Resin Infiltration for Treating White Spots
At Tysons Dentistry, we're committed to staying current with the most updated dental techniques designed to benefit your oral health.
We're especially focused on finding treatments that are less invasive and cost - effective
If you have white spots on the smooth surface of your teeth or small defects on the enamel between your teeth, we offer an innovative new procedure called resin infiltration.
Resin infiltration is a complicated-sounding term for a fairly straightforward process that can resolve both these problems
Resin Infiltration
Resin infiltration works by penetrating and filling the enamel to eliminate white spots and defects between teeth with a less invasive, pain-free alternative to more aggressive treatments.
There is no need for injections or drilling with this procedure
We start by isolating the gums to avoid any sensitivity.
The tooth is then cleaned, etched, and dried. Next, a specially formulated gel is rubbed on the surface of the dental enamel. After a brief waiting period, the gel is washed away
If we're treating white spots, we'll know immediately if the proper results were achieved.
If not, we'll immediately repeat the procedure. For defects between teeth, we may need to take an x-ray to determine if the procedure was successful
Stopping Cavities Before They Start
Sometimes a small defect can begin to form on the surface of a tooth that touches the surface of a neighboring tooth.
It's not really a cavity yet, but without treatment it will gradually spread and damage the inner portion of the tooth. Many dentists take a "wait and see" attitude about these defects
At Tysons Dentistry, however, we can choose resin infiltration to immediately treat the defect and prevent it from becoming a full-blown cavity.
Using this method, we also eliminate the need for having to drill and fill the tooth later. You'll find more information about this process in this informative video
What Causes White Spots on Teeth?
The process of resin infiltration can eliminate most white spots and is a cost-effective way to correct an esthetic problem without the need for more involved procedures like porcelain veneers. The results are outstanding, and patients who have had the procedure done at our Tysons Corner dental office are thrilled with the outcome. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings, the results of this procedure are permanent. You can learn more about the process of removing white spots in this video. White spots on your teeth are noticeable and detract from your beautiful smile. They can occur for several reasons:
One of the most common reasons for white spots is related to poor oral hygiene around braces, where white spots develop after the braces are removed.
White spots may also appear as the result of a defect in the development of the enamel, referred to as hypocalcification.
Fluorosis is another reason for white spots to develop.
The condition is caused by an excessive intake of fluoride by children before their teeth are fully developed. Resin infiltration is most effective for mild fluorosis
Call Today for More Information
We want to provide you with all the information you need because we understand that this is a new type of procedure and you probably have a lot of questions.
If you'd like to do more online research yourself, you can find more details here. Otherwise, please give us a call, and we'll be happy to arrange a consultation with Dr. Sanati or Dr. Shahram to explain the procedure and the ways it may benefit you
Occlusal Splints & Mouth Guards in Vienna, VA
Occasional teeth grinding is very common and experienced by most people at one time or another.
For some people, teeth grinding (bruxism) is a chronic problem that can wear down and even destroy their teeth
Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram have helped many people with bruxism and understand that the causes can vary widely from person to person.
We tailor treatment to fit your specific needs, and we can usually provide the relief you need with a simple, custom-made night guard - also referred to as an occlusal splint
What Causes Teeth Grinding?
The result of teeth grinding is different for each person.
Studies indicate that almost 70% of bruxism is caused by stress or anxiety that affects you while you sleep, often without your knowledge
Bruxism can also be related to problems with your dental bite.
This occurs is when your top and bottom teeth do not meet properly when chewing. Missing or crooked teeth can also lead to teeth grinding and clenching
How Can an Occlusal Splint Help?
The term "occlusal" refers to the position of your dental bite.
Occlusal splints are a simple, non-invasive tool that we use to reduce teeth grinding and protect teeth from wear and tear. The splint is made using an acrylic resin that is designed to gently reposition the jaw as it moves from front to back and side to side. It is custom-made to fit perfectly over a few teeth or all of your teeth
Are Occlusal Splints Different from Mouth Guards?
An occlusal splint has one specific purpose - to alleviate the symptoms and problems associated with teeth grinding
Mouth guards are used to protect the teeth during sports and other physical activities
Dentists estimate that up to 39% of dental injuries occur while playing sports.
We highly recommend custom mouth guards for protection if you or your child play soccer, baseball, basketball, or football or engage in non-contact activities like rollerblading and skate boarding
Mouth guards made at Tysons Dentistry are much more effective than "boil and bite" or stock versions.
Custom mouth guards are durable, comfortable, and offer the best protection. We create mouth guards using exact impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit that fully protects your teeth. Custom mouth guards that are made to fit your teeth also make breathing and speaking easier
Contact Our Office for More Information
Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram are highly experienced and trained to find and treat the causes of teeth grinding.
We want to help you get the relief you need and protect your teeth from the excessive wear and tear that results from teeth grinding and clenching
Dental Implants in Vienna, VA
Losing a tooth due to dental decay or trauma is an upsetting experience for anyone.
You not only have to deal with the aesthetic impact of a missing tooth, but you also lose the functionality of the tooth, making it difficult to chew and speak properly. Until recently, the only options for replacing teeth were treatments like bridges and dentures that only fill the space left by the missing tooth
Dental Implants
A Tooth Replacement That Looks and Feels Natural
At Tysons Dentistry, we want to help you achieve excellent dental health and feel great about the way you look when you smile.
Dental implants are a tooth replacement option that improves your appearance, functions like a natural tooth, and protects your oral health. Thousands of people have experienced the positive effect that dental implants have had on their lives
An Innovative Solution for Missing Teeth
If you're not familiar with the way dental implants work, we can assure you that they are a truly remarkable innovation!
Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement that actually mimics the structure of a natural tooth. They have been used successfully for many years to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or most of your smile
A dental implant is a very small titanium root that is surgically placed directly into the jawbone.
Over time, the titanium root bonds fully to natural bone and tissue, forming a stable foundation for the dental restoration that will be attached to it. Once the process is complete, the dental implant looks and functions just like your natural teeth
The Health-Conscious Choice
Dental implants don't just solve the aesthetic problem that results when you're missing a tooth - they actually help maintain your ideal oral health.
Since the titanium post is inserted into your jawbone, it prevents your natural teeth from shifting and becoming unstable. The support provided by the implant also prevents jawbone deterioration, a common result of tooth loss
Dental Implants Enhance Your Lifestyle
Dental implants allow you to eat, drink, and speak with ease.
They are comfortable, long-lasting, and enhance the appearance and functionality of your smile. Dental implants are often used to retain full or partial dentures, eliminating discomfort and embarrassing shifts that many denture wearers experience
Supportive, Stress-Free Environment
We want every visit to our Vienna dental office to be a pleasant, stress-free experience for you.
You will always be treated like a member of our family because we know that building a positive, long-lasting relationship with you is the best way to help you achieve optimal oral wellness
Our convenient hours and patient-friendly scheduling allow you to make appointments that fit in with your busy lifestyle.
We accept most insurance plans and offer affordable financing options like CareCredit, CitiHealth, and Springstone
We would love to show you the difference that our professional, caring approach can make to managing your dental health.
Please contact our office for more information or to schedule a convenient appointment. We look forward to hearing from you!
Teeth Whitening in Vienna, VA
$250 Off in March!
A fresh, white smile can literally change your life.
It refreshes your appearance, and nothing draws people to you like a beautiful smile. If your smile doesn't live up to your expectations, teeth whitening is an effective procedure that can take a weathered, timeworn smile and give it a new life, brilliance, and sparkle
Convenient Teeth Whitening Options
Depending on your personal preferences and goals, our Vienna dental office offers teeth whitening options that will totally rejuvenate a dull, tired-looking smile.
A professional in-office treatment using Zoom teeth whitening provides remarkable results in under an hour
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace, a professional at-home whitening kit is the answer for you.
We will be happy to help you decide which system is more appropriate for helping you achieve your desired results
Why Whiten?
Do you ever wonder what happened to that unspoiled smile you had when you were a kid?
As a child, your teeth were bright white because your young enamel had not had time to wear down and develop microscopic cracks
As you age, these tiny cracks attract debris and stains caused by a lifetime of delicious encounters with everything from red wine to coffee and dark berries.
Eventually, everyone's teeth develop stains, but discolored teeth can be brightened quickly and effectively in a single trip to the dentist
Fast, Effective Zoom Whitening
Zoom professional teeth whitening is a system that has been used safely for many years with outstanding results. For your convenience, we offer two methods for whitening your teeth:
Professional In - Office Whitening
The great thing about in-office whitening is that it is so efficient. You simply sit back, relax, and let us take your smile from dull to dazzling in less than an hour
Professional Take - Home Whitening Kits
Would you like to have greater control over the time you spend and the level of whitening you achieve? If so, a professional at-home whitening kit may be right for you. The kit includes a custom-made whitening tray that holds the whitening gel and fits over your teeth perfectly. We can also provide an at-home kit that will allow you to maintain the results of an in-office whitening. It will take longer to achieve noticeable results with an at-home kit, but both options will help you achieve the goal of a fresh, white smile
Discover Your Best Smile
If you're not happy with the appearance of your stained or discolored teeth, a simple professional whitening treatment may be all you need to bring out the best in your smile.
We understand that you're busy, and our goal is to make cosmetic dental treatments like teeth whitening as stress-free and simple as possible. Our convenient, accessible location and patient-friendly scheduling make it easy for you to achieve your goal of a bright, white smile
Dentures in Vienna, VA
Are missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures causing discomfort and embarrassment?
If so, you know that your lifestyle can be severely inhibited by these problems, making it difficult just to eat and speak normally
Dentures are meant to be a solution, not a problem.
If this is not true in your case, we can resolve these frustrating issues by creating dentures that are comfortable, restore function, and improve your appearance
State-of-the-Art Technology and Training
If you think of dentures and envision clunky, one-size-fits-all false teeth, you may be surprised by the look and feel of today's dentures.
At Tysons Dentistry, we combine personalized, thoughtful patient care with state-of-the-art dental technology. Drs. Shahram and Sanati are continually mastering the latest dental technologies and techniques to provide our patients with the best dentistry available
With the patience and precision needed for the denture development process
we are able to use updated materials and techniques to create dentures that are comfortable and look just like natural teeth
Updated Dentures Make a Difference
Depending on your situation, we can use either partial or complete dentures.
Both are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth. Partials are used if only a few of your teeth are missing. If all your teeth are missing, we use complete dentures
If you're wearing dentures that were made years ago, you may notice that they no longer fit properly.
This is a common problem, because your jaw line changes over time and dentures that used to fit perfectly are now uncomfortable and unstable
Today's dentures are custom-made by trained technicians using advanced technology and materials that look, fit, and feel better than dentures made years ago.
Our trusted dental lab has the experience and expertise needed to create stunning dentures that restore function and enhance your appearance. At Tysons Dentistry, we take the time to understand your expectations so that we can deliver results that make you feel good about the way you look
Added Stability for Dentures
One of the most common complaints about dentures is that they slip and shift, causing embarrassment and irritation.
Regular dentures rest on the gums and tend to be less stable on the lower jaw
In this case, an implant-supported denture is available, allowing you to experience a more stable and secure fit.
The denture is supported by and attached to dental implants so that it remains in place while eating, talking, and chewing
Caring, Convenient Dental Care
At Tysons Dentistry, our priority is to offer the highest quality dental treatments that enhance your overall health and well-being.
By taking the time to listen to your concerns and understand your needs, we can help you achieve your goal of a beautiful, healthy smile
Each patient is treated exactly the way we would want to be treated
and our superior customer care includes appointments with no waiting time because we know that your time is valuable and you need to get on with your life. We accept most dental insurance plans and offer a wide variety of financing options like CareCredit, CitiHealth, and Springstone
Vienna, VA Pediatric Dental Care & Sealants
When you're looking for dental care for your children, it's essential to find a dentist who can provide preventive childhood treatments.
But it's equally important to know that your dentist understands the distinct personalities of children and can help them develop a positive experience that encourages continued care of their teeth
It's a good idea to introduce children to dentistry at a young age so they begin to get comfortable with routine office visits.
Dr. Shahram and Dr. Sanati have been providing high-quality, compassionate dental care to children two years and older for many years
Our dentists have a gift for understanding the needs of children and providing the gentle care they need to help them feel safe and secure.
Our entire team loves to help start kids off with a healthy approach to dentistry, and they make every effort to put them at ease during visits to our kid-friendly dental office
Protecting Your Child's Dental Health
One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is a head-start on a lifetime of excellent oral health.
We start seeing children at two years of age because at this point they usually have all their baby teeth and their dental development really takes off
It may not seem significant at such an early age, but the health of your child's baby teeth is extremely important.
Baby teeth are the foundation for proper development of their permanent teeth, so it is essential to keep them healthy
The early loss of a baby tooth can lead to alignment problems later as the underlying permanent teeth begin to emerge.
If we detect a cavity in a baby tooth, we need to fill it as quickly as possible to preserve the tooth and your child's long-term oral health. In addition to regular exams and fillings, your child may also benefit from fluoride treatments to strengthen and protect their teeth
Dental Sealants
Sealants act as a barrier to protect young teeth from developing cavities.
We may recommend dental sealants if your child's teeth are cavity-prone or if their molars have deep grooves and uneven surfaces
Kid-Friendly Dental Care
At Tysons Dentistry, we respect your child's unique personality and treat them with gentle care and understanding.
We combine this approach with state-of-the-art technology like gentle laser dentistry (no scary drills!) and safe, low-dose digital x-rays. If you think your child would feel better with you in the room, we will be happy to accommodate you
We can create custom-made mouth guards to protect your child during sports and other physical activities.
If a problem should arise, our emergency appointments ensure that your child will receive the dental care they need when they need it most
Supportive and Caring Environment
As parents, you want to be sure that your child will be cared for by sensitive professionals who are committed to safeguarding their precious oral health.
At Tysons Dentistry, we wouldn't have it any other way!
As soon as you and your child enter our Vienna dental office, you will notice that we place emphasis on creating a nurturing and caring environment that will help put your kids at ease.
Our dentists and staff are great with children, and we even have stickers and a treasure box that our young patients love!
We will be happy to schedule appointments that fit your schedule, and we can even book family appointments so everyone can have their needs taken care of at one time.
Please contact us if you have any questions about your child's oral health care or if you would like to make an appointment for their next dental exam
Periodontal Treatment in Vienna, VA
Did you know that one out of every two American adults aged 30 and over has periodontal disease?
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammation that attacks gum tissue and the bone supporting your teeth. Without prompt treatment, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues
The good news is that, in most cases, periodontal disease can be prevented and treated with professional treatment and proper oral hygiene.
At Tysons Dentistry, we understand the severity of gum disease and the effects it can have on both your dental and general health.
We have always been strong advocates of prevention as the most effective way to reduce the risk of developing gum disease
Gum Disease - The Hidden Threat
Gum disease is not just an oral health issue.
Without proper hygiene and prevention, bacteria present with severe periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream and lead to serious health complications like heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, and stroke
State-of-the-Art Treatment for Gum Disease
Periodontal disease begins to develop when bacteria-filled plaque builds up between your teeth and under the gums.
Over time, bones recede and pockets open up between your teeth and gums. Your teeth may begin to feel loose, and without treatment, the teeth may be lost
Our doctors and/or hygienist detect periodontal disease by measuring the depth of these gum pockets.
Depending on the extent of disease present, Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram may recommend scaling or root planing, a process where the surface of the tooth is smoothed (planed) to allow the gum tissue to heal and reattach to the tooth
If inflammation and deep pockets remain, we will use our state-of-the-art periodontal lasers to eliminate harmful bacteria, promote regeneration of healthy gum tissue
and keep gum disease in remission. Laser therapy is gentle, comfortable, and requires very little recovery time
Ongoing Care and Prevention
Our goal is to restore and maintain the health of your teeth and gums with a personalized treatment plan.
Every patient has different needs, and we customize your periodontal care to meet those specific needs. We'll take the time to explain your treatment plan in detail and answer any questions you may have.
You can easily avoid these complex treatments with regular dental exams, professional cleanings, and effective at-home oral hygiene.
Our team is here to support you during and after treatment, and we will show you how you can prevent further infections
Please Contact Our Office
The time to take steps to protect your oral health is sooner rather than later.
If you believe you may have gum disease or if you are an overdue for a dental cleaning, please contact our Vienna, VA dental office, and we will be happy to arrange a convenient appointment
Root Canals in Vienna, VA
At Tysons Dentistry, we provide you with the very best in preventive dental care to make sure your teeth remain intact and in a healthy state.
Whenever possible, we make every effort to use minimally invasive, conservative treatments to preserve healthy tooth structure and keep your smile strong for many years to come
We know that a beautiful smile is whole and healthy.
Yet there are times when a more involved treatment like root canal therapy is needed to save a tooth and protect your overall dental health
Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram understand that the idea of a root canal can be intimidating
but our compassionate approach and concern for your well-being ensures that you will have a totally stress-free experience
Root Canal Therapy
We know that root canal therapy has a reputation for being complicated and stressful.
However, this is not actually the case - updated technology has made root canal therapy a treatment that is no more stressful than having a tooth filled
Root canal therapy is necessary to save a tooth that has been compromised by decay or periodontal infection.
Most people experience severe discomfort as the first sign that a root canal is needed. If we do not remove the infection quickly, the pain will worsen, and there is a good chance that our only option will be extraction
Dr. Sanati is highly educated and experienced in the area of root canal therapy
and - with all the precision and time needed - he delivers the best possible results to restore and save teeth.
Prompt, Efficient Treatment
It is always best if we have the time to integrate these procedures into a comprehensive treatment plan.
But circumstances sometimes make it necessary to perform a root canal without prior planning
We are flexible with our scheduling, and we can accommodate you and your family if an emergency arises, especially if you are in pain.
We do our best to treat you the same day; if that's not the best option, we will make sure you are in good hands with a specialist
Compassionate Care in a Stress-Free Environment
Our professional team is always sensitive to your needs, especially with a procedure like root canal treatment.
We will go out of our way to treat you as we would like to be treated - with compassion and understanding
We strive to offer you the highest quality dental treatments to enhance your oral health and overall well - being.
Financing options include CareCredit, CitiHealth, and Springstone, making dental care stress-free and accessible
Please Contact Our Office
Please contact our Vienna dental office if you have questions or concerns about root canal treatment.
We will guide you through the process and make sure that you get the safe, efficient care that you deserve
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings in Vienna, VA
At Tysons Dentistry, we focus on providing services that not only treat and correct your dental problems, but also improve the appearance of your smile.
Tooth - colored restorations are one example of a procedure that does both
Recently, dental technology has produced some amazing materials that were not available just a few years ago.
Dr. Shahram and Dr. Sanati spend many hours expanding their knowledge and staying current with the latest advances in dentistry. We then integrate these new technologies with our treatments to provide you with the very best that dentistry has to offer
These innovative materials enable us to offer updated treatments like tooth-colored fillings and bonding that protect your oral health and leave you with a bright, beautiful smile.
Versatile Tooth-Colored Composites
We use a tooth-colored composite material for dental bonding and fillings that are durable and resilient.
From an aesthetic perspective, the benefit is that this material can be shaded to match the exact color of your own teeth. Since tooth-colored porcelain composites blend so perfectly with your natural teeth, they can be used for a variety of restorative treatments
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Fillings are an essential treatment needed to remove decay and strengthen your teeth.
Silver amalgam is very noticeable and can mar the appearance of your smile. Using tooth-colored fillings provides a solution that protects your teeth and offers an aesthetically pleasing result
Another important advantage of using composite material for fillings and restorations is that we need only remove the decayed portion of the tooth to restore your oral health.
It is our goal to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible to keep your smile whole and healthy for many years
Dental Bonding
There is little or no preparation required for bonding. Once the composite is applied to your teeth, it can be shaped and polished so that it blends seamlessly with your natural tooth enamel. The bonding process is simple and can usually be completed in just one office visit. Bonding is an affordable, conservative procedure where tooth-colored composite material is used to:
Repair chipped or cracked teeth
Conceal severely stained and discolored teeth
Fill gaps between teeth
Change the shape of poorly proportioned teeth
As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
Inlays and Onlays
Porcelain composites are also very effective when used for inlays and onlays.
For cavities that are too large to be replaced by fillings, inlays or onlays are used to restore the tooth properly. The strong porcelain material is cemented onto the treated tooth to provide a durable, natural-looking result
Treatment That Fits Your Needs
Everyone is unique and has very specific needs when it comes to dental care.
After a consultation and thorough evaluation of your oral health, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan designed to ensure a healthy smile
Porcelain Veneers in Vienna, VA
Healthy teeth are important, but a beautiful smile helps you look your best and boosts your self-confidence.
If you feel that cosmetic flaws are preventing you from enjoying the smile you desire, porcelain veneers placed at Tysons Dentistry may be the perfect solution. Porcelain veneers do not require extensive preparation, and the entire process can be completed in just two or three office visits
Expertise You Can Trust
Creating beautiful, natural-looking porcelain veneers requires expertise and an eye for detail.
Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram have extensive experience in placing veneers that allows them to create beautiful transformations that make you want to show off your smile
Cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers require an investment in time and money on your part, and we want you to be delighted with the outcome.
Before we decide on any treatment, we will talk to you about your expectations to make sure that the procedure is in line with your goals
The Beauty of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers are an increasingly popular cosmetic dental option for patients of many ages. The reflective qualities of porcelain are very similar to that of your own tooth enamel, and the result is a cosmetic solution that closely resembles the translucency and radiant beauty of natural teeth. These thin, natural-looking cosmetic restorations correct common cosmetic problems, such as:
Dull, stained, or discolored enamel
Slight misalignment of teeth
Uneven spaces and gaps between teeth
Poorly proportioned teeth
Chips or cracks in dental enamel
Outstanding Results in Only Two Visits
Porcelain veneers are ultra - thin slices of translucent porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth.
We remove a very small amount of tooth enamel to ensure that porcelain veneers fit perfectly and look beautifully natural
X-rays and impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab where your veneers will be custom-crafted to our exact specifications.
During the second appointment we bond the porcelain veneers securely to the surface of your teeth
Once they are in place, we polish and shape the veneers until we achieve perfect fit and a natural appearance.
This smooth, glass-like surface of veneers resists staining and leaves you with a healthy and beautiful smile that will last for many years
Smile with Confidence
We know that patients choose cosmetic dental procedures for various reasons.
Whether you want to repair a cosmetic flaw or just want your smile to be the best it can be, we are here to help you achieve your goals. We won't be satisfied until you're satisfied!
Invisalign in Vienna, VA
$500 Off in March!
Are you embarrassed by misaligned teeth that cause you to hide your smile?
You may be avoiding orthodontic work because you don't want to deal with the hassle and discomfort of traditional braces. Now you can achieve the perfect smile you desire with discreet, metal-free, Invisalign treatment
Your Dream Smile Is Closer Than You Think!
Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram are certified Invisalign providers
and have the expertise to help patients of all ages quickly straighten teeth quickly without unsightly metal orthodontics. Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to move teeth into alignment - often in a year or less
Advantages of Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, flexible plastic, which eliminates most of the discomfort associated with traditional metal braces.
The clear aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Since there are no metal brackets where particles of food can become lodged, proper oral hygiene is much more efficient and effective
Invisalign aligners are easily removed for sports where a protective mouth guard is needed for safety.
Compared to traditional braces, treatment times are significantly shorter with Invisalign.
How Invisalign Clear Braces Work
We start by taking photos and x-rays of your teeth using technology that produces a detailed, three-dimensional computer model of your teeth.
The approach we take for your customized treatment will take into account the desired healthy position of each of your teeth
Detailed impressions of your teeth are then taken and sent to the Invisalign lab.
Along with the impressions, the information we gather is used to create a series of clear plastic aligners that are designed to gently move teeth into the desired position
You will wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks, then move on to the next set in the series.
Our patients love the fact that they can actually see and feel the progress as their teeth begin to move into the proper position
Your at-home treatment is supported by visits to our office at four-week intervals.
During these visits we will monitor your progress and make adjustments as necessary
Straight Teeth Are Healthy Teeth
It is important that alignment issues like overbites, underbites, and crooked teeth be corrected as soon as possible.
Left untreated, all of these problems can lead to more serious oral health issues like jaw pain, TMJ, and bone erosion
Periodontal disease is of special concern as we learn more about the connection that researchers have established between oral health and serious health issues like heart disease
respiratory disease, stroke, and diabetes

Crowns & Bridges in Vienna, VA
Missing teeth can mar your appearance and can cause serious problems with simple functions like chewing and speaking properly.
Fortunately, dental restorations like crowns and bridges are often the perfect solution to give you back a whole and healthy smile
At Tysons Dentistry
our goal is to provide our patients with exceptional dental care that offers solutions for problems like missing teeth or teeth that have been compromised by damage or decay. Dr. Shahram and Dr. Sanati have extensive experience in creating durable, natural-looking dental restorations that will give you many years of use. We work with the best dental labs to create crowns and bridges that return your teeth to their full function and give you a smile you can be proud of. Our state-of-the-art dental laser allows us to comfortably prepare your gums for placement of dental crowns to ensure a perfectly natural fit
Uses for Dental Crowns
Crowns are used to entirely cover, or "cap," a damaged tooth to strengthen and improve its appearance, shape, or alignment. Specifically, crowns can be used to:
Strengthen a tooth with a large filling
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
Cover a dental implant
Strengthen and protect a tooth after root canal treatment
Disguise a discolored or poorly proportioned tooth
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a dental prosthetic that is used to fill the space left by a missing tooth.
This is referred to as a fixed bridge. The bridge is usually made as a single unit, including an artificial tooth and crowns that attach to adjacent teeth. A dental bridge not only improves your appearance, but it also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place and moving into the space left by a missing tooth
One inherent problem associated with dental bridges is the strain and structural stress that they place on surrounding natural teeth.
At Tysons Dentistry, we can use a dental implant to anchor the bridge to take the pressure off your natural teeth and ensure a comfortable fit
Whether you are having a crown or bridge placed, the preparation process is basically the same.
First, we will evaluate your oral health so we can make the best decision as to which type of restoration is most appropriate for your situation
We then take impressions that are sent to a top dental lab where your restoration is custom-crafted.
When you return for your next visit, we adjust the restoration as necessary to ensure a perfect fit and a fully functioning tooth
Prompt, Efficient Treatment
Maintaining optimal oral health should never be unpleasant or inconvenient.
Our entire professional team is committed to making every visit to our office enjoyable and stress free. We will not make you wait to get in for your appointment, and we see only one patient at a time so that we can focus all of our attention on you and your needs

Tooth Extraction in Vienna, VA
The goal of quality dental care is to use treatments that preserve the health and integrity of your teeth.
At Tysons Dentistry, we do everything we can to ensure that your smile remains healthy and intact for many years. But situations do arise where the only practical solution is extraction of a tooth
We know that the thought of losing a tooth is upsetting for anyone, and combined with the stress over the procedure itself, tooth extraction can be overwhelming.
You can rest assured that Drs. Sanati and Shahram and our compassionate team will put you at ease so that your experience is as stress-free as possible
Reasons for Tooth Extraction
From time to time, it's necessary to remove a tooth on an emergency basis, as in the case of severe root canal infection or dental trauma. However, tooth extraction is often needed as part of an overall treatment plan for the following reasons:
Infection of the root canal that cannot be resolved with traditional treatment
Severe decay that has caused a tooth to deteriorate beyond repair
Wisdom teeth that have erupted in a way that threatens the alignment of surrounding teeth
Preparation for placement of full or partial dentures
Improperly positioned teeth that affect alignment of surrounding teeth
Preparation for orthodontic treatment for children
Your Comfort is Our First Priority
Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram have performed many simple extractions for adults as well as children.
Their skill, combined with our state-of-the-art technology, makes extraction safe and efficient, minimizing stress and post-operative discomfort
Tooth extraction can be intimidating but it does not have to be stressful.
We are sensitive to the fact that your anxiety may be overwhelming, so we offer sedation dentistry to keep our patients calm during procedures like tooth extraction
Depending on your individual needs, we may suggest nitrous oxide as well as oral sedation so that you remain comfortable.
A member of our team will also be with you at all times to support and encourage you before, during, and after the procedure
Trust Experience
At Tysons Dentistry, we do everything necessary to ensure that you enjoy a lifetime of excellent oral health.
Proper dental care is essential to your health and well-being, and we are here to help you achieve the goal of optimal oral health. We will not proceed with treatment until we are sure that you understand what the problem is and why extraction is necessary. If we determine that you require immediate extraction, we will take care of you right away - usually the same day
Please contact our Vienna dental office if you would like more information about tooth extraction.
We will be happy to arrange an appointment to assess your situation and determine the course of treatment that is most appropriate for your needs

Dental lasers significantly reduce post-treatment bleeding and discomfort.
Lasers dentistry eliminates the need for invasive procedures like painful cutting of the gums.
Dr. Sanati can be more precise than with traditional dental instruments.
Treatment with dental lasers actually enhances your oral health because they stimulate the regrowth of healthy tissue.
Since laser dentistry is so comfortable, it is especially effective for young children and patients with dental anxiety.

Emergency Treatment in Vienna, VA
There are few things as frustrating as experiencing a sudden dental emergency.
In addition to the discomfort, you have to be concerned about whether or not you can get the prompt treatment and relief you need
At Tysons Dentistry, we are healthcare professionals who are committed to treating our emergency patients as soon as possible.
We make sure to allow time in our day to provide you with the treatment you need, especially if you are in pain. If circumstances make it impossible for us to see you promptly, we will make sure you are in good hands with a specialist
How to Handle a Dental Emergency
Drs. Sanati and Shahram will always do their best to see you as quickly as possible in an emergency. In the interim, taking the proper steps until you can get to our office can often make the difference between saving and losing a tooth
Important Note
Call 911 or go to an emergency room immediately if you have been in an accident or experienced dental trauma that includes injury to the head or jaw
Severe Toothache Pain
A sudden, severe toothache indicates that a serious problem is developing and should be attended to as quickly as possible. Possible causes of severe toothache pain are decayed, cracked, or broken teeth; a lost or cracked filling; or advanced gum disease. A raised bump on your gum is an indication that your tooth may be abscessed and a root canal may be necessary. Until you can get to our office, ice packs placed on and off the area at 20-minute intervals can provide some relief from the pain
Knocked-Out Tooth
Prompt action on your part will significantly improve the odds of saving a tooth that has been knocked out. Avoid touching the root of the tooth. Hold the crown of the tooth very carefully and rinse gently in water. Do not brush or scrub the tooth because this will disturb attached tissue fragments. You can try to gently place the tooth back in its socket, but do not force it. If this is not possible, do not allow the tooth to dry out - place it in a cup of milk or warm water until you get to our office
Broken Tooth
Use warm water to rinse your mouth and clean the area. A cold compress placed on and off the affected area every 20 minutes can help reduce swelling and discomfort
Lost Filling or Crown
Losing a filling or dental crown not only causes pain but can also weaken the structure of your tooth. Contact our office immediately to avoid the possibility of further damaging the tooth
Prompt, Efficient Treatment
Our professional team is here to do everything possible to protect your oral health, and prompt treatment is essential.
Please do not hesitate to call our Vienna dental office if you or a member of your family have a dental emergency
Cosmetic Dentistry in Vienna, VA
Every smile is beautiful, but if your teeth have aesthetic flaws that you would like to correct, you are not alone.
More people than ever are turning to cosmetic dentistry to achieve a smile that enhances their appearance and boosts their self confidence
At Tysons Dentistry we provide a wide range of cosmetic treatment options that fit your lifestyle, timeline, and budget.
Of course, your oral health is of utmost importance, and Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram strive to use treatments that achieve the goal of a smile that is both healthy and beautiful. We will work with you to create a truly personalized treatment plan that takes your individual needs and desires into account
Zoom Teeth Whitening for Fast Results
Teeth whitening is by far the most commonly requested cosmetic dental treatment.
This makes sense when you consider that one in-office treatment can achieve remarkable results quickly and affordably
At Tysons Dentistry, we offer Zoom, a popular and effective professional teeth whitening treatment.
We can complete the process in one office visit, or provide a customized take-home kit that for you to use at your convenience
Natural-Looking Porcelain Veneers
Thin porcelain veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth to conceal minor imperfections.
Porcelain has an appearance similar to your natural tooth enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth. Veneers are a perfect solution for fixing cosmetic flaws like chips or cracks, poorly proportioned teeth, severe discoloration, and slight tooth misalignment
Discreet Invisalign Clear Braces
Misaligned teeth are not only unattractive, but they can lead to other oral health problems if not corrected.
Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram are both certified Invisalign providers, and are specially trained to use this adult orthodontic treatment to correct crooked teeth
Invisalign clear plastic aligners are discreet and comfortable to wear.
They are completely removable for eating, brushing, and flossing and provide results in as little as a year
Versatile Tooth - Colored Fillings
Fillings are not usually thought of as a cosmetic treatment
but tooth-colored fillings are made from a composite material that can be shaped and shaded to perfectly match your natural teeth. This makes them useful for correcting minor imperfections like chips, cracks, uneven spaces between teeth, and discolored dental enamel
We Work with Your Goals
At Tysons Dentistry we want to be your partners in dental care.
Cosmetic dentistry is not one- size-fits-all, and you will be involved with your cosmetic care from the outset. We will take the time to listen to your priorities, and you will be in control of the pace and outcome of your treatment. Our friendly professional team will explain your treatment plan and answer all your questions
Implant-Supported Dentures in Vienna, VA
Are you frustrated by dentures that shift and slip, causing embarrassment and irritation?
If so, Tysons Dentistry offers implant-retained dentures that may be the long-term solution you're looking for
DIEM Hybrid Dentures
Studies show that replacing teeth immediately may help preserve oral bone, resulting in dental implant restorations that look and function like natural teeth. Sometimes referred to as "Teeth in a Day," DIEM hybrid dentures combine the function of a denture with the stability of dental implants. We can replace missing and/or non-restorable upper and/or lower teeth with fixed dentures. A hybrid denture is specially designed to snap onto dental implants to secure the denture in place. The entire process is coordinated between our doctors, an oral surgeon, and a lab technician who prepares your dentures. You will be able to return home the day of surgery with a prosthesis that looks esthetically pleasing and functions normally. Some of the benefits of this type of denture are:
It can be placed in one day. We place the implants and, during the same visit, attach the specially designed denture.
Since the dentures are permanently attached to the implants, worries of slipping and awkward accidents are a thing of the past
They are a fixed solution. In other words, you won't have to worry about removing them for cleaning.
With immediate placement of both implant and denture, you won't have to suffer the embarrassment of going without teeth.
Fixed hybrid dentures allow you to quickly regain confidence and quality of life.
Implant-Supported Overdentures
Another effective implant-retained denture we offer is called an overdenture.
Overdentures are customized dentures designed to attach to dental implants placed strategically in your jawbone
Implant-supported overdentures improve stability, specifically on lower dentures.
Using advanced 3-D CT scans, a qualified oral surgeon will strategically place two or more implant posts in your jawbone. Over time, the bone and implant integrate and become permanently rooted in your mouth
The implant and denture have corresponding attachments that snap securely into place using specialized dental attachments that are secured in the roots or implants.
Stability is a big advantage, but another benefit is that implants will make your denture much less bulky.
Traditional dentures consist of a plate that covers your entire palate, but an implant-supported denture does not need the plate to hold it firmly in place
What Implant-Supported Dentures Can Do for You
Just like any removable denture created at Tysons Dentistry, your implant-supported denture will be carefully crafted to complement your overall appearance.
However, these dentures will look even more natural, since you won't have any metal clips, plastic bases, or denture adhesive
Since they're permanently anchored in your mouth, implant-supported dentures can restore full oral function.
You'll be able to eat all the foods you love and speak without fear of slipping dentures
Finally, implants prevent bone recession in your jaw by stimulating growth in surrounding tissues.
n this way, your restoration can maintain your natural facial structure contours of your jaw
Please Contact Us to Arrange a Consultation
You may be wondering what either of these types of specialized dentures can do for you.
If so, please contact our Vienna, VA dental office, and we'll be happy to arrange a dentures consultation with one of our doctors.
