We know you may have questions before your visit. You can view some of our most commonly asked questions and their answers
below. If you don’t see the answer you’re looking for, please call us and we would be happy to answer any of our questions.

How can I safely whiten my teeth?
We offer several safe and effective methods for whitening. Zoom! Advanced Teeth Whitening offers the fastest and most dramatic
option. In just an hour, your teeth can gleam up to eight shades whiter. Take-home teeth whitening trays, another option, allow
you to brighten your teeth at home. With the homecare method, you can control the degree of color change. Both treatments
come with a custom-made mouth tray for touch ups.

What makes yours different than any other dental practice?
Dr. Mostofi believes in providing unique, personal attention to every patient we see.
For example, we know your time is just as valuable as our time. We will allow enough time during your appointment for Dr. Mostofi
to address all of your concerns and provide comprehensive care with strict attention to details.

We designed our practice for relaxing, comfortable care. A soothing waterfall and aromatherapy create a calm atmosphere.
During your appointment, we provide you with complimentary coffee, juice, or water. We also offer blankets to keep you warm
during your treatment and music for your entertainment. The technology, training, and techniques our staff employs optimize time,
comfort, and the longevity of our dental work, which we guarantee for five years. If you have any concerns, questions, or requests
during your visit, please ask Dr. Mostofi or anyone on your dental team.

Can any dental procedures make me look younger?
Dr. Mostofi’s cosmetic dentistry can make patients look years younger after just one appointment. From whitening a smile
discolored by age to replacing missing teeth, which can add internal structure to the facial skin, our cosmetic procedures not only
make patients look great, but they create a fresh, youthful smile.

What are the benefits of visiting a dentist?
Dr. Mostofi’s objective is to maintain the beautiful smile of his patients throughout their life, so people who want a healthy, bright
smile should visit the dentist for regular dental cleanings and checkups. Seeing a patient regularly allows us to detect any minor
problems before they escalate. This is true of decay, gum disease, cracks, oral cancer, and many dental conditions. When we find
problems earlier, treatment can usually be less invasive and more affordable. In addition, great oral health can lead to better
overall health. Gum disease has been linked to strokes, heart attack, and even complications for diabetics and pregnant mothers.
Tooth loss, another result of gum disease, can cause bone deterioration, thus creating an older appearance. In fact, studies show
that patients without teeth do not live as long as those with a full set of teeth. Dr. Mostofi will assess your oral health and help you
achieve and maintain the healthy, beautiful smile that will enhance your life.
