Hygiene Appointments

We recommend you visit us twice a year for a cleaning :)

During this appointment a hygienist will clean the plaque, tartar and stain that have built up on the teeth or under the gums.  This can range from a mild plaque removal to deep scaling that may require local anesthetic.  Our hygienists are studied, licensed and qualified to administer “freezing” to a patient that may need it.  Most patients do not have deep gum pockets and a regular “cleaning” is all that is required.

Orthodontics

We want you to smile more!


Book your complimentary consult today!

We are proud to be highly trained in orthodontics in our office.  We have taken years of courses and continue to do so to give our patients nice straight teeth. We are licensed providers in Invisalign which is a set of clear trays that are designed to straighten teeth.   We also provide braces treatment to our younger patients and those that are not Invisalign candidates.

Restorative Dentistry

Contact us today for your complimentary consult :)

This is a division of dentistry that describes any kind of filling appointment.  If a tooth is broken or decayed it will require a filling.  There are two types of materials used one being the “tooth colored resin” and the other being a “silver” filling.

SERVICES OVERVIEW

Inlays

This type of restoration is similar to a filling but differs in the fact that the filling material is made at the lab and the hole in the tooth gets filled with a gold or porcelain material.

Veneers

This is a porcelain face that is bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its’ appearance and occasionally it’s’ size and alignment.

Crowns

This is a full coverage type of cap that goes over a tooth after we have prepared the tooth for it.  It can be made out of porcelain, gold or a combination of both. It is often done after a root canal or when a tooth is so broken down that it is weak and will not withstand pressure.

Bridges

This type of lab fabricated restoration is made to replace a missing tooth.  It can be made of Porcelain, gold and commonly a combination of both.  The teeth on either side are prepared and the lab is sent a model so they can make the bridge. A bridge requires you to floss under it to keep it clean.

Dentures

This is a removable option to replace missing teeth.  We make full dentures or partial dentures depending on how many teeth a patient is missing.

Implants

This is the most recommended way to replace a missing tooth today.  A titanium implant is placed in the bone where the tooth is missing and after a few months of healing a crown is placed on this implant.  Implants are used to support crowns, bridges and dentures.  They are highly successful and stay with you for life.

Sealants

A Sealant is a clear varnish applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent molars.  This varnish remains in the valleys of the molars.  It prevents bacteria in plaque from being able to get deep into the valleys of the teeth and causing cavities.

Root Canals

This procedure removes the nervous tissue from the inside of a crown and roots of a tooth.  It is done when a tooth is severely infected or inflamed and when a tooth is so broken down that we need to place a post inside of the roots to rebuild it.

Oral Surgery

On occasion teeth need to be taken out and that is a treatment that we provide in our office unless the extraction is going to be very complex.  Patients are treated gently and careful follow up is done with each and every extraction case.

Whitening

Customized trays are made just for the patient and gel is inserted into the trays and they are worn to bed nightly for 3-4 weeks.  The result is a gorgeous white smile.


This is a branch of dentistry where the focus is placed on making your smile look more appealing.  The procedures in this class of dentistry involve tooth whitening, veneers, crowns, simple tooth colored bonding to help reshape a tooth or cover a stain as well as orthodontics like Invisalign.  We provide all of this dentistry in our office.  We take pride in the smiles that leave our office.  We are not happy unless our patients are happy with their smile.

Bite Plane Therapy

Often patients grind or clench their teeth which can affect the teeth and the TMJ joint.  After careful assessment it is determined whether or not the patient’s symptoms can be alleviated by a bite plane and one is made.  It is usually worn nightly.

Sport Guards

Athletes that play contact sports should always have a mouth guard that fits well to prevent teeth from chipping breaking or worse, being knocked out.

ABOVE & BEYOND!

 

I am so happy to have found Dr. Haidar. She has been so helpful in my transition from a dentist I wasn't happy with and has made me extremely comfortable. She has gone above and beyond what a dentist should do and I will be forever grateful. She is very knowledgeable in her field and explains procedures in a clear manner. My husband and I have both transferred to Dr. Haidar and plan on our whole family eventually going there. Her staff is very friendly and helpful as well and will do follow-up calls to make sure your recovery is going smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone.

THANK YOU…

 

When one things of a dentist you do not always have pleasant thoughts. I have to say that over the past 10 years or more I have never had a bad experience with the Dental office at 201 Chain Lake Dr. During this time they have been more than just people you see once or twice a year. The care that is taken to make sure you are welcome when you arrive, to the relaxed atmosphere in the chair, to asking how your family is doing. Every detail is looked after for you. I have over the years referred many co-workers to Dr. Haider and her team all with the same positive feed back. I thank you and the team there for the care you have shown and look forward to my next visit.

STRONGLY RECOMMEND...

 

She is a wonderful dentist with a wonderful staff. My two kids can be quite a handful when it comes to visiting the dentist. Dr. Haidar is so patient with them and personable. All of her staff are just great and do such a fine job dealing with my kids. Dr. Haidar stays on top of all the latest techniques and is very thorough when performing a check up. We will continue to go there and I strongly recommend anyone looking for a great dentist to call Dr. Haidar.
