As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Daneshmand offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Toothache: Don't suffer with a toothache! Your dentist can identify what's causing the pain, whether it's a cavity, infection, or other dental problem, and offer solutions for relief.
- Tooth Discoloration: Stained or discolored teeth can be improved with the help of a general dentist, who offers various solutions such as professional cleaning, bleaching, or bonding.
- Tooth Decay: Tooth decay is a gradual process of erosion of the tooth surface that can lead to pain and infection, which your dentist can repair and prevent from worsening.
- Cleft Lip and Palate: Because cleft lip and palate can affect tooth development and alignment, a general dentist provides ongoing dental care to improve oral health and function.
- Cavity: Your dentist diagnoses and treats cavities, which are holes in your teeth caused by bacteria and acids breaking down the enamel.
- Tooth Abscess: If you have a throbbing pain and swelling near a tooth, you may have an abscess, a serious infection your dentist can treat with root canal therapy or extraction.
- Impacted Teeth: Impacted teeth, often wisdom teeth, become trapped and don't come in properly, sometimes causing pain or infection, which your dentist can address.
- Chipped Tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can cause pain and sensitivity; a general dentist can fix the chip, preventing further problems.
- Gingivitis: Gingivitis is a common gum problem characterized by inflamed gums, and your dentist provides treatments and guidance on prevention to keep your gums healthy.
- Cracked Tooth: A cracked tooth can be invisible to the naked eye, but your dentist can use advanced tools to find it and fix it before it causes more serious issues like infection or tooth loss.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can damage the soft tissues and bones supporting your teeth, and your dentist can help manage it with cleanings and treatments.
- Tooth Loss: Tooth loss is the absence of one or more teeth, and a general dentist can help replace missing teeth with dentures, bridges, or implants.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Daneshmand offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Porcelain Veneers: If you have discolored, misshapen, or slightly crooked teeth, porcelain veneers can create a straighter, brighter smile by covering the imperfections.
- Gum Disease Treatment: If you have gum disease, treatment involves cleaning and removing bacteria to save your teeth and gums.
- Dental Laser Procedure: Lasers can be used in dentistry to improve the precision and comfort of procedures like cavity preparations and the removal of soft tissue.
- Restoration of Dental Implants: This procedure addresses problems with existing dental implants, such as loose or broken components, improving their stability and longevity.
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Oral and maxillofacial surgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, and face, often involving surgical procedures.
- Dentures: Dentures provide a solution for missing teeth, improving your appearance and overall oral health.
- Dental Implant: If you're missing teeth, dental implants can act like real tooth roots, supporting crowns or dentures for a natural-looking and functioning smile.
- Dental Crown: If a tooth is severely weakened or cracked, a crown can provide the necessary support and protection.
- Dental Bridge: This procedure involves attaching artificial teeth to existing teeth or implants, closing the space left by missing teeth.
- Root Canal: A root canal is a procedure to repair and save a severely damaged or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp (nerve and blood vessels) inside.
- Endodontic Treatment: Endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy, saves severely damaged or infected teeth by removing the inner pulp and sealing the root to prevent further problems.
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: An ultrasonic dental cleaning helps to remove stubborn stains and plaque buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss, improving your smile's appearance and oral health.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Daneshmand:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter the bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about your teeth; it's essential for maintaining your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Daneshmand can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch for a small area of damage, while a crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are needed when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or after a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding while brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis), which can progress to more serious gum disease if left untreated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if they don't have any pain. These visits are vital for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, as our team can remove tartar and identify issues early.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums, exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Daneshmand can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, or check for other potential issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Daneshmand, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Daneshmand will determine the best course of action for your specific needs.
