Preventing tooth decay and gum disease, two very common oral health issues, begins at home with daily brushing and flossing. You can also eat a diet that’s low in refined sugar with plenty of fruits and vegetables for even healthier teeth!
Regular dental visits will also help you prevent oral disease for a healthy, beautiful smile, as professional cleanings can remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that are responsible for decay and gum inflammation to prevent more invasive treatments down the line.
Visiting your dentist in Rockville is the best way to prevent oral health issues—combined with regular oral care at home, of course! While not every patient will need to come in every six months, we recommend an exam and cleaning at least once a year and more often as recommend by Dr. Nikkhah.
Some patients are predisposed to certain oral health issues and may need a higher level of care and more frequent dental visits, while other patients won’t need to come in as often. However, professional cleanings can be instrumental in keeping your smile healthy and stain-free!
Not at all. In fact, we offer an in-house dental plan for those who don’t have insurance to help patients in North Bethesda get the oral care they need without dental insurance. Visit our payment page or contact us to learn more about our flexible payment options. We also accept CareCredit!
At Pike District Smiles, we offer a variety of options to replace missing teeth in Rockville. Each smile is unique and your choice of restoration will depend on what procedures you qualify for, your budget, and your goals for your smile.
Your restoration options for missing teeth may include dental implants, dental bridges, and dental crowns. We also offer dentures and partial dentures, including implant-supported dentures for patients who are missing most or all of their natural teeth.
Dental implants consist of a post that’s surgically implanted into your jaw bone and a dental crown which help form an artificial tooth. Dental implants are designed to effectively replace missing natural teeth and provide an alternative to dentures and bridges.
At Pike District Smiles, we offer a variety of options for dental implants, including single dental implants, implant-supported dentures, and dental implants for multiple missing teeth.
Dr. Nikkhah is proud to be an Invisalign provider in the North Bethesda area. Invisalign is an orthodontic appliance that can correct misaligned bites (think overbites or underbites), straighten crooked teeth, and close gaps in your smile. In fact, Invisalign can fix the majority of orthodontic issues for patients in Rockville.
To find out if your unique smile would qualify for Invisalign, Dr. Nikkhah will conduct an oral exam and take x-rays during your consultation. The good news is that most patients will qualify for Invisalign treatment, with some exceptions where traditional braces would be more appropriate.
