Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with natural-looking crowns. At Crystal Smiles, Dr. Jost and Dr. Warren use Straumann implants to restore function and aesthetics. The process involves jawbone evaluation, implant placement, healing, and crown attachment. Implants prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and offer long-term durability. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, confidence, and oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear aligners. Dr. Lindsay Raoufi offers free consultations to assess suitability for adults and teens. Treatment involves wearing aligners 20-22 hours daily, with adjustments every 6-8 weeks. Benefits include improved bite alignment, easier cleaning, and reduced risk of dental damage. Most patients achieve results in 12-18 months, with options like Invisalign Express for minor corrections.
Children's Dentistry
Our practice specializes in creating positive dental experiences for children. Services include free 'Happy Visits' for kids under 4, routine checkups, and preventive care. We use kid-friendly techniques, educational tools, and a playful environment to build trust. Early intervention addresses habits like thumb-sucking and monitors tooth development. Parents receive guidance on oral hygiene and nutrition to support lifelong dental health.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth extraction prevents complications like pain, infection, and overcrowding. Our team uses X-rays to assess impaction and plans sedation options for comfort. The procedure involves removing erupted or impacted teeth, followed by detailed aftercare instructions. Early removal reduces risks of cysts, gum disease, and adjacent tooth damage. Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks with proper post-operative care.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide to ease dental anxiety. These options help patients relax during procedures while remaining conscious. Sedation is ideal for complex treatments or individuals with phobias. Our team ensures safe administration and monitors vital signs throughout appointments. Patients report reduced stress and improved tolerance for longer procedures, enhancing overall treatment outcomes.
