A: Common Dental Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<dl>\n<a name=\"candidate-for-dental-implants\"><\/a>\n<dt>Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?<\/dt>\n<dd>We often recommend dental implants as a tooth replacement solution because it is the only solution that replaces both the missing root and tooth. However, in order to qualify for dental implants you need to have sufficient density in your jawbone along with healthy gums. If you do not, you may need to consider a bone graft or a hybrid solution. We can let you know for sure after an examination is conducted in our North Hollywood dental office.<\/dd>\n<dt>Dental Anxiety<\/dt>\n<dd>Dental anxiety is an issue that more people deal with than some realize. If you are afraid of visiting the dentist or have extreme anxiety and worry when it is time to have dental work done, let us know. There are sedation options that can help you to relax and medication that can keep you comfortable during the entire procedure.<\/dd>\n<dt>Does Invisalign\u00ae Really Work<\/dt>\n<dd>Yes, clear aligners can straighten your teeth and give you a beautiful smile. They work by surrounding your teeth and placing pressure on specific ones. By switching your aligners out with a new one in the series, your teeth will continue to move into position until they are perfectly straight. To learn more, call our North Hollywood, CA dental office and schedule a consultation.<\/dd>\n<dt>Options for Replacing Missing Teeth<\/dt>\n<dd>If you have lost teeth, you are not alone. The majority of adults will lose at least one permanent tooth. We can provide you with a variety of solutions that include dentures, a dental bridge, and dental implants. All three are an effective way to restore your smile and give you the ability to eat and speak clearly. However, there are distinct advantages to each procedure. To find out which one would work best for you, call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental Care at 818-821-8308\" href=\"tel:+1-818-821-8308\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Hyphens-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">818-821-8308<\/a>.<\/dd>\n<dt>Oral Hygiene Basics<\/dt>\n<dd>At SoCal Dental Care, we are passionate about patient education and will take time to show you how to brush and floss properly when you visit our dental office. We recommend that you brush your teeth two to three times a day using a fluoride toothpaste for two minutes at a time. This will help to keep your teeth clean and healthy when also combined with daily flossing. You should still visit our North Hollywood office for a professional teeth cleaning twice per year.<\/dd>\n<a name=\"how-can-i-take-care-of-my-dental-implants\"><\/a>\n<dt>Post-Op Care for Dental Implants<\/dt>\n<dd>After receiving dental implants, your gums will be sore for around a week. You can help to ease the swelling and discomfort using an icepack and ibuprofen. During this time, you should eat soft foods only and be careful not to irritate your gums in any way. You need to keep them clean so we may provide you with a medicated rinse to help do so. Once the gums have healed, you can return to a semi-normal diet, though you should avoid anything too hard or crunchy for a couple of weeks.<\/dd>\n<dt>Preventative Dental Care<\/dt>\n<dd>Preventative dental care is vital to maintaining lifelong oral health. When providing patients with helpful dental information, we always recommend regular teeth cleanings, fluoride treatments for children and potentially \u2013 dental sealants. These three things can work together to reduce the likelihood of you and your children developing cavities. At SoCal Dental Care, we can create a preventative dental care plan for you and your family.<\/dd>\n\n<div class=\"call-out center-align bg-secondary\"><!-- sContent-Yelp -->\n<p id=\"yelp-reviews-north-hollywood-ca\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"><\/i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Helpful Dental Information North Hollywood\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/socal-dental-care-north-hollywood\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Helpful-Dental-Information\">Helpful Dental Information North Hollywood<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/sContent-Yelp -->\n\n<dt>Questions to Ask at Your Dental Implants Consultation<\/dt>\n<dd>Make sure you ask us about the procedure and recovery process.

Over the course of a few months, the process of osseointegration will take place and the jawbone will become fused with the implant. Once done, the jawbone will provide the same level of stability to the new tooth that it did to the natural one.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out bg-secondary\"><!-- Call-out block -->\n<p>For more helpful dental information, read our website or call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental Care at (818) 821-8308\" href=\"tel:+1-818-821-8308\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(818) 821-8308<\/a> to schedule an appointment with Dr. Aframian, Dr. Shamoeil, and Dr. Solouki.
