Dental Fillings
At Smile Design Holistic, we use tooth-colored composite resin fillings rather than amalgam — a deliberate choice rooted in our commitment to mercury-free dentistry. When decay is detected, Dr. Baghaei removes only the compromised tooth structure, cleans the area thoroughly, and bonds the composite material directly to the tooth for a seamless, natural-looking result. Because composite resin bonds chemically to the tooth, it requires less drilling than traditional amalgam fillings, which helps preserve more of your healthy enamel. For patients who already have old metal fillings they are concerned about, we also offer safe amalgam removal following the SMART protocol to minimize mercury exposure during the process.

Dental Crowns
When a tooth is significantly cracked, broken, or weakened after a root canal, a dental crown is one of the most reliable ways to protect and restore it. At Smile Design Holistic, Dr. Baghaei places crowns using biocompatible ceramic and zirconia materials — choices that align with our mercury-free, metal-conscious philosophy and deliver results that are both durable and aesthetically natural. Each crown is custom-crafted to match the shape, size, and shade of your surrounding teeth, so the restoration blends seamlessly into your smile. In cases where the damage is more extensive, crowns can also be used as anchors for a fixed dental bridge, providing a stable, functional solution for missing teeth as well.

Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy has a reputation it does not deserve. In the hands of an experienced clinician like Dr. Baghaei, the procedure is straightforward, well-tolerated, and often a significant relief — because it eliminates the source of infection that was causing pain in the first place. When bacteria reach the inner pulp of a tooth, the resulting infection can spread quickly and cause serious damage if left untreated. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, thoroughly disinfects the canal system, and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection. At Smile Design Holistic, we follow this with a biocompatible crown or restoration to protect the treated tooth and restore full function. In most cases, saving the natural tooth is far preferable to extraction, and root canal therapy makes that possible.

Extractions
Preserving your natural teeth is always the first priority at Smile Design Holistic, and Dr. Baghaei will exhaust every conservative option before recommending an extraction. When a tooth is beyond saving — due to severe decay, advanced infection, fracture, or overcrowding — removing it in a timely and controlled manner is the most responsible path forward to protect the surrounding teeth and bone. Dr. Baghaei performs extractions with a gentle, minimally traumatic technique, using local anesthesia and, when appropriate, ozone therapy to support healing and reduce the risk of post-operative infection. Following your extraction, we will discuss tooth replacement options including dental implants or a bridge so the gap does not affect your bite or neighboring teeth long-term.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and at Smile Design Holistic, Dr. Baghaei places them with an emphasis on biocompatibility and long-term integration with the body. An implant consists of a titanium post — or, for patients who prefer a metal-free option, a ceramic zirconia post — that is surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as an artificial root. Once healed and integrated, the implant is topped with a custom crown that looks and functions indistinguishably from a natural tooth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone the way natural roots do, preventing bone loss over time. If you are missing one or multiple teeth and want a permanent, stable solution, explore our dental implant options and see what Dr. Baghaei recommends for your specific case.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable option for replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth. At Smile Design Holistic, Dr. Baghaei designs bridges using tooth-colored ceramic materials that blend naturally with your existing smile and avoid the use of metal alloys wherever possible. The bridge is anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, which are gently prepared to accept crowns that serve as the support structure. The result is a stable, comfortable restoration that restores your bite, prevents neighboring teeth from drifting out of position, and eliminates the aesthetic concern of a visible gap. For patients who are not candidates for implants or who prefer a non-surgical solution, a well-crafted bridge can be an excellent long-term option.
Dentures
For patients who have lost multiple or all of their teeth, dentures remain a reliable, cost-effective solution that can restore both function and appearance. At Smile Design Holistic, Dr. Baghaei takes a careful, individualized approach to denture design, taking detailed impressions and working to ensure the fit is as comfortable as possible from the first fitting. We offer both full dentures for patients who have lost all teeth in an arch, and partial dentures for those who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. For patients seeking greater stability, implant-supported dentures are also an option worth discussing. Our goal is to help you find the right solution for your situation, lifestyle, and budget while keeping your long-term oral health at the center of every decision.
