The dental laser instrument sends out an intense, but very narrow, beam of energy. Once the laser light reaches tissue, a reaction forms that removes damaged tissue, or reshapes the tissue — depending on your needs. Laser treatments can be used by themselves to treat a dental issue, or sometimes they’re used in combination with other procedures, like drilling techniques.
The majority of dental and oral issues you may have can be resolved with some sort of laser dentistry. Lasers can help:
Probably not. One of the benefits of using a laser in dental treatments is that it generally causes less pain. Most men and women don’t even need a numbing injection beforehand. Of course, if you are in discomfort, Dr. Nosratabadi can stop at any time to administer a local anesthetic injection.
Depending on your needs, the option to go with either one might exist. Many patients prefer the laser procedure, simply because usually it doesn’t cause the pain that a drill does. Laser dentistry often makes patients feel more comfortable and less anxious — possibly because you won’t have to listen to the noise, or feel the grinding, of the drill.
The laser is also beneficial because it lessens the chances of bleeding during soft tissue treatments. During a root canal procedure, the laser is more likely to preserve healthy parts of your tooth.
Yes. Dental lasers act like a heat source during teeth whitening treatments. Once Dr. Nosratabadi applies the peroxide bleaching solution to your teeth, she uses the laser to activate the solution. This speeds up and improves your teeth whitening treatment, helping you have a long-lasting whiter smile.

Getting a smile makeover can definitely boost your confidence. Plus, straighter teeth are easier to keep clean and maintain, minimizing the chances of future cavities or other dental issues. At RNA Dentistry, Dr. Rozita Nosratabadi — located in Los Angeles — can work with you to find the right treatment to perfect your smile. Dr. Nosratabadi provides both fixed braces and modern removable straightening devices, giving all men and women options for achieving that flawless smile.
Both Invisalign and ClearCorrect are smile makeover retainers that straighten your teeth. Throughout your treatment, you’ll get a series of plastic retainers that fit snugly over your teeth. Each retainer continually pushes your teeth into the proper alignment. As your teeth shift, you’ll get a new retainer. With Invisalign, you typically get a new retainer each week. Usually with ClearCorrect, you get a new retainer every 2-3 weeks. Either option requires wearing your retainer for around 22 hours per day.
It just depends on your needs and comfort level as to which option you select. Some patients find that Invisalign is more comfortable, while other patients prefer ClearCorrect. While they are similar, Dr. Nosratabadi can go over both options to help you determine which one might be a better option.
Yes. Due to the high cost and retainer fittings involved with Invisalign and ClearCorrect, some patients prefer fixed braces. You’ll get the same end result — a straighter smile — either way. Traditional fixed braces can take longer to perfect your smile though. Most treatment plans are 12-24 months with fixed braces, while removable braces (like Invisalign and ClearCorrect) often work in less than one year.
Yes. Straight teeth aren’t just essential for a perfect smile. When your teeth are properly aligned, your bite is also aligned. This can minimize chipping, breaking, and fractures that occur when your bite is off. Straight teeth are also often easier to maintain. When your teeth are set right next to each other as they should be, you can floss and brush more efficiently, minimizing chances of decay later.
Whether you have removable braces or fixed braces, you still need to come in to have your progress checked about once every 6-8 weeks. For fixed braces, you’ll need to have the braces manually adjusted. If you have removable braces, you likely will need to be fitted for new retainers.

The first thing people notice about you is your face, so naturally, you want to feel confident about your smile. At RNA Dentistry in Los Angeles, Dr. Rozita Nosratabadi is an expert in cosmetic dentistry. From teeth whitening, to veneers and beyond, she can help you get the smile you’ve always dreamed of, while working with your budget.
Cosmetic dentistry includes all kinds of treatments and procedures that help you achieve a healthy, straighter smile. Dr. Nosratabadi provides:
While you may experience some discomfort during certain procedures, you shouldn’t be in pain. Teeth whitening is one type of cosmetic dentistry that can be uncomfortable, but it isn’t painful. When you get into more invasive procedures like dental implants that require crowns, Dr. Nosratabadi usually uses a local anesthetic to minimize your discomfort. She also can provide nitrous oxide, which is commonly known as “laughing gas”, to soothe your anxiety. This gas often makes patients drift off to sleep during procedures.
Yes. If you break a tooth or have some type of trauma that knocks out a tooth, you might need a cosmetic procedure right away. Dr. Nosratabadi can help restore a tooth that was knocked out, or replace it all together with a dental implant. If you have an accident that results in a broken tooth, don’t panic; just give the office a call. Dr. Nosratabadi can reshape your tooth, cover it with a veneer, or use a composite filling to get your smile back.
Dr. Nosratabadi uses professional-strength teeth whitening treatments to give you your dream smile in just one visit. If you try to whiten your teeth at home, you risk damaging your teeth from leaving harsh chemicals on too long — or allowing them to seep into sensitive gum tissue. This can lead to tooth sensitivity and increased risk of breaks or fractures in the future.
It depends on what you’re having done. Teeth whitening, for instance, can often be completed in one visit. If you’re being fitted for veneers or a new crown or bridge, you’ll likely get a temporary covering during your first visit. You’ll need to come back to get your dental device permanently attached when it comes back from the lab.

Getting a dental implant is a big decision, since it’s designed to last the rest of your life. At RNA Dentistry in Los Angeles, Dr. Rozita Nosratabadi will make your dental implant procedure as smooth as possible. She fit you for an implant and crown that’ll blend seamlessly into your smile. You probably won’t even know it’s not your own tooth.
You don’t want to have a gap in your mouth after losing a tooth or having a severe tooth fracture. This can lead to other oral health problems later on down the line. A dental implant can:
Plus, when you have an implant that’s aligned with your other teeth, it’s easier to brush and floss teeth more efficiently. Better home care prevents future decay from occurring.
During your first visit, Dr. Nosratabadi surgically implants posts below your gums. The post is made from long-lasting titanium. Because the surrounding tissues and bones need time to heal, Dr. Nosratabadi covers the post with a temporary crown. Typically, it takes about 6-12 weeks for the area to heal. During that time, you’ll also wait for your permanent crown to come in from the lab.
After the implanted post bonds to your jawbone, Dr. Nosratabadi connects an abutment to the post to secure the new tooth (during your next visit). Then she permanently bonds the new crown to the abutment and makes any adjustments where necessary to ensure it fits correctly. You might need to come in for one additional appointment, so Dr. Nosratabadi can check to ensure the new tooth is comfortable for you. She can file down any areas that don’t feel quite right or don’t match up perfectly with your bite.
Dental implants are permanent and are fused right into your jawbone. You probably will feel some discomfort, especially with buzzing from the drill. But you shouldn’t be in agonizing pain. Dr. Nosratabadi uses a local anesthetic to numb the area so you don’t feel much. She also can provide laughing gas (nitrous oxide) to help ease your anxiety and make your appointment more comfortable. Many men and women report that getting an implant is less painful than having a tooth extracted.
Getting veneers can help get the smile you’ve always wanted, especially if you have broken, discolored, or misshapen teeth. At RNA Dentistry in Los Angeles, Dr. Rozita Nosratabadi is a leading veneer specialist. She can help determine if veneers are a good fit for you and get you started on a new set as soon
Getting veneers can help get the smile you’ve always wanted, especially if you have broken, discolored, or misshapen teeth. At RNA Dentistry in Los Angeles, Dr. Rozita Nosratabadi is a leading veneer specialist. She can help determine if veneers are a good fit for you and get you started on a new set as soon as possible.
For some men and women, minor reshaping with the drill, paired with professional teeth whitening, is enough to achieve that gleaming smile. If your teeth are cracked, chipped, misshapen, or severely stained, those treatments may not work. Under those circumstances, veneers can be especially helpful.
Veneers are very thin shells, made up of porcelain or composite resin, that fit directly over each tooth. Once they are bonded to your teeth, they provide a natural, more pleasing smile. Veneers also are very difficult to stain, so you’ll be able to keep your pearly whites whiter for a long period of time.
During your first appointment, Dr. Nosratabadi thoroughly cleans your mouth and figures out which shade of white is best for your veneers. She’ll gently remove small amounts of tooth enamel, so the veneers can fit right on. Depending on the sensitivity of your teeth, you may or may not need local anesthesia during this time. Most men and women do just fine with no numbing agents, although you can certainly ask for local anesthesia if you are in any sort of discomfort.
After all of the selected teeth are reshaped, Dr. Nosratabadi takes impressions of your teeth to send to the lab. She covers each tooth with a temporary veneer until your permanent ones come in.
During your second appointment, Dr. Nosratabadi removes the temporary veneers and cements your permanent veneers in place through a light curing process. She finishes up by removing any excess material and reshaping the veneers as needed. You might need to come in for one more appointment, just as a follow-up to check for comfort.
Veneers are considered long-lasting, rather than permanent. Many men and women with veneers can enjoy them for as long as 7-15 years. With good oral hygiene techniques at home, paired with regular dental exams and cleanings, your veneers might last even longer. Once they start chipping, become discolored, or fall off, you’ll need to have them replaced.

Staying on top of your oral health doesn’t just mean you brush and floss regularly. You actually need to get routine dental care. Dr. Rozita Nosratabadi of RNA Dentistry in Los Angeles is committed to helping you maintain a healthy mouth. She’s currently accepting new patients in need of cleanings, x-rays, oral exams, and other general dentistry procedures.
Regular dental cleanings are usually recommended two times per year, although it does vary by patient. Even if you have the most by-the-book perfect teeth cleaning regimen at home, you still need to be seen by a dentist regularly. Routine exams and cleanings allow Dr. Nosratabadi to keep tabs on your oral health and see if anything abnormal is lingering below your gum line. She can remove stuck-on plaque and correct early decay before a deep cavity forms.
General dentistry, as the name implies, involves all areas of oral care. Dr. Nosratabadi can provide restorative services, such as fillings, crowns, and bridges. She even can correct problems from trauma, such as a broken or dislodged tooth. One of the most important jobs in general dentistry is prevention. Dr. Nosratabadi can teach you how to properly care for your teeth and gums at home, or provide dental sealants to further protect your teeth.
Dr. Nosratabadi also specializes in cosmetic treatments, including teeth whitening and straightening with removable braces. As a general dentist and a dental surgeon, she can help with tooth pain, jaw joint pain (TMJ), and root canals. No matter what type of tooth concern you have, the specialized team at RNA Dentistry can help.
Part of dentistry includes gathering your entire medical history. Dr. Nosratabadi needs to know if you have chronic medical conditions or take prescription medications, since those might impact your oral health. She’ll often use imaging, like x-rays, to check for decay or abnormalities below your gum line. Also, you’ll likely have to bite down a few times while she looks into your mouth, so she can see if you have any issues with biting, chewing, or swallowing.
If you’re at risk for developing oral cancer — if it runs in your family — she can screen you during an exam to check for warning signs of development. All of these diagnostic tools and screenings can help keep your teeth healthy for the rest of your life.

A gleaming, glistening smile isn’t something only movie stars can have. Modern teeth whitening treatments are more available and affordable. Los Angeles-based dentist Dr. Rozita Nosratabadi of RNA Dentistry can minimize any discoloration or staining in your teeth using the Zoom treatment. Most men and women notice a drastic improvement by the time they leave the office.
Zoom is a professional teeth whitening system that minimizes discoloration of your teeth. Dr. Nosratabadi uses a shade guide to help determine which shade of white is best for your smile. She’ll get a “before” photo of your smile to use as a comparison after your treatment.
During your visit, the team at RNA Dentistry will clean and polish your teeth, and clean your gums. They’ll also apply special creams to protect your lips and gums to minimize damaging delicate tissues. You will have a retractor in your mouth to keep your lips back and protect your tongue. Once the surrounding areas are covered, Dr. Nosratabadi applies the whitening gel. Then she uses a laser light to help the whitening gel penetrate.
Whitening your teeth with Zoom can often be done on your lunch break, although it depends on how white you need to go. During your treatment, Dr. Nosratabadi continues wiping away and reapplying the solution every 15 minutes, until she feels confident that your teeth are as white as you want them to be. The benefit of continuously checking your teeth — rather than leaving the treatment on for a long period of time — is that she can control how white your teeth get, so you can get the exact shade that’s right for you.
You can, but it isn’t recommended. Over-the-counter teeth whitening remedies can damage your teeth and surrounding tissues if you’re not careful. If left on too long, they can make your teeth incredibly sensitive. Plus, they’re not as powerful as professional treatments like Zoom, so you might have pain or damage, without much whitening improvement.
The other issue with at-home remedies is they might leave your teeth splotchy. A dental professional uses bright lights, lasers, and specialized lenses to ensure that each tooth is equally whitened. If you try to whiten on your own, you could be left with mismatched teeth.

Living in pain because of TMJ (temporomandibular joint), doesn’t have to be the norm. With the help of Dr. Nosratabadi and the practitioners at RNA Dentistry in Los Angeles, you can get the right diagnosis and treatment to relieve your pain. The TMJ experts at RNA Dentistry can teach you at-home remedies, in addition to providing pain relief in the office, so you don’t have to suffer with TMJ another day.
Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders, shortened to TMJ, include several conditions that lead to pain and disfunction in your jaw. You may experience pain when you open your mouth, talk, or chew. Or you could have a constant, dull aching pain in your jaw joint. Much of the time, some sort of trauma causes TMJ. Arthritis, teeth grinding, and issues with the ball and socket of the joint can also lead to TMJ, although the exact causes aren’t always known. Some men and women who have TMJ also live with jaw stiffness, locking of the jaw, or popping of the jaw. If left untreated, TMJ can actually change the way your lower teeth align with your upper teeth.
One of the best things you can do for TMJ is to give the area time to heal on its own. But that’s tough to do. After all, you use your mouth for talking, breathing, and eating, so you have to open it. You can ease up on your jaw joint though, by eating soft foods and chewing slowly. Ice packs can often minimize inflammation and swelling caused by TMJ. Dr. Nosratabadi can teach you techniques to do at home to reduce stress on your jaw.
If Dr. Nosratabadi determines that your TMJ comes from grinding or clenching your teeth, she can fit you for a mouthguard. This dental device, usually worn at night, can help minimize strain on your jaw joint.
Possibly, although it’s always a last resort. Dr. Nosratabadi can perform an arthroscopy that allows her to see inside your jaw joint. This surgery, done under general anesthesia, allows the use of a small scope to view the joint and remove any inflamed tissue that’s adds to your TMJ issues. She can also realign the joint or disc, if need be.
In some cases, an arthroscope might not work for you. In this instance, you might need open-joint surgery. Usually you’ll only need this more invasive type of surgery if you have tumors in the area, or if your jaw bone is severely damaged or worn down.
