What We Offer
Scottsdale / Phoenix Dental services to help the entire family thrive.
A comprehensive exam is the foundation of your dental health. Dr. Karaboulad examines every tooth, evaluates your gum tissue, checks your bite, reviews existing restorations, and screens for oral cancer at every visit. Problems identified early cost less to treat and cause less damage to surrounding structure.
A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing cannot address on their own. Tartar is mineralized bacterial plaque that bonds to tooth surfaces and can only be removed with dental instruments.
X-rays reveal what a visual exam cannot. Decay between teeth, bone loss beneath the gumline, infections at root tips, impacted teeth, and early-stage pathology are all identified on X-rays before they become visible or symptomatic.
Oral cancer screening is included at every exam. Dr. Karaboulad examines the lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, soft palate, throat, and cheek tissue for abnormalities. Early detection of oral cancer dramatically improves treatment outcomes. Risk factors include tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, HPV, and prolonged sun exposure to the lips.
Fluoride strengthens enamel by promoting remineralization and making enamel more resistant to acid attack. Professional fluoride treatments deliver a higher concentration directly to tooth surfaces than any toothpaste or rinse provides.
Veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain custom-fabricated to bond to the front surfaces of teeth. They change color, shape, size, length, and surface texture simultaneously. Done well, they are indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Professional whitening produces results that over-the-counter products cannot match. We offer two delivery methods depending on your goals and timeline.
Composite bonding applies tooth-colored resin directly to the tooth surface to repair chips, close small gaps, correct minor shape irregularities, or cover discoloration on individual teeth. It is completed in a single appointment without laboratory fabrication.
Invisalign moves teeth gradually using a series of custom-made clear plastic trays. Each tray applies controlled pressure to shift specific teeth incrementally. You wear each set for one to two weeks before advancing to the next.
White composite fillings replace old metal amalgam fillings and restore teeth affected by decay without the gray or black appearance of traditional metal restorations. Composite bonds directly to tooth structure, allowing more conservative preparation than amalgam required.
A crown is a full-coverage restoration that caps the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. Crowns protect and restore teeth that are too damaged, decayed, or structurally compromised for a filling to address adequately.
The shape and level of your gum tissue affects how your teeth look as much as the teeth themselves. A gummy smile, where excess gum tissue covers too much of the tooth surface, makes teeth appear short and disproportionate. Asymmetric gum levels make an otherwise straight smile look uneven.
A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth on either side of the gap. It is cemented permanently and functions like natural teeth for chewing and speaking.
Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch. Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. Both are removable appliances fabricated to fit the shape of your mouth.
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gum and bone tissue supporting your teeth. It is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It also has documented connections to cardiovascular disease, diabetes management, and systemic inflammation.
Dental emergencies do not follow a schedule. When you are in pain, have a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess, a broken tooth, or a lost crown or filling, contact our Scottsdale office directly. We prioritize emergency patients and offer same-day appointments when available.
Third molars, commonly called wisdom teeth, erupt between ages 17 and 25. Many people do not have sufficient space for wisdom teeth to erupt fully and in proper alignment. Impacted wisdom teeth cause pain, infection, damage to adjacent second molars, and crowding.
When a tooth is extracted, the bone that surrounded the root begins to shrink. If implant placement is planned, preserving bone volume at the time of extraction significantly improves implant outcomes. A socket preservation graft placed immediately after extraction maintains the bone dimensions needed for a future implant.
A dental implant is the closest available replacement to a natural tooth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone where it integrates with the bone over a healing period of three to six months. An abutment and porcelain crown are then attached, completing the restoration.
Bruxism is the clinical term for grinding and clenching teeth, most commonly during sleep. Many patients are unaware they grind until a dental exam reveals the evidence, which includes worn biting surfaces, chipped edges, and sensitivity patterns consistent with grinding.
A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth, disinfects the root canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. The tooth remains in your mouth and with a crown placed afterward, functions normally for many years.
A tooth abscess is a bacterial infection that requires prompt treatment. It does not resolve on its own and spreads to surrounding bone, adjacent teeth, and in serious cases, to the jaw, neck, and bloodstream.
A cracked tooth causes sharp pain on biting that resolves quickly, sensitivity to cold, or both. The symptoms are specific enough that patients often know something is wrong before they see it visually.
Extraction is the last resort, not the first recommendation. When a tooth is not restorable due to severe decay, fracture below the gumline, advanced bone loss from periodontal disease, or infection that has destroyed surrounding structure, removal is the appropriate decision.
The temporomandibular joint connects your lower jaw to your skull. Dysfunction of this joint, called TMD, causes jaw pain, clicking or popping when opening and closing the mouth, limited range of motion, headaches, and facial muscle soreness.
