You are encouraged to bring your favorite CD or iPod to listen to during treatment. At your request, we will provide headphones to block out any background noise. Dr. Damurjian has installed the most advanced computer system and digital radiograph (x-ray) system available for the dental industry.

IMPLANT PLACEMENT AND RESTORATION
Dental implants are a lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. These titanium posts fuse with your jawbone to create a strong base for custom prosthetics, offering superior function and aesthetics. Implants can also secure bridges, partials, or dentures.
TOOTH-COLORES FILLINGS
Embarrassed by metal fillings? We offer durable, tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile and can even strengthen teeth. Whether you need new fillings or want to replace old ones, we’ll help you achieve a natural, all-white smile.
BRUXISM
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, often stems from stress or bite issues, causing pain, headaches, and tooth damage. We offer solutions like bite splints, night guards, and therapies to protect your teeth and relieve discomfort.
TEMPOROMANDIBULAR
TMJ/TMD occurs when the jaw joints aren’t functioning properly, causing symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, and clicking or popping sounds. We’ll evaluate your bite to identify the cause and offer treatments like oral appliances, lifestyle changes, or, in severe cases, surgery.
SNORING A PROBLEM?
Can't stand CPAP? Sleeping in Another Room because of Snoring? Falling Asleep at Work or in Your Car? Not Refreshed after a Full Nights Sleep?
These are all signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. 40% of the adult population snores and almost everyone who has sleep apnea snores. Sleep Apnea is a potentially life-threatening condition and often un-diagnosed.
THERE ARE SOLUTIONS!
Oral Appliance Therapy uses custom devices, similar to retainers or mouthguards, to move the lower jaw forward and relieve symptoms. To determine if this treatment is right for you, schedule an appointment with Dr. Damurjian today.

BRUSH AND FLOSS RIGHT!
Brushing and flossing stop plaque and tarter building up on your teeth. Brush and floss after every meal. Be sure to brush and floss right by following these tips.
Brushing
- Use a soft toothbrush and fluoride tooth-paste. Ask your dentist if you should use an electric toothbrush.
- Hold the brush at a 45 (degree sign) angle to your gum line. This lets the bristles reach under the gums. Gently brush all surfaces of your teeth with a circular motion.
- Scrub the chewing surfaces.
- Clean the inside of the upper and lower front teeth using the bristles at the tip of the toothbrush.
- Brush your tongue to clear away food and bacteria. Then rinse well.Flossing
- Ask your dentist to recommend the type of dental floss that's best for you.- Wrap 12 to 14 inches of floss around your middle fingers. Hold it tight between you thumb and index finger. Or, use a floss holder.- Ease the floss between your teeth. Rub up and down against the sides of each tooth.- Floss gently under your gum line where plaque tends to collect.
Remember... Periodontal disease can be an ongoing problem. Keep your gums and teeth healthy: brush, floss and visit your dentist for regular exams and cleanings. Eat a healthy diet.Periodontal Disease
Bacteria in your mouth form a sticky film (plaque) on teeth and gums. If not removed, this hardens into a crust (tartar). The bacteria in plaque and tartar can cause an infection called periodontal disease. This can lead to pain, gum damage, bone loss, and even tooth loss. Scaling and root planning is a special type of cleaning done by a general dentist, dental hygienist, or periodontist (dentist specializing in gum and bone problems). This cleaning removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gums. This helps restore health to your gums and teeth.
Your Evaluation
Your dentist looks at your gums for color changes, bleeding, swelling, and recession. Your teeth are checked for looseness and sensitivity. Full mouth x-rays show if there is bone loss around your teeth. You may be asked about your health to see if a medical condition, like diabetes, is contributing to your periodontal disease.
