How often should I see the dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that most adults and children visit the dentist twice a year for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. However, if you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain health conditions like diabetes, we may recommend visiting every three to four months to keep your smile healthy.

How can I prevent cavities?

The best way to prevent cavities is to maintain a strong daily oral hygiene routine. You should brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily to remove plaque between teeth, and limit sugary snacks and beverages. Visiting us every six months for a professional cleaning and exam is also crucial for stopping decay before it starts.

How much does professional teeth whitening cost?

Professional teeth whitening starts at $349 at our Sherman Oaks office.

Do I really need to pull my wisdom teeth?

Not always. If your wisdom teeth are fully erupted, healthy, and properly aligned, they may not need to be removed. However, if they are impacted, causing pain, crowding nearby teeth, or showing signs of decay, removal is usually recommended. We can evaluate your wisdom teeth during a checkup.

How important is flossing?

Flossing is essential for your oral health. Brushing alone only cleans about 60% of your tooth surfaces. Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline, helping to prevent cavities, bad breath, and gum disease.

Bone Grafting in Sherman Oaks

Restore lost bone and build a stronger foundation for dental implants and long-term oral health.

If you’ve lost bone due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or trauma, bone grafting at Riverside Dental Sherman Oaks can help rebuild your jaw structure. This minor surgical procedure is often essential for placing dental implants, preventing further bone loss, and maintaining facial support and function. Our team uses advanced techniques and biocompatible materials to ensure safe, effective healing.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds or regenerates bone in the jaw. It’s commonly used to:

We use synthetic, autogenous (your own), or allograft (donor) bone materials to rebuild volume and stimulate natural bone regeneration.

When Do You Need Bone Grafting?

You may need a bone graft if:

You’ve had a tooth extracted and plan to replace it with an implant
Your jawbone is too thin or soft to support an implant
You’ve experienced bone loss from gum disease
You’ve worn dentures for many years
A missing tooth area has sunken or collapsed

Bone grafting ensures your jaw is strong and stable enough for long-term tooth replacement and structural balance.

Types of Bone Grafting We Perform

Socket Preservation

Performed immediately after tooth extraction to preserve the site for future implant placement.

Ridge Augmentation

Used when the jawbone has receded or shrunk, restoring width and height to support implants or prosthetics.

Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation)

Performed in the upper jaw to raise the sinus floor and add bone where molars and premolars are missing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a chipped front tooth and came to Dr. Ruben Soleymani — he did an amazing job fixing it. You honestly can’t even tell it was ever chipped. Super clean work, looks totally natural. He was easy to talk to and made the whole process smooth. Really glad I found him!
