Actual Patient Review

“My Smile Looks Amazing!”

“I started Invisalign because my teeth were chipping due to how crowded they were and the way my bite came together. My lower right tooth was cracking more and more from the stress, which meant I would need a crown. I also had several other things going on with my teeth and jaw which I hadn’t put together as having anything to do with my teeth crowding or my bite. For instance, I had signs of gum disease developing. Also, I would also grind my teeth at night and wake up with jaw aches and I used to get regular migraine headaches. My jaw was tight and hurt, and sometimes I couldn’t open my mouth without severe pain.

After Invisalign, my gums are now perfect and healthy and I haven’t had a migraine headache in over a year—a major plus I was not expecting. My jaw pain and tightness ceased almost immediately and I have not had any issues since starting Invisalign.

And the results are just awesome. Along with all the above health benefits, my smile actually looks amazing! Thank you, Doctor
Seifi! I see all the miracles you produce every day and am so glad I have had the benefit of being one of them.” ~ K., Rockville, MD

Invisalign: The Answer to Crooked Teeth

Now more than ever, people seem to be concerned with the appearance of their teeth. Perhaps it’s because first impressions are made largely based on one’s smile, per recent studies. That may be why people suffering from crooked teeth tend to hide their smiles. But crooked teeth do more than cause one embarrassment. They pose health risks including gum disease, broken teeth and chronic pain. If you have crooked teeth, don’t be discouraged—you can have beautifully straight teeth and better oral health with Invisalign.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a tooth-straightening procedure which uses custom alignment trays to cover the teeth. These trays, made of clear plastic, gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment. Because they are invisible, people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. And, unlike metal braces, you can eat whatever you like. When treatment is complete, you’ll have the gorgeous smile you’ve been dreaming of.

How Invisalign Works

Where to begin? Here are the four steps to a brand new smile:

1. Free Consultation: Come in for a free consultation with Dr. Seifi to discuss any concerns about your teeth and how you want them to look. Dr. Seifi is well-known for her outstanding work in cosmetic dentistry and has utilized Invisalign to help hundreds of patients. She’ll listen closely to your needs and tell you honestly what Invisalign can do for you.
2. Treatment Plan: Once you get started, Dr. Seifi will use imaging technology to create a virtual representation of how your teeth will look during treatment and the amazing final result. She’ll also let you
   know how long the treatment will be.
3. Invisalign Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, a series of customized clear aligners will be created for you. Just wear the aligners through the day and remove them to eat and clean your teeth. You’ll change to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks. As time goes on, you’ll notice your teeth gradually shifting into their properplace.
4. Smile! Treatment is done and it’s time to celebrate your gorgeous new smile.

You can have the smile of your dreams with Invisalign. Call (301) 770-1070 to schedule your free consultation today.

Why Crooked Teeth Affect More Than Your Smile

A common complaint from patients is that they are unhappy with their smiles. Very often, it’s because their teeth are misaligned or crooked, which makes the patient self-conscious. Unfortunately, crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic issue; they actually create health problems—one of the most serious being gum disease.

Gum disease is a bacterial infection which harms the gums, erodes the jawbone, causes tooth loss and can lead to heart disease, diabetes and other illness. People with crooked teeth are at a higher risk of gum disease because the teeth are very difficult to properly clean. As a result, bacteria can grow freely and gum disease sets in. Misaligned teeth also put undue strain on the mouth and jaw which can cause head or jaw pain. Additionally, excessive pressure can may cause teeth to chip, break or wear down.

There is no reason to suffer with misaligned, crooked or overcrowded teeth. Invisalign invisible braces give you the beautifully straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without the downside of traditional braces. I’ve delivered Invisalign to hundreds of patients and get fantastic results. I invite you to see me and discuss how Invisalign can give you the smile you’ve been dreaming of. Call (301) 770-1070 today.

Tooth Pain While Exercising

Tooth pain while exercising: What gives?

Many of our patients have experienced, and have reported instances of, tooth pain while exercising. This is surprisingly common, as we’ve seen many such reports of this occurring. There is usually two main reasons, however, that one can experience tooth pain while exercising, or exerting themselves. Broadly, this falls under a.) infection in the teeth themselves, or in the gums surrounding the teeth, and b.) trauma to the teeth, gums, or jaw. There are a few other contributors to this as well, and we’ll cover as much as we can here.

Two Contributing Areas of Infection

The two main contributing areas of infection, when it comes to tooth pain while exercising, are the teeth and the gums. Sensitivity of either is usually an indicator of infection, actually.

Cavities in the teeth are actually a type of infection. Cavities start in the enamel of the teeth due to bacteria. The bacteria produces waste after “eating” food particles in the mouth, this waste is highly corrosive to the enamel of your teeth. This acidic waste will gradually produce a cavity. Once the cavity is formed, it’s already weakened the hardest substance in the human body, the enamel, and will proceed down into the next layer; the dentin. Dentin is much more porous than your enamel, and the cavity will spread and go deeper at a much quicker pace. When the cavity reaches the nerve, or even comes near it, sensitivity in the tooth goes up quite markedly. Air, cold drinks, ice cream, increased blood flow, etc., all can cause intense sensitivity or even pain in the tooth. Getting this tooth pain while exercising can come from the rapid flow, or temperature of the air on inhale. The nerves and blood vessels in and around the tooth can also play a part, as the fluid in them increases with exertion. Winter around Rockville, MD and the surrounding DC area can get pretty cold, this cold temperature can play a big role.

The other area of infection is the gums. Infection of the gums is also called gum disease, gingivitis, and periodontitis. When the gums get infected, by the bad bacteria in the mouth, they will become red, swollen, and sensitive. A large amount of fluid can build up where the infection is located. Sometimes when you floss, or even touch the area of infection, your gums can be seen to bleed. This is not a normal occurrence, and is a result of gum infection. These infected areas of the gum are sensitive. Increased blood flow that results from physical exertion and exercise, can produce sensitivity in the gums, simply because of the pressure of the fluid build up.

Physical Trauma of the Teeth

Sometimes when we are exerting ourselves, as when we are intensely exercising, we may end up gritting our teeth. Gritting your teeth regularly, or severely enough, can cause trauma to the nerves and cause them to become inflamed, thusly producing pain or sensitivity in the teeth or gums. Gritting the teeth can also affect your jaw muscles, causing an ache.

If you run or jog with your jaw slightly apart, the impact of the feet against the running surface can cause your jaw to snap shut. This can also cause the inflammation of the nerves in your teeth. Bringing your teeth together rapidly, and forcefully enough will produce pain or sensitivity.

Don’t Live With Tooth Pain While Exercising

If you are regularly experiencing tooth pain while exercising, or in general, you should definitely visit the dentist to at least rule out tooth decay or gum disease. We are located right here in Rockville, MD to help you.

Don’t let tooth pain affect you while you are trying to get healthier by exercising. Take care of your whole body. Including your teeth. Call (301) 770-1070 to schedule a dental exam or fill out the form below.

Actual Patient Review

“Everything was perfect…”
“I have been to many dentists over the years and somehow made it through fillings, cleanings, whatever. Then came my most recent visit with Dr. Maryam Seifi and I realized this visit was totally different from what I have had in the past.

Honestly, there are no words to really convey what this experience with Dr. Seifi and her team was like. It is truly indescribable. It was not just her care or attention to my comfort. There was such a feeling of competence that I had no attention on the dental work she was doing. I was relaxed and when we were done, everything was perfect. I now know what it is supposed to be like when you go to a dentist.” ~ B.F., Rockville, MD

Tired of Denture Problems?

Discover a Revolutionary New Approach to Dentures

A groundbreaking advancement in dental technology is now changing the lives of denture wearers for the better with implant-supported dentures. To understand this procedure, it’s helpful to understand how implants work.

A dental implant is typically used to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant itself is a small titanium screw which is placed within the jaw. An artificial tooth is then attached to it. Implant-supported dentures work by applying this principle to dentures. The difference is that rather than have a single implant for every missing tooth, you need just four or six implants in the top of your mouth and four or six on the bottom. Your dentures can be permanently anchored to the implants or, alternately, made to snap on and off the implants. What’s right for each patient depends on their individual oral health situation. Either way, these implant-supported dentures will look and function almost like real teeth.

You’ll Love Your Dentures

You will fall in love with your implant-supported dentures. For starters, you will no longer need to worry about embarrassing slippage. You will also experience a dramatic improvement in your ability to chew and be free to eat more of the foods you like. And when permanently attached, cleaning your implant-supported dentures is as simple as cleaning natural teeth, with a brush and floss.

Improve Both Oral Health and Appearance

Natural teeth stimulate the gums and jawbone, which keeps them healthy. In contrast, traditional dentures fail to provide such stimulation. Thus gums deteriorate and bone loss occurs. As time goes on, bone loss spreads and makes one look older. Implant-supported dentures provide health-giving stimulation to the gums and jawbone, preserving your oral health and facial structure.

Free Consultation for Permanent Dentures

Dr. Maryam Seifi and her team of specialists at StarBrite Dental have extensive experience and training in the implant process. Come in for a free consultation to see how implant-supported dentures can change your life. Call our Rockville, MD dental office at (301) 770-1070 or fill out the form below.

Implant-Supported Dentures: Groundbreaking Dental Implant Technology

A Message from Dr. Seifi

I love dentistry because it allows me to change people’s lives for the better. Implant-supported dentures are a good example of this. Although traditional dentures are a practical solution for missing teeth, they can also create issues—the most significant being bone loss. The reason for this is that the roots of natural teeth stimulate the gums and jawbone, keeping them healthy. Once the roots are gone, the jawbone begins to shrink.

Fortunately, groundbreaking dental implant technology now offers a highly workable solution to the problems of traditional dentures. That solution is implant-supported dentures—dentures that are anchored to the jaw through dental implants.

Dental implants are artificial teeth which look and function like real teeth. Typically, a single artificial tooth is attached to a single screw which is inserted into the jawbone. However, with implant-supported dentures, about four to six implants are needed on the top and bottom to support a complete set of dentures.

Implant-supported dentures can be permanently fixed to the jaw or made to snap on and off the jaw, depending on the patient. In either case, the outcome is spectacular. The dentures fit well, preserve rather than erode the jawbone, are unlikely to slip and allow patients to eat many more of their favorite foods.

If you are concerned about the way your teeth look or are embarrassed about your smile, come see me for a no-charge consultation in my Rockville, MD office. I can help you get the exact smile you’ve always wanted. Call (301) 770-1070. or fill out the form below.

Actual Patient Review

“The woman who did my teeth cleaning was excellent. She was very professional and friendly. She gave me some very useful information regarding taking care of my teeth. Dr. Seifi did a check-up after the cleaning which is always very reassuring. They screened for oral cancer, and applied strong fluoride paste after the excellent cleaning which I always ask for.

The care program whereby you pay a lump sum in the beginning of the year is more than good. You get a lot of continual care for a small amount of money. It is a very patient-friendly program. It was an excellent visit, approximately an hour. I will go back in three months for another cleaning.” ~ T.Q., Rockville, MD
