Dental Services - Seattle, WA

Smiles on 35^th is proud to serve patients of all ages, including children. Our goal is to keep your smile healthy, beautiful, and strong.

Preventive dentistry services include examinations, digital x-rays, professional ultrasonic cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and oral hygiene education.

Our technology also includes cone-beam diagnostics, intraoral cameras, and an iTero® scanner. Moreover, we are proud to offer CEREC and CAD/CAM technology for same-day crowns.

If you have pain or sensitivity, you may have dental decay that requires a filling. Sometimes, however, patients experience no symptoms.

Our advanced diagnostic technology helps us detect dental decay before it becomes problematic. If caught in its earliest stage, we may recommend a “wait and watch” approach.

However, if you need a filling, you can be rest assured we offer the best. Our fillings are mercury-free and safe, and they are also tooth-colored. This means you don’t have to worry about health issues or unsightly fillings impeding the beauty of your smile.

Do you have pain or tenderness in one part of your gum or taste pus in your mouth? Don’t put off seeing your dentist. You could have a gum infection, and if it isn’t treated, it can quickly become an abscess. The pain from an abscess is severe and will usually bring patients in for an emergency visit.

If the abscess ruptures, you may notice a significant reduction in your pain, but treatment is still urgent, as an abscess cannot heal on its own.

For a mild infection, you may need nothing more than a course of antibiotics.

However, if you ignore your symptoms and the infection develops into an abscess, treatment is much more involved. It will need to be drained, and all the debris needs to be cleaned out. This may require deep cleaning with scaling and root planing.

If the abscess spreads to the pulp inside your tooth, you may need root canal treatment to remove the damaged part of the tooth. And if the abscess is large and has caused destruction of bone tissue, you may need an extraction.

If dental decay goes beyond the surface, you may need a root canal. In most cases, Dr. Shahid can perform your treatment without referring you out to someone else.

After root canal therapy, your tooth will most likely need a dental crown. Our CEREC and CAD/CAM technology allows us to provide you with a beautiful, natural-looking one-visit crown. This eliminates the need for repeat visits and a temporary crown.

Do you clench or grind your teeth? This habit, also called bruxism, can damage and wear down your teeth and cause problems with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This can lead to interrupted sleep, headaches, jaw pain, ringing in the ears, and a locked jaw.

Dr. Shahid can provide you with a custom-made device that stops bruxism. Since bruxism occurs most often when patients sleep, this device is meant to be worn at night.

Do you have several issues that affect the function and beauty of your smile? We can rebuild or restore all problem teeth with a combination of treatments.

Common reasons for a full mouth rehabilitation include:

• Several missing teeth from trauma, decay, or gum disease
• Broken or damaged teeth
• Severely worn teeth, such as from bruxism or acid reflux
• Pain in the jaw or headaches related to a misaligned bite

Treatment may include Invisalign clear aligners, dental crowns, bridges, implants, or dentures. It may also include the need for root canal therapy or oral surgery, such as extraction or a bone graft.

Crooked, crowded, and rotated teeth not only affect the beauty of your smile, but they also affect function and overall oral health.

If you would like to improve your smile with orthodontics, we offer Invisalign clear aligners. This innovative orthodontic option can effectively straighten your teeth and improve your bite discreetly, comfortably, and in less time than traditional metal braces.

Whether you need treatment to restore the function of your teeth or want to improve the beauty of your smile, Dr. Shahid can help.
