Wisdom Teeth Removal
Experience hassle-free wisdom teeth removal at Laguna Dental and Orthodontics in Laguna Niguel. Trust Dr. Fariba Bigdeli for a smooth procedure and rapid recovery.
The Rationale Behind Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last to emerge, usually between ages 17 and 25. Due to limited space in the mouth, they can often become impacted or misaligned, leading to pain, infection, and potential dental complications. At Laguna Dental and Orthodontics, Dr. Fariba Bigdeli harnesses her vast experience to ensure wisdom teeth removal is precise, comfortable, and efficient.
How Does The Procedure Unfold?
The removal procedure is tailored based on the position and health of your wisdom teeth. After an X-ray assessment, Dr. Bigdeli devises a strategic extraction plan. During the procedure, local anesthesia ensures you remain pain-free. The tooth is then accessed and removed, often in segments for easier and safer extraction.
Post-Extraction Care: Ensuring A Speedy Recovery
Following the removal, it's essential to follow Dr. Bigdeli's post-operative instructions closely. This includes managing swelling, eating soft foods, and avoiding any actions that might disturb the surgical sites.
Benefits:
- Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth.
- Prevents potential crowding or misalignment of surrounding teeth.
- Reduces the risk of infections or cyst formation around impacted wisdom teeth.
- Enhances overall oral health and well-being.
- Eliminates the potential for decay in hard-to-reach areas.
Not always. Dr. Bigdeli will assess the positioning, health, and potential complications before recommending extraction.
Typically, patients feel better within a few days, but it might take up to two weeks for complete recovery.
With local anesthesia, patients usually experience little to no pain during extraction. Mild discomfort post-procedure is normal and manageable with prescribed or recommended pain relievers.
As with any surgery, there are inherent risks. Potential complications, although rare, include infection, prolonged bleeding, or nerve injury. Following post-op instructions significantly reduces these risks.

Full Mouth Reconstruction
Experience a transformative full mouth reconstruction at Laguna Dental and Orthodontics in Laguna Niguel. Let Dr. Fariba Bigdeli recreate your smile, restoring both function and aesthetics."
Introduction to Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction refers to the process of completely restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. This comprehensive approach is often necessary due to extensive tooth decay, trauma, or long-term effects of periodontal disease. At Laguna Dental and Orthodontics, Dr. Fariba Bigdeli harnesses a blend of advanced technology and seasoned expertise to ensure patients regain their smile, confidence, and oral functionality.
What It Entails: An Overview
Full mouth reconstruction is a tailored journey. Depending on individual needs, it can include a combination of:
- Dental crowns
- Bridges
- Veneers
- Dental implants
- Dentures
- Root canal therapy
- Periodontal treatments
- Orthodontics, and more.
Dr. Bigdeli collaboratively works with patients to understand their concerns and goals, crafting a personalized treatment plan for optimal outcomes.
Emphasizing Comprehensive Care at Laguna Dental and Orthodontics
Dr. Bigdeli's commitment goes beyond merely reconstructing the teeth. She focuses on diagnosing and addressing underlying issues, ensuring lasting results. Her approach encompasses the health, function, and appearance of your teeth, providing patients with a renewed sense of oral well-being.
Benefits:
- Restoration of oral function, allowing comfortable eating and speaking.
- Improvement in facial aesthetics and structure.
- Boosted self-confidence with a rejuvenated smile.
- Alleviation of pain or discomfort caused by dental issues.
- Prevention of future oral health complications.
The timeframe varies based on individual needs and the treatments involved. Some procedures may take a few weeks, while others, like orthodontics, might span months or even years.
Every effort is made, including the use of anesthesia and sedation options, to ensure that treatments are as comfortable as possible. Post-procedure discomfort, if any, is manageable with prescribed medications.
While both focus on improving the appearance of the smile, a full mouth reconstruction also prioritizes restoring function and health, often due to dental diseases, decay, or trauma.
Regular oral hygiene practices and dental check-ups are crucial. Specific care may be advised based on the treatments received.
Dental Implants
Rediscover the strength and beauty of your smile with dental implants at Laguna Dental and Orthodontics in Laguna Niguel. Dr. Fariba Bigdeli offers top-tier implant solutions for lasting results.
Are dental implants suitable for everyone?The Essence of Dental Implants
Dental implants are surgical-grade root devices that support permanent tooth prosthetics that are manufactured to last a lifetime. These artificial roots anchor new teeth securely, ensuring functionality akin to natural teeth. At Laguna Dental and Orthodontics, Dr. Fariba Bigdeli provides patients with dental implant solutions that impeccably blend durability, function, and aesthetics.
Implant Anatomy and Procedure Insight
A dental implant predominantly comprises three parts:
- Titanium Implant: This acts as a replacement for the tooth root, offering stable support.
- Abutment: A connector that holds the replacement tooth or teeth in place.
- Crown (Prosthesis): The visible part of the tooth, custom-made to match your natural teeth.
The procedure begins with the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone. Once integrated and the area has healed, the abutment is fitted, followed by the custom-made crown.
Why Choose Dr. Bigdeli for Dental Implants?
Offering precision, extensive experience, and a patient-centric approach, Dr. Bigdeli ensures that every dental implant procedure at Laguna Dental and Orthodontics results in a seamless blend of functionality and appearance.
Benefits:
- A permanent solution to tooth loss.
- Restores near-natural tooth functionality, enabling comfortable eating and speaking.
- Prevents bone loss in the jaw.
- Enhances facial structure and aesthetics.
- Requires no special maintenance beyond regular oral hygiene.
Most adults with good general and oral health are suitable candidates. However, a thorough examination by Dr. Bigdeli will provide definitive answers.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Yes, once placed and healed, dental implants mimic the feel, function, and look of natural teeth.
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.

Whether you've lost teeth due to age, decay, or injury, Dr. Fariba Bigdeli at Laguna Dental and Orthodontics is committed to providing the best denture solutions, perfectly tailored to fit comfortably and look natural.
Types of Dentures Available
There are various denture options to cater to individual needs:

- Overdentures: Fitted over the roots of natural teeth or dental implants.
- Immediate Dentures: Provided immediately post extractions, serving as a temporary solution while permanent dentures are being made.
Dr. Bigdeli will guide you through the decision-making process, ensuring you choose the most suitable option for your dental health and lifestyle.
The Journey to New Teeth at Laguna Dental and Orthodontics
Dr. Bigdeli adopts a meticulous approach. After a comprehensive oral assessment, impressions are taken. These are sent to a dental lab, where your custom dentures are crafted. Once ready, fittings and adjustments are made, ensuring optimal comfort and function.
Benefits:
- Restores the functionality of the mouth, enabling comfortable eating and speaking.
- Boosts self-esteem with a rejuvenated smile.
- Provides facial muscle support, enhancing facial aesthetics.
- Non-surgical solution to missing teeth.
- Customized for comfort and a natural appearance.
With proper care, dentures can last many years. However, regular check-ups and potential adjustments are necessary as the mouth naturally changes over time.
There's a brief adjustment period, but with time and practice, most patients find eating and speaking quite comfortable.
Clean them daily, keep them moist when not worn, handle with care, and avoid using hot water or abrasive cleaning materials.
Dentures are designed to resemble your natural teeth, so there should be minimal change in appearance. They might even improve the look of your smile and fill out your facial profile.
