Dental Implants
Patients who are missing a tooth or multiple teeth and are seeking stronger, more durable restorative options should consider dental implants. Available at our office serving the Palmdale, Santa Clarita, and Antelope Valley area, dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone and gum tissue to provide an anchor for a fixed porcelain crown or denture. These artificial tooth restorations are precisely color-matched to your existing teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable. Since dental implants are securely placed into the bone and gum tissue, the artificial tooth looks more realistic and functions more like a regular tooth.
Implant-supported dentures are widely considered a vast improvement over conventional dentures. Dental implants provide superior stability as well prevent bone loss and gum recession. Implant-supported dentures allow your dentures to snap into place, making them sturdy and secure. Implant dentistry patients can smile and chew with confidence.
If you live in the Palmdale, Santa Clarita, or Antelope Valley area and would like to know if dental implants are right for you, contact our Valencia dental office to arrange a consultation today. After a careful evaluation, Dr. Jonathan Greenburg and Dr. Nushin Shir can develop a dental treatment plan that can restore beauty and function to your smile.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment allows our Valencia cosmetic dentists to straighten the teeth of children and adults, giving them beautiful smiles. At our Santa Clarita-area office, we tailor our orthodontics to the needs of our patients. We understand the different dental priorities of both children and adults and cater to their unique needs.
Children’s Orthodontics
In order to take full advantage of natural bone growth, it is important for children to receive an orthodontic examination when they are seven or eight years old. By the age of 10, most bone growth is already complete and, although we can still straighten the teeth, in many cases it is no longer possible to create proper facial symmetry without surgery. When a face does not have proper proportions, a nose might look too big, there might be a gummy smile, or a weak chin. Caught early enough, many of these issues can be corrected or at least minimized with orthodontics.
Another benefit of early orthodontic care is that we rarely need to extract any permanent teeth to straighten the smile. Our office has seen many adult patients with breathing problems, snoring problems, obstructive sleep apnea, and TMJ that we believe would have been less severe if their permanent teeth had not been extracted for orthodontic reasons when they were kids.
Adult Orthodontics
For adults, it is never too late to undergo orthodontic treatment in order to straighten your teeth and improve the appearance of your smile. In fact, the most common comment we hear from our adult patients who have received orthodontic treatment is, “Why did I wait so long?” Artistic Smiles Family Dentistry & Orthodontics offer adults a variety of orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces, removable appliances, and Invisalign®. When you schedule a consultation at our office, we will go over your treatment options and help you determine the best course of action to meet your needs. So if straight teeth are what you’ve always wanted, don’t wait any longer. Isn’t it time you loved your smile and how you look in pictures?

Sedation Dentistry
Dr. Jonathan Greenburg and Dr. Nushin Shir are trained to provide safe, comfortable, and relaxing sedation dentistry at their office serving the Santa Clarita, Palmdale, and Antelope Valley area. Dental visits can be the cause of great anxiety for some people. Artistic Smiles Family Dentistry & Orthodontics offers sleep and sedation dentistry techniques, allowing patients to be relaxed and totally free from anxiety during dental procedures and visits. With our sedation dentistry, a board-certified anesthesiologist will put you to sleep and monitor you. When you wake up, the work is completed.
We can perform an array of restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry services, including porcelain veneers, CEREC® one-visit crowns, and tooth-colored fillings, that can restore health and beauty to your mouth while you rest comfortably. We will carefully determine whether you are a candidate for conscious sedation prior to the procedure. When a patient is placed under sedation during a dental procedure, we meticulously monitor that patient’s vital signs. We’ll take every step to make sure you are comfortable, relaxed, and above all, safe during each step of the dental process. If you would like to learn more about sedation dentistry, contact our Santa Clarita-area dentists to schedule a consultation.
Root Canal Therapy
Each tooth contains a hollow central chamber that houses soft tissue that is sometimes referred to as dental pulp. A tooth receives nutrients through the nerves and blood vessels that lead into the pulp chamber. In some instances, a cavity or serious dental injury may lead to the infection or inflammation of the dental pulp, often resulting in severe pain. If untreated, a patient may lose the affected tooth. We perform root canal therapy to treat the infection and save the tooth from extraction. During treatment, the affected pulp is removed from the tooth and the pulp chamber is filled with a safe, inert material.
Tooth Extractions (Including Wisdom Teeth)
There are some cases — such as when a tooth’s root is damaged beyond repair or when a patient has wisdom teeth that are impacting his or her own teeth — in which a tooth extraction is required to ensure the health and function of your mouth. We may also perform a tooth extraction as preparation for another dental procedure such as dental implants, implant-supported dental appliances, or dentures.
Wisdom teeth are an issue for most people in their teens and twenties. There just isn’t room in their mouths for these teeth. Often these extractions are beyond the scope of most dental offices, but here at Artistic Smiles Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we do these extractions on a routine basis, saving our patients the need of going to another practitioner, such as an oral surgeon.
Dentures with Invisible Clasps and Overdentures
Patients who are missing several teeth or even all of their teeth experience a number of problems related to bite strength, chewing, speech, and facial aesthetics. Dentures are an excellent way of treating those problems and restoring the function and appearance of your mouth. At Artistic Smiles Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer dentures that are held in place by metal clasps or tooth-colored clasps, the latter contributing to a more natural appearance. If a patient is eligible, we can also provide completely invisible clasps, also referred to as overdentures. Overdentures snap into place, so they are much firmer and retentive compared to traditional dentures. When you visit our office for a consultation, we will determine which type of denture is best suited to fit your needs.
Headache Treatments
Headaches affect millions of people each day. Headaches may range from mild to severely debilitating, sometimes forcing an individual to stay home. Thankfully, there are many solutions available, including solutions for those who suffer from migraine headaches. One such solution for severe headaches is a specially designed dental appliance called an NTI. The NTI is used extensively in our office because of the tremendous headache relief it has provided for so many of our patients. It has proven so successful in treating regular headaches as well as migraines that it has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Full Breath Breathing Solution — A CPAP Alternative
We are a "Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment Center."
Do you and your spouse sleep in separate bedrooms? Were you diagnosed with OSA, told you need to wear a CPAP machine but can't tolerate one? Our FDA-approved and patented appliance might be just the answer for you. We have had tremendous success and, because of the diagnostic equipment developed at Harvard that we use, we can tell before you commit to treatment whether our appliance can help you. Call for an appointment today and see if we can help you get a quiet night's sleep.
Routine Dental Visits
Regular visits to the dentist are important if you want to maintain the health of your mouth. When you visit Artistic Smiles Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we will check your teeth, take x-rays, examine the health of your jawbone and other facial structures related to oral health, check for oral cancer, help treat headaches, look for cavities and other potential dental problems, and discuss ways you can improve your smile. Each visit will take into account your dental and medical history, age, and any previous dental work, all important factors in determining the best way of maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile.
