A Primer on All-on-X Dental Implants

Routine cleanings at Mission Hills Dental are not just about polishing your teeth—they’re a critical part of early detection and personalized care, guided by the experience and insight of Dr. Arash Razi. With over 16 years of clinical practice and a strong educational foundation from New York University and post-residency training at UCLA Harbor Medical Center, Dr. Razi offers a depth of knowledge in both preventive and restorative dentistry.

During regular cleanings, Dr. Razi and his team do much more than remove plaque and tartar. Each visit includes a thorough oral examination using advanced diagnostic tools like digital imaging and 3D intraoral scanning. This allows for early identification of subtle changes that could indicate cavities, gum disease, or enamel erosion—even before symptoms appear.

One of Dr. Razi’s strengths is his ability to recognize the smallest signs of concern and act before they evolve into larger, costlier problems. Whether it’s a microscopic crack in a tooth or early inflammation along the gumline, these issues are often uncovered during routine cleanings. Patients from Granada Hills, Sylmar, and San Fernando appreciate his attention to detail and the clear explanations he provides when outlining treatment options.

Thanks to his background in full-mouth rehabilitation, cosmetic dentistry, and Invisalign, Dr. Razi uses cleanings as opportunities to guide patients toward long-term solutions. His compassionate and approachable manner helps patients of all ages understand their oral health status and make informed decisions.

Dr. Razi also takes time to customize hygiene recommendations, offering targeted advice based on each patient’s unique dental profile. His modern approach, combined with the use of digital tools and intraoral imaging, ensures patients leave not only with cleaner teeth but also with greater confidence in their oral health.

A dental cleaning at Mission Hills Dental is far more than a basic procedure—it’s a proactive step toward maintaining your health with the guidance of a trusted, highly trained expert. Let Dr. Razi help you uncover and address issues early, before they affect your smile.
