"I initially came to see Dr. Fallah because my teeth were aging... yellowing... chipped. I absolutely love my new smile. What I didn't expect was to get a mini-face lift out of it. Like a total rejuvenation of my face...
Everybody that sees me thinks I've had a face lift."

George Washington's dentures - were not wooden but were made from gold, ivory, lead, human and animal teeth (horse and donkey teeth were common denture components). The dentures had springs to help them open and bolts to hold them together.

Humnankind has been struggling with the replacement of decaying or lost teeth for literally thousands of years. Ivory or bone replacements for lost teeth date back to 700 B.C.
While improved dental care has caused a decline in tooth loss in recent years, it is predicted that the number of patients requiring dentures will actually increase with the advancing age of the large "baby boomer" generation.
Modern dentistry and availability of vastly improved materials have made great headway in providing dentures that are more functional and better appearing.
Still, there are denture patients whose teeth are obviously dentures - unnaturally even teeth or sometimes the "Popeye" look - and who struggle with functional problems such as difficulty in chewing tough foods and speech interference.
People with dentures commonly report discomfort or even associated pain as well as dissatisfaction with their appearances.

When you or your Teen want straight teeth without the embarrassment of metal braces – it is possible with Invisalign (nearly invisible braces).
Invisalign (invisible orthodontics) is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of transparent, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires.
Dr. Fallah uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made, clear "aligners" are produced. Each "aligner" moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.

Advantages of Invisalign:
Invisalign is plastic, clear, nearly invisible.
You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
Invisalign is removable.
Unlike braces at the orthodontist, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
Invisalign is comfortable.
There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the doctor's chair getting adjustments.
Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start
so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.
Aligners look similar to tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth. Some orthodontists and dentists have referred to them as "contact lenses for teeth."
The new Invisalign Teen system is now available from Dr. Fallah - your San Diego Invisalign cosmetic dentist.

A whole lot of reasons to say cheese! Invisalign is a FDA-cleared orthodontic treatment - chosen by nearly one million patients worldwide.

Dr. Fallah uses CEREC technology for many repairs and restorations of teeth - such as replacing whole teeth, fixing and filling cavities, and also for porcelain crowns.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.
This state-of-the-art CEREC CAD CAM technology is used in Dr. Fallah's Carlsbad dental office and allows Dr. Fallah to provide his patients top of the line, natural-looking, and fast ceramic restorations.
The in-house CEREC computer assisted restoration procedures can be completed in only one visit in most cases, and are often referred to as One Visit Crowns or One Day Crowns.

Exactly how does the CEREC process work?

1. Dr. Fallah prepares your tooth for the restoration simply by putting a coating of white powder over it.
This tooth preparation is done in a matter of seconds rather than minutes, and you do not have to endure the old messy impression material
dripping in your mouth.


2. Dr. Fallah then captures 3-D digital impressions with CEREC AC Blue Cam which uploads the information to a computer.


Once the image of the damaged area is loaded, CEREC software automatically designs the shape of the restoration.


The model created is refined and refinished by Dr. Fallah, using 3-D software and this information is sent electronically to a milling machine in the office.


3. This machine creates your repair or restoration out of a block of ceramic or composite.
The cutting and shaping of crowns is completed by computer-controlled diamond head cutters.


Once completed, it is simply fitted and then placed in your mouth all within one convenient visit - one office, one appointment, one day.
