Fixed teeth, planned from a scan.
Implants, full arches and the restorative work around them, planned on a cone beam CT scan before a single appointment for surgery is booked.
What brings you in
Most people arrive with one of three questions: what replaces a tooth that is gone, what saves one that is damaged, what changes a smile where nothing is wrong. Replacement is the work Dr. Moradian does most.
Dental Implants
A titanium post that replaces the root, and a crown on top of it that replaces the tooth.Dental Bridges
A filler tooth carried by crowns on the teeth either side of the gap.Dentures
A removable set of teeth for a whole arch, or for the run of teeth that is missing.Full-arch replacement
A fixed set of teeth carried on four to six implants per arch, planned on the scan before surgery.Dental Crown
A cap over the whole tooth, for when the surface is a problem but the root is healthy.Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers, inlays, bonding and whitening, chosen for the specific thing you want changed.
Why patients drive across the bay for this
The scan comes first
A cone beam CT scan shows a 3D image of your jaw. Where the bone can carry an implant, and where it cannot, is settled before surgery is scheduled.
One dentist, start to finish
The consult, the surgery and the crown or arch that goes on top are all Dr. Moradian’s work. Nothing is handed down a referral chain.
Options in plain language
Every option is set against what you want, what your bite needs and what you can spend, and explained before anything is agreed.

Laser dentistry
A gentler touch.
From scan to fitted teeth
Four steps, and the one thing each of them turns on. The months between placement and the finished teeth are the bone healing, not a waiting list.
Scan
The jaw is imaged before anything is scheduled, so the plan is built on your anatomy rather than an average one.
- Cone beam CT, a 3D image of your jaw’s anatomy
Plan
Implant positions, the number of them, and what sits on top are decided on that image, with the gums treated first if they need it.
- A model of the arch, checked in the hand before the mouth
Placement
Titanium posts go into the bone where the plan put them, and the bone grows around them over the months that follow.
- Local anesthetic, given before any work starts
Fitted teeth
A crown on a single implant, or a fixed arch on four to six, made to the shape and shade the plan set.
- A lab brief naming exactly what the restoration should look like

Questions
Why does an implant plan start with a scan?
A cone beam CT scan is a type of computerized tomography that shows a 3D image of your jaw’s anatomy. It shows where the bone can hold a fixture and where it cannot, which makes placement more predictable and settles the plan before any surgery is scheduled.
How many implants hold a full arch of teeth?
A fixed arch is carried on four to six implants rather than one implant per tooth. How many, and where each one goes, is decided on the scan and on the bone that is actually there.
Can a damaged tooth be saved instead of pulled?
Often, yes. A root canal removes the inflamed nerve from inside a tooth so the tooth itself can stay, and a crown caps the whole tooth when the surface is the problem but the root is healthy. Extraction is the last resort, for a tooth that cannot be saved, and it comes with a plan for what replaces it.
What happens if a tooth breaks today?
Ask for an emergency appointment on the consult form. Emergency care covers a tooth that breaks, comes out, or hurts in a way that will not wait until the next routine visit.
Where does Great Dentist see patients?
Tampa Bay. Patients come from Tampa and from across Pinellas County, including Clearwater, Largo, Seminole, St. Petersburg and the beach towns.
