Great Dentist

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.

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.

The tools behind the plan

Three of them, and what each one changes for you in the chair.

  • 01Digital imaging

    Digital X-rays

    Detailed, and right away.

  • 02Diagnostic support

    AI-assisted diagnosis

    A second set of eyes.

  • 03Gentle treatment

    Laser dentistry

    A gentler touch.

01Digital imaging

Digital X-rays

A sensor replaces the film, so the image is on the screen the moment it is taken. There is no developing and no second visit to see it, and the dose is lower than film asked for. The picture goes up next to you, and what it shows is pointed out as you look at it.

  1. 01The image appears in seconds, during the same appointment.
  2. 02A lower radiation dose than the film it replaced.
  3. 03Shown on screen beside you, not described afterwards.
02Diagnostic support

AI-assisted diagnosis

Software reads the same x-ray Dr. Moradian does and marks the areas worth a closer look. It decides nothing. It catches what a tired eye at the end of a long day can pass over, and every mark is checked by the dentist before it is ever called a finding.

  1. 01The software marks areas on the image for review.
  2. 02Dr. Moradian reads the image himself and confirms or clears each mark.
  3. 03You see the marks too, on the same screen.
03Gentle treatment

Laser dentistry

For the soft tissue work around implants and crowns, a dental laser does what a blade used to. It shapes the gum precisely, seals as it works, and leaves less bleeding behind, so the site is calmer on the day and settles faster in the week after.

  1. 01Precise shaping of gum tissue around a crown or an implant.
  2. 02Less bleeding during the appointment.
  3. 03A smaller, calmer site to heal afterwards.

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.

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.

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.

A look at the teeth and gums you have, a scan when implants are on the table, and the options laid out in plain language before anything is booked.
