Dr. Saj Jivraj Specialist in Cosmetic Dentistry
British Native Dr. Saj Jivraj is an award-winning specialist in Prosthodontics, which is the branch of dentistry dedicated to complex cosmetic and restorative procedures. Chances are you will be referred to a prosthodontist if you are in need of extensive dental treatment, but many people come to see Dr. Jivraj for routine dental work as well.
For people in need of crowns, dental implants, dentures or veneers, there is no substitute for getting the work done right the first time. Getting a smile makeover can be a once in a lifetime opportunity and Dr. Jivraj takes the time to make sure you get a smile that can last you a lifetime.
Less than 2% of dentists in the United States have completed the additional three years of college required to become a Prosthodontist, and Dr. Jivraj is unique even by the standards of the American College of Prosthodontists. In adition to treating thousands of cosmetic and restorative patients, Dr. Jivraj "wrote the book" on implant dentistry. He is the co-author of a textbook entitled “Treatment Planning in Implant Dentistry”, which is used in the United States and abroad by dental students, dentists and specialists alike. Dr. Jivraj also holds a teaching position for the graduating class of Prodthodontists at USC School of Dentistry.
So what do these credentials mean for you? It means that when you come to the Ancadap Dental Art Institute, you are placing yourself in the best possible hands to evaluate your dental needs. Dr. Jivraj regularly partners with other dental specialists, such as oral surgeons, when the need arises, but he himself will design your treatment plan and personally do all aspects of your cosmetic restorations to ensure they achieve the lasting beauty and function that you want.
Relaxation Dentistry = Painlesss Treatment
Many people have fears or anxiety connected with going to the dentist. And if you konw you may need to have a fair amount of work done, it only makes the problem worse. We are pleased to offer Sedation Dentistry (also known as Relaxation Dentistry) as an option for patients who prefer to sleep through their dental work and avoid any pain and fears associated with the process.
Sedation Dentistry provides several options depending on how much treatment you need done. As an example, you could come to our office early in the morning and have a series of implants or crowns placed before lunch. Such work might ordinarily require 2-3 visits, but with the sedation we can get everything completed that much faster. It also ensures you will not experience any pain during the procedures.
