Routine dental procedures are the foundation of a healthy, confident smile. At Infinite Dental Wellness in Glendale, CA, Dr. Leon Kiraj and Dr. Liana Muradyan, a USC-trained husband-and-wife team, provide friendly, gentle, and modern care designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy for life. Most of the dentistry we perform falls into the category of routine, preventive, and restorative care, the everyday treatments that catch small problems before they become big ones and that keep your mouth comfortable and your smile bright. The beauty of routine dentistry is that it is predictable, affordable, and highly effective. When you stay on a consistent schedule of cleanings, exams, and minor restorations, you dramatically reduce your risk of needing extensive and costly treatment later.
This page walks you through the routine dental procedures we perform most often, what each one involves, who benefits from it, and what to expect during and after your visit. If you have a question about any of these services, or you are ready to schedule, call us at (818) 541-1110. We see patients of all ages, offer same-day emergency appointments, and accept all PPO dental insurance plans.
What Counts as a Routine Dental Procedure?
A routine dental procedure is any standard, commonly performed treatment that supports or restores your oral health. These procedures are the backbone of general dentistry and include both preventive care, which stops problems from forming, and restorative care, which repairs damage that has already occurred. Because they are performed so frequently, our team has refined every step to be quick, comfortable, and efficient. Routine care is also the most budget-friendly dentistry you can invest in, since preventing a cavity costs far less than treating one and protecting a tooth costs far less than replacing it.
Below are the routine dental procedures we perform on a regular basis at our Glendale office.
Professional Teeth Cleanings
If you want to prevent cavities, you need to keep your teeth clean. Daily brushing and flossing are an important part of keeping your teeth and gums healthy, but it can be difficult to reach every area of your mouth on your own. This is why you need to visit the dentist for a professional teeth cleaning twice a year. During a cleaning, we remove the plaque and hardened tartar that has formed on your teeth, in between them, and along the gum line. This is not just important for preventing cavities, it also prevents gum disease, which typically results from plaque becoming trapped under the gums.
A professional cleaning, also called a dental prophylaxis, also lets us polish away surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth and fresh. Our staff is gentle, and we are confident you will have a pleasant experience. Pairing your cleaning with a routine exam means we can spot early decay, cracks, or gum changes while they are still easy to address. To schedule your appointment, call (818) 541-1110.
Deep Cleanings for Gum Health
When plaque and tartar build up below the gum line, a standard cleaning is not enough, and gum disease creates the need for a deep cleaning. A deep cleaning, known clinically as scaling and root planing, removes the plaque and tartar that have accumulated underneath the gums and smooths the root surfaces so the gum tissue can reattach. Once the procedure is complete, your gums will begin to feel better, look healthier, and bleed less. Deep cleanings are often performed over one or two visits, and we keep you comfortable throughout with gentle technique and, when needed, local numbing.
Signs you may need a deep cleaning include gums that bleed when you brush, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or teeth that feel slightly loose. Treating gum disease early protects not only your teeth but your overall health, since gum inflammation is linked to other conditions throughout the body.
Fluoride Treatments
In addition to keeping your teeth clean, we can also strengthen them. When you eat and drink, you can gradually strip away your enamel. Acidic foods and drinks like soda have a low pH level and can dissolve the minerals in your teeth. Cola products, for example, have a pH level closer to battery acid than to water. Over time, this means your teeth can become weaker and more susceptible to decay and damage. To combat this, you need to strengthen them, and a fluoride treatment is one of the easiest ways to do so.
We can apply fluoride to your teeth in a matter of minutes. There is no irritation, and this mineral strengthens enamel enough to reduce the risk of cavities by about 30 percent. Fluoride treatments are especially valuable for children, for patients prone to cavities, and for anyone who experiences dry mouth or sensitivity. If you live in Glendale, we encourage you to ask about a fluoride treatment at your next cleaning.
Dental Sealants
Another of our routine dental procedures is applying dental sealant. This is a clear, plastic-like material that is gently brushed onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth. At Infinite Dental Wellness, we recommend sealants for people who have deep ridges and grooves on their molars. Some people are born with teeth shaped this way, while others develop deeper ridges over time. The challenge is that deep grooves easily trap food and are difficult to clean, so plaque forms and the acid it produces can cause decay.
The best way to combat this is to seal the grooves so nothing can become trapped there. We can do so in only a couple of minutes per tooth, which makes the procedure quick, easy, affordable, and an excellent way to reduce the risk of cavities. Sealants are especially common for children and teenagers as their permanent molars come in, but adults with deep grooves and no decay can benefit as well.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is an incredibly popular procedure for our patients because it provides a fast and affordable way to improve the appearance of teeth. It is perfectly natural for teeth to become dull, yellow, or stained with age. If you smoke or drink a lot of red wine, coffee, or tea, your teeth can become yellow much faster. As a result, we regularly whiten teeth for people in their early twenties on up. The procedure works because the whitening solution is placed on the teeth, where it penetrates the enamel and begins the process of oxidization, changing the molecules inside the teeth so they reflect less stain and your smile appears bright and white.
Professional whitening is far more powerful than store-bought kits and is supervised for safety and comfort. If you have an important event coming up, call (818) 541-1110 to schedule an appointment and discuss this procedure in further detail.
Dental Bonding
When it comes to routine dental procedures, dental bonding is one of the most widely used solutions for improving the appearance of teeth and restoring damaged ones. At Infinite Dental Wellness, we use tooth-colored bonding material to restore a tooth that has been cracked or chipped in an accident. We can also use it to close gaps between teeth, change the shape of teeth, cover dark stains, and improve a tooth's overall appearance. As an added benefit, we can complete the bonding procedure in a single visit.
After selecting the right shade to match your natural teeth, we prepare the tooth by gently roughening the surface, apply the bonding material, sculpt it into place, and harden it with a curing light. By the time you are ready to leave, you will have a fully restored, naturally beautiful tooth. Bonding requires very little removal of natural tooth structure, which makes it a conservative and comfortable choice.
Dental Crowns
If you have suffered extensive damage to a tooth or are missing a large amount of enamel due to decay or infection, you may need a dental crown. This is a more extensive restoration because a crown is a cap that surrounds your tooth entirely, protecting and strengthening it. Crowns can be made of tooth-colored resin or porcelain so they appear perfectly natural, which makes it possible to use them on either a front tooth or a back molar.
Out of all our routine dental procedures, a crown is typically used to restore a tooth that has been cracked, chipped, severely decayed, or treated with a root canal and cannot be repaired with a veneer or bonding alone. A crown restores the tooth's full strength and function so you can chew comfortably again. We also use crowns and bridges to help replace missing teeth, rebuilding both the look and function of your smile.
Why Routine and Preventive Care Matters
Preventive dental care is so important because nearly every serious dental problem starts small. A tiny area of decay caught at a checkup can be treated with a quick filling, but the same spot left untreated can grow into an infection that requires a crown or root canal. Routine visits also let us screen for gum disease and other oral health concerns early. Between visits, you can protect your teeth at home by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, limiting sugary and acidic drinks, and staying hydrated. Restorative dentistry, by contrast, is the branch focused on repairing or replacing damaged and missing teeth with treatments like fillings, bonding, crowns, bridges, and dentures, and it is most effective when combined with strong preventive habits.
