Why the New Patient Exam Matters
More than just a check-up
It gives Dr. Sumar the full picture of your dental health, from your teeth and gums to how your bite and jaw work together. With this information, we can identify concerns early and recommend the most effective solutions.
Analyzing your unique needs
Every patient’s smile is one of a kind. The New Patient Examination ensures we build a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs, helping you move forward with confidence on your dental health journey.
The Vivid Approach
Why seeing a specialist matters
At Vivid Specialized Dentistry, your care is guided by Dr. Arif Sumar, a board-certified Prosthodontist. Prosthodontists are dental specialists with advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth, which means you’ll benefit from a highly trained perspective on both function and aesthetics.
Understanding the bigger picture
Dr. Sumar’s expertise ensures that every recommendation is based on a complete understanding of your oral health, your bite, and your long-term goals. His approach is focused on precision, clarity, and creating treatment plans that are realistic, effective, and built to last.
BEYOND AESTHETICS
The Importance of Care
Hygiene Instructions for Lasting Results
Whether you opt for crowns or veneers, the care you provide is crucial. Daily brushing and flossing, especially around the margins, will prevent gum disease and decay. To safeguard your investment, we recommend professional cleanings and examinations every six months to ensure the health and durability of your restorations.
