When patients come to us with questions, we’re expected to be able to provide clear, concise answers. As professionals in the field of dentistry, we are pleased to be the go-to experts for dental questions our patients have. We will continue to expand our knowledge, skillsets, and capabilities to ensure everyone who entrusts us with their smiles receives the answers needed to make the right decisions about their oral health. To help prospective patients like yourself become more familiar with us and our knowledge base, we invite you to review the frequently asked dental questions and answers below.
Yes, it is important that you see a dentist every six months to avoid tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. They’ll also check for any damage that might put your smile at risk of further deterioration. It is these visits that make it possible to detect issues early on and deliver timely care that minimizes the potential for worsening symptoms and overall health.
The process of an actual root canal should not cause any pain. Because the discomfort you feel is from the infected or damaged pulp that is being removed, you will actually feel relief after it is complete. However, immediately following your procedure, you are likely to feel some soreness but can be remedied with the help of over-the-counter pain medications.
Yes, we are pleased to offer sleep apnea therapy for individuals who are suffering from a lack of sleep and the inability to breathe freely throughout the night. After a formal sleep study and diagnosis, which are performed under the direction of a local physician, we can provide oral appliance therapy (OAT) that will serve to improve your sleep-breathing patterns and improve your quality of life. Based on the severity of your sleep apnea, we can discuss the effectiveness of OAT and how you can begin to see a noticeable difference in the way you breathe and sleep throughout the night.
Yes, Dr. Ashraghi and our team are happy to see young patients and offer kid-friendly dental services that are designed to prevent tooth decay and cavities at an early age. We will not only administer regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings but also deliver helpful tips that can be used at home to improve oral hygiene and help your little one get excited about brushing and flossing.
If a dental emergency should arise, the first thing you need to do is call our Burke dental office. We will work quickly to identify the severity of the problem before scheduling an appointment for you to come in right away if possible. We’ll do our best to alleviate any pain as fast as possible before developing a treatment plan to address the underlying cause.
Yes, we are in-network with most PPO dental insurance companies, so we are happy to welcome your plan. We’ll even work with you to identify ways to get the most out of your benefits so that you save more each time you visit our office.
Really happy with the care I received at this practice! Dr. Ashraghi is very knowledgeable about her craft and precise in her clinical diagnosis and treatment. I didn't need any numbing for a recent procedure thanks to her incredible hand skills. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a passionate and skilled dentist!

I over the years we’ve had different dentists, some good and some okay, but this one is the best . They provide an outstanding service, they work with your schedule, they are not crazy with any fees, and they make sure you don’t miss your appointment (they email you in advance, then they text you and give you a courtesy call the day before). We are super happy with this dental clinic and with the doctor, she is so nice .

Dr. Ashraghi and staff are lovely! It’s nerve racking to go the dentist but it’s such a welcoming environment, tbe whole team put you at ease. Dr. Ashraghi prioritizes pain management. I had tough dental work done but not once did I experience pain in the process.

100% recommend. I needed extensive dental work done by a dentist I could trust and who cares. Dr. Ashraghi is the best! I was fortunate to find her. Very experienced. She put together a solid treatment plan that worked for me. She was incredibly patient in answering all of my questions. Now, I can truly smile. I feel decades younger and my friends and family agree!
