Comprehensive Dentistry

At My Smile Artist, comprehensive dentistry is an art form: a fusion of science and attention to detail. Dr. Imam’s cosmetic talents blend with general dental treatments to give patients the ultimate quality smile. Each examination, dental cleaning, or cavity filling is intricate and precise.

Here, patients don’t just receive dental care, they indulge in an exclusive experience where every aspect of their well-being is considered.

Comprehensive Dental Services

Our quality comprehensive dental treatments can nurture, restore, and uplift patients’ smiles. My Smile Artist only offers treatments that deliver exceptional and long-lasting results.

We believe in addressing the root causes of dental issues to promote long-term oral health and prevent future concerns. Your journey to optimal dental health begins here.

Mercury-Free Fillings

Mercury-free dentistry is important to many people who are concerned about the relationship between their oral health and total well-being. In San Antonio, Dr. Imam understands these concerns and provides mercury-free alternatives to silver amalgam fillings.

Avoiding the look of metal teeth isn’t the only reason to prioritize mercury-free fillings. Mercury-free composite fillings have several advantages:

• Stronger Teeth: Although amalgam fillings are stronger than composite, they weaken teeth and increase the risk of fracture. Mercury-free composite fillings bond to teeth and strengthen them.
• Seamless Appearance: Mercury-free fillings are made out of materials that mimic tooth appearance. A shade of composite is chosen to closely match your current natural teeth.
• No Temperature Sensitivity: Unlike amalgam fillings that contain metal and conduct heat and cold, composite insulates your teeth and limits sensitivity.
• Gentler Treatment: Less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed in preparation for composite fillings.

The photos below show how old amalgam fillings can separate from teeth and weaken them. The fillings were replaced with composite, which bonds to teeth and looks natural.

Dr. Imam is a cosmetic dentist who regularly participates in continuing education to stay current with advanced techniques that promote good oral health and aesthetics. If you have amalgam fillings that you want to get replaced with composite, Dr. Imam has the skills and capacity to prevent mercury exposure in the rest of your mouth with the technology we use in the office. Our amalgam separator collects all particles during the procedure, so we can guarantee the safe removal of any amalgam.

Dental Cleanings

Part of keeping a pristine mouth is regular dental cleanings. At My Smile Artist, our advanced intraoral cameras and digital x-rays play a vital role in cleaning services, allowing us to care for restorations and cosmetic upgrades right alongside the natural teeth.

Our hygienists are meticulous as they clear away plaque and tartar buildup, floss, and polish teeth to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and plaque, which in turn prevents cavities, gum disease, and other infections. Each step of the process is designed to provide our patients with an immaculate and healthy smile.

All-Inclusive Exams

At My Smile Artist, we provide our patients with the quality of treatment they expect. Our exams have everything needed to ensure a perfect smile. We examine both the superficial and the underlying structures of your oral health.

Each new patient is treated to a 90-minute appointment consisting of the following:

• • Tour of Our Office: Walk through our beautiful workspace and clinic rooms, meet members of our team, and see some of the dental technology that makes our precision work possible.

• One-on-One Conversation with Dr. Imam: Meet with our esteemed dentist who will be making your smile the best it can be. He’ll get to know you, your oral health history, and your smile priorities to better plan your dental treatments. Dr. Imam’s meticulous approach to dental exams is backed by his KOIS training, equipping him with the insight to comprehensively address any underlying dental issues.

• X-rays: Get up-to-date x-rays of your teeth, so we can get a clearer picture of what is going on underneath the surface and address any issues accordingly. Because we strive to offer only the highest quality of service, we use digital x-rays to make the process more efficient, comfortable, and informative.

• Dental Scans and Photos: Smile for the camera as we use the latest technology, including iTero and 3Shape scanners to get detailed digital scans of your tooth alignment and provide comprehensive evaluations of your oral health.

• Treatment Recommendations: Dr. Imam will personally evaluate your oral health condition, using his trained eyes to find hints of cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer. After performing a dental exam and evaluating all your smile images, Dr. Imam will provide his recommendations with a customized touch. You will receive diagnoses, advice, and suggestions to make your smile look and feel even better.

After your initial appointment, your following visits will be shorter without the office tour and other onboarding necessities. You will continue to receive the same high-quality care and personal interactions every time you step into our office, as well as personal one-on-one consultations with Dr. Imam anytime you need any dental treatments.

Holistic Dentistry

When creating any masterpiece, an artist has to look at the subject as a whole. The same is true for dentistry, especially here at My Smile Artist. Each patient that crosses our threshold is a new combination of facial features, health conditions, and desires.

Part of our commitment to delivering quality treatment is holistic dentistry; we strive to take everything into account when prescribing any kind of treatment. When approaching a new patient, whether for cosmetic treatments or a simple dental cleaning, Dr. Imam takes the time to understand what the patient is looking for, how they’re feeling emotionally, and what their physical condition is.

Sedation Dentistry and Patient Comfort

At My Smile Artist, our patients’ needs determine the course of treatment. This includes emotional and psychological needs. We cater each appointment, even those as straightforward as dental cleanings, to the patient. To do this we use sedation dentistry and other patient-comfort techniques and amenities.

Technologically Advanced Treatment

My Smile Artist uses only the highest quality techniques and treatments for our esteemed patients. Our office is fully outfitted with the latest advanced dental tools and technologies so we can offer our patients remarkably customized and high-quality services.

Digital Smile Design

Digital Smile Design allows for the meticulous planning and simulation of smile makeovers before any physical work begins. This technology enables dentists to analyze a patient’s facial and dental structures using photographs, videos, and digital scans.

Dr. Imam leverages this software to create a harmonious smile that aligns with the patient’s facial features, ensuring outcomes that are aesthetically pleasing and also complementary to the patient’s overall appearance. This collaborative process between dentist and patient guarantees satisfaction with the final smile.

SmileFy

SmileFy is an innovative dental technology that enhances the smile design process, enabling the creation of precise and personalized treatment plans. Utilizing advanced algorithms and 3D simulations, SmileFy allows Dr. Imam to visualize and adjust the anticipated results of cosmetic procedures.

This tool empowers patients to see their future smiles, facilitating a deeper understanding and agreement on the treatment objectives. SmileFy is instrumental in crafting smiles that are both beautiful and functional, tailored specifically to meet the unique desires of each patient.

Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral cameras are a cornerstone of modern dental diagnostics, providing detailed, high-resolution images of the inside of a patient’s mouth. This small, handheld device allows Dr. Imam to show patients exactly what he sees, enhancing patient communication and education.

Intraoral cameras can detect early signs of dental issues that might not be visible to the naked eye, making them invaluable in preventive care. They also aid in accurately documenting dental conditions and treatment progress, ensuring a comprehensive approach to oral health.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays mark a significant advancement in dental radiography, offering clearer, more detailed images while exposing patients to significantly less radiation compared to traditional x-ray techniques.

Dr. Imam utilizes digital x-rays to diagnose and plan treatments with greater accuracy and efficiency. These images can be instantly viewed and enlarged, helping to identify problems such as tooth decay, bone loss, and root canal issues early on. Digital x-rays are essential for a thorough dental examination, contributing to more effective and targeted treatments.

Scanners

Dental scanners, including iTero and 3Shape, revolutionize how dental impressions are taken, replacing the uncomfortable and messy traditional methods. These scanners capture accurate 3D images of a patient’s teeth and gums in minutes.

Dr. Imam uses these detailed digital models to design and fabricate dental restorations, orthodontic aligners, and more with unmatched precision. The use of scanners not only enhances patient comfort but also significantly reduces turnaround times for custom dental solutions, ensuring a perfect fit and exceptional results.
