ABOUT US

We were recently named one of Sacramento Magazine's Top Dentists of 2018!

Since Dr. Mahnaz Moussavi, DDS, first established Summit Dental in September 1997, she and her team have provided quality care to the greater Sacramento area.  Her practice focuses on preventative care for the entire family, including children. Dr. Moussavi feels strongly that by diagnosing and treating any problems early, major intervention can often be avoided. She is conservative in her treatments, and is always happy to work with her patients to design a treatment plan that fits with their schedule and budget. 

In addition to preventative care, Dr. Moussavi is a preferred provider for Invisalign. She has been certified in Invisalign since 2003, and has helped many adults and teenagers achieve their perfect smile.

  

Dr. Moussavi additionally trained in UCLA's Cosmetic Dentistry program and has provided cosmetic treatment to many of her patients since 1999. 

Dr. Moussavi also completed a General Practice Residency at University of Pittsburgh's Montefiore Hospital, with an emphasis in Oral Surgery. Thus, she is especially skilled in extracting impacted wisdom teeth, removing thousands of them thus far.

Finally, Dr. Moussavi is certified to do Implant Surgery and Restorations from Nobel Biocare. She has restored many implants in her office. 

Dr. Moussavi prides herself on providing a very hygienic and comfortable environment to treat her patients.

OUR SERVICES

Dental Hygiene & Exams

 

Comprehensive examination of teeth and soft tissue​ (gums & oral mucosa), including oral cancer screening. X-Rays are taken at the first visit to evaluate oral health, and as needed at following vists.

Composite Fillings

 

Dr. Moussavi aims to restore teeth in a comprehensive and conservative manner. She primarily uses composite fillings that are bonded to the teeth and preserve 90% of the strength of the natural tooth.

Implant Dentistry

 

Dr. Moussavi completed the Implant Surgery program to gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of implant dentistry. She focuses on the restoration of the implants, and refers her patients for the surgery portion to the best-trained implant surgeons in Sacramento. As implant surgery can be difficult to correct if not done properly, she wants to ensure her patients receive the best care possible from the start.

Crowns

 

Dr. Moussavi primarily uses porcelain crowns bonded to the tooth structure, which are superior both aesthetically and functionally to traditional crowns. Crowns are considered a major procedure, and are only done when the natural tooth structure is not sufficient to withhold the mastication forces and the tooth cannot be restored by other means.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an revolutionary orthodontic technology that replaces traditional metal braces with clear, removable aligners. It can straighten teeth and treat crowding, crossbite, spacing,  and bite issues.

Teeth Whitening

 

Dr. Moussavi offers in-house and at-home teeth whitening. She uses Ultradent's Opalescence Tooth Whitening System and ensure patients' teeth are healthy enough for the whitening process.

Veneers 

 

Veneers are thin layers of a cosmetically appealing porcelain that bind to the outer surface of the tooth structure. They improve the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or fractured teeth. We can also correct minimally misaligned teeth with veneers when orthodontics is not required.

Gum Disease

 

Gums and bone also require care to ensure their strength as the foundation of oral health. Unhealthy gums cause bone loss, systemic disease, bad breath, and a very unpleasant smile. With routine cleaning, we prevent gum disease. We also offer deep cleaning and scaling to restore the health of patients' gums, and provide referrals to excellent periodontists for more severe cases.

Root Canals 

Although Dr. Moussavi aims to avoid the need for root canals, when disease reaches the nerve, they become necessary. We use the leading technology, Apex Locator, in our office to measure the length of the canals, and clean and open the canals using Dentsply's WaveOne technology.

Dentures & Partials

We offer full dentures, partial dentures, and over dentures (implant-supporting dentures) that look like natural teeth.
