Most people assume Invisalign starts when the trays show up. It doesn't.
It starts with a conversation — what bothers you when you smile, what you avoid in photos, what you'd change if you knew it was actually possible. Those questions matter more than most patients expect. They shape the direction of the case before any clinical decisions are made.
From there, a digital scan captures a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes. No impression material, no gagging — that part of dentistry is behind us. And before treatment begins, before a single tray is made, you can see how your teeth are going to move. The simulation shows you the full sequence. You're watching the plan, not trusting a description of it.
One consultation. One scan. A clear picture of what's possible for your specific case.
If Invisalign has been on your mind but you haven't known where to start, that's where we start. Book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills.

The before photo shows a guarded smile. The reason sits in one small spot: a black triangle — the dark space that opens between two teeth near the gum line when the gum tissue doesn't fill the gap. Here, it sat between the two front teeth. Small enough that most people never name it. Visible enough that the person who has it sees it constantly.

Closing it took two treatments planned as one design. A laser recontoured the gum tissue, and porcelain veneers reshaped the teeth to meet closer to the gum line — closing the space while refining shade and shape at the same time. The full result was checked as a wearable 3D-printed mockup and approved before any tooth was prepared, because preparing a tooth removes a small amount of enamel permanently.

Look at the after photo. The smile isn't just different — it's given differently. That's what patients describe most in the months that follow.

If something small in your own smile has that kind of hold on you, book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills and we'll take a look at what's actually going on.

Pulling a tooth solves one problem. What most patients don't find out until later is that it creates another.
When a tooth comes out, the bone around it begins to shrink — immediately. The root is what signals the jaw to maintain bone volume. Without it, the jaw resorbs, slowly and steadily, and the gum follows. By the time a patient decides they want an implant, the site available to work with is not the site that existed at the time of extraction. Less bone means fewer options and higher complexity.
The extraction isn't the mistake. The timing of the conversation is.
A socket preservation graft placed at the same appointment maintains the bone volume the site will need for an implant later. It doesn't extend the procedure significantly. It doesn't require a separate visit. And the difference it makes to what's possible six months from now is considerable.
The tooth may not be saveable. The site can be.
If you're facing an extraction — or have been told you need one — that's the moment to ask what comes next. Book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills before the appointment, not after.

Most people have never heard of what caused the gap in this smile.

The frenum is the small band of tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums between the front teeth. When it's short, it can hold a space open — and here, it did. The enamel had its own problems: uneven patches of white and yellow across the surface.

So both were treated as one design. A laser recontoured the gum tissue. Porcelain veneers closed the space and covered the uneven enamel — designed digitally, checked as a wearable 3D-printed mockup, and approved before any tooth was prepared. That order matters: preparing a tooth removes a small amount of enamel permanently, and porcelain keeps the shade it's made in — it won't whiten later.

The after photos show the result: a closed gap, an even gum line, and a surface that reads as natural teeth.

If you've had a gap your whole life and assumed that's how your teeth grew in, the cause may be something you've never heard named. Book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills and we'll find out together.

Most people think Invisalign is a cosmetic treatment. The structural case for it is more significant than that.
When the bite is off, chewing force doesn't distribute evenly across the teeth. Some teeth carry more than their share, every day, for years. Chipped edges. Cracked enamel. Worn surfaces. That's not bad luck — it's an unmanaged load problem.
The same imbalance shows up in other ways patients rarely connect to their bite. Jaw tension. TMJ pain. Clenching and grinding at night. Waking up with headaches that don't have an obvious explanation. When those symptoms are present, the bite is often where we start.
What surprises most patients about properly aligned arches: the palate expands, the tongue finds room it didn't have before, and the airway opens. For many patients, that outcome — better breathing, reduced airway restriction — is more significant than the aesthetic result. It's not a side effect of treatment. It's part of what treatment does.
Straighter teeth are visible. The structural changes are what last.
If you've been thinking about Invisalign as a cosmetic option, it may be worth a conversation about the full picture. Book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills.

The Viva Smile team traveled to Dallas for a seminar on one subject: full mouth implant restoration for patients with dentures or multiple failing teeth — All-on-4 and All-on-X treatment.

For patients in that situation, this category of treatment replaces the whole arch with fixed teeth anchored on implants. It's among the most technically involved work in dentistry, and it's the kind of case this practice is built around. The protocols keep advancing, which is why the whole team went — not just the doctor. These cases run through planning, surgery, restoration, and follow-up, and every one of those steps involves the team.

What that means for you: when you sit down to talk about replacing a failing arch, the plan on the table reflects current practice — not what was standard ten years ago.

If you've been living with a denture, or holding onto teeth one repair at a time, book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills and we'll lay out what's possible for your case.

Two treatments are at work in this before-and-after, and the less obvious one isn't the porcelain.

The before photo shows discoloration, uneven edges, and a smile that tips slightly to one side — but look at the gum line too. It sits low and uneven over the teeth. A laser reshaped it, evening it out and exposing more of each tooth, and that new gum line set the proportions the veneers were designed around.

From there, the design was worked out as a whole — shade, shape, and edge position — then checked as a wearable 3D-printed mockup and approved before any tooth was prepared. That order matters: preparing a tooth removes a small amount of enamel permanently, and porcelain keeps the shade it's made in. It won't whiten later.

The after photo shows the result: a level gum line, even edges, and a shade that reads as natural teeth.

If your smile shows more gum than you'd like, or your teeth look shorter than they are, book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills and we'll take a look at what's actually going on.

There's a category of dental case that most practices refer out — too complex, too involved, beyond what the clinician is comfortable taking on. That referral is presented as the responsible choice. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it means the patient spends months being passed between providers with no one accountable for the outcome.
Dr. Baghdasaryan trained for the cases others decline. Full-arch implant rehabilitation. Bite reconstruction. Complex cosmetic work that has to function as well as it looks. The standard on every restoration: indistinguishable from nature. Not close. Not natural-looking. Actually integrated — to the point that trained eyes can't find the seam.
That standard comes from more than two decades of advanced surgical and cosmetic training, an Accredited Membership in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry held by fewer than 350 clinicians worldwide, and a consistent pattern of patients who arrive after a case has gone wrong somewhere else.
If you've been told your situation is complicated, or you've already had work done that didn't hold — that's exactly the kind of case this practice exists for.

Three things were going on in the before photo. The discoloration you see right away. The uneven edges you notice second. And a slight tilt across the whole smile that most people feel without being able to name it.

Whitening would have addressed one of the three. Porcelain veneers addressed all of them at once, because each veneer was designed for its place in this smile — shade, shape, and edge position worked out together, then checked as a wearable 3D-printed mockup before any tooth was prepared. That order matters: preparing a tooth for a veneer removes a small amount of enamel permanently, so at Viva Smile the design is seen and approved first.

The after photo shows what that process produces: even edges, a straight smile line, and a shade that reads as natural teeth.

If something about your own smile bothers you and you can't quite put your finger on it, it's often more than color. Book a consultation at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills
and we'll take a look together.

Dental emergencies don't arrive at a convenient time. A cracked tooth, an infection, a filling that finally gives out — none of it waits for the right moment in your budget.
When treatment is urgent and the cost isn't something you planned for, the temptation is to wait and see. In most cases, waiting turns a manageable problem into a more involved one.
At Viva Smile, we offer financing options that break treatment into monthly payments. The process is straightforward: we review your treatment options together, help you apply in the office — most applications take about five minutes — and from there you choose a plan that works for your situation. Shorter-term plans, including certain interest-free options, for those who want to pay it down quickly. Longer-term financing for those who want the monthly amount to feel more manageable.
The point isn't finding the cheapest path. It's finding a way to get the care you need before the problem gets harder to treat.
If cost has been the reason something's been sitting on hold, a consultation is a reasonable place to start. Book at https://book.modento.io/viva-smile-granada-hills.
