Dr. Bjornbak’s News & Updates

Sherman Oaks cosmetic dentistry is part science and part art.

I’m Dr. Michael Bjornbak of Sherman Oaks Dental and enjoy using my extensive dental training and specialized artistic skills to design treatment plans unique to each of my Sherman Oaks cosmetic dental clients.

In order to achieve an attractive, yet natural looking result, I do much more than recommend specific procedures. I consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. In order to create a balanced look, the facial shape and coloring is taken into account. The Van Nuys dentistry client’s age, health condition and lifestyle all influence the plan.

At Sherman Oaks Dental, there is no one size fits all treatment plan.

My artistic abilities have been perfected over several years of creating smile transformations for my Studio City and Encino cosmetic dentistry clients. I am constantly receiving the latest training in new techniques and materials.

Even fairly recent cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers have advanced considerably. Dental implants are a truly remarkable solution for our California dental clients who have lost one or more teeth.

I would love to design a personalized smile makeover for you. When the work has been completed and you are enjoying your new look, it will only be obvious to those who see you all the time. Others will assume you have always been blessed with a naturally beautiful and healthy smile.

Hello! Welcome to the Sherman Oaks Dental blog. If this your first visit, we hope you find useful information about our Sherman Oaks cosmetic dentistry practice. If you have read some of our previous articles, we are glad you checked back with us. We post new articles regularly.

My name is Dr. Michael Bjornbak, DDS. I have been practicing dentistry in Sherman Oaks since 1989. Sherman Oaks Dental is a full-service dental office located at 4849 Van Nuys Boulevard, Suite 101, in Sherman Oaks, California. In addition to providing comprehensive examinations and deep cleanings for clients in the Van Nuys area, we perform all types of tooth restorations.

When a tooth has decay or has been damaged, a dental restoration is needed to ‘restore’ the tooth to its previous intact condition. A dental filling is one of the most common and well-known types of restorations. A dental filling is used to repair decayed or damaged tooth surfaces. Most people have a few fillings in their mouth.

If you have old silver amalgam fillings, we can replace them with nearly-invisible tooth colored fillings. These fillings are made out of a strong composite resin. Many of our Studio City cosmetic dentistry patients have replaced their old silver fillings with fillings matched to their teeth. You can improve your smile instantly and relatively inexpensively by getting rid of the ‘metal’.

Another reason some Burbank and Encino clients have had their old fillings replaced is because they are concerned about the possible heavy metal toxicity of the mercury in the silver.

If you would like to replace your amalgam fillings, call us at 818-672-1288 to schedule a consultation. We are currently accepting new patients and would be happy to show you around our Sherman Oaks cosmetic dental office and introduce you to our friendly team.

Smile – it increases your face value!

Many of the people who visit Sherman Oaks Dental have questions about cosmetic dentistry. It seems that everyone is interested in cosmetic dentistry, but there are many questions that only your local Sherman Oaks dentist can answer.

Do you suspect that you have bad breath? I’m Dr. Michael Bjornbak of Sherman Oaks Dental, a full-service dental office in Sherman Oaks, California. I help our dental patients diagnose and overcome this unpleasant and potentially embarrassing condition.

Halitosis is caused by the bacteria that live on and around your teeth, gums and tongue. Breath mints and mouthwashes do not cure bad breath, they only mask the symptoms. Proper oral hygiene can cure many cases of bad breath. However, in some cases, bad breath is caused by more serious conditions. Sinus and tonsil infections, acid reflux, ulcers, diabetes, hypoglycemia, kidney malfunction, and eating disorders are just some of the health issues that can cause bad breath.

If you have bad breath, the first thing to do is make sure you are cleaning your teeth, gums and tongue thoroughly. This does not mean you should brush as long and forcefully as possible. Brushing too vigorously can harm gums and contribute to gum recession. At Sherman Oaks Dental, we help patients of all ages learn safe and effective brushing, flossing and tongue cleaning methods.

And don’t forget regular professional cleanings. Our friendly dental hygienist is trained in the latest and most effective deep-cleaning procedures. Your teeth feel so good after being cleaned professionally!

To make an appointment for an exam, cleaning or consultation, call 818-672-1288. Your teeth are too important to neglect.

A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Sherman Oaks Dental, we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many Van Nuys smiles better than they ever were before!

Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that are attached to the front of one of more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both.

Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.

Some of our Studio City and Encino dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, come on in; we’ll help you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile.
