Stay ahead of the problem

Prevention is the most powerful tool in dentistry

Preventative dentistry is the foundation everything else is built on. Regular cleanings, thorough exams, and consistent monitoring catch small problems before they become larger, more costly ones — and they keep the teeth and gums healthy enough to support whatever else your smile needs over time. At Surprise Dental Care, preventative care is taken seriously at every age and every stage. Dr. Ebadi and hygienist Sandra McComb approach each appointment not as a routine checkbox but as an opportunity to understand the full picture of your oral health. Early mornings and same-day scheduling mean that staying on top of your preventative care never has to compete with the rest of your life.

The benefits of preventative dentistry

Prevention is simpler, less invasive, and often less costly than treatment. The patients who invest in regular preventative care are the ones who spend less time in the dental chair over the long run.

Catch problems early

Regular exams allow Dr. Ebadi to identify decay, gum disease, and other concerns at their earliest stage, when they are easiest and least expensive to address.

Protect your long-term oral health

Consistent preventative care keeps the teeth and gums in the kind of condition that supports a healthy smile for life, reducing the likelihood of more significant treatment down the road.

A relationship built on knowing your health

Regular visits mean Dr. Ebadi and the team develop a detailed understanding of your oral health over time, making it easier to spot changes and respond before they become problems.

Our preventative treatments

Dental exams

A comprehensive dental exam is the cornerstone of preventative care. Dr. Ebadi conducts thorough examinations that go beyond checking for cavities, assessing the health of the gums, the alignment of the bite, the condition of existing restorations, and the overall state of the oral tissues. X-rays are taken as needed to give a complete picture of what is happening beneath the surface. For new patients, the first exam establishes a baseline that makes every subsequent visit more informed and more effective.

Dental cleanings

Even the most diligent brushing and flossing leaves behind plaque and tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. At Surprise Dental Care, cleanings are performed by hygienist Sandra McComb, whose thorough and patient approach puts even anxious patients at ease. Regular cleanings prevent the buildup that leads to gum disease and decay, and they give the team an opportunity to monitor changes in your oral health between exams.

Periodontal care

Periodontal disease is one of the most common and most underdiagnosed conditions in dentistry. Left untreated, it progresses from mild gum inflammation to serious infection that can affect the bone supporting your teeth. At Surprise Dental Care, periodontal health is monitored at every visit, and treatment is recommended early when it is most effective.

Deep cleaning

When plaque and tartar have built up below the gum line, a standard cleaning is not sufficient to address it. A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, removes that buildup from the root surfaces of the teeth and smooths the roots to discourage future accumulation. It is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for early to moderate periodontal disease and is often the first step in getting gum health back on track.

Fluoride treatment

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. At Surprise Dental Care, fluoride treatments are offered regularly as a simple and effective layer of protection against decay, particularly for patients who are more susceptible to cavities.

Dental sealants

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay most commonly begins. They create a physical barrier against food and bacteria in the grooves and pits that are difficult to clean with a toothbrush alone. Sealants are most commonly recommended for younger patients but can benefit adults as well, particularly those with deep grooves or a history of cavities in the back teeth.

Oral cancer screenings

Oral cancer screenings are a routine part of every comprehensive exam at Surprise Dental Care. Dr. Ebadi examines the oral tissues carefully for any signs of abnormality, including early indicators of oral cancer that are far more treatable when caught at an early stage. The screening takes only a few minutes and requires no special preparation, but the peace of mind it provides is significant.

Night guards

Nighttime grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, causes significant wear on the teeth over time and can lead to sensitivity, fractures, and jaw discomfort. A custom night guard provides a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth during sleep, absorbing the force of grinding and preserving the enamel beneath. At Surprise Dental Care, night guards are custom-fabricated for a precise, comfortable fit that patients are far more likely to actually wear.

Most patients benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months. Patients with a history of gum disease, a higher susceptibility to decay, or active periodontal conditions may be recommended more frequent visits. Dr. Ebadi will advise on the right schedule for your individual needs.

A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar from the surfaces of the teeth and just below the gum line in patients with healthy gums. A deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, goes further below the gum line to remove buildup from the root surfaces of teeth affected by gum disease. Dr. Ebadi recommends a deep cleaning only when it is clinically appropriate.

While sealants are most commonly applied in younger patients, but adults can benefit from them too, particularly those with deep grooves in the back teeth or a history of cavities in those areas. Dr. Ebadi will let you know if sealants are a worthwhile option for your specific situation.

Come in! We promise, there is no judgment here. Dr. Ebadi and the team see patients at every stage of dental health, and the most important step is simply getting back on track. Your first visit will include a thorough exam and cleaning, a clear picture of where things stand, and a straightforward plan for addressing anything that needs attention.

What a fantastic dental team! All of the staff are professional and friendly, offering an incredibly welcoming experience. I was new to the area, and Dr. Ebadi and his team got me in right away and made sure I was taken care of. From the front desk staff to the dental assistants and Dr. Ebadi, they really took the time to listen, explained all of my options, and worked with me to find a plan that fit my budget. I highly recommend Dr. Ebadi and his team!

Friendly staff and quality care. I was happy with the cleaning so I returned for a follow up to repair some cavities. My teeth feel better and look nicer. I'd recommend them.

Justin

My first visit here was great! The whole team @ surprise dental care is super friendly and you can tell they all like working for Dr. Ebadi. I really loved my old dentist but the commute there was challenging. So happy to find a place on the west side that I can trust to bring my whole family in.

Jesse

I had my first visit with doctor Ebadi yesterday and I'm so impressed with the level of care and professionalism the doctor and his staff has. From the moment I walked in, the whole experience felt welcoming, calm, organized, and quick. The doctor and his team took their time to explain everything to me clearly and gave me a detailed treatment plan without rushing me or making me feel pressured. What stood out was how patient and supportive they were, keeping in my my fear of dentist visits. It's rare to find a dentist who combines expertise and such a reassuring and kind manner. Highly recommended to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Aleisha & Judy were both so kind, patient and charismatic on the phone and in person!! They got me in the very next day for a second opinion (from another office), and I'm so glad I went! Lisa and Brooke went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable during the procedure, especially given my intense fear of needles. I had forgotten my headphones, and they made sure I had some along with music to help me get through the appointment. Dr. Ebadani was fantastic — knowledgeable, kind, and he made the whole procedure go very smoothly. 10/10 all around — this is my new dentist for life.

Kait

I am new to Surprise and went with reviews when I needed to find a dentist. The reviews were absolutely correct! I couldn't be happier that I found Surprise Dental Care. Dr Ebadi, as well as the entire staff, are detail oriented, accommodating, friendly and do really good work. I trust them completely and am grateful I found them.

Amy

Surprise dental was recently taken over by Dr Ebadi and the existing staff remained. I am so happy about this as the staff is great! Dr Ebadi, is a super nice guy and easy to talk to. Awesome dentist with thorough knowledge and a light touch. What i liked even more is he doesn't try to talk me in to doing dental procedures. He informs and then makes good suggestions with no pressure. He also seems genuinely happy to see all of his patients, even the problem children like me. 😉 I am very happy with this group.
