Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
  Many oral health issues can’t be viewed on the surface, which is where dental X-rays come in. Today, we use fully digital X-rays, which eliminate nearly all of the shortcomings of traditional film X-rays. For example, we can now capture sharper images of your oral anatomy in mere seconds rather than waiting for grainy images to be developed in a darkroom. This technology is also much safer, as it reduces radiation exposure by up to 90%.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Each of our routine checkups includes an oral cancer screening. Far too often, oral cancer isn’t diagnosed early enough for a successful recovery, but we aim to catch and treat the condition in its early stages. With a detailed visual exam as well as digital imaging technology, our team can detect the initial symptoms of oral cancer, such as suspicious lumps, growths, or tissue discoloration. If we spot anything concerning, we can help you receive an official diagnosis and treatment if need be.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Rather than just treating cavities and gum disease when they occur, our dental team at Dentistry on the Ponds work to help our dental patients avoid such oral health problems in the first place. With preventive dentistry in our Chanhassen, MN dental office, we can help you and your loved ones maintain pristine, healthy smiles – and better overall health – for years to come. If you’d like to schedule your next dental checkup and teeth cleaning, call our dental office today.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Your teeth are probably exposed to fluoride every day. This is great news; fluoride is proven to toughen tooth enamel and significantly reduce the risk of cavities. Some patients could benefit from more fluoride than they’re currently receiving through their toothpaste and/or tap water. That’s why we can take a few short minutes after your routine cleaning to coat your teeth in a concentrated fluoride gel. This quick and easy service goes a long way toward keeping your pearly whites strong and cavity-free until your next visit.
• Dental Sealants
  Dentistry on the Ponds is proud to be a family dental office, so of course we welcome children! Our team members are always patient and gentle with kids. We also offer a number of children’s dental treatments that can help young smiles grow up in healthy ways, such as dental sealants and silver diamine fluoride.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  For small cavities or cracks, we can replace the damaged enamel with composite resin. Compared to traditional metal fillings, this option actually requires
• Veneers
  A veneer is an extremely thin porcelain shell that can essentially conceal all flaws when affixed to the front-facing surface of a tooth. By placing multiple veneers, we can fully revamp your smile and make annoying stains, cracks, chips, and gaps all disappear in a flash. In fact, veneers are the secret behind many celebrities’ famously stunning smiles, and at our dental office, you can receive the exact same treatment in as little as two visits!
• Crowns
  When a tooth has sustained serious decay, injury, or wear, we can protect it from additional damage by topping it with a dental crown. These coverings are made from high-quality materials that enable you to chew just as you did when the tooth was whole. While we offer gold crowns for their classic durability, we can also provide crowns made from porcelain and other materials that resemble tooth enamel for a flawless appearance.
• Bridges
  A dental bridge is a simple method for replacing a single tooth or even two or three consecutive teeth. It’s made of a row of attached dental crowns, with the ones at either end fitted atop the natural teeth adjacent to the gap. This support gives the bridge impressive strength and stability. While we can provide highly durable metal bridges for back teeth, we often recommend porcelain bridges for teeth that are visible in the smile.
• Dental Bonding
  Do you have one or several dental imperfections that you feel self-conscious about? Do you have a discolored smile or possibly chipped a tooth while munching on popcorn? If so, you don’t have to live with flaws in your pearly whites. Our team at Dentistry on the Ponds can quickly and easily enhance your smile with dental bonding. By using tooth-colored composite resin, we can effectively correct minor issues in your teeth like chips, gaps, stains, and more. Not only is this cosmetic option cost-effective, but it can also be completed in just a single visit. Read on or give us a call today to learn more about dental bonding in Chanhassen!
• Restorative Dentistry
  Even with the best care, it’s common for teeth to become damaged, decayed, or simply worn down over the years. At Dentistry on the Ponds, we utilize the most modern techniques and technologies to fix these teeth and restore their previous appearance and function. With our restorative dentistry services, you can enjoy not only a better-looking smile, but also relief from discomfort, easier chewing, and the prevention of tooth loss in all likelihood. Call our dental office today to schedule your appointment for restorative dentistry in Chanhassen, MN!

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  “I honestly can't share enough wonderful words about Dr. Mehta and the friendly team from Dentistry on the Ponds. I had excruciating tooth pain on the first day of my vacation. I contacted Dr. Mehta, and on his day off, he was there for me and took care of me. That level of care really moved me. He made me feel like I was the most important person in his life, and I'll never forget it. In the end, I needed a root canal and the process was perfect. The staff (thank you Ben and Julie) went out of their way to explain the billing process and made it easy for me to understand. Ultimately, they treated me like family. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mehta and Dentistry on the Ponds!”

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  To treat gum disease, we must eliminate the source of the infection – the bacteria-filled plaque and tartar that have accumulated along and below the gumline. This is done with a type of deep cleaning called scaling and root planing. After removing the plaque and tartar deposits (scaling), we carefully reshape the roughened surfaces of the teeth’s roots (root planing), which encourages the gums to heal while reducing the odds of future infection.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  No tooth replacement is universally ideal for every patient, but we tend to recommend dental implants more often than the others. This treatment reconstructs the teeth from the roots up, resulting in more reliable, longer-lasting, and natural-feeling prosthetic teeth than you would get with dentures or bridges. We can even handle the entire process in-house for greater convenience and personalization.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  In today’s day and age, you don’t have to settle for a gapped smile or a tooth replacement that doesn’t quite look or feel natural. Here at Dentistry on the Ponds, we can replace your lost pearly whites with a solution that’s practically indistinguishable from the real thing – dental implants. Thanks to the state-of-the-art technology at our dental office, we can complete the entire dental implant treatment process under one roof, and you can learn more by contacting us and scheduling your consultation to explore options for tooth replacment with dental implants in Chanhassen, MN.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  Our team does everything in our power to ensure our patients keep their natural teeth for life. Unfortunately, if a tooth is extensively decayed or injured beyond hope of repair, removing the tooth may be the healthiest solution for a patient’s overall smile. With our advanced technology and sedation options, we know how to keep patients comfortable for the entire tooth extraction process. We also offer several options for replacing the tooth so that you don’t have to live with an incomplete grin.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Crooked, crowded, and gapped teeth are more than just aesthetic issues. They can also be harder to clean, putting you at a higher risk for tooth decay and oral infections. These days, you have more options for straightening your pearly whites than just traditional braces; at Dentistry on the Ponds, we also offer clear aligners that are more convenient for image-conscious professionals. Discover the perfect way to straighten your smile today by calling our dental office to schedule a consultation to explore your options for orthodontics in Chanhassen, MN!
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Last thing you want to do is compromise your image by wearing metal braces. When you visit Dentistry on the Ponds, that’s far from your only option! We offer several types of clear aligners, including Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and SureSmile, all of which can subtly straighten your teeth without being noticeable to the people around you.
• Braces
  Children, as well as older patients with severely misaligned teeth or an unbalanced bite (such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite), will probably benefit more from traditional braces. This tried-and-true method can make more dramatic changes than Invisalign. It involves threading a metal archwire through a series of brackets that are bonded to the front of each tooth. The wire gradually moves back toward its original shape, shifting the teeth into more evenly aligned positions.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Your teeth could darken or stain for several possible reasons, from the foods and beverages you consume to unfortunate genetics. With professional teeth whitening, our team can lighten your enamel by at least six to eight shades before your very eyes. We can give you an ultra-fast in-office whitening treatment right here in our dental office, or we can provide you with a customized kit so that you can brighten your grin in the comfort of your own home.
