- Resin CompositeComposite bonding is a quick process, typically lasting less than an hour. Compared to veneers or crowns, it is a popular choice because it does not reduce the tooth's original structure. Composite bonding is also relatively inexpensive. And finally, composite resins are available in many different shades. The shade can be chosen to match the natural color of the original tooth.
- VeneersDuring the initial visit, the patient and dentist discuss the process of placing veneers and the options available (e.g. types and shades of veneers). On your next visit, the dentist removes a very small layer of each tooth's outer enamel. A local anesthesia may be used but is typically not necessary. The dentist makes a mold of the teeth and then sends it to a dental lab where they create customized veneers for the teeth. The lab prepares the veneers in roughly seven to ten days. During this time, the teeth have a slightly different appearance because of the removal of the outer layer of enamel. Some patients choose to have temporary restorations placed on their teeth, but this step is usually not necessary. Once the veneers have returned from the lab, the patient makes a final dental visit. The dentist applies the veneer to the tooth using a bonding material. When exposed to light, this bonding material dries and hardens.
- CrownsA bridge is a device used to fill the space where a tooth has fallen out or been removed. A typical bridge consists of a pontic (a filler tooth) that is attached to two surrounding abutments (crowns). Once complete, this bridge structure is bonded into the mouth. Without the use of a bridge, spaces in the mouth from missing teeth can cause multiple teeth to shift, lead to occlusion (biting) and/or jaw problems and spur periodontal disease. Bridges safeguard the integrity of existing teeth and help maintain a healthy, vibrant smile.

- Dental BondingComposite bonding is a technique used to improve the appearance of your teeth. The term composite bonding refers to any composite material, either a plastic or resin, which is bonded to an existing tooth. Bonding is ideal for fixing chipped or cracked teeth, hiding discoloration on the tooth's surface, or reducing the gaps between teeth. Whatever the specific intent, composite bonding creates more aesthetically pleasing teeth and a brighter smile. Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding removes little if any of the original tooth.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhen decay is so deep that the nerve becomes infected, Doctor may recommend root canal treatment. Your tooth may require a post and crown as a final restoration, in addition to a root canal. Root canals are highly successful and an alternative to loosing the tooth in many cases.
- DenturesSome patients may be able to save some of their teeth by replacing those missing with a removable partial denture. For those patients who require replacement dentures or need full extractions and immediate temporary dentures placed, we can accommodate your needs. In the event you need to have all your teeth removed, you will leave our office with a denture(s) in your mouth and return for follow up care the next day.

- Invisalign Orthodontics“Dr. Falguni Patel really spent time with me reviewing my options and explaining the different aspects of each one. She didn't only focus on how straight my front teeth would be but on my overall bite and the health of my teeth. I chose to go with Invisalign and now I can't be more thrilled. My smile looks great! The office itself is beautiful and modern. ”
- BracesThese are the most common type of braces. They are much smaller and more comfortable than those in the past. More importantly, the smaller brackets cover less area of the tooth, making it easier to monitor the state of the oral hygiene. We offer a variety of colored elastics that are changed at every appointment. The reason for this is that these elastics hold the wire that moves the teeth to the brackets. The elastics lose their stretch after a period of time and must be changed in order to be effective.
- Teeth WhiteningRegardless of how well you care for your teeth, it is inevitable that, over time, some yellowing or discoloration will occur. This gradual change can be caused by aging, substances that stain your teeth (such as coffee and tobacco), excessive fluoride, or the deterioration of a tooth's nerve. A tooth whitening treatment can be performed either as an at-home, dentist-supervised process or in the dentist's chair. While neither of these methods stops future discoloration, these treatments bring about whiter teeth and help create a brighter smile.
