- Dental ExaminationA periodontal exam, during which Dr. Shah and our hygienists will assess the health of your gums. As a family dentist, Dr. Shah can help you prevent or treat gum disease, the condition responsible for 80 percent of adult tooth loss in the United States. We perform scaling to carefully remove plaque and tartar below the gum line and root planing to smooth the rough edges on a tooth’s root. We also administer the antibiotic Arestin to fight periodontal bacteria.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningA thorough oral cancer screening. We strongly encourage regular exams so that we can catch this deadly disease in its earliest stages. Oral cancer will kill half of those who have it within five years. Dr. Shah will help identify and recommend treatment for oral cancer.
- Teeth CleaningGenerally speaking dental insurance covers most all preventive dentistry procedures as well as a large number of restorative treatments, too. Twice-yearly appointments for a dental cleaning and examination with annual x-rays are included. These regularly scheduled visits allow Dr. Shah to monitor the condition of your teeth and gums in order to spot problems sooner rather than later. This way, you avoid more invasive procedures that are also usually more expensive.
- Fluoride TreatmentChildren have unique oral healthcare needs. Cobblestone Dental Center tailors pediatric services to your little ones. Ask about preventive fluoride treatments, as well as sealants to protect a child’s hard-to-reach back teeth from decay.
- Dental SealantsThe average tooth has multiple grooves on its surface where many bacteria and food particles and reside. To help protect your teeth, our family dentistry team can apply a clear dental sealant to the area. Sealants work to prevent food and other debris from lodging themselves on your enamel. Talk to Dr. Shah about this procedure to protect your teeth today!
- FillingsDentists have been restoring teeth with silver amalgam for over 100 years. Today, Dr. Shah uses durable composite resin for dental fillings because it simulates a tooth’s natural surface color. Patients concerned about mercury in traditional amalgam fillings will appreciate this metal-free option.
- Resin CompositeIf you have a cavity or want your existing silver fillings replaced with composite resin, we will be happy to assist you. Give the Maricopa office of Cobblestone Dental Center a call and our team will schedule your appointment and answer all of your questions.
- VeneersThe team will prepare your teeth for permanent veneers, custom-made by dental ceramists, and outfit you with a temporary set.
- CrownsYou may need a crown to restore a weak, decayed, or broken tooth. In only two visits, Dr. Shah will cover your problem tooth with a crown, or cap, to restore function, shape, and appearance and actually make your tooth stronger.
- Bridges
- Dental BondingIf you have a minor chip in your enamel, Dr. Shah can carefully shade a dental composite to match the shade of your tooth, and then use it to build up the gap. Cosmetic bonding is a popular, cost-effective way to rebuild your smile, so contact our practice to learn how it can help!

- Root Canal TreatmentYour teeth contain several layers: the outer protective enamel, a secondary layer of sensitive dentin, and an inner pulp that contains components commonly referred to as the “nerve” of the tooth. Each pulp chamber branches off, forming canals that lead toward the tooth root tip. These infamous root canals provide a means for the tooth to absorb what it needs from the blood and get rid of toxins or other unnecessary materials via the blood stream. A deep cavity, traumatic injury, or tooth fracture can make the canal susceptible to bacterial infection, which can kill the pulp, stimulate increased blood flow, and create pressure within the tooth. This can cause severe tooth pain and may initiate bone degeneration, tooth loss, and even more acute pain. If you see Dr. Shah in the earliest stages of this condition, the tooth may be saved with a root canal. Otherwise, it should be extracted and replaced with a prosthetic.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesIf you have lost some or all of your teeth, Dr. Shah can help you reclaim a comfortable, natural-looking, and healthy smile. You’ll begin with a fitting for a full or partial set of dentures.
- Dental ImplantsAn attractive, strong, fully functional smile is one of life’s greatest gifts. Don’t miss out. Dr. Shah can renew quality of life for patients missing one or more teeth. Dental implants are replacement prosthetics that can help you achieve a natural-looking, natural-feeling smile. Embedded in the jaw like natural teeth, dental implants feel strong and can last a lifetime. The jawbone actually fuses to the implant’s titanium anchor, which serves as the root of the new tooth.
- Oral SurgeryReceiving dental implants begins with minor oral surgery in our office. Dr. Shah will gently anesthetize the area of your jaw where the implants will be placed. Then, he makes a small incision in your gum tissue in order to reveal the bone. Each implant is surgically embedded to take advantage of the greatest bone density and your gums are sutured closed.
- Tooth Extractions
- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsIf you are ready to benefit from the best orthodontic treatment, you need to schedule a consultation with Cobblestone Dental Center. We will perform the consultation necessary to determine if Invisalign is right for you. If you are a candidate for the treatment, we will create a customized treatment plan to start you on the road to a perfect smile.
- BracesAt Cobblestone Dental Center, we are committed to creating healthy, beautiful smiles to smile confidently. However, we understand that many people are not born with a naturally attractive smile. Among the biggest complaint is crocked and misaligned teeth. When the teeth are misaligned, it often causes you not to smile as brightly while also increasing your risk for oral health complications. Now, you can get the straight, healthy smile you have always wanted with Invisalign. Invisalign has quickly become the most preferred orthodontic treatment because it is a clear alternative to traditional metal braces.
- Teeth WhiteningOver time, your teeth may dull, stain, and lose their vibrant appearance, but they don’t have to stay that way. Today’s new teeth whitening systems produce light, youthful smiles.
