- Dental ExaminationEach plan includes a comprehensive exam, x-rays and hygiene visits. Members also receive discounts for additional services, including Invisalign® and In-Office Whitening.
- X-raysRegular visits for exams and dental cleanings are the most cost-effective measure you can take when it comes to your dental health. At these visits, we will check your teeth for any signs of decay or wear, and examine the gums and soft tissue to look for any concerns with bleeding gums, infection or unusual bumps or sores. We may recommend digital dental x-rays to look between the teeth and under the gums to monitor your child's dental development or look for any indications of oral bone loss in adults.
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth CleaningWe will always recommend what is best for you. Adult patients or children with complex or developmental needs may require the services of a dental orthodontic specialist, an orthodontist. If Dr. Bhat determines this is the best course of action for you, we will refer you to an orthodontist and work with them to maintain your preventive dental cleanings while you complete orthodontic treatment.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental Sealants
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeAfter Dr. Bhat shapes the area for the restoration, the pliable composite resin dental filling material is applied and shaped to fit the tooth and bite. A special curing light hardens the material, and the restoration is smoothed and polished as a finishing touch.
- VeneersPorcelain dental veneers are thin facings that are often used on front teeth to create a symmetrical and pleasing smile shape, color and style. They can be placed without removing a lot of tooth structure, which makes them very appealing for cosmetic dental makeovers.
- CrownsCerec ® employs 3D digital imaging tools, so no more messy dental impressions! One-visit crowns also mean no annoying temporaries, because there is no waiting. You leave our office with a beautiful ceramic crown that matches your natural teeth.
- BridgesReplacement options for one or more missing teeth include dental implants and dental bridges. Dental implants are artificial tooth ‘roots’ that are placed by a dental specialist and restored by Dr. Bhat with a custom dental crown, bridge, or, may be used to secure a denture. A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that is attached to multiple existing teeth or dental implants, with one or more false teeth resting between the abutments to serve as a replacement.
- Dental BondingDental composite materials are available in many shades of “white” to blend naturally with your other teeth. They are used in cosmetic dental bonding procedures to make small changes in front teeth.
- Restorative DentistryWe love helping our patients rebuild their smiles with restorative dentistry! If you have teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma, have existing dental work that is deteriorating or are missing teeth, Dr. Bhat and the North Fulton Smiles team can help you get your smile back. Common restorative procedures that we provide in our Alpharetta dental practice include...
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal procedures are sometimes necessary when tooth decay or trauma causes infection of the nerve of the tooth. Root canal treatment is performed to remove the infected nerve tissue and treat the infection, followed by sealing the tooth and root canals to prevent re-infection. Dr. Bhat works closely with a root canal specialist, an endodontist, to coordinate root canal procedures. Following a root canal, Dr. Bhat places a permanent crown restoration on the root canal tooth to protect it from fracturing.
- DenturesIf you are a denture-wearer, chances are you have experienced some or all of the challenges that dentures can present, such as loose and wobbly dentures, poor fit, sore spots or an unnatural appearance.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants can bring beauty back to your smile and at the same time restore lost function, allowing you to eat and speak normally.
- OrthodonticsInvisalign® orthodontics uses clear teeth aligners to gradually straighten teeth. “Clear” means no embarrassing metal brackets or wires, and “removable” means you can continue to enjoy the foods you love without worrisome hardware for food to get stuck in.
- Invisalign Orthodontics"Dr. Veena Bhat and her team are first class! I actually enjoy going to the dentist. They have helped my dental health and now they are improving my smile with Invisalign. I have had them for 2 months and am already noticing a nice difference. Thanks North Fulton Smiles Team!"
- BracesIt is not surprising that most adults that would like to have straighter teeth do not want to have metal braces. Invisalign® clear orthodontics is a nearly invisible approach to orthodontic tooth movement. Wearing removable plastic aligners daily makes the process user-friendly, and you get to continue to eat and speak normally without the hassles of metal wires and brackets.
- Teeth WhiteningCosmetic teeth whitening is an easy way to brighten up your smile! Over time, teeth become stained and discolored from dark beverages, medications and smoking. Professional teeth whitening is a simple and safe procedure that can give you a brighter smile in a short amount of time.
- Cosmetic DentistryOur Alpharetta family dental practice is dedicated to providing all phases of general and cosmetic dentistry. From routine needs such as children's preventive cleanings to the complex needs of medically compromised seniors, Dr. Veena Bhat and our North Fulton Smiles Team believe that every patient deserves to receive the same level of care that we would give to our own families.
- General DentistryDr. Bhat achieved her DDS degree from the Northwestern University Dental School in Chicago. Upon graduation, she continued her training and completed the Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program at the University of California. She began the next chapter of her life in 2000, getting married and moving to the Alpharetta-Roswell area.
