Our Approach to Giving You a Beautiful New Smile
Dr. Khetani will tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs and goals for your smile. Treatment plans can therefore vary widely depending on personal goals and what the patient wants done. Below is our general approach to giving you beautiful and long-lasting results that will allow you to smile with confidence.
Exam and consultation
In addition to a comprehensive oral exam which includes full digital X-rays and photos of your smile, Dr. Khetani will consult with you in detail about what you want to achieve so she can customize your treatment plan to meet your specific goals.
Study model and bite analysis
Dr. Khetani will take full impressions of your teeth to create a plaster-cast study model that will be used to help design your smile. She will also perform a detailed analysis of your jaw motion and bite alignment so she can plan your new smile so as
to achieve an optimum bite relationship.
Custom treatment plan
Dr. Khetani will formulate a custom treatment plan to meet you smile goals. She will explain all steps of the plan in detail so you understand exactly what the procedures involve and can comfortably make decisions about your treatment.
Creating a foundation of good oral health
The success of cosmetic treatment depends on a foundation of good oral health. Dr. Khetani will perform any needed dental cleaning or treatment for
cavities or gum disease before starting your
cosmetic program. This ensures that the final results
of your treatment will be long-lasting.
Procedures We Can Use to Create Your New Smile
Following are the main procedures Dr. Khetani uses to provide her patients with bright new smiles:
-
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain coverings that are bonded to the front of teeth to change their color, shape and/or size. Dr. Khetani uses top-quality materials and is meticulous in the design and placement of veneers so they look completely natural and aesthetic.
-
Dental bonding
Dr. Khetani can use a tooth-colored resin material to fix or cover up minor cosmetic or structural flaws in your teeth. Resin bonding tends to lose its color and shape over time, but it is highly suitable for a quick fix or as a temporary enhancement before veneers or other permanent restorations can be placed.
-
Dental crowns
A dental crown is normally used when a tooth needs both significant structural repair and cosmetic improvement. Whenever possible, Dr. Khetani fabricates crowns out of zirconia porcelain, one of the latest advances in dental materials. In addition to having excellent aesthetics, zirconia is the strongest and most durable material for replacement teeth that is currently available.
-
Dental bridges
A dental bridge is a series of connected porcelain crowns used to fill a gap left by one or more missing teeth. Dr. Khetani places bridges that are stable, look natural and fit perfectly in your bite.
-
Tooth-colored fillings
Old silver amalgam or gold fillings can be replaced with a modern, tooth-colored dental material that makes the filling practically invisible.
-
Teeth Whitening
Dr. Khetani can brighten your smile using our in-office professional whitening system. She can also provide you with custom bleaching trays and professional-grade whitening gel so you can conveniently whiten your teeth at home.
-
Invisalign® clear teeth straightening
Dr. Khetani is a certified provider of Invisalign clear teeth straightening. With Invisalign, you don’t have to go through the discomfort, long treatment times and inconvenience of traditional braces to obtain a straight and beautiful smile. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners to effectively and comfortably straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires.
Conditions Cosmetic Dentistry Can Fix
- Dark, stained or discolored teeth
- Teeth that are crooked or at an odd angle
- Misshapen teeth
- Rough, chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Fillings that don’t match the color of your teeth
