Porcelain Veneers
In as little as 2-3 visits, veneers (special, porcelain, thin laminates) can make you look years younger. This is a popular procedure, used on ABC's Extreme Makeover, used to correct discolored, worn down, cracked and chipped teeth. Veneers can also be used to close unsightly gaps between teeth.

Teeth Whitening
Our state-of-the-art, in-office ZOOM! Teeth Whitening system (as seen on ABC's Extreme Makeover) will make your teeth whiter in less than 1.5 hours. Another option is our home whitening system for results in 2 weeks. You can also consider a combination program of both systems for optimal, long-term results.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are used to replace missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or to replace/support a removable appliance. Implants are so well designed that they truely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of. Treatment can be completed in as little as 6 months. The convenience and ease of use of the Invisalign system has made it the choice of over half a million people. There are no metal wires or bands, like traditional braces, to irritate your mouth, and best of all, most people won't notice you're in treatment.
CEREC is the world's only system for the fabrication of all-porcelain dental restorations in one office visit.
Traditionally, these restorations would be sent to a dental laboratory to be fabricated, a temporary restoration would be placed, and you would need to come back for a second appointment to get the permanent restoration.
With CEREC's state-of-the-art computer technology at Dr. Vashi's side, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all-porcelain crown(cap), onlay, or veneer! And, all porcelain restorations look just like your naturaly teeth. For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule.
All of these dark, unsightly, failing silver fillings were changed to beautiful porcelain restorations....all in one-visit!
Tooth Colored Bonding
An alternative to veneers is a process called bonding, in which a tooth-colored material that looks like the enamel of your teeth is molded and shaped, and then hardened and polished. Bonding can be used to improve the color of a tooth, or close unsightly gaps. Bonding is generally not as permanent a process as veneers, and can be vulnerable to the same kind of staining your natural teeth are prone to. Bonding can also be more prone to chips and cracks than veneers.
Periodontal Treatment
You should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year. A periodontal treatment includes an Adult Prophy (basic cleaning). If it has been over a year since your last cleaning, you may need additional treament such at a deeper cleaning (Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing). We will assess your periodontal health and suggest the best treatment to keep you in optimal health.
Root Canal Treatment
We perform root canals on anterior and premolar teeth.
Removable Dental Prosthesis
For missing teeth, we can make dentures or removable partials for you.
Athletic Mouthguards and Nightguards
Whether you are an athlete or casual sports participant, you should wear an athletic mouthguard to protect your teeth. A mouthguard can protect not only your teeth, but it can protect your jaw bone, the jaw joint (TMJ), and protect against concussions.
If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a nightguard will help reduce symptoms of jaw soreness, headaches, and difficulty in chewing. The consequences of grinding can be devastating to your teeth and jaw joint and must be treated to prevent long term permanent damage.
We custom make athletic mouthguards and nightguards for our patients.
