Services
Dental Checkup
A comprehensive dental checkup includes cleaning, full-mouth examination, and X-rays if needed. Dr. Kathawala explains findings in detail, addressing gum health, decay, and preventive care. Patients receive personalized oral hygiene guidance and nutrition advice to maintain long-term dental health.
Dental Cleaning
Professional cleanings use advanced ultrasonic tools to remove plaque and tartar, followed by polishing for a smooth finish. The process includes periodontal charting to assess gum health. Most insurance plans cover this preventive service at 100%, ensuring affordable care.
Dental Sealants
Sealants protect molars from decay by sealing grooves where plaque accumulates. Applied painlessly, they last 2-4 years and are ideal for children. The practice emphasizes preventive care, offering sealants alongside fluoride treatments to reduce cavity risk.
Cavities Fillings
Tooth-colored composite fillings restore decayed teeth, blending naturally with enamel. The process involves removing decay, cleaning the cavity, and applying fluoride-releasing material for added protection. Patients appreciate the gentle technique and aesthetic results.
Pediatric Dentistry
Specialized care for children includes routine checkups, sealants, and fluoride treatments. Dr. Kathawalas approach focuses on building trust through patience and clear communication, ensuring a positive experience for anxious young patients and their families.
