Seeing and feeling a custom-made smile that fits the patient’s face is a truly transformational experience.
How Does it Work?
It’s a simple 2-step process!

Visit 2: Dr. Sonal applies the “New Look” to your existing teeth.
Crowns
What is a crown?
A dental crown is much like what its name suggests: a cap that covers the head of a tooth that has somehow been damaged. The cap protects the healthy part of a tooth so that it does not deteriorate further and alleviate any pain that a person experiences from the damaged tooth. Crowns are made from a variety of materials, such as metals (like gold), ceramics, resins, or a combination of two. They are fitted and placed in position by a dentist and last for a period of years.
Why is my dentist recommending this?
You may have developed large cavities or have cracked a tooth unexpectedly. Or, you might have undergone a root canal, requiring a cap to protect the exposed tooth. Some patients learn that a large filling in a tooth from years before may have caused deterioration or cracking that can be restored with a cap. Although crowns are common, you should always have your dentist explain the reasons for having such a procedure and the type of material used for the crown, as the length of time the crown lasts can vary.
What can I expect?
A crown installation starts with an impression of the tooth made in our office and the fitting of a temporary crown so that the permanent fixture can be made. The tooth is numbed as your dentist files away a portion of the tooth leaving the “head” that will receive the crown.
What about a recovery period?
There is normally very little pain or discomfort. When the crown is finished, usually in a matter of days, you’ll return to our office and your dentist will install it as well by cementing it in place, again with minimal discomfort. The crown is then much like any natural tooth, requiring no special care or precautions beyond normal, regular dental hygiene. Crowns made from porcelain can be shaded to appear like natural teeth.
Bridges
What is a bridge?
Bridges are stationary (non-removable) dental prostheses fixed to teeth, adjacent to space. They are cemented or bonded to supporting teeth or implants to replace one or more missing teeth.

Dental Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers are extremely thin casings of ceramic that are bonded to the front of the patients’ tooth to create a new smile. Porcelain veneers are placed over the front of teeth that appear too small or large, slightly discolored, or simply are not cosmetically pleasing to the patient.
For many patients, teeth may have chipped, become discolored, or are slightly crooked. For the majority of these patients, porcelain veneers can prove to be the perfect solution.
When placing porcelain dental veneers, we pay close attention to the patients’ surrounding teeth and design each veneer to complement the overall smile. The result is a beautiful, attractive new smile.
When cared for properly, your veneers will last you a long time. We ensure that your new veneers are constructed of the most durable porcelain materials available.
Dental Veneer Procedure
The cosmetic dental procedure begins with the preparation of the tooth. This entails removing the discolored or unsightly portion of the tooth and meticulously shaping the tooth in preparation for the new veneer. Once we have shaped the tooth, we will take an impression.
This impression will be sent to our lab where your new restoration will be crafted. While the new veneers are created, Dr.Sonalwill provides you with a temporary restoration. Our temporary restorations will resemble your natural teeth so that you can continue with your daily life without worrying about a missing or incompatible tooth.
During your second visit to Dr. Sonal, we will proceed with the placement of your final restoration. The veneers will be fitted comfortably into the mouth. We will make every effort to ensure that the new tooth feels exactly like one of your natural teeth. The final step in the process will be to bond the new veneers into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.

Teeth Whitening
Why would I need or want teeth whitening?
There are many reasons why you may desire whitening or bleaching of your teeth. Maybe you are unhappy with the current shade of your teeth, maybe they have been stained over time, maybe they have always been naturally darker, maybe you have a special event coming up and want to have a bright, white smile for the occasion. Whatever your reason, Dr Sonal is available to consult on safe, painless, easy ways to have that beautiful whiter smile you’ve always wanted.
What can I expect from a whitening treatment?
We begin your treatment with a consultation to ensure whitening will be effective for your teeth. After that, we take a photograph of your current smile so that you can compare it to the one we will take at the end of your treatment. Next, we take full impressions of your upper and lower teeth to make custom bleaching trays for both. These trays fit your teeth perfectly; there will be no overflow of the bleaching solution, so you don’t have to worry about any gum damage. And, you will be taking these custom trays home with you; they are yours to keep. Because they are custom made to the size and shape of your teeth – no one, of course, could fit them as well as you do!
During the treatment period, you will fill the trays with the bleaching solution and wear the trays for a few hours each day. Within 7-10 days, you will see a dramatic improvement in the color of your teeth. At your next appointment, we will take the “after” photo, to show you just how much whiter and beautiful your smile has become.
We also have our take home whitening pens available for purchase in our office if you are looking for a take home option. For more tips and some natural ways of whitening teeth, check out our blog article on Tips for Teeth Whitening.
