Dental Fillings – Dental fillings are used to repair cavities or restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, trauma, or grinding. We use tooth-colored composite fillings, which not only provide a more natural look but also preserve more of the healthy tooth structure compared to traditional silver fillings. These fillings help to strengthen the tooth, address early decay, and restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile.

Root Canal Therapy – When a tooth becomes infected due to decay or injury, the dental pulp can become inflamed, necessitating root canal therapy. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning the tooth’s canals, and filling them with gutta-percha to save the tooth and prevent extraction. Root canals have a high success rate of around 95% when performed correctly.

Dental Crowns – Dental crowns are designed to restore and protect severely damaged or weakened teeth, preventing further fracture or damage. Made from materials such as zirconia, porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns offer enhanced strength and durability. They are especially useful after a root canal or for teeth with extensive fillings. We provide both traditional lab-made crowns and same-day crowns to fit your needs and preferences.

Our dental practice offers a wide range of services to address damaged teeth caused by oral injuries, decay, teeth grinding, and other concerns. From fillings and root canal therapy to dental crowns, we provide effective treatments tailored to your needs. During your consultation, our dentist will assess the condition of your teeth and gums, taking into account your lifestyle and budget to recommend the most suitable treatment options. We will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan aimed at restoring your oral health and smile.

Dental fillings are a common solution for restoring teeth affected by decay. Dr. Khanani will carefully remove the damaged enamel and fill the cavity to restore the tooth's natural shape and function. We offer both composite and amalgam fillings in our office. Composite fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, making them a popular choice for those who value aesthetics. Amalgam fillings, made from a combination of metals like tin, silver, and copper, offer exceptional durability, although they may slightly alter the appearance of the tooth. Dr. Khanani will go over all your options during your consultation to help you make an informed decision about the best treatment for your needs.

Restorative dental care plays a crucial role in maintaining long-term oral health, as ignoring dental concerns can lead to more serious issues over time. What starts as a small cavity can escalate into severe decay, potentially affecting the tooth's pulp and resulting in a painful infection. Failing to treat dental problems early on may lead to the need for more complex and expensive procedures later. Additionally, untreated infections can spread to other teeth or even affect overall health, sometimes with life-threatening outcomes. Restorative treatments help preserve natural teeth, prevent the need for extractions, and protect against bone loss and tooth misalignment. Addressing dental concerns in a timely manner is essential to avoid more significant and costly complications in the future.

Restorative dental treatments are generally covered by dental insurance, typically ranging from 50% to 80% of the cost. This coverage includes procedures such as fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, and implants. However, insurance plans typically only cover treatments deemed medically necessary. Certain cosmetic procedures, like tooth-colored fillings or crowns, may not be covered unless there is clear evidence of decay or damage that requires restoration. To understand the specifics of your coverage, it’s recommended to check with your insurance provider. For those without insurance, we also offer a variety of financing options to help make restorative treatments more accessible and affordable.

Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure used to repair and save an infected tooth. When a cavity is left untreated or when a tooth sustains damage from an injury, a root canal may become necessary. If bacteria penetrate the inner layers of the tooth, it can cause an infection that requires prompt treatment.

During a root canal, a small opening is made in the tooth’s outer surface to remove the infected tissue from inside. The tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to preserve its remaining structure. Following the procedure, the tooth can be restored with a filling or dental crown for added strength and protection. Our practice provides both anterior (front) and posterior (back) root canals, all performed by Dr. Khanani.

At Khanani Family Dental, we collaborate with leading dental laboratories to create custom ceramic crowns that are both precise and durable. These crowns are designed to closely resemble the natural appearance and function of your teeth. They are crafted to fully cover and restore the structure of a damaged tooth, fitting securely over the remaining enamel all the way down to the gum line after the tooth has been shaped and prepared.
