If you are facing cosmetic issues, then the dentist will design, fit, and insert a custom set of veneers over your already existing teeth, and you can get a perfect smile instantly! If the dental issues you are facing are more cosmetic, then you can go for veneers. However, the dentist will do a full dental checkup and make sure that there are no other dental problems, like cavities that need attention.

In both ways, you can achieve a beautiful and long-lasting solution to your dental problem. A bridge is just what it sounds like - a bridge that is placed over the space left by a missing tooth, which helps in supporting on either end by the neighboring teeth. Whether fixed or removable, a bridge is considered a successful option to bring back a complete smile.

Excellent quality of treatment combined with the best amenities while you undergo treatment makes our practice one of the best and most-preferred ones in the area. Many patients get nervous at the very thought of visiting a dentist. This is due to the wrong assumption that the treatment procedures are often painful and would require the use of injections.

They can help in identifying different types of dental issues that might be related to teeth, gums, or bone. These low radiation digital x-rays make the procedure much safer and more precise in evaluating the dental health of a patient. At Lena D. Karkalas, DDS Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, our priorities include your comfort, which is why we choose low radiation digital radiography methods.

read moreI've tried a few dentist office's looking for the "perfect" one as my childhood dentist office had closed and I would definitely say this one is the most personable and friendly of all of them! It always feels like they genuinely want to understand you as a patient and are willing to talk about procedures pros and cons so you can make good decisions about your dental health. They make a "health chore" (as I like to call it) less of one. I highly recommend this dentist office! Dr. Karkalas is the 2nd or 3rd dentist we've seen in the Providence area, and by far the best!
