As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Sayani offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tender Gums: Tender gums can indicate various issues, from poor brushing habits to more serious gum infections, all of which a general dentist can assess and address.
- Traumatic Dental Injuries: Your dentist is trained to manage injuries to the mouth and teeth, from sports accidents to falls, providing emergency care and restoration.
- Candidiasis of Mouth: Painful white patches or redness in your mouth might be oral candidiasis (thrush), a fungal infection that your dentist can diagnose and treat with appropriate antifungal therapies.
- Occlusal Disease: Your bite's alignment and function are crucial for oral health; occlusal disease involves problems in this area, often resulting in discomfort or damage, and your dentist can help correct these problems.
- Cavity: Cavities are damaged areas in your teeth caused by bacteria, and your dentist can restore your tooth's health with a filling.
- Worn Down Teeth: Worn teeth can lead to increased sensitivity, discomfort, and even tooth breakage; a general dentist can diagnose the problem and recommend solutions to prevent further damage and restore your smile.
- Dental Injury: Broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or injuries to your mouth are all considered dental injuries that your dentist can repair or manage.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Sayani offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Oral Cancer Screening: Regular oral cancer screenings are important because they can help detect cancer at a stage when it's often curable.
- Apicoectomy: This procedure involves removing the inflamed tissue at the end of a tooth's root to resolve a persistent infection and prevent further damage.
- Root Canal: When decay or trauma deeply affects a tooth, a root canal is performed to remove the infected pulp, disinfect the area, and fill it to prevent future infection.
- Arestin® Therapy: If you have gum disease, your dentist may use Arestin®, an antibiotic, to help reduce inflammation and bacteria around your teeth.
- Porcelain Crown: A porcelain crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
- Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to cavities.
- Upper Dentures: Upper dentures are custom-fitted to replace all of your upper teeth, offering a comfortable and natural-looking restoration.
Service availability can change. To understand which services are appropriate for your specific health needs, please schedule a consultation to develop a personalized care plan.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Sayani:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth and gums, but also your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Sayani can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Sayani, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Sayani.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. These visits are vital for preventing problems, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and identify issues like small cavities or gum disease early.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Sayani will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Sayani can reline the existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if the current ones are significantly worn. A proper fit is vital for comfortable eating and speaking.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious gum disease.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge that looks and feels like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
