As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Mehta offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Crooked Teeth: General dentists identify crooked teeth and help determine the best course of action, which may include seeing an orthodontist for straightening or a specialist for other underlying issues.
- Crossbite: A crossbite is when your upper teeth don't properly overlap your lower teeth, and your dentist can help correct it with braces or other treatments.
- Dental Crowding: Dental crowding is when you have too many teeth for the available space, causing crookedness and potential bite problems; a general dentist can help manage crowding through various treatments.
- Dental Disorders: General dentists are trained to identify and manage a variety of dental disorders, ensuring proper oral hygiene and addressing issues like tooth decay or gum disease.
- Dental Spacing: Your dentist can help manage dental spacing, which is the distance between your teeth, by suggesting treatments like braces or other orthodontic options to improve alignment and bite.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Your dentist can evaluate gaps in your teeth to determine if they need treatment, whether for aesthetic reasons or to prevent further problems like food trapping or gum disease.
- Grinding of Teeth: If you suspect you're grinding your teeth, a visit to your dentist is important to assess any damage and create a plan to protect your teeth and prevent future issues.
- Malocclusion (Bad Bite): Malocclusion, or an incorrect bite alignment, can affect your facial appearance and oral health; your dentist can help correct this with various orthodontic options.
- Open Bite: Your dentist can diagnose and treat an open bite, a condition where your upper and lower teeth don't come together properly when you close your mouth.
- Underbite: An underbite happens when your lower jaw juts out further than your upper jaw, and a general dentist can help diagnose and recommend treatment options like braces or surgery.
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. Mehta offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Bite Adjustment: If your bite feels off or causes jaw pain, a bite adjustment can realign your teeth for better chewing and a more comfortable mouth.
- Removable Appliances: Some removable appliances are used temporarily to correct bite problems or guide the eruption of teeth.
- Retainer Therapy: After braces or other teeth-straightening treatments, retainer therapy uses retainers to hold your teeth in their new, aligned positions.
- Retainers: Retainers are used to hold teeth in place following treatment like braces or Invisalign, ensuring the long-term success of your orthodontic results.
- Laser Treatment for Dental Fillings: Laser technology can help improve the accuracy of fitting and placing fillings, potentially leading to a more durable restoration.
- Cone Beam 3D Imaging: Cone beam 3D imaging is a type of dental X-ray that provides detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, helping your dentist plan accurate treatments.
- Smile Makeovers: If you're unhappy with your smile's appearance, a makeover might involve teeth whitening, bonding, veneers, or orthodontics for a more confident look.
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. Mehta:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is directly connected to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is crucial 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. Mehta can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums should 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.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual inspection of your mouth, lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Mehta performs this important part of every routine dental exam, as early detection is key to successful treatment.
- 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 crucial for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, which can be caught and treated early. Our team can remove tartar buildup during these appointments.
- 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 natural, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Mehta can reline existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new denture if necessary. A proper fit is important for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of damage, while a crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is more severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
