He or she can tell you whether whitening procedures would be effective for you. We often have exciting promotions to make this cosmetic treatment more affordable. Is Whitening For You? Whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellowish hued teeth will probably bleach well, brownish-colored teeth may bleach less well, and grayish-hued teeth may not bleach well at all. If you have had bonding or tooth-colored fillings placed in your front teeth the whitener will not affect the color of these materials, and they will stand out in your newly whitened smile. You may want to investigate other options, like porcelain veneers or dental bonding. If you are a candidate for whitening, Deccan Dental offers a few ways to whiten your smile: In-Office Bleaching This procedure is called chairside bleaching and usually requires only one office visit. The dentist will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber shield to protect the oral soft tissues. A bleaching agent is then applied to the teeth, and a special light may be used. At-Home Bleaching Peroxide-containing whiteners actually bleach the tooth enamel. They typically come in a gel and are placed in a mouth tray. We will take impressions of your mouth to make customized whitening trays. Once the trays are ready, you will return to the office for a demonstration and instructions on use. There are potential side effects, such as increased sensitivity or gum irritation. Whitening Toothpastes All toothpastes help remove surface stain through the action of mild abrasives. “Whitening” toothpastes in the ADA Seal of Acceptance program have special chemical or polishing agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Unlike bleaches, these ADA Accepted products do not change the color of teeth because they can only remove stains on the surface.

Every member of staff will receive training in all aspects of infection control, including decontamination of dental instruments and equipment, as part of their induction program and through regular update training, at least annually. Although the principles of infection control remain unchanged, we perform a continuous evaluation of our current infection-control practices to include the use of new technologies, materials, equipment, and data .

We have developed and implemented policies and procedures to include safeguards for confidentiality and unauthorized access to electronically stored record, authentication by electronic signature keys, and systems maintenance. Original hard copies of patient records are destroyed once the record has been electronically stored. The printout of the computerized version shall be considered the original.  Patient access:  Upon presentation of a written request, a patient or patient’s representative has the right to inspect the patient’s records. We may ask payment for reasonable clerical costs incurred in locating and making the records available. A patient or patient’s representative is also entitled to a copy of the patient’s record, once a written request is presented to the office. All reasonable costs incurred by the our office to provide the copies may be charged to the patient. This includes the cost of copying x-rays.  Retention & Disposal:  Records are kept for seven years if the patient is inactive or is discharged. Records of un-emancipated minors are kept at least one year after the minor has reached the age of 18 years, and in any case, not less than seven years. Confidentiality Policy At this practice, the need for the strict confidentiality of personal information about patients is taken very seriously. All members of the practice team must comply with the safeguards in place as a part of their contract of employment or contract for services with the practice.

We also offer implant-supported dentures. Complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance. Most dentures are made of acrylic. There are few variations in the type of acrylic used ranging from the standard to high impact acrylics. Partial dentures may be made entirely of a flexible plastic but often have a metal substructure with metal clasps that help hold it in place. Ask your dentist about other esthetic alternatives. Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The Complete Denture And Partial Denture Procedure Dentures and partials take several appointments to fabricate. Expect to return to our clinic at least 3 to 4 times before your final prosthesis is ready. At the initial diagnostic appointment we will take impressions of your mouth to make molds. Following that you will return for a more detailed impressions, recording of your bite, a try in of your teeth to approve esthetics and function and finally for the delivery of the final acrylic denture or partial Schedule your Appointment today Call     (650) 212-3500 Text     (650) 910-2301 EMAIL: [email protected] Testimonial s "I’ve been a patient of Deccan Dental for several years and I’ve always been well taken care of by the dentists, dental hygienists, and office team" Kathleen H.

Gum disease can cause the loss of bone around your teeth and once bone is lost, it\’s gone forever. There are various stages of gum disease and it is best to treat the problem as early on as possible. All our dentists periodically check your gum health to make sure both you and us are doing everything we can to keep them healthy. Gum disease is what happens when bacteria gets below the gum line and the attachment between the gum and tooth is lost. Gum disease is a silent and chronic bacterial infection that often goes undetected or ignored until severe gum and bonedestruction is unbearable and no longer able to be ignored. Left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth mobility and tooth loss. Three out of four Americans have some form of periodontal disease and only 3 out of 100 will ever get treated before it’s too late. Gingivitis Red, swollen gums that bleed easily are generally a sign of gingivitis. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that can usually be reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. This form of gum disease can progress to a more aggressive type that could include loss of bone and tissue that hold teeth in place. Periodontitis When gingivitis is left untreated, it often advances to “periodontitis”. Here the attachment of the gums to the teeth is affected creating spaces around your teeth called “pockets”. Pockets can range in depth and are usually the site of infection . If not treated, the bones, gums, and tissue that support the teeth are destroyed. The teeth may eventually become loose and have to be removed. Periodontal Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planning) If you have periodontitis and the “pockets” around your teeth are significant your dentist will institute a gum health regimen that included a deep cleaning, irrigation of the pockets with antiseptic rinse, placement of medications like “Arestin” in the pockets and specific at home care methods. This procedure generally takes two visits and requires that you received local anesthetic in the area being cleaned. If the disease is very aggressive and does not respond to the treatments above me may recommend you see a specialist for further treatment that may include surgical pocket reduction.

Do you ever feel like no matter how long you sleep, it’s not enough? Does your bed partner complain about your snoring? Are you dozing off in the afternoon or feel like you always need to take a nap? Do you just hate your CPAP machine?  Dr. Nanjapa is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and cis specially trained to a make a custom-fitted oral appliance. Patients enjoy it because it’s comfortable, easy to wear, quiet, portable, convenient for travel and easy to clean Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) OAT is an effective, non-invasive treatment option for  snoring  and  Obstructive Sleep Apnea  (OSA) It is now recommended as a first line treatment for patients with snoring, mild-moderate Sleep Apnea and for all patients (including severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea patients) who cannot tolerate to use the CPAP machine. An oral appliance looks like an orthodontic retainer and is worn only during sleep. It supports the jaw in a forward position to help keep your upper airway open, which prevents Sleep Apnea and snoring.  Don’t Snooze on Sleep Apnea Warning Signs What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)? OSA is a chronic condition affecting at least 54 million adults in the United states. OSA occurs when your muscles relax during sleep, allowing soft tissue to collapse and block the airway. This can cause you to stop breathing hundreds of times per night for anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute at a time. These breathing pauses are followed by brief awakenings that disturb the quality of your sleep and often causes these symptoms Snoring (can be a symptom of OSA but not everyone who snores has a sleep disorder) Waking in the morning feeling unrefreshed  Being tired during the day  Morning headaches  Waking up frequently at night to go to the bathroom  Difficulty concentrating or remembering things  Although Sleep Apnea can occur at any age, the risk increases as you get older. Other factors that increase the risk of Sleep Apnea include having excess body weight, a narrow airway, a recessed chin or misaligned jaw.  How is OSA Diagnosed? Unsure if you have OSA, Deccan Dental can help guide you in the right direction .  If you suspect, you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea you should ask your primary caredoctor for a sleep evaluation. A sleep evaluation may involve either an overnight sleep test at a sleep center or a home Sleep Apnea test (HSAT) The information from the evaluation and the sleep test results will be used to determine if you have OSA. Treatment can be surgical or non-surgical depending on the cause. Your physician and dentist will determine if an Oral Appliance is the preferred treatment of choice.  Sleep apnea treatment is billed through medical insurance , not dental. Our team will verify your benefits and handle claim submissions for most major medical plans, and we are in-network with Medicare for qualifying cases. Since sleep apnea is a medical condition, many plans—including Medicare—may provide coverage for oral appliance therapy when criteria are met. For all other dental services, we are in-network with PPO and Premier dental insurance plans .

Deccan Dental Origins “It is impossible not to be astonished by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues.” ~ A Rough Guide To India Nanjapa named his practice “Deccan Dental” as an homage to his roots. He was born in India and lived most of his childhood in its southern peninsula of which the Deccan Plateau is a large part. The name “Deccan” is der ived from the Sanskrit word “ दक्षिण ” (dakshin) meaning “south”. It covers at least 8 Indian States and is located between three stupendous mountain ranges, the Eastern Ghats (Sahyadri), the Western Ghats (Mahendra) and the Blue Mountain (Nilgiris) where they meet at the Doda Beta peak. The southern plateau is r ich in eco and cultural diversity and offers striking contrasts in respect of race, language and social customs of the north.

When bacteria reside in the grooves or broken facets of your teeth they begin to produce chemicals and acids that degrade and break down tooth structure. The process of degradation is called “decay”. The longer the bacteria are left undisturbed the more the damage will progress eventually leading to further tooth fracture or the need for root canal treatments. If your dentist identifies an area of decay, we will treatment plan the tooth for a filling. This process involves removing the decayed tooth structure until only healthy tooth structure remains. This is followed by replacement of the lost tooth structure with a filling material like a composite resin. Composite Resin Fillings (Tooth-Colored Fillings) Composite fillings are the preferred filling material at Deccan Dental. Composite is a mixture of acrylic resin and powdered glass-like particles that produce a tooth-colored filling. There are many advantages to tooth-colored restorations: Resin fillings are usually completed in a single visit. The resin material is bonded to the teeth creating a tight, superior fit to the natural tooth. The fillings are durable, tissue compatible, and kind to the opposing teeth. Resin fillings allow us to preserve the greatest amount of natural tooth structure. Most importantly, color and shading can be matched to the existing tooth. Replacing Silver Fillings With A Tooth-Colored Restoration It is your decision whether or not to replace any old silver fillings however our dentists will evaluate your existing silver fillings and give your our recommendations.

When a tooth is fractured or weakened by root canal treatment often a filling will not give it enough support. In such cases the tooth will be treatment planned to receive a full coverage crown. A crown is like a cap, it fits snugly over your tooth and is attached in place using a type of permanent cement. A crown may need to be replaced if it fractures or your underlying tooth develops decay. It is important to maintain very good oral hygiene around a crown and have your dentist check it at each periodic visit. Crown Procedure The treatment usually takes two or three appointments to complete. First Appointment At the first appointment one of our highly trained dentists will prepare the teeth on by removing a portion of the enamel and dentin. It is necessary to remove some tooth structure to be able to create a space for the crown materials so that it is the same size as the original teeth. We always try to be as conservative as possible during this procedure. A detailed impression of the prepared teeth and arch are taken and sent to a lab where the bridge will be fabricated. A temporary crown made of acrylic resin will be placed and cemented. You will receive care instructions as temporary crowns can be quite fragile. Second Appointment At the second appointment the temporary crown is removed and the final bridge is seated. A visual, tactile and radiographic exam is used to verify the fit. You will also have a chance to approve the esthetics and fit of the crown. Following that the crown is cemented. What Materials Are Used? Crowns can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Porcelain is often bonded to either precious or non-precious metal.

However regular visits to Deccan Dental for a professional cleaning will remove calculus and plaque in places your toothbrush and floss have missed. Your visit to our office is an important part of your program to prevent gum disease. Your dentist will discuss a oral hygiene regimen that best fits your needs. While most patients are seen every 6 months for a routine cleaning, based on the health of your gums we may recommend more frequent cleanings. Plaque Dental plaque is a biofilm, of colonizing bacteria, usually pale yellow in color. It develops naturally on the teeth. Calculus Calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque. When plaque is not brushed away there is accumulation of minerals from saliva that harden the plaque. Its rough surface provides an ideal medium for further plaque formation, threatening the health of the gums. What To Expect on Your First Visit? At your first visit you will be greeted by our warm staff and requested to fill out the registration and health history forms. Once registered we will take appropriate x-rays and a photo of you. The rest of your appointment will be primarily with the dentist and should last about 1 hour. The Dentist will perform a thorough examination of your entire mouth, including an oral cancer screening and an exam of the supporting structure of your teeth. The doctor will explain all of the findings to you, and show you the x-rays and any pictures of your mouth that are taken. You will have plenty of time to discuss your treatment needs or desires. We want to give you all of the information needed to help you make educated decisions about your mouth. Before you leave we will make every effort possible to provide you a treatment plan that includes an estimate of your co-pays and what your dental insurance will cover. Our focus is on getting to know you and your dental needs, but if time permits we will have your teeth cleaned too.

By capturing digital records and utilizing advanced technology, we analyze your facial aesthetics to determine the optimal location for your smile lines and facial profile. Our approach ensures that your new smile will not only enhance your appearance, but also improve function and structure. With careful digital planning, we’re able to ensure that every aspect of your treatment is predictable and minimally invasive. We understand the importance of a comfortable and natural-feeling smile, so we offer test drives during the planning phase to ensure your satisfaction. Appointments We believe in a minimally invasive approach to shaping teeth for veneers or crowns. After the initial shaping, we provide you with temporary veneers or crowns for you to wear. This allows you to provide feedback and make any necessary adjustments before the final delivery of your new smile. Once you are happy with the temporary restorations, we take a final digital scan of your teeth so that our master ceramists can work their magic. They use advanced layering techniques and the highest quality ceramic materials to create restorations that mimic the natural beauty of your teeth. We pride ourselves on partnering with some of the top cosmetic labs in California to ensure we deliver maximum strength, functionality, and aesthetics. When your permanent restorations are ready, we remove the temporaries and fit the permanent restorations to your teeth. We use the latest bonding techniques to ensure that your restorations properly integrate with your teeth and gums, providing you with a beautiful and long-lasting smile.

It attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges), or they can be removable. Fixed Dental Bridge Procedure The treatment usually takes two or three appointments to complete. Second Appointment At the second appointment the temporary bridge is removed and the final bridge is seated. A visual, tactile and radiographic exam is used to verify the fit. You will also have a chance to approve the esthetics and fit of the bridge. Following that the bridges are cemented. What Materials Are Used? Bridges can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Porcelain is often bonded to either precious or non-precious meta First Appointment At the first appointment one of our highly trained dentists will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing a portion of the enamel and dentin. It is necessary to remove some tooth structure to be able to create a space for the bridge materials so that it is the same size as the original teeth. We always try to be as conservative as possible during this procedure. A detailed impression of the prepared teeth and arch are taken and sent to a lab where the bridge will be fabricated. A temporary bridge made of acrylic resin will be placed and cemented. You will receive care instructions as temporary bridges can be quite fragile. Fixed bridges are cemented or bonded into place and can only be removed by a dental professional. Removable bridges on the other hand can be taken out and cleaned or adjusted. They hold on to your natural teeth with clasps or by precision attachments. Fixed bridges do offer more stability than their removable counterparts.

Your dentist will evaluate the tooth in question for the need of a root canal. Based on the complexity of the treatment we make decide to refer you to a specialist. Sometimes treatment by a specialist is in your best interest to help minimize complications. Why Would You Need A Root Canal? In the middle of your tooth and running down its root are blood vessels and nerves housed in a pulp chamber and root canal. Infection or inflammation of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or other dental procedures. Teeth with infected pulp can cause varying degrees of pain and are usually not responsive to other conservative treatments. Often the infection might present itself as a draining fistula or a pimple on your gum in front of your tooth. Other symptoms include pain that keeps you up at night, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold and pain on biting that stays for 10 seconds or longer. How Is A Root Canal Performed? This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Do I Need A Crown After Root Canal Treatment? In most cases we recommend a full coverage restoration like a crown to protect the tooth from fracture. Your dentist will advise you regarding the need for such a restoration.

The Titanium root shaped implant acts a tooth root substitute. Once it integrates with your natural bone to form a stable foundation, it will look and feel like your permanent natural teeth. In fact dental implants help preserve the surrounding bone and as such the integrity of the facial structures. Dental Implant Procedure Consult With The Restorative Dentist Here at Deccan Dental one of our highly trained dentists will evaluate and determine if you are a good candidate for an implant. Once we have made our initial determination we will seek a second opinion from the implant surgeon. Consult With Implant Surgeon | Periodontist At this appointment the specialist will confirm our diagnosis and will make further determinations using specialized x-rays and diagnostic tools. Based on their evaluation they will advise on further treatment and plan for the implant placement. Implant Placement The specialist will place your dental implants. This is generally an uncomplicated procedure done under local anesthesia. We recommend a healing period of 4 to 6 months. Occasionally you may be a candidate for placement of an immediate temporary crown. Implant Crown Placement Following healing the next step begins. This is generally a two-step procedure that involves making an impression and mold for the laboratory to fabricate a crown that is custom shaded and fit for your mouth. Once the crown is returned ready from the lab we will schedule you back in our office for the final placement. By choosing to place an implant over other traditional treatment options you could spare your adjacent teeth from being ground down for a bridge or for clasps to hold a partial denture. Dental implants have greater longevity than bridges and partials and spare you from the many problems associated with false teeth. With dental implants you should be able to eat virtually anything and smile with confidence knowing that your teeth appear as natural as they could.
