Diagnostic

Dental Examination
From a routine exam and cleaning to full-mouth rehabilitation, Sonrisa Family Dental is equipped to handle all of your dental needs. To help you understand more about our office, we have included brief descriptions of some of our most common services on this page.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Your first visit to our office is very important with regard to establishing your oral health baseline. We will begin by carefully reviewing your medical and dental history and taking special note of all of your dental concerns, as well as any symptoms that you may be experiencing. This will be followed by a thorough clinical examination of your teeth, their supporting structures and the complete orofacial area; this involves the taking of x-rays as well as direct evaluation of the oral cavity by the dentist. Further examination would include an oral cancer screening, periodontal (gum) evaluation, an analysis of your occlusion (bite).

Preventive

Teeth Cleaning
The dentists at Sonrisa Family Dental emphasize a preventative approach to dental care. This is an especially important function for children. Providing the proper instructions for brushing and flossing, and regularly checking the health of patientâ€™s gums and teeth, is an excellent way to spot dental conditions early on, before they have the chance to develop into issues that are more complicated to treat. This is a wise method of providing dental care, advised by the American Dental Association, and helps to spare many of our patients the additional expense of various invasive procedures. Coming in just two times a year for checkups and teeth cleanings allows our dentists to perform the critical preventive care our patients need.
Fluoride Treatment
As part of an effort to guard against childhood dental decay we recommend periodic fluoride treatments and dental sealants placed on the biting surfaces of the back teeth.
Dental Sealants
Additional preventive services may be indicated for individual patients. An integral part of our preventive program for pediatric patients includes periodic fluoride treatments and the application of dental sealants.

Restorative

Fillings
Veneers
Porcelain veneers, sometimes called tooth veneers, can be used to correct both color and shape of teeth which make for a great smile makeover.
Crowns
Our dental office near Brighton Park, IL also welcomes patients with dental emergencies. Whether you are suffering from a toothache, dental infection, chipped or cracked tooth, jaw pain, or have a cracked crown or bridge, our emergency dentist in Brighton Park, IL is prepared for you, and will do everything possible to provide prompt care. With regular hours from Monday through Saturday, getting in to see one of our specialists shouldn't be a problem. Offering sedation options for patients with dental anxiety or phobia, our staff is committed to keeping you at ease and out of pain during your visit.
Bridges
When teeth are missing a series of events can occur, mostly shifting of teeth that could compromise chewing function and efficiency. The adjacent teeth may start to drift or tilt into the space and teeth in the opposing jaw may start to shift toward the area of the missing tooth. It is therefore important to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth that have been lost. One of the best options to prevent the consequences of shifting teeth and to provide replacement to missing teeth is a dental bridge.
Dental Bonding
Also, as explained before treatment, teeth whitening procedures do not change the color of existing fillings, crowns, bridgework, or dental bonding. If this issue presents an aesthetic concern, we can discuss replacing a restoration.

Endodontics

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a space within the toothâ€™s root. Some teeth have 2-3 roots. Within this space is nerve and a blood supply termed the â€œpulpâ€ which is the soft inner tissue that plays an important role during the tooth's development. Once a tooth is fully mature, the tooth can survive without the pulp because the tooth is nourished by tissues surrounding it and no longer needs to grow or develop. The pulp is normally surrounded and protected by a layer of â€œdentinâ€ which is protected by the enamel, the whitish outer coating of your tooth that is visible to the eye and provides protection.Â

Periodontics

Deep Cleaning
Because you’ve just had a deep cleaning to remove bacterial plaque and tartar beneath the gumline; you may experience some sensitivity to cold and hot food or beverages as well as some soreness and residual bleeding around the gums. This type of discomfort is to be expected and should subside within a day or two. While it’s not typically necessary, our office will recommend over-the-counter pain medication as needed. If any excessive bleeding is present, or your sensitivity worsens, contact our office.

Prosthodontics

Dentures
There are severalÂ types of dentures that depends on a patientâ€™s needs. Dentures are based on the amount of natural teeth remaining in the mouth to support them or if there are no teeth present.Â Dentures are also classified on the types of materials used to fabricate them. Â
Overdentures

Implants

Dental Implants
It is imperative that the dentist performing the implant be experienced and skilled in all the proper techniques of implant dentistry. When done successfully, an implant will result in a comfortable and natural looking tooth, thereby providing a permanent solution to a missing tooth.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Gum Surgery
Left untreated, gingivitis can escalate into periodontitis. However, there are other factors that can contribute to the escalation of periodontal disease, including smoking, genetic tendencies, and unchecked diabetes. In either case, when periodontal disease has progressed to a more advanced stage there is usually clinical and radiographic evidence of damage to the bone and soft tissues supporting the teeth. Periodontal treatment in this phase is designed to halt the progression of the disease and to restore tooth support as possible. This may involve medications to control the bacteria and reduce the size of the pockets between the teeth and gums, gum surgery, as well as bone and tissue grafts.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction or removal is indicated for various reasons. Extractions are commonly performed in cases where a deciduous â€œbabyâ€ tooth is reluctant to fall out, a severely broken down and non-restorable tooth is present, or â€œwisdom toothâ€ is poorly positioned and unable to fully erupt into place. Extractions can also be apart of an orthodontistâ€™s treatment plan where crowding of teeth is an issue and removing a tooth would create more space.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics
Dr. Amitoj Singh Mehta completed his dental education in India, and then attended University of Illinois at Chicago for his Doctorate in Dental Surgery. He also completed his orthodontic residency at UIC, obtaining a specialty license in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.

Braces
