Preventative care isn’t limited to checkups. For example, fluoride treatments and sealants protect young teeth from cavities. Patients who grind or clench their teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism, may benefit from nightguards. Be sure to order custom-fit mouthguards for the athletes in your family.
Dental Sealants
For example, by lightly filing a tooth on one side and building it up on the other, your dentist can eliminate the gap from a gap-toothed grin. By adding thickeners to vary the consistency, dentists can use the resin-like clay to restore chipped or broken teeth or as a putty to fill cavities. In fact, worn or darkened “silver” fillings can be replaced with tooth-colored bonding materials that are indistinguishable from your natural tooth enamel. One type of resin is even used as a sealant to shield back teeth from decay.
Cosmetic Bonding, often called resin bonding, is when a tooth resin is bonded to your teeth, then sculpted into the proper shape. The resin is a composite resin forms a durable, stain-resistant surface that can be polished to mimic the texture of your natural teeth.
Veneers
Dr. Rajula Tandon can place custom-made porcelain veneers on front teeth to conceal chips, cracks, discoloration, slight misalignments, or gaps between teeth. Modern porcelain veneers reflect light similarly to tooth enamel to create a natural-looking, beautiful smile.
Crowns
If your smile is missing teeth, crown and bridgework is an available restorative option. Dr. Rajula Tandon work with fine dental labs that fabricate beautiful, lifelike prosthetics from the latest materials. A bridge is made from one or more prosthetic teeth attached in a row. The bridge is secured to two abutment crowns on either side of a smile’s gap.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
With advances in modern dentistry, there’s no reason you should be unhappy with the way your teeth look. Psychologists have proven that a beautiful smile enhances your personal appearance and improves your self-confidence. If you don’t like your teeth, cosmetic bonding may be for you!

At Just Smiles Dental, Dr. Rajula Tandon’s expertise, experience, and her practice’s state-of-the-art technology to perform full-mouth rehabilitation that encompasses every facet of your oral health.
Your teeth contain several layers: the outer protective enamel, a secondary layer of sensitive dentin, and an inner pulp that contains components commonly referred to as the “nerve” of the tooth. Each pulp chamber branches off, forming canals that lead toward the tooth root tip. These infamous root canals provide a means for the tooth to absorb what it needs from the blood and get rid of toxins or other unnecessary materials via the blood stream. A deep cavity, traumatic injury, or tooth fracture can make the canal susceptible to bacterial infection, which can kill the pulp, stimulate increased blood flow, and create pressure within the tooth. This can cause severe tooth pain and may initiate bone degeneration, tooth loss, and even more acute pain. If you see a dentist in the earliest stages of this condition, the tooth may be saved with a root canal. Otherwise, it should be extracted and replaced with a prosthetic.
Missing teeth negatively impact a patient’s diet, speech, and confidence. Dr. Rajula Tandon can restore your quality of life with a natural-looking denture or partial. The dentist may suggest implant-supported dentures for a secure fit with no slippage.
Decay, disease, and injury can destroy a smile. Dr. Rajula Tandon has the experience and expertise to change damaged dentition into a beautiful, healthy smile that functions well and feels fabulous.

A comprehensive consultation and analysis with Dr. Rajula Tandon will help determine if Invisalign clear orthodontic aligners are the right solution for you. You may be surprised to find out that you are a candidate for this revolutionary orthodontic treatment, even if you once believed that your teeth were too crooked to correct. Our team will talk with you about your goals, your expectations, and the various other treatments that may supplement your beautiful new smile. Ask us about Invisalign orthodontics at your next visit, or schedule an orthodontic consultation by calling our Branford dental office today.
Invisalign Orthodontics
The Invisalign process is relatively simple. Dr. Tandon will take a digital impression of your teeth using the latest in 3D dental technology for a perfect aligner fit. Over the course of your treatment, you will move up to the next set of teeth straightening trays every two weeks or so as the devices gradually shift your teeth into their proper places. When treatment is complete, you’ll enjoy a beautifully straight and symmetrically balanced smile that you’ll be proud to show off to the world.
Braces
One of the most obvious advantages of using Invisalign clear aligners rather than traditional braces is the aesthetic factor. While wire and bracket braces can look fine on younger children, the majority of adults and adolescents prefer a more natural look that isn’t marred by shiny metal in their mouths. Invisalign aligners are clear and practically unnoticeable, allowing you to smile freely as you undergo your orthodontic treatment.
