About Dr. Lalchandani

He is a past director of the American Cancer Society and the MSPCC Children’s Protective Services, and is currently an active member of the Mass Dental Society, the Valley District Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Dental Association.

Preventive and Diagnostic
Preventive and diagnostic services are designed to head off dental issues before they occur:
- Dental Cleanings - A dental cleaning is a preventative health measure that should be scheduled with a trained dental hygienist twice a year. This removes difficult to remove plaque and tartar from teeth and gums.
- Dental Exams - Regularly scheduled dental exams can help to detect dental issues early before they escalate to requiring complex dental treatments. It can also spot the signs of oral cancers.
- Custom Mouthguards - Custom mouthguards can be used to protect teeth and orthodontic work while participating in sports.
- Night Guards - Dental night guards can help to stop the damage from tooth grinding.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative services are designed to save a tooth that has developed problems:
- Dental Fillings - Dental fillings stop dental decay from advancing by removing decayed parts of teeth and filling cavities with a special composite material.
- Dental Crowns - A dental crown can help preserve a tooth that has been badly decayed and requires a root canal. It is also used in a variety of other dental procedures, including on top of dental implants.
- Root Canals - A root canal removes bacteria and decay from an infected tooth root, where the infected pulp is carefully removed and the inside of the tooth is disinfected and sealed.
Tooth Replacement
Tooth replacement options are available for teeth that are too badly damaged or decayed to be saved:
- Dentures - Dentures can be an effective and affordable solution for patients who are missing many teeth or suffer from very advanced, widespread tooth decay.
- Dental Implants - Dental implants are a permanent natural tooth replacement that can last a lifetime. The implant is placed directly into the jawbone and helps to preserve natural tooth spacing and function.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves the look of teeth that are healthy but unsightly:
Veneers - Dental veneers can dramatically improve the look of your smile with thin coverings that the dentist places over the front of teeth. Many celebrities rely on dental veneers to create a picture-worthy and youthful smile.
- Teeth Whitening - Professional teeth whitening can deliver better results than at-home teeth whitening kits that you can purchase over the counter. Often professional teeth whitening lasts longer, too.
