Advanced Technologies & Systems We Utilize:
Digital Technology
Digital x-rays are a fast and comfortable way for us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs, and they emit up to 90% less radiation! We employ Digital imaging as well, to show you your new and improved smile before treatment even begins. Digital technology also requires no chemical processing, so it’s easy on you and the environment, too.
Dental Implant Restorations
If you or someone you love struggles with ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures or retainers with false teeth, Dr. Shetty and our Dental Designs team have a solution for you. We can give your smile a second chance through dental implant restorations. Implants resolve the practical and social problems associated with dentures, stabilizing them for a more comfortable fit and a more natural look and feel. They preclude cavities in restored teeth, can help avoid the need for root canal therapy, and healthy implants can even prevent bone loss.
In addition to denture stabilizing, implants can be used in some crown and bridge applications, as well as single-tooth replacements. Call us to find out more about how this wonderful option in restorative dentistry could help you chew, talk, and smile with confidence again.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Whiter teeth not only provide the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile—a bright smile enhances your confidence and self-esteem, too. As a bonus, professional teeth whitening can lead to healthier teeth, because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking terrific. We offer both convenient take home whitening solutions (with custom trays) and powerful in-office ZOOM! Whitening. Ask us about your options at your next visit.
Straight Teeth in Only 6 Months with Six Month Smiles™
Many adults with crooked or spaced teeth are unhappy with their smiles, but they don’t want to wear traditional metal braces for 2-3 years. Dr. Shetty is pleased to offer patients an alternative! Thanks to the Six Month Smiles™ system, adults (15 years and older) can smile bigger, brighter, and more confidently than ever after wearing braces for only six months! How is this possible? Six Month Smiles employs the latest techniques in dentistry to enable Dr. Shetty to move your teeth quickly, safely, and without all the metal of traditional braces. Here’s how:
- Six Month Smiles focuses on the teeth that show when you smile, so no significant changes are made to your bite. This allows for shorter treatment times that are still safe and relatively comfortable for patients.
- The accelerated treatment time doesn’t mean simply “tightening” regular braces to get the teeth moving faster. Six Month Smiles does utilize standard orthodontic mechanics, but with low force. Again, the emphasis is on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.
- Six Month Smiles Braces use very thin nickel titanium wires and clear or tooth-colored brackets, so they’re not very noticeable. What will be noticeable is your straight and more beautiful smile after treatment!

Invisalign®
If you think clear and removable braces sound perfect, a straight smile could be yours in no time with Invisalign®. Through a series of clear Aligners®, this comfortable and removable alternative to traditional braces straightens your teeth with noticeable results but without the noticeable bars and brackets of metal braces. The Aligners are changed approximately every two weeks to straighten your teeth step by step. and for your ease and convenience, the Aligners can be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth. Call today to schedule your orthodontic consultation.
Porcelain Veneers
A beautiful smile can change your life, no matter what age you are, but some smiles need more than just whitening. Regardless of whether your teeth are chipped, discolored, or misshapen, you could have a brilliant new smile in as few as two visits with porcelain veneers! Dr. Shetty and her team are pleased to provide this cosmetic breakthrough. Because veneers are thin, natural-looking, and require minimal tooth preparation, they are a small investment that can make a huge difference in the appearance of your smile. They can even protect your teeth from further damage. Almost anyone is a candidate for veneers, so ask your hygienist how veneers could work for you.
Drug-Free Headache Prevention
Suffering from chronic migraine or tension headaches? At Dental Designs, we can help get you the relief you need without prescription pain medication. Much of the pain you feel during the day could actually be caused by teeth grinding or jaw clenching that occurs while you sleep. Dr. Shetty constructs a custom device worn on your front teeth while you sleep that inhibits the muscle contractions commonly associated with headaches, allowing your jaw to relax. More restful nights lead to more pain-free days! For more information on this device (NTI),

We know how stressful life can be, and we believe that going to the dentist should—and can!--be a relaxing, worry-free experience. We offer complimentary beverages and aromatherapy in our reception area, music headphones and blankets in our treatment rooms, and excellent customer service, because we consider your comfort as important as your health.
