Digital X-Rays

Dr. Hetal Rana, D.D.S. uses digital radiography to closely examine your teeth and supporting structure to help quickly diagnose and treat any developing problems. Dental x-rays are also used in planning any treatment that may be needed, such as oral surgery procedures, root canals, dental implants, and more. To set up your next appointment with us, please contact Rana Dental at 916-774-4499.

Digital x-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use here at Rana Dental to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental x-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable, and more convenient than ever before. Digital x-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film x-rays by using a digital sensor to take high-quality images of your teeth. Dr. Rana can instantly view the images on the monitors that are in the treatment suite to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnosis and care.

Dr. Rana and her team are able to use digital radiography to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:

Decay between teeth
Fractures in exiting fillings
Cysts and abscesses
Infections in the tooth nerves
Developmental abnormalities
Improper tooth root positioning
Tumors

Laser Dentistry

Rana Dental features laser dentistry to provide you with more comfortable treatments and added oral health benefits. Dental lasers are safe, effective, and procedures often have a quicker healing time compared to when only traditional dental tools are used. To find out more about laser dentistry, contact us at 916-774-4499.

There are many benefits of laser dentistry. Many treatments completed with a dental laser do not require the use of anesthetic and are very comfortable. Dental lasers shorten both treatment and healing time and they decrease the risk of infection that could possibly occur following treatment. In addition, lasers minimize bleeding during and after treatment. Because dental lasers are very precise, we are able to treat the targeted area without affecting nearby healthy tissues.

At Rana Dental, we recommend using laser dentistry for many treatments, such as:

Treating periodontal disease by removing bacteria and infected tissue
Treating cold sores and canker sores
Re-contouring the gum line

At Rana Dental in Roseville, California, we are dedicated to always provide you with the best possible dental care.

Periodontal Maintenance

If you have periodontal disease and have completed your treatment, Dr. Hetal Rana, D.D.S. recommends an ongoing treatment plan with regular visits for periodontal maintenance. Periodontal maintenance helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy and prevents the return of gum disease. Dr. Rana is pleased to provide periodontal maintenance to treat periodontal disease and prevent the serious effects of the conditions. To schedule your appointment with one of our hygienists at Rana Dental in Roseville, California, call us at 916-774-4499.

If your gums are tender, red, swollen, or bleed easily, you may suffer from periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a degenerative condition caused by bacteria in plaque that accumulates on the teeth. When left untreated, periodontal disease can result in the loss of teeth, gum tissue, and bone. While gum disease is not curable, we can treat the condition and keep it under control to protect your oral health.

Periodontal maintenance involves visiting our practice on a regular basis, typically once every three months, for a professional cleaning. It is recommended to been done every three months because when the biofilm is not removed, the periodontal bacteria begin to flourish within three to twelve weeks. With regular cleanings at three months, we are able to remove these bacteria and keep the condition under control. During your periodontal maintenance appointment, our hygienists will clean above and below the gum line, removing plaque, dental calculus (tartar), and bacteria to prevent the condition from worsening.

To learn more about periodontal maintenance or to schedule your next appointment with one of our hygienists, please feel free to contact our dental practice at 916-774-4499.

Periodontal Treatment

Are your gums red, swollen, and bleed easily? If so, you may have periodontal disease. Dr. Hetal Rana, D.D.S. provides treatments for periodontal disease to help stop the progression and restore oral health. If you would like to learn more about gum disease treatment options or to schedule an appointment with one of our hygienists, contact us at 916-774-4499.

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a degenerative condition primarily caused by bacteria found in plaque. Bacteria causes inflammation and infection in gum tissues. When left untreated, periodontal disease can result in bone loss, tooth loss, and gum tissue recession. Following an exam at our dental practice, Dr. Rana and her team will be able to determine whether you suffer from periodontal disease.

Common signs of periodontal disease include:

Red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed easily
Loose teeth
Painful chewing
Persistent bad breath
Receding gum lines

The treatment for gum disease is based upon your specific needs. Depending on the severity of the condition, Dr. Rana may recommend additional professional dental cleanings, improved at-home oral hygiene, antibiotic treatment, scaling and root planing, or gum surgery.

Root Canal Therapy

When the pulp of your tooth is damaged, inflamed, and infected, Dr. Hetal Rana, D.D.S. can provide you with a root canal. Root canal treatments can save your tooth and restore it to full function, enabling you to enjoy your natural tooth for years to come. To schedule your appointment with Dr. Rana, contact our office at 916-774-4499.

Endodontic therapy, commonly known as a root canal treatment, is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This may occur if an injury or decay reaches the deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel layer. If left untreated, the infection may cause the tooth to die and require the tooth to be extracted. To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for an extraction, Dr. Rana will first start by removing the infected and injured tissue from within the tooth. After the removal of the infected tissue, the tooth will then be cleaned and filled with a medicated material. Lastly, the tooth will be capped with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two visits to our office.

Endodontic therapy has a reputation for being a painful treatment; however, root canals can often be completed with minimal discomfort, thanks to advanced techniques, tools, and anesthesia. Dr. Rana, along with her dental team, works hard to provide you with a pleasant, comfortable experience each time you visit Rana Dental in Roseville, California. To find out more about root canal therapy or to schedule an appointment, please feel to contact our office at 916-774-4499. We are committed to restoring your smile’s health!

Tooth Extractions

If your tooth is severely decayed or diseased, Dr. Hetal Rana, D.D.S. will perform a tooth extraction to help protect your remaining teeth. To find out more about tooth extractions or to schedule an appointment, please feel free to contact Rana Dental in Roseville, California at 916-774-4499.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. Dr. Rana strives to avoid the need to remove a tooth whenever possible; however, certain conditions may make the tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function. If needed, following a tooth extraction, we are happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty, and function.

There are several conditions that may require a root canal, such as:

Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure.
Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible.
Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth.

Dr. Rana uses great care and skill when performing a tooth extraction to ensure that your dental experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. At Rana Dental, our team will provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions, so that you can properly take care of your smile as it heals.
