Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining titanium posts and crowns for natural function and appearance. Our team ensures precise placement using advanced imaging and techniques, promoting long-term oral health and confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide gel to break down stains, offering dramatic results in a single visit. Patients enjoy a brighter smile with lasting effects, enhanced by personalized aftercare guidance to maintain optimal results.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly with removable, custom aligners. Ideal for correcting misalignment, this treatment offers comfort, convenience, and confidence, with visible results in 12-18 months for most patients.
Bone Graft
Bone grafting restores jawbone density to support dental implants, using autogenous, allogenic, or xenogenic materials. This procedure ensures structural stability and long-term success for patients with bone loss due to trauma or disease.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth with durable, natural-looking caps. Custom-fitted to match adjacent teeth, they protect weakened teeth and improve aesthetics, providing both functional and cosmetic benefits.

Dr. Ghatnekar is an outstanding dentist and has an excellent bedside manner. My first visit to him was for an extraction. The process was painless all the way from injecting the anesthetic to suturing the bone graft in place to final recovery. He followed up after hours on the day of the extraction and on the following day to make sure I was pain free. Indeed I was. My second visit to him was about 6 months later for installing an implant in the opening left by the extracted tooth.
This again was a 5-Star experience with no pain whatsoever after the anesthetic had worn off. Dr. Ghatnekar followed up the same evening to check on my comfort level and to reiterate the precautions to keep infection out and get the inflammation down. His second call the day after the post had been put in place was comforting and reassuring. Today, his excellent assistant, Mina, who closely worked with him on both procedures removed the sutures with no discomfort and I now have the first part of the implant successfully in place. Thank you Dr. Ghatnekar.

Dr. Jeevan Ghatnekar is the best. The service is wonderful with a friendly staff. Had an implant done, didn't hurt and he took the time to call after hours to see how I was doing. Thank you!

My experience was very positive. Dr. Explained my procedure thoroughly, took as much time as I needed, to answer all of my questions, and did not rush. I was very pleased with the services he provided.

Thank you Dr. Ghatnekar for starting my braces! I appreciate the way you explained every step to me, and how gentle you were while working on my teeth. My overall experience was very comfortable physically and mentally as i got to watch Netflix while laid back and knowing exactly what was happening in my mouth as the braces were being placed. I greatly appreciate the friendly atmosphere starting with Tamara at the front desk along with Dr. G and his assistant! Thank you all for helping me feel comfortable and getting me started on straightening my teeth! Heres my first pic with braces! (And a lot of wax) lol

I finally started my implant process with Dr. Ghatnekar and have to say it was the best dental experience ever! I have a very busy schedule but they helped to accommodate all my challenges. Once I was in the office, I always felt calm, cool and collectives because of the confidence the whole team displayed. The many steps of the implant process were very easy and dare I say, pain free. I now look forward to my final visit which will be the day I get back my whole pearly white smile back in place. If you are considering visiting Dr. Ghatnekar, I would wholeheartedly recommend his office for your dental procedure. I promise you will be very satisfied with your experience.
