Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive dentistry services include comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, and oral cancer screenings. We emphasize early detection of dental issues through diagnostic x-rays and gum disease evaluations. Patients receive personalized education on brushing, flossing, and fluoride use to maintain optimal oral health. Regular check-ups help prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease while promoting overall wellness.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer smile makeovers using advanced cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign clear aligners. Our air abrasion technology provides minimally invasive options for restoring tooth structure. These procedures address discoloration, misalignment, and damaged teeth to create natural-looking, confidence-boosting smiles while maintaining dental functionality and long-term oral health.
Restorative Procedures
Our restorative services include composite fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants to repair damaged or missing teeth. Root canal therapy preserves natural teeth by treating infected pulp. We use durable, tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with existing dentition while restoring proper chewing function and preventing further dental complications through structural reinforcement.
Sedation Dentistry
We provide oral and intravenous sedation options to help anxious patients receive necessary dental treatments comfortably. Our sedation protocols ensure safe, controlled relaxation while maintaining patient responsiveness during procedures. This service benefits individuals with dental phobia, sensitive gag reflexes, or those requiring extensive treatments, making complex dental care more accessible and stress-free.
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services offer permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium root replacements. We perform surgical placements and restoration with crowns, bridges, or dentures that mimic natural tooth function. This treatment prevents bone loss, maintains facial structure, and provides stable, long-lasting replacements that look and feel like original teeth while improving speech and chewing ability.

I have been going to Dentistry by Design for many years, and am so happy with their care. Both dentists are wonderful, professional and expert in their field. It is always a pleasure to visit their office and have their care over the years. Staff, each one, plus Kathy, Susie, Wende, Mary are so very helpful and professional. It is a privilege to have their compassionate and wonderful care. I would recommended them! Super dental care!

A very nice helpful group of people who do their best to accommodate you in time of need. Dr. Rosenthal is the best dentist I have ever had. I have not been seen by any of the other dentists at Dentristy by Design but I'm sure they are very good too.

Best dentist I've ever been to. I used to not like going to dentists because I'm dental-phobic (if that's a term) but I've had a perfect experience with Dr. Anand the years I've been going there. He is the best and his staff is also top notch and friendly. I couldn't recommend them more.

I used to hate going to the dentist, almost PTSD like. Now I sometimes fall asleep in the chair. It blows me away! This office, Dr. Anand, the office staff, the hygienists are just the nicest, most accommodating dental staff I have ever come across. They seem to specialize, or at least are masters at, people who are squeamish about the dentist. They are friendly and I feel like I am getting excellent care there.

Dr. Anand has been seeing my family for 15 or more years. He is very pleasant and cooperative. His cleaners are the best?
