Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens seeking orthodontic treatment without traditional braces. The process involves custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment over 12-18 months.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers enhance smiles by covering stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth. This cosmetic solution provides a natural, durable finish. The procedure requires minimal enamel removal and two visits for preparation and placement.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options reduce dental anxiety for nervous patients. Techniques range from oral sedatives to nitrous oxide. Patients remain conscious but relaxed during procedures like fillings, extractions, or root canals.
LANAP Laser Treatment
LANAP treats periodontal disease with laser technology. This FDA-cleared method removes infected tissue without scalpels. Benefits include faster healing, reduced bleeding, and preservation of healthy gum structure.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology creates custom crowns in one visit. Digital impressions replace traditional molds. The process takes 1-2 hours, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments.

Carrie, the receptionist needs a break or something. Rude. Short answers. "Do everything online and then we'll talk to you". Just trying to make sure before I fill out papers that my family of FOUR would be able to be seen in 2022. If that wasn't possible then I didn't want to waste everyone's time. My goodness. I'm sorry that this unpleasant woman is the face of your practice.

Excellent workmanship! Dr. Desai installed a crown, filled a cavity and repaired a chipped tooth and all of the work fit seemlessly with my my existing teeth. My bite and teeth feel like they always did. Nothing to get used to, just a great fit and finish. I'm glad I had the work done and would highly recommend Granby Dental Center.

I have had the best experience with this dental office and their dentist. I have been using Dr Lapowski and have never met a kinder or more talented dentist in my 50 years of visiting different offices. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is super kind and accommodating. Rates are reasonable, and I have never got the impression that they are trying to drum up business. They really are all about the patient. I couldn't recommend an office and dentist more.

The best around, hands down! These are the kindest, & all around most qualified people I've ever dealt with. They're gentle and explain everything you need to know. If you look around, everything is state of the art equipment. Extremely clean and organized and Staff treats you like family.

Dr. Desai placed bonding material on my lower front teeth to prevent further wear on the top edge of each tooth. She and her assistant worked quickly and efficiently to perform the procedure in a comforting manner for me. Most importantly Dr. Desai returned my teeth to their original appearance and protected them better than the original enamel that had eroded.
