This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist! Jess, the hygienist was extremely personable and Dr. Kashyap was amazing and really listened to my concerns. The space was very clean and cute. 100% worth my 30 minute drive to see them!

As someone who is a hypochondriac, I hated the dentist. I’ve cancelled too many appointments for my liking, and finally decided to go in to get my deep cleaning. I’ve referred every single person that says the word dentist around me.After my first visit I became more and more comfortable coming, now I’ll text the business line asking if I can come in when I feel the slightest pain in my mouth. The front desk receptionist, Leslie, is always on top of it. Stephanie is my best girl, literally the sweetest and best at making me feel comfortable. She also acts like she cares about all the inappropriate stuff I talk about. Monica is hands down THE BEST dentist I’ve ever let work on me, understanding, personable, funny, and if SK didn’t marry her, I would. It just feels like a family cookout every time I come, not the dentist. Plus they have Corgis, just come here, I promise you will be happy you did!

This is truly a 5 star dental practice! I was lucky enough to find them when I had an emergency - my former dentist had retired and I had to rely on reviews and intuition in picking a new one. I picked a winner!From the first visit, I’ve been very impressed with the friendly & relaxed atmosphere, and know it stems from the personalities of the owners, Dr. Kashyap and Dr. Patel. Husband & wife team, a true dynamic duo.They are welcoming and sincere in the one on one attention they give, yet offer utmost professionalism and skill, with amazing educations behind them.Everything is state of the art, so the procedures are much quicker and precise. My experience there has been pain free, including 2 implants in the past 2 years.They offer a dental plan that saved me quite a bit, and kept me well informed on all charges. The staff is also warm and personable, making the visits a pleasure. And the dental hygienists are the best!If you’re looking for a new one, you’ve found it the best dental practice right here!

BEFORE & AFTER

FAQs

I brush my teeth regularly. Should I still floss?

Brushing removes food debris and plaque from the back and front surfaces of your teeth. However, the toothbrush cannot reach into the tiny spaces between the teeth. Flossing helps you remove the debris and bacteria in these areas that the toothbrush is unable to reach.

Bacteria thrive in these hard-to-reach places in your teeth. If you don’t floss regularly, the bacteria multiply to cause serious gum diseases, such as periodontitis or gingivitis. At Craft Smiles, your caring dentist in Matthews, NC will demonstrate the correct technique for brushing and flossing to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy.

How do I prevent cavities?

A cavity is a hole on the tooth that starts small and becomes bigger gradually when left untreated. Also known as tooth decay or dental caries, cavities can be hard to detect because they are painless in the beginning.

There are some steps you can take to prevent the formation of cavities:

  • Brush and floss after drinking and eating. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once. You should brush and floss particularly after you eat or drink sugary foods.
  • Avoid frequent sipping and snacking: Include more fruits and vegetables, while avoiding frequent snacking on unhealthy foods. Sugary foods and drinks encourage bacteria to thrive and release acids that damage the tooth enamel.
  • Drink water: Tap water has added fluoride which helps reduce the risk of tooth decay. It will also help wash down food debris after eating.
  • Get periodic dental health checks. Your dentist at Craft Smiles will recommend a dental health check schedule that is ideal for you. Apart from professional teeth cleaning, we perform regular oral exams that help prevent minor problems from blowing up into something serious so you can rest assured that you are receiving the best dental care in Matthews, NC.

What causes morning breath?

Morning breath can be caused by many factors. These include acid reflux (GERD), tobacco, strong-smelling foods such as onion or garlic, and dry mouth. Apart from these, poor oral hygiene is often the main reason behind morning breath. At night, saliva production also decreases. This helps the bacteria in your teeth release sulfur compounds from the food debris, resulting in bad breath. If regular brushing, flossing, and tongue-cleaning are not helping you get rid of morning breath, consult your dentist at Craft Smiles.

What can I do about sensitive teeth?

If you are experiencing mild teeth sensitivity, you can use a desensitizing toothpaste that blocks the pain. However, consulting your dentist is the best way to address teeth sensitivity. After a thorough evaluation, the dentist recommends the right treatment that can include root canal, fluoride application, gum graft or application of bonding resin.

How long will the results of teeth whitening last?

The results typically depend on the type of teeth whitening treatment. Over-the-counter products such as gels, toothpaste or strips use a mild bleaching agent (peroxide) to whiten teeth. The results can last for four months once you use them as recommended.

Dentists use stronger whitening products when they perform professional teeth whitening. Your teeth will stay bright for up to a year with our in-office teeth whitening while keeping optimum oral hygiene. Our dentist in Matthews, NC is here to service you and give you the best teeth whitening results.
