As a Naperville dentist, most of my patients assume that I spend the majority of my time focused on teeth.

The body needs exercise. I am a firm believer in the fact. Our muscles were meant to be used, so the more exercise, the merrier.

Knowing the anxiety that can be caused by the prospect of a tooth extraction, Dr. Singh has developed several effective techniques that can significantly reduce the amount of anxiety, discomfort or pressure that you may normally feel during an extraction. The procedure itself is quick and the majority of our patients experience very little discomfort afterwords. If any discomfort is experienced, usually an OTC anti-inflammatory pain medication like ibuprofen is more than sufficient to relieve it, but stronger medications are available for our more pain sensitive patients.

Your smile is too important for one tooth to ruin. If an extraction is necessary, trust the gentle, respectful, expert hands of Dr. Nitu Singh to keep your smiling before, during and after your procedure.

At dentalroots, we understand the value of preventive care. Nowhere is this more evident than in our oral hygiene program. Our commitment to your health begins with your very first visit to dentalroots.

The new patient experience offers each guest the opportunity to get to know our dental team first. This is followed by a truly comprehensive exam, along with x-rays. With this important health information, the first teeth cleaning actually offers a more comfortable, thorough and beneficial result for each patient.

Although we spend a lot of time focusing on your teeth, your gum and bone are the true foundation of your oral health. Healthy gum and bone always translate into stronger, durable teeth. Dr. Singh uses several devices and techniques:

• Piezo Ultrasonic Scaler - this advanced scaler eliminates the need for hand-scraping by gently vibrating plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums.
• Oraqix Needle-Free Anesthetic - a liquid topical anesthetic that allows you to experience needleless scaling and root-planing procedures.
• Fluoride Treatment - we use Fluorine, a natural element, during cleanings to help prevent tooth decay and reduce decay rates.

If it's been six months or longer since your last visit to the dentist, we invite you to schedule a cleaning with Dr. Nitu Singh. You'll leave our office free from plaque, tartar, gingivitis and calcification.

Read what some of the patients of Naperville dentist, Dr. Nitu Singh are saying about their experience at dentalroots:

Are you experiencing a toothache? Is a tooth particularly sensitive to hot and cold? Have any of your teeth grown darker? These are all signs that decay is present in one or more of your roots.

No one looks forward to the prospect of a root canal. At certain times, however, we must do what is best to protect teeth that must last us for an entire lifetime. Yet when decay has reached a nerve within one of your teeth and inflamed or infected it, a root canal may become necessary.

If it is, we get it: you want the fastest, most effective procedure with little or no discomfort - in and out of that dental chair as fast as possible.

Your roots deserve the most conservative, technologically advanced care. You can trust Naperville and Plainfield Dentist, Dr. Nitu Singh to restore your tooth by gently removing the infection with little or no discomfort. We proceed at a calm speed that clears away all infection and returns you to your normal lifestyle in complete comfort.

• Ask family, friends, neighbors or colleagues for suggestions.
• Ask your family doctor or local pharmacist to recommend a name or two
• Get in touch with the closest dental society for a recommendation

The ADA can be a direct resource for local and state dental societies. They may also be listed in your telephone directory under "dentists" or "associations."

Understand that you and your dentist will be long-term oral health care partners, so find someone you can trust and in whose presence you feel comfortable. Consider one or more of the following questions as criteria to determine if a dentist is right for you:

• Are the office hours convenient?
• Is the location close enough to work and home?
• Is your dentist spending enough time to include treatment options?
• Where was the dentist educated and trained?
• What is the dentist's philosophy of treatment?
• What type of anesthesia is the dentist certified to administer?
• What is the policy on appointment cancellations?
• Does the dentist participate in your insurance plan?
• Does the office appear to be well-organized and clean?
• Is the dental staff friendly and eager to answer your questions?
• During treatment, do you observe the proper use of safety equipment (gloves, etc.)?
• Are payment plans and financial information clear and reasonable?

You only get so many teeth to use for a lifetime, so take the time you need to make the right decision.

Inlays and onlays make it possible to replace unsightly and unhealthy metal fillings with beautiful, long-lasting, tooth-colored restorations. Dental inlays and onlays are porcelain or composite resin restorations used to restore teeth that have only a moderate amount of decay. Perhaps their most important benefit, however, is that in saving damaged teeth, Inlay/Onlays help our patients avoid the need for more extensive costly treatment.

• What is an inlay? An inlay is like a porcelain puzzle piece that covers only the grooves between the cusps (highpoints) of your teeth.
• What is an onlay? An onlay covers a greater amount of the tooth surface and usually includes grooves and cusps.

Onlays and inlays offer many benefits, including:

• Aesthetic, metal-free beauty
• Maximum tooth integrity
• Improved bite resistance
• Long-lasting protection against decay
• Prevention against shifting teeth

A partnership with Dr. Singh means that your next service will be affordable, predictable and durable. We invite you to call our Naperville office and schedule your first appointment today.

A partial denture is a removable appliance that replaces your missing teeth without adversely affecting your remaining teeth. Dr. Singh can securely anchor partial dentures to your mouth via your soft tissue ridge using your healthy teeth, metal-free devices or natural looking dental crowns.

The expertise of Dr. Singh can deliver predictable, comfortable, stable partial dentures that actually supersede the original function and aesthetics of your natural teeth. Your teeth will look and feel better than they ever have before! Secure partial dentures can restore your bite pressure and allow you to chew and eat food with confidence again.

Denture design has improved dramatically over the past decade, allowing us to create a prosthetic gives our patients a more comfortable fit and natural appearance. Call our team at dentalroots today to see if partial dentures may be the solution for you.

Are you getting ready for a wedding, job interview, graduation or class reunion? Have you settled for discolored or stained teeth because of the cost or difficulty of regaining the brightness your teeth used to display?

Not anymore. Now is the time to experience affordable, effective, brighter teeth in less than three weeks. We use a smile brightening system that minimizes the effects of drinking beverages like soda, coffee, red wine or tea and eating high-pigment foods.

Dr. Nitu Singh uses the KoR Whitening Deep Bleaching System - a powerful combination of office and home whitening techniques that maximizes the whiteness potential of your teeth. Even tetracycline-stained teeth are no match for the KoR system.

Achieve the right shine and shade with little or no sensitivity. Call Dr. Singh and the team at dentalroots to schedule a complimentary smile brightening consultation.

Crowns

What is a crown? Crowns are a type of restoration that lies at or above the gum line. They are made out of Porcelain (dental ceramic), metal (gold or other metal alloy), or a combination of both. It's primary purpose is to restore tooth shape, strength and stability. A beautiful porcelain cap is placed to fit snugly over the tooth, instantly restoring it to it’s youthful beauty and integrity.

While porcelain is best for aesthetic beauty, for greater internal strength and durability, Dr. Singh may also use a porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restoration for grinding problems or occlusion issues (the healthy tension created by opposing teeth), particularly on molars. If you have any metal allergies, please notify Dr. Singh.

If you need a cavity filled, Dr. Nitu Singh does composite fillings, since they provide the option to color-match the filling material to the hue of your current tooth and adjacent teeth.

That means your filling looks natural and completely indistinguishable from your other teeth. Compared to porcelain veneers, a composite filling is very cost-effective. It is also very conservative, so you can enjoy a durable restoration that also respects your budget. To prevent future decay, we also apply special liquid called "sealants" to certain chewing surfaces - particularly in hard-to-reach, easily neglected places.

Beyond affordability and durability, composite fillings can be completed at your convenience. In order for a composite filling to last longer, Dr. Singh strongly recommends that you maintain optimum oral hygiene.

Consider a budget-friendly alternative that you can trust to repair minor cavities - and trust Naperville and Plainfield dentist, Dr. Nitu Singh to preserve your oral health with composite fillings.

Making Filling Discomfort Disappear

The number one reason we avoid the dentist is the anxiety produced by an over exaggerated fear of pain. Thankfully, anesthetic materials and techniques have advanced to the point where you should feel little, if any discomfort whatsoever when receiving a composite filling.

Our Naperville dentalexpert, Dr. Singh, uses a device called DIAGNOdent that is especially adept at early detection: discovering the location of any and all cavities before they grow to become more significant issues. Small incipient cavities can be re-mineralized and prescription fluoride treatments can help you avoid any extended chair time.

Dr. Singh also provides you with a variety of creature comforts. We use A-dec 500 Series dental chairs and iPod touch music functionality with a comfortable headset. Enjoy special lip balm, warm towels, topical anesthetic, cable TV and a quiet, soothing atmosphere.

Gurjeet's objective is to keep the busyness of running dentalroots from interrupting our real business: keeping your smile happy and healthy. When all of the administrative tasks are handled, Dr. Nitu Singh is free to focus on what she does best - providing you with the best possible dental experience and superlative dental care.

As your Naperville dentist, Dr. Singh works with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that includes the latest cosmetic dentistry options. This also includes smile design techniques derived from the unique details of your own smile, outstanding porcelain veneers and durable crowns.

Dr. Singh crafts beautiful restorations from the highest quality materials using only the most conservative dental techniques. Our metal-free composite restorations blend in beautifully with your own smile.

Whether you want a simple cleaning or deep cleaning, Naperville dentist Nitu Singh is here to give you beautiful, natural, long-lasting oral health.

Do you have any teeth that are discolored, chipped, cracked, broken, spaced or crowded? Do these teeth keep you from smiling confidently; from showing off your smile to those around you?

The older you become, the more wear your teeth undergo. They can also become significantly darker and may develop wear patterns. But take heart! Modern dental techniques allow Naperville dental expert Dr. Nitu Singh to transform your smile into a natural, beautiful work of art. In only a few weeks, you can experience a smile that is brighter, younger and a renewed sense of personal confidence that can open up an entirely new realm of personal and professional possibilities.

The first step to your new smile is a visit with Dr. Singh. During this initial consultation, we perform a thorough smile analysis that helps us to understand how all of your various anatomical factors influence your smile. We evaluate:

• Tooth Characteristics - the shape, size, length, width, angle and rotation of your teeth.
• Facial Type - the natural shape of your face: square, round, oval or apple.
• Lines of Symmetry - including your teeth, lips and face when in use and when relaxed.
• Gum/Teeth Ratio - how much of your teeth and gums show when you smile?
• Bite Measurement - to ensure that your muscles and bones are working correctly.
• Weight, Gender & Age - helps us to understand what type of teeth we should create.

We understand how busy you are and this is why we now make our new patient forms available online, providing you with the option of completing them at your leisure in the comfort of your own home. Simply print them out, fill in your information, and bring them in during your first visit.

During your initial visit, Dr. Singh will:

• Review your medical and dental history
• Analyze and ascertain your overall oral health
• Take X-rays and polish your teeth
• Detect any early-stage cavities with Diagnodent
• Check your gums for periodontal disease
• Conduct an oral cancer screening
• Discuss your treatment plan options

Surprisingly, oral cancer is the 6th most common type of cancer — and the most virulent. Oral cancer patients experience the worst five-year survival rate of all major types of cancer. Without regular exams, the disease often progresses unnoticed, which is why Dr. Singh checks your mouth for any signs of the disease during every initial exam and six-month check-up.

This visit takes approximately one hour to complete. Depending on the complexity or simplicity of your treatment plan, your visit may take more or less time. The doctor will conduct a thorough cleaning and finalize the strategy for improving the health of your teeth.

Our state-of-the-art Naperville dental practice features many spa-quality amenities and technologies, including HD treatment room televisions with Bose® speakers, low-radiation digital x-rays, free Wi-Fi Internet access and a calm, soothing environment.

Before your visit, relax while reading your favorite magazine and enjoying refreshments in front of the warm reception room fireplace. Dr. Singh uses a special fiber optic head light that focuses only on your mouth, preventing any glare during a procedure.
