Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Kassam is happy to see both new and returning patients at Sandia Dental Care. Those who are visiting our practice for the first time are first taken to see our hygiene department for a comprehensive teeth cleaning, full set of X-rays if needed, and a complete dental exam to check on the stability of existing restorations and soft tissue health. Patients also get the chance to meet and speak with Dr. Kassam about any concerns, their previous dental experiences, and how we plan to care for your smile at future appointments. If the reason for your first visit is problem-focused, i.e. you’re seeing our dentist for a painful or damaged tooth, we address these issues first. Dr. Kassam evaluates problem spots on your smile to determine the most efficient procedures for your needs and how to re-establish dental health.
