Getting Started

General Questions

Your first appointment is an exam only, consisting of a evaluation of your teeth, gums and mouth. Based on this evaluation, x-rays may need to be taken. No dental treatment is provided during this exam.

Your second appointment will be for treatment planning. Your dentist will review the findings of your exam and x-rays and discuss how your dental needs can be met. Your dentist will review the risks and benefits of the treatment, and you will be asked to sign a consent agreeing to the planned treatment. Your dental treatment will start at your next scheduled visit.

Note: If you are experiencing dental pain at the time of your exam appointment you will be seen as an emergency patient so that your immediate dental need can be met. You will then be scheduled for another appointment for a complete exam.

When necessary, nitrous oxide sedation can be used for almost any procedure. While it does not put you to sleep, it does provide you with a relaxing, positive dental experience.

An exam to determine your oral health is an essential first step. The hygienist will perform cleanings based on your oral health. They will quickly schedule your cleaning, allowing proper time for them to give you the attention you deserve.

Absolutely. It is impossible to see directly between the teeth or under the gums or bone without the use of a dental radiograph. Many diseases and conditions can only be detected with the use of dental x-rays. X-rays allow dentists to detect disease and other conditions much sooner than the clinical examination alone.

We do. However, the age at which we accept children as patients may vary by location. To ensure a great dental experience for your children we ask that you call the clinic nearest you for specific information.

Always. As a new patient at Lana Rozenberg DDS, your first appointment will include a comprehensive exam, x-rays and a consultation with your office manager. They will answer all your questions, as well as go over your suggested treatment plan, pricing options and will help you schedule any future appointments.

We will not be able to take x-rays, but we always welcome your visit. However, prior to your first visit, you must obtain a release form from your doctor, indicating that you can visit a dental office. With some exceptions, most procedures and treatments can easily be performed on expectant moms.

Smile Design

Cosmetic Treatments

A smile makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic dental treatments designed to transform your smile. It may include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, crowns, and other procedures, all carefully planned to achieve a cohesive, natural-looking result.

With proper care and regular dental maintenance, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. We use only premium materials crafted by master ceramists to ensure durability and a lifelike appearance.

The veneer process involves minimal discomfort. Only a thin layer of enamel is removed (about the thickness of a contact lens), and local anesthesia is used during preparation. Most patients find the process comfortable and straightforward.

A smile lift is a cosmetic dental procedure that restores facial balance and creates a more youthful appearance without surgery. By strategically reshaping and repositioning teeth with porcelain veneers, we enhance lip support and facial volume for a naturally rejuvenated look.

Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. It is a minimally invasive, same-day procedure that can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance.

Professional teeth whitening results typically last one to three years depending on your diet and oral care habits. We provide maintenance guidance and touch-up options to help you keep your smile bright.

What to Expect

Procedures & Care

Treatment times vary depending on the procedure. Teeth whitening and bonding can often be completed in a single visit (1-2 hours), while veneers and smile makeovers typically require 2-3 visits over a few weeks.

Most cosmetic dental procedures require little to no downtime. Patients can typically return to their daily activities immediately. Dr. Rozenberg uses minimally invasive techniques to ensure maximum comfort and fast recovery.

Yes, we offer flexible payment options to help make your treatment accessible. Our team can discuss financing plans during your consultation so you can move forward with confidence.

Good oral hygiene, regular professional cleanings, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding are key to maintaining your results. We provide personalized care instructions and recommend periodic check-ups to protect your investment.

I recently visited Dr. Rozenberg for a consultation on some rather intensive cosmetic dental work. She presented me two different options to take and walked me through exactly what she would doing. Dr. Rozenberg also provided me paperwork that detailed the timing, cost, healing time, and expected results of the two options. Based on that and her expertise, I was able to make an informed decision!

They are fantastic. I was having some difficulties with insurance and despite this they gave me honest and genuine advice based on the limited information they could see. I’m very grateful for their kindness, this may have saved me a lot of pain in the future. Especially a shout-out to the hygienist I spoke to, Rachel.
