Frequently Asked Questions

Pursuing needed dental care shouldn’t have to be a confusing or overcomplicated event. Here in Canonsburg, Dr. Raj wants to make sure that all of his patients, both new and old, have their questions answered in a satisfying fashion. Below, you’ll find several of the most popular FAQs our team receives at Center One Dental and their respective answers. If you don’t find the information you’re looking for, you’re always welcome to contact us and speak to someone directly.

Do you see children?

Yes! Center One Dental sees whole families and patients of all ages. Dr. Raj is very familiar with the evolving needs of smiles at every stage of life, and several kid-friendly services are available to help your son or daughter get the best start possible for lifelong oral health.

Visiting the dentist’s office makes me nervous. Can you help?

We certainly can. Multiple sedation options are available here that can relieve anxiety and help patients feel genuinely at ease throughout their appointments. Dr. Raj is even proud to now offer IV sedation, which is strong sedative method that can be adjusted by our team when needed for full safety.

Should I be worried if my gums regularly bleed after brushing and flossing?

Chronic periodontal bleeding is almost always a sign of a serious infection. The longer periodontal disease is allowed to lurk in gum tissue, the more likely it is that patients will experience severe gum recession and even the loss of adult teeth and bone. That’s why our team strongly recommends that patients visit us for a screening if they notice this symptom on a regular basis.

I want to improve the way my smile looks. What are my options?

Our practice offers several cosmetic services that can erase common dental flaws and help your teeth shine with confidence, including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, direct bonding, Invisalign®, and more. Dr. Raj will be happy to review them with you in greater detail during an initial consultation.

Do you see dental emergencies?

Absolutely. If new or reoccurring patients call us when the office is open with a serious dental injury or pain, Dr. Raj will find time to treat you that very same day. We want to provide immediate relief!

I can’t make it in for an appointment during normal work hours. Do you have available times in the evenings/on the weekends?
