Welcome to StarBrite Dental

My name is Dr. Munira Lokhandwala and I have been practicing in California for about 12 years and I started my practice Star Brite Dental about 8 years ago in Free Mont, my philosophy has always been to treat my patients like I would like to be treated, and when they make an appointment my goal is to have a fabulous experience right from the time somebody answers the phone and helps them in setting up the appointment to the time they arrive here and they are greeted and we help them to get to dental health. The whole experience needs to be a positive one, which their needs must be taken care of, and their dental health is their top priority throughout the entire appointment. I think the main philosophy on which I built this practice I had worked around for 5 years for other offices and my goal was to give the patient the best experience that was possible which I did not see at the other offices that I was working at. So what we excel at is we bring the latest technology we have the best people I could find, the most compassionate people who answer the phones and greet them. Then relax them in the office, and we have the technology that delivers the best dentistry that is available right from taking shots which is right now we call it the wand, it is a single tooth anesthesia system, which makes it very gentle and there is barely any feeling of the needle going in. we use lasers to help them treat gum disease, we use computerized dentistry to do the crowns and bridge work which is called Cerec which is state of the art and it gives very precise fit for the crown and bridge work. We also provide sedation for most of our patients, we do pediatrics sedation aid adult sedation so the whole point of it is to make sure it is very comfortable for the patient, they spend about 4 5 hours when dentistry is being done but they don’t feel the fatigue they are very relaxed, and often times they have very little memory of what was goin on which helps them to come back and havea positive expeirne again with us. So that is part of sedation densitry and I have been trained in the last 4 years, we also provide sedation for little children which is pediatric conscious sedation again to relax them with little syrup and some nitrous oxide gas which takes away the anxiety and help them to go through the appointment creating a very positive awareness of the appointment for the child so that he/she can come back and not have any dreaded memories of going to the dentist. I think as far as delivery of dental care we have implemented computers in all the laboratories and even computerized x-rays we have reduced radiation down to about 90 percent so the patient has very little health concerns when we take those x-rays we are also communicating with them via email which is very clear for them when the next appointment is coming up for them, I think overall we try to give them the best dental experience possible in this day and time and area, with all our busy schedules. My staff go out of their way to make sure they know when their appointment is coming up to give them a reminder a day before the request or 2 days before make sure they know their financial options what kind of payment plans are available help them you know make payment plans suitable to their needs and overall whatever the patient hoped to achieve we exceed their expectations at StarBrite Dental and I think that is what sets us apart from the other offices in this rea. I think what I enjoy being a general dentist – what I enjoy most is the ability to deliver everything to the patient to get them from if they come in with a lot of complex work able to relax them to do the simple extraction to the complicated root canal, to placing the implant after they take the tooth out – the whole package were able to deliver with our specialized training I have been trying to improve my skill in the last 12 years that I have ben practicing here, and have gotten implant dentistry certification done along with the education that has helped me to bring this entire dental experience Under one roof. Most patients appreciate that we don’t have to send them out oth multiple offices. We do refer them when they need specialized care for them we are very careful of that and their needs are met, and if there is something that we cannot help them with, they see the right specialist for their treatment needs. So what I enjoy most is a patient who was not expecting to get the care in a friendly clean positive environment and when they come in here and then walk out just awed by the whole experience I think that give me the satisfaction that I was able to wipe them with that wonderful dental experience in the office, which as we are most of the time, nothing personal doc but I hate being here. And when they leave her that is not what we here – and at the end of the day that is a reward for working hard with my excellent team and giving them that experience.
