NORTHBOROUGH – Family Dental Group of Northborough has grown steadily since opening in 2018. The practice has added services and staff to serve its patients, and it has expanded the hours of the Northborough office.
“Family Dental Group is a boutique type of dental practice,” said Dr. Archana Karkhanis-Lavana. “Unlike larger, more corporate practices, we get to know our patients and offer personalized services to fit our patients’ goals and lifestyles.”
Family Dental Group provides dental services for the entire family from age four on into adulthood.
“For children and adults, we provide gentle dental treatment. Our long-term goal is to continue care for patients as they transition from pediatric dental needs to adult dental services,” said Karkhanis-Lavana.
In addition to dental health services, Karkhanis-Lavana provides a variety of cosmetic services. She talked of recent trends that she is seeing.
“With the increase in virtual meetings, people have become self-conscious of their appearance, and this has increased their cosmetic awareness,” said Karkhanis-Lavana. “For both teens and adults, Invisalign has grown in popularity. Teeth whitening is still a trend, and I am seeing more people request veneers and full crowns. We are also offering more implant services for patients who want their dentures replaced, as implants create a more natural-looking smile over dentures.”
Dr. Karkhanis-Lavana also offers help for people who suffer from migraines and temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ). She is certified to treat patients using Botox, which relaxes the muscles around the jaw.
“Botox releases spasm in the muscles used for eating and clenching,” said Karkhanis-Lavana. “With repeated Botox treatment, the muscles learn to relax. There is no cure for migraine, but Botox helps ease the severity of migraine as well as TMJ pain.”
For patients who need dental work but do not have insurance, Family Dental Group allows payment through the Sunbit credit card.
“The advantage of using Sunbit is that it is a soft pull on the patient’s credit,” Said Karkhanis-Lavana. “This is a great option for patients who have no dental insurance.”
Karkhanis-Lavana enjoys participating in local events and is grateful for the support of the Northborough community.
“We participated in Applefest last year and welcome opportunities to sponsor local groups. We are thankful for the support that the community has shown us, and we want to continue to give back,” said Karkhanis-Lavana.
Family Dental Group welcomes new patients, and anyone can call for a consultation to see what options are available to them.
“The greatest compliment that a patient can give us is a referral,” said Karkhanis-Lavana. “With our Care to Share program, a new patient referred to us receives an exam and x-rays for only $1.00.”
In addition to the Northborough office, Family Dental Group has offices in Paxton and Gardner. Visit their website at lavanafamilydental.com or call (508) 466-7211 to schedule a consultation.
