I used CPAP for sleep apnea for 2 1/2 years until I read a NYT article suggesting that mouth guards may be a credible alternative to CPAP devices. Based on my frustrations regarding a CPAP, I decided to try the alternative. I called a local Oral Surgery office to see if they could take me as a new patient. Instead they referred me to who they considered the most qualified specialist in the area - Chandra Smile Designs. After extensive diagnostic studies that included x-rays, MRI scans, dental models, and sleep monitoring recordings, Dr Chandra designed a treatment plan specific to my diagnosis. It is important to point out that mouth guards are ubiquitous from disparate sources. What you get from Chandra Smile Designs is a series of engineered mouth guards that are delivered at specific sequences as they monitor the efficacy of each stage of treatment. The comprehensive diagnosis revealed that another non- invasive procedure was indicated to ensure that all factors that contributed to my sleep apnea were eliminated. This involved laser treatment on my soft palate. After 2 non-invasive procedures and confirmation of at least 6-7 hours of unobstructed sleep, I have stopped using the CPAP. One of my happiest transformational experiences.

I have been a patient for 4 months, I have dealt with migraines and facial pain for years. Dr Chandra and her team have worked with me diligently, my TMJ issues were worse than I ever have known. Migraines are much better, pain is so much better, that I don't even think of it every day. The technology and experience her team shows, is impressive, the customer service is top notch. I recommend this team to everyone, not just for migraines or TMJ, but for all services they offer. I was recommended by my Dr. And all I can say is thank you to him. I drive an hour to see them, and will continue for as long as I need to. And to Dr Chandra and her team, thank you for all you have done, and the patience to get me here in health. Vikki Sellers

It all began with 15 year old Samantha coming in for my first new patient appointment at chandra smile designs. I was completely in awe with the spa-like atmosphere, friendliness of the staff, and the professionalism and exceptional care Dr. Chandra provided. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. After completing different levels of education, my dream came true.. I got hired at chandra smile designs!! Today I celebrate 12 years of changing lives along side Dr Chandra and our Dream Team!! Each day is a celebration with helping create beautiful smiles, relieving patients of pain from TMJ issues and treating sleep disorders. Your cheerful concierge, Samantha

Very Friendly, calming environment!!! You don't really notice you are in a dental office. It feels more like a spa "dental" treatment. They offer many things not just dental. Doctor is amazing Everyone explained everything step by step and helps you along the way. I just so amazed by it!! Definitely a place to check out for dental treatments, if you have sleep problems, physical therapy and others. Just go check it out even if you have none of those things, and just get information from what they do!!!!

Great Service, all employees make you feel at home and go over and above to make you feel comfortable and show that they are genuine and care about you, both professionally and on a personal basis. Cleanliness is evident at every part or procedure of your visit. Everything down to the smallest detail is explained, both before and during your visit including costs. There are no surprises. Kudos to Miss Tina and her staff. .. I have never had a better experience with dental issues and in my life, I have had many. I would recommend Chandra Smile Designs to anyone. On a scale of 1 to 10, the scale does not go high enough. Looking forward to going to the dentist is rare, but in this case, Kudos again Thank you all and God Bless.

Dr. Chandra and her staff have done everything they can to make me feel comfortable with every appointment. I've had anxiety around certain procedures and they have always been able to calm me down. The entire staff has made sure I had an understanding of each step of my procedure as well as providing examples of Dr. Chandra's excellent work. They're very professional while making you feel like you are their one and only patient! I think this is a rare combination in the world of medicine/dentistry. It's actually rare in any industry! Thank you Chandra Smile Designs!

I am 60 years old so I've been to a lot of dentists in my time - but Dr. Tina Chandra is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. She also has the best staff, including the best dental hygienist I've ever had. The office is so pleasant with a calm, soothing atmosphere, smiling faces and friendly exchanges. Dr. Chandra is so skilled and intuitive. She makes everyone feel special and carries on a personal, friendly exchange while diagnosing and treating your dental needs. It doesn't hurt that she is a cosmetic dentist, specializing in complete dental reconstruction, implants, etc. so she has a complete understanding of facial anatomy. She offers other services as well which are a perfect extension of her cosmetic dentistry - Botox, Juviderm, Smoothlase, etc. She is an artist for your face, with the medical skill to make it happen! I love Dr. Tina Chandra!

I have been a long term patient of Dr. Tina Chandra's for 10 years. Dr. Chandra and her Team are always professional, but more than that, they make me feel welcome and treat me as a "member of the family" when I am there. I have had the general dentistry things done, of course, (cleanings and check-ups) but a couple of years ago I mentioned to Dr. Chandra that I had really never been quite happy with my two front teeth. They were crooked and chipped. It was not a crisis, and many people thought I had a "nice" smile, but I was never really happy with it. Dr. Chandra brightened my smile with Zoom and that helped, but the crooked tooth and the chipped tooth still bothered me. Dr. Chandra told me about veneers that could be applied and corrections could be made to straighten, which would make for a big and beautiful smile. But I waited. I decided I would wait no more. Last February, told Dr. Chandra I was ready to get the smile I had always wanted. And, I must say, even though it is not inexpensive, and it takes several visits to get everything done in the precise order and manner for preparation for the veneer process, in the end, it was well worth it as I now have a "picture perfect" smile. I only wish I had had the initiative to do it sooner. So, if you see me around town with a big bright smile and looking good, it is because of the excellent care and treatment I received from Dr. Chandra and her Team Thanks again to Dr. Chandra and to the staff of Chandra Smile Designs. You took such good care of me and gave me a great smile. Jon Dean Attorney at Law

I have had a great experience getting the oral appliance to solve the snoring that my husband says I was doing (of course I was asleep unaware). This device for sleep apnea, is less intrusive, no noise, easy and comfortable. The explanation of the CT scan that was part of the evaluation was extremely informative to me as I never had anything like that done, and it was a real education giving me self awareness of my neck-throat-nasal functioning. The staff and Dr Chandra are very friendly, professional and thorough, working to solve my snoring issue. Seems like I am "cured" and I am happy to say I have noticed other benefits to not snoring any more, no morning sore throats, not getting up at night to use bathroom and my husband is not sleeping in the guest room any more!

The dental professionals at Chandra Smile Designs are truly a cut above. From the very first interaction with the office staff I felt warmly welcomed. Dr. Chandra educated me on the cause of my TMJ giving me hope that all could be corrected and a healthy smile restored. A fixed orthotic was used to correct my bite bringing relief from the TMJ tension, pain and grinding. After years of the teeth hitting incorrectly, my teeth were worn and chipped necessitating a full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Chandra did the large amount of work while I was under sedation which made the process a pleasant one. I am very pleased with the final outcome. Dr. Chandra is a real artist. She has a good eye for making the smile match the patient. My friends and family comment on how beautiful and natural my smile appears. Now I am happy to show off my beautiful smile!
