When youre looking for a new dental office, accessibility is one of the biggest factors you need to keep in mind. Dental emergencies can happen anywhere at any time; that includes your home and your place of work. We have carefully chosen the location of our dental office so that our patients in the Mesquite area can get to us whenever they need us the most. After all, visiting your dental home should never be difficult!

Its a simple fact that no two patients are the same. Some will need extra help staying calm during routine visits, and the types of services they require will vary depending on the state of their mouths or their overall health. At our dental office, you can always expect Dr. Walia to treat you with a personalized, caring touch, helping you feel at ease at all times. Shell also create a unique treatment plan just for you in order to keep your unique smile gleaming bright.

Some dental offices provide treatment in a detached, strictly professional manner, but that is not the way our staff handles things. We believe that its important to form a personal connection with our patients, which is why we encourage you to talk to us throughout your visit. We will always take the time to make sure you understand what is going to happen during your treatment and why; youll never have to worry about trying to figure out what were talking about!

Dr. Walia comes from a very diverse background. She is of North Indian descent but was born and raised in Quebec. She also grew up in a family of doctors and was exposed to the healthcare field from a very young age. While it seemed like her professional career path was headed that way, she took a different path following the completion of her first degree. She ended up married and living in Japan for several years; during that time, she traveled around as an English teacher.

Once Dr. Walia had learned enough Japanese, she began volunteering at Kobe Kasei Hospital to pursue her undying interest in healthcare. This hospital included dental services, and once she was assigned there for a week, she quickly developed a fascination with their operations. During the initial visit, the patient and their dentist would work on building a relationship first before any actual treatment began, which helped the patient be respectful and willing to listen to future diagnoses. She also loved seeing how the dentist could take a rotten tooth and transform it to be whole and attractive again! These dramatic differences were mind-blowing, and she had an epiphany that she wanted to do the same kind of work.

After returning to the United States, Dr. Walia wanted to observe American dentistry, and she discovered an opportunity to do so at a dental office in Appleton, WI. During her time there, she witnessed many transformative procedures that created amazing improvements for patients smiles. Having the power to create so much newfound happiness and confidence seemed so rewarding to her! She eventually made the decision to enroll herself in dental school the next year. The rest, they say, is history.

After completing her Bachelors at Emory University, Dr. Walia moved on to Nova Southeastern University School of Dental Medicine, where she achieved her doctorate. Following graduation, she underwent a General Practice Residency at Staten Island University Hospital, which provided her with valuable experience regarding the treatment of medically compromised patients and cosmetic dentistry. To further build her clinical expertise, she completed the Hiossen International Implant Training program and is a master of implant prosthesis. She is also certified in both orthodontics and Lumineers, a VIP Provider of ClearCorrect, and a Platinum Provider of Invisalign.

Away from work, Dr. Walia spends plenty of time with her two lovely daughters. Suhina (the elder daughter) has dual degrees in international relations/global studies and finance from UT Austin McCombs Business School. Juhi (the younger daughter) is a middle school student who loves baking specialty desserts and dancing hip hop! Dr. Walias retired mother also lives with them, as her father, unfortunately, died in 2014.

When it comes to hobbies, Dr. Walia has plenty. She enjoys traveling to exotic locales, lifting weights, cooking different fusion dishes, taking on home improvement projects, running, and taking her daughters out to a wonderful steak dinner. Shes also recently developed a newfound passion for horticulture! Shes very proud of her vegetable and flower garden.

Deyanira enjoys coming into work each day because it means she gets to help patients achieve a healthy smile! She is a Texas native who attended Eastfield College in Mesquite after high school. When she isnt at the office, she likes to try new foods, go sightseeing, and spend time with her two dogs. Heres something you may not know about her: one of her interests is digital art and graphics.

Did you realize that you could be suffering from gum disease right now and not even realize it? Without good oral hygiene and regular checkups, the soft tissues protecting the roots of your teeth could eventually become badly infected, and as a result you might end up losing multiple teeth in the future. Fortunately, if Dr. Walia finds any sign of gum disease during a checkup (or if you call our dental office to report worrisome symptoms such as bleeding gums and loose teeth), there are multiple ways we can treat the infection and protect the rest of your smile with gum disease treatment in Mesquite, TX.

When plaque and tartar have built up around and under the gum line, the natural solution is to remove them in order to prevent further damage. But after a certain point, a traditional dental cleaning wont be enough to contain the situation anymore. Instead, well need to perform whats known as a deep cleaning. First, we focus on scraping away the plaque and tartar (also known as scaling). Then well smooth the tooth roots via root planing to encourage the healing process.

The use of antibiotics allows us to continue to fight bacteria in your mouth for a long period of time after scaling and root planing are performed. We use a medication called ARESTIN that can be applied directly to the pockets. The antibiotic is released in small doses for several weeks, and it works to kill bacteria that might prevent the gums from reattaching to the teeth. Antibiotic therapy takes time; the exact length of the treatment depends on the depth and number of periodontal pockets you have.
