The Inman Aligner is the perfect solution for crowding, protrusion, retraction and spacing of the front teeth, says Dr. Shah. It works by placing two clear bows behind your teeth activated by springs. The springs create gentle pressure that guides your front teeth into the ideal position. Only a clear plastic bow is visible on the front of your teeth. Since the pressure is gentle, any initial discomfort in minimal.
As compared to Invisalign, The Inman Aligner is much less expensive; requires you wear only one appliance, as opposed to changing trays every 10 to 14 days; and can be worn fewer hours during the day.
Although the Inman Aligner can only be used on patients who have all their adult teeth, Dr. Shah provides effective orthodontic treatment for children and teenagers using appliances other than braces.
Since moving into his current office at 300 Middletown Boulevard, Suite 101, in 1995, he has been using laser treatment to replace the need for drilling and needles in most cases. Dr. Shah uses Hydro- Phototonics Technology Waterlase Dentistry, a safe and gentle alternative to traditional dental tools. This patented technology combines YSGG (Yttrium Scandium Gallium Garnet) laser energy and a spray of water to perform a wide range of dental procedures, such as cutting teeth, gum treatment and stopping pain associated with hot or cold sensitivity on ones tooth. With Waterlase Dentistry, Dr. Shah can perform many dental procedures with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of a drill, fewer numb lips and less bleeding. This method reduces the fear so many patients have about going to a dentist.
Still another high-tech device Dr. Shah uses is SNAP technology, cosmetic simulation software. For no charge, Dr. Shah can show you a before and after shot of your teeth on a monitor so you see how cosmetic procedures will affect your smile before they are done.

Hands down the best dental experience I've ever had. No one likes going to the dentist let alone for a root canal, but at dr shah it was completely painless. He and his staff are very professional and care about their patients. How many dentists do you know that will call you to make sure you are alright and give you their personal numbers for any issues? Above and beyond for their patients, Highly recommended.

I was terrified of going to the dentist but Dr Shah completely took that fear away. I let him know of my past experiences and he assured me of a quick and painless experience with him. He played music to help me relax and made sure I felt at ease with each step. He's quick but makes sure that there's no pain. Best dentist experience I've ever had!

Dr. Shah's migraine treatment was the only thing that stopped my pain. I was having to get 40 Botox migraine shots in my head and neck every 3 months until Dr. Shah's treatment. After only two sessions I was able to discontinue the Botox. Thank you! Highly recommend him after 20+ years of being his patient.

Dr. Shah is the best dentist i have ever come across. I was suffering from a severe toothache where my wisdom teeth once were. I went to a dentist in newhope and they said to me that its just bruised from eating something rough and it should go away. Pain actually kept getting worse. I called his office on a Thursday right before labor day weekend. He called me back at 4pm. I explained my issue and he said seems i have an infection as i told him my lymph nodes are no swollen to where the toothache is. He said if i could get there on time he would see me even though his office is closed. I went right away and he confirmed that it was an infection. He gave me antibiotics and kept checking up on me to see if the pain had gotten any better. He truly cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist .

Dr S is AMAZING! He is the most kind hearted person who truly cares about your teeth! If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have any teeth. He saved all my teeth and has made me 100% more confident in my smile !

Amazing work! I have horrible TMJ, headaches, left side molars couldn't touch and after only 2 appointments, my bite has been corrected, all molars touch and no more headaches. Dr. Shah is professional and patient first, and very much cares about patient comfort as well. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

I had my 1st appointment with Dr. Shah, and really thankful I found his office after having the worst experiences with a previous "chain" local office. The rooms were private and not like an assembly line area like some offices seem to be these days so it made me feel at ease. Dr. Shah was kind, gentle, quick in the process but thoroughly completing the task. He asked me if I had any particular preference in music, I brushed it off but he inquired again, I told him and he played a station that had it, this helped me relax even more. I look forward to coming back for my treatment plan. Words I never thought I would say about a dental appointment seriously the best experiences I've ever had in my life with a dentist. Thank you Dr. Shah and staff

Dr Shah has been mine and my family's dentist for many years. Had a painless root canal today - was in and out of the office in less than an hour. Dr Shh has changed my opinion of getting a root canal done. Dr Shah and Tonya are very prompt, you rarely have to wait and are seen at the time of your appt.

I've been dealing with Dr.Shah for about a year now and he has done wonders for me. Hes cleaned my teeth and put a crown in for me when my tooth broke and he is not stingy on the novacaine. If you feel any pain he stops until you dont feel pain then continues. Hes very patient and he even let's you choose music to listen to, haha. I also have had an Inman Aligner from him for 8 weeks now and my teeth have straightened dramatically. I'd refer Dr. Shah and his amazing receptionist Tonya to anyone.

Dr. Bharat Shah AND Tanya were phenomenal. We took our 3 year old and 5 year old daughters for a second opinion after negative experiences with two dental practices. We have never seen our daughters so calm and relaxed at the dentist. They had an incredible ability to keep our daughters calm and comfortable. Dr. Shah and Tanya have a relaxed demeanor. We received an honest and accurate assessment of our kid's oral health especially when we compare it to our past experiences at other dentists. I think we found the only dentist we'll be taking our girls!

Hadn't been to dentist in years and was embarrassed by condition of my teeth. Dr. Shah and Tonya made it easy to go back. They are professional, always running on time, and take the time to explain procedures and finances as needed. Highly recommended.

Went from crooked to straight teeth in 3 moths. No permanent braces, just a removable retainer! My friend is on her third year of Invisalign and wishes she had gone this route

I had braces years ago and like many people did not properly wear my retainers so years later my teeth had shifted. Two years ago I decided to get Invisalign but did not get the results I wanted. I went to Dr. Shah and decided to try the Inman Aligner and had immediate results. Also, there was no pain and it is easy to remove if needed. I definitely would recommend it to anyone who wants to see quick results!

This was BY FAR, the best experience I've had with a dentist or dental office in 30 years. Tanya and Dr. Shah are just the nicest people. My appointment was on time and everything was explained to me. I have trouble with xRays which can be annoying for dental assistants/hygienists. However, Tanya was SO patient and also taught me how to relax and breathe to make it easier. Dr. Shah told me exactly what I needed and did not try to sell me anything else (unlike my last dentist). I will be bringing my husband and son to this office and will also tell all my friends!
