The House of Smile Design, under the leadership of Dr Kritika Mehra and Dr Jimmi Patel, delivers metropolitan-quality dental technology and treatments to regional Victoria, drawing on their combined 35 years of experience.
“Some older people may have had a really rough experience in their childhood with dentistry, and we are attempting to change that mindset,” Dr Mehra said.
“We have all the technology in the clinic to make the procedure and their journey very seamless
“We don’t work from any agendas; we meet the patient where they are.”
The practice employs state-of-the-art technology to improve patient comfort and treatment outcomes.
“We have intraoral scanners that we use, that remove the need to put alginate or impression equipment in your mouth, because that is not a good experience,” Dr Mehra said.
“A lot of people park their dental health on the back burner because of poor experiences.”
The intraoral scanner takes millions of photos of your teeth, builds a model and that model is used to explain to you what the dentists are looking at, and the why and how of any treatment needed.
Recognising that dental visits can be intimidating, especially for those with anxiety, the House of Smile Design offers a gentle solution, sleep dentistry.
With sleep dentistry, you can sleep peacefully during treatment, and is available for both children and adults.
Their comprehensive services include Digital Smile Design, Invisalign and veneers.
Digital Smile Design begins with the end in mind, considering not only your teeth, but also the overall appearance of your face after treatment.
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment for good reason, as it helps straighten teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligners without the use of wires and brackets and is virtually undetectable when worn on your teeth.
From stains or discolouration to chips, cracks, gaps or misaligned teeth, veneers offer a natural-looking and long-lasting solution for improving the overall aesthetics of your smile.
“A lot of people in Echuca, Moama and the surrounding area think that they have to go to the city, thinking that the city offers a lot more facilities, technology and cosmetic treatments, but we can do all of that here,” Dr Mehra said.
This includes creating the smile you want in preparation for getting married.
“If you would like to create your best smile for your big day, you need to give yourself at least six months before your wedding to come and see us, if not a year,” Dr Mehra said.
“By coming to see us, a year out from your wedding, we can provide you with a full, comprehensive dental service, without cutting too close to the big day.”
Dr Mehra highlights how dental health can transform overall wellbeing.
“We see so many patients here, when they first come in, they don’t make eye contact, they are underconfident and may not be doing so well in their lives,” Dr Mahra said.
“All of a sudden, once their teeth are fixed, once they have a nice smile, their confidence kicks in.
“We have seen so many people get promotions at work, become confident, put themselves out there, start talking more, and feel good about themselves.
“Internally, teeth are a part of the body, and we must look after that part of the body as well, so we feel good in our whole selves.
The practice is a preferred provider for HCF, NIB and CBHS, accepts all other health funds and offers in-house third-party payment plans.
