“You know that fresh, clean feeling you get after your dental cleaning.  Don’t you miss it?” -Dr. Shirley Parikh

Sedation Dentistry
We offer a menu of sedation options for children and adults
Dental anxiety is a real concern for many patients and we want to help make your visit a positive one.  32 Family Dentistry offers inhalation sedation (“happy gas”) for our mildly anxious patients and oral conscious sedation for our moderately anxious patients. All of our treatment rooms are equipped with blankets, neck pillows, and lip balm.  Our rooms also come with ceiling-mounted TV’s and Bose noise-cancelling headphones.
State-of-Art Dental Practice
Where technology meets old-fashioned hospitality
When you walk into 32, you will feel the difference when you smell coffee brewing at our coffee bar, hear kids playing in video game room, and guests typing on their iPads with 32′s Wi-Fi.  Charts are digital and powered by iMacs.  We use digital radiography taken with the Nomad hand-held X-ray machine, using 90% less radiation than conventional X-rays.  Dr. Parikh uses magnification loupes with LED head lights during exams, cleanings, and treatment.  During your exam, we also use the Diagnodent wand to help us detect decay before they’re visible with the naked eye.  We use a diode laser during your dental cleanings.

Socially Conscious Dentistry
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
When creating 32 Dental Boutique, we took great strides in reducing our carbon footprint.  Low-VOC paint was used throughout the office and recycled materials where used where possible.  Millions of gallons of water are wasted per year by dental offices, that is why we installed a water-less dental vacuum at 32.  From recycling bins to toothbrushes made from yogurt cups; or sterilizing our instruments using reusable stainless steel containers instead of wasteful plastic bags.  32 Family Dentistry is contributed a small piece to reducing the community’s footprint.
