Dental Examination
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Sensitive Care Cosmetic and Family Dentistry is committed to bringing the latest technology in oral cancer screening to the community. We are one of the few offices in the Milford, CT area with the advanced VELscope system, with simple, painless, and affordable 2-Minute Exams. Take advantage of our digital radiography technology to avoid this menacing health problem.

Teeth Cleaning
Infant Teeth Cleaning: Baby teeth should be cleaned as soon as they erupt. Clean your baby’s teeth with a soft washcloth or gauze after every bottle or meal. When more than one tooth erupts, you can soak a small-bristled child-sized (age-appropriate) toothbrush in warm water before using it on your baby’s teeth, as instructed by your dentist. Baby teeth should be brushed using a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Dental Sealant Application: Dental sealants are used to protect teeth from decay and are appropriate as soon as a tooth erupts.

Fillings
At Sensitive Care Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, our practice’s philosophy is that silver-mercury amalgam fillings are no longer the best restorations to place in your teeth. Composite bonded fillings are made of modern materials that allow our dentists to restore your teeth so that they are healthier and stronger. Sensitive Care offers composite bonded fillings to all its patients in the Milford, CT area.
Veneers
Porcelain Veneers can make a dramatic difference in the way your smile looks. With porcelain veneers, we can change the size, shape, color, and position of your teeth within a few visits to our Milford office. Many of our patients in the Coastal Connecticut region take advantage of our porcelain veneers.
Crowns
IPS E-Max is the latest all ceramic system designed with simplicity and versatility in mind. IPS E-Max is the ultimate in metal-free esthetics and durability offering high-strength materials for the CAD/CAM technique. The material is 3 times stronger than standard porcelain fused to metal crowns.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
Composite Bonding: Chipped, broken, discolored, or decayed teeth may be repaired or have their appearance corrected using a procedure called composite bonding. A dental composite material with the look of enamel and dentin is applied into the cavity or onto the surface of a tooth, where it is then sculpted into shape, contoured and hardened with a high-intensity light. The result is a restoration that blends invisibly with the remainder of the surrounding tooth structure to create a healthy, bright smile.
Restorative Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental services under one roof – from cosmetic and restorative dentistry to periodontics, oral surgery and pediatrics.

Root Canal Treatment
Dr. Veena Ramesh is a Board-Eligible Endodontist practicing dentistry in Fairfield County since 2009. She has rigorous training and extensive knowledge in all aspects of non-surgical and microsurgical endodontics and embraces the use of current advancements and technology. During her time at NYU, Dr. Ramesh actively participated in research on Regenerative Endodontics and was awarded for her presentation at the annual American Association of Endodontists meeting.

Dentures
An important step in maintaining a healthy smile is to replace missing teeth. When teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can shift, drifting into surrounding space. Teeth that are out of position can damage tissues in the mouth. In addition, it may be difficult to clean thoroughly between crooked teeth. As a result, you run the risk of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to the loss of additional teeth. A removable partial denture fills in the space created by missing teeth and fills out your smile. A denture helps you to properly chew food, a difficult task when you are missing teeth. In addition, a denture may improve speech and prevent a sagging face by providing support for lips and cheeks.
Overdentures
Complete dentures are used to replace missing teeth for people with no remaining teeth. Dentures may also be used for people who have lost several teeth. In this case, the appliance is called a partial denture or an overdenture. Tooth loss may result from periodontal disease (gum disease), tooth decay, or traumatic injury. It is very important to replace missing teeth. The ill effects of not doing so can be a shift in remaining teeth, an inability to bite and chew properly. Sufferers of missing teeth may also experience a sagging facial appearance, which makes them appear older than they are. The beauty of dentures today is that they are designed to be comfortable and functional. They are very similar in appearance to natural teeth, and can improve a smile or facial appearance.

Orthodontics
Dr. Kenny has practiced orthodontics in Connecticut for 30 + years. He received his undergraduate education at Stonehill College in North Easton Massachusetts, majoring in Biology and graduating with honors. He received his Dental degree as well as his orthodontic certificate at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine in Farmington. While at UConn he performed research in growth and development and was published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in March of 1988. He has maintained a practice in orthodontics in New Fairfield Connecticut until joining Sensitive Dental. Dr. Kenny is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Esthetic dentistry combines the best art and science to create beautiful dental restorations that not only improve your appearance but also improve function, strength, and longevity of your teeth. Esthetic dentistry is one of the fastest growing areas within dental medicine. Our dentists at Sensitive Care are able to deliver incredibly beautiful dentistry that was unimaginable a few years ago. We’re proud to offer esthetic bonding, esthetic dentistry, and Invisalign straightening to all our patients in the Milford, CT area.
Braces
The reason behind the braces is to maximize the short time span by working for 24/7 and keep the teeth secure, allowing the roots and jaw to adjust every step of the way. Braces using trays or aligners only adjust the teeth, which may be fine if the process is elongated, but can cause root damage if the adjustment in tooth placement is quick. By using the brackets on the teeth, we are able to shorten the process and create lasting results.

Teeth Whitening
Discolored or yellow teeth may be the result of certain foods, beverages, smoking, aging, poor hygiene, genetics, medications, or any combination of these factors. No matter the reasons for discoloration, Sensitive Care Cosmetic and Family Dentistry provides options for professional teeth whitening to all its patients in the Milford, CT area.
Cosmetic Dentistry
While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, mouth and smile. In other words restorative, general and/or family dental practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment, whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective – or desired – treatments or services.
General Dentistry
The Odyssey Soft Tissue Diode Laser has numerous cosmetic and general dentistry benefits. The diode laser allows our doctors to achieve superior results treating oral soft tissue. By investing in soft tissue diode laser technology, we are able to offer our patients in the Milford, CT region many benefits.
