Fast Braces and Invisalign® in Walnut Creek, CA
Straightening your smile doesn’t have to take years or involve metal brackets. At Mona Lisa Smile Dental, we offer both Fast Braces and Invisalign® to help you achieve a beautiful smile comfortably and discreetly.
Fast Braces
Fast Braces use advanced technology to move teeth more efficiently, often completing treatment in just months instead of years. It’s an ideal option for patients seeking faster results with less discomfort.
Invisalign®
For a nearly invisible and flexible alternative, Invisalign® is a favorite among adults and teens in Walnut Creek. We take precise digital scans—no messy molds—to create a treatment plan tailored to your lifestyle. Many of our Downtown Walnut Creek patients love that they can remove their aligners for meetings, meals, or special occasions without worry.
General Examinations in Walnut Creek, CA
Regular checkups are the best way to prevent problems before they start. Dr. Khandaqji recommends general dental examinations every six months to keep your smile healthy and strong.
Preventive Dental Care
During each visit, we:
Check your teeth, gums, and bite alignment
Screen for oral cancer
Take digital X-rays when needed
Perform gentle cleanings to remove buildup
Preventive care is especially important for kids and seniors, who may be more prone to cavities or gum issues. By catching early signs of decay or gum disease, we help you avoid costly treatments later.
Patients from neighborhoods near Walnut Heights Elementary and Northgate High School often stop by after school or work—it’s easy to fit into your day.
Cosmetic Dentistry in Walnut Creek, CA

Pediatric Dentistry – Gentle Care for Kids
Little smiles need extra care and patience. Our pediatric dentistry services make visits fun and comfortable for children of all ages.
We believe in helping kids build healthy habits early—so they can grow up with strong teeth and zero dental fear.
Children’s Dentistry
Parents in Rossmoor and Ygnacio Valley appreciate our gentle approach, child-sized instruments, and plenty of encouragement at every visit.

Every child leaves with a big smile—and a special prize from our treasure chest!
Preventive Dentistry – Protecting Your Smile
Good dental care starts long before there’s a problem. Preventive dentistry means catching small issues before they become painful or expensive to fix.
Preventive Care
Our preventive services include:
Professional cleanings and comprehensive exams
Sealants and fluoride treatments to prevent cavities
Gum health evaluations
Bite checks and custom night guard fittings
Many patients from Saranap and Walnut Heights visit us regularly to stay ahead of potential issues. Preventive care not only keeps your smile bright—it saves time, money, and stress in the long run.
Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy)
When tooth pain becomes sharp or constant, it might be time to check the nerve inside. Endodontics, or root canal treatment, helps save infected teeth that might otherwise need removal.
At Mona Lisa Smile Dental, we use digital imaging and gentle techniques to make the procedure fast and comfortable. With local anesthesia or sedation options, most patients say it feels like getting a regular filling.
After treatment, we place a custom crown to restore your tooth’s strength and appearance. Saving your natural tooth helps keep your bite balanced and your smile natural.
Periodontics (Gum Health and Treatment)
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease is more common than most people realize—and it can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
Gum (Periodontal) Care
Our periodontal treatments are designed to reverse early gum issues and manage advanced cases with precision and comfort. We provide:
Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing)
Ongoing gum maintenance therapy
Laser-assisted gum treatment
Education on at-home care and brushing techniques
Dr. Khandaqji frequently helps patients experiencing bleeding gums or persistent bad breath. With consistent, personalized care, your gums can heal, strengthen, and support a healthier smile for years to come.
Prosthodontics (Restoring Missing Teeth)
Missing teeth can make it hard to chew, smile, or speak comfortably. That’s where prosthodontics comes in—custom solutions to replace missing teeth and restore your confidence.
We offer:
Dental implants for permanent replacement
Bridges for one or more missing teeth
Full and partial dentures that look and feel natural
Many of our Walnut Creek patients choose implants for their long-term stability. With today’s technology, replacements blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Oral Surgery and Sedation Dentistry
For patients who need extra care, comfort, or surgical treatment, we offer oral surgery and sedation dentistry right here in our Walnut Creek office.
Services include:
Tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth)
Implant placements
Bone grafting and sinus lifts
IV and oral sedation options
Our sedation methods help calm anxiety so you can relax throughout your visit. Whether you need a complex procedure or just feel nervous about dental care, our team makes sure you’re safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Dr. Mohammad Khandaqji is an excellent doctor. He made me feel extremely comfortable while having my wisdom teeth removed. He would make sure I wasn’t feeling any pain and if I did he would stop and add more local sedatives immediately. He and the nurse helped me not feel anxious about the procedure and made me feel like I was in trusted hands at all times. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing any dental procedure.
