Services Offered
Emergency Dentistry in Walnut Creek, CA
Tooth pain never seems to wait for a good time. Whether it’s a cracked tooth during dinner or sudden swelling overnight, our emergency dentistry services are here to help fast.
If you’re searching for “emergency dentist near me” in Walnut Creek, call us right away. We handle:
Severe toothaches and infections
Broken or chipped teeth
Lost fillings or crowns
Gum pain or bleeding
Dental abscesses
Our office keeps same-day appointments for dental emergencies, and we offer oral sedation options for patients in pain or anxiety. Most patients tell us they feel immediate relief after a quick visit, and we always explain treatment options clearly before starting anything.
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 use advanced technology to move teeth quicker, often finishing in months rather than years. For those who prefer a nearly invisible option, Invisalign® clear aligners are a favorite among adults and teens around Walnut Creek.
We’ll take digital scans—no messy molds—and create a personalized plan that fits your schedule. Many patients in Downtown Walnut Creek love Invisalign because they can remove their aligners for business meetings or dinner without worry.
General Examinations and Preventive Dentistry
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.
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
If you’ve ever wished for a brighter or more even smile, cosmetic dentistry can make that happen. At Mona Lisa Smile Dental, we provide personalized smile makeovers that fit both your goals and your budget.
Popular options include:
Teeth whitening for stains or discoloration
Veneers to fix chips, gaps, or uneven shapes
Dental bonding for quick touch-ups
Smile design consultations with Dr. Khandaqji
Many of our patients visit us before big life events like weddings, interviews, or reunions. We help them feel confident walking into any room with a natural-looking, healthy smile.
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 learn good habits early, so they grow up without dental fear. Parents in Rossmoor and Ygnacio Valley love that we use gentle language, smaller instruments, and lots of encouragement.
We offer:
Routine cleanings and fluoride treatments
Sealants to protect baby and adult teeth
Education on brushing and flossing
Cavity repair and early orthodontic checks
Every child leaves with a smile (and a 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.
Our preventive care includes:
Professional cleanings and exams
Sealants and fluoride for cavity prevention
Gum health evaluations
Bite checks and night guard fittings
We often see patients from Saranap and Walnut Heights who come in every few months just to keep things on track. Preventive care saves time, money, and stress—and it keeps your smile bright all year.
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.
Our periodontal treatments help reverse early gum issues and manage advanced cases. We provide:
Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing)
Gum maintenance therapy
Laser-assisted gum treatment
Education on at-home care and brushing techniques
Dr. Khandaqji helps many patients who’ve noticed bleeding gums or persistent bad breath. With consistent care, your gums can heal and stay strong for years.
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.
