The best dental outcomes rarely happen by accident. They happen because patients and their care team work together consistently, catching small concerns before they become big ones and building a relationship rooted in trust and genuine attention to your long-term wellbeing.
At Arches Dental Care, Dr. Bhrita Parikh and Dr. Aakar Chokshi provide comprehensive general dental care in Indian Land, SC, for patients at every stage of life. From young children coming in for their first visit to adults managing more complex oral health needs, our team brings the same thorough, honest, and compassionate approach to every appointment. When you walk through our doors, you are not just another name on a schedule. You are a patient whose health genuinely matters to us.
There is a real difference between a dental practice that gets through appointments and one that truly invests in your health. At Arches Dental Care, we hold ourselves to a higher standard because your smile deserves more than the minimum:
Twice-yearly cleanings and exams are the foundation of a healthy smile, and no amount of diligent home care can fully replace them. Even the most thorough brushing and flossing routine leaves areas that are difficult to reach, and plaque that hardens into tartar can only be removed with professional tools.
At Arches Dental Care, your cleaning and exam visits are anything but routine checkboxes. We will take a careful, detailed look at your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health while our hygiene team removes buildup, leaving your smile genuinely clean. It is a small investment of time that pays significant dividends over the long run.
Healthy habits start early, and the experiences children have in the dental chair during their earliest years shape how they feel about oral health for the rest of their lives. At Arches Dental Care, we love seeing young patients and work hard to make every visit feel comfortable, positive, and even fun.
Dr. Parikh and Dr. Chokshi are experienced in caring for children’s developing smiles and take the time to educate both kids and parents on the habits that set the stage for a lifetime of good oral health. Whether it is your child’s very first visit or a routine cleaning, you can count on our team to make them feel right at home.
Dental emergencies have a way of arriving at the most inconvenient times, and when one strikes, the last thing you want to hear is that you have to wait. Whether you are dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or a lost restoration, Arches Dental Care is here for you when urgent situations arise.
Dr. Parikh and Dr. Chokshi prioritize emergency patients and work to get you seen, comfortable, and on a clear path to recovery as quickly as possible. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, call our office right away. We are ready to help.
Persistent bad breath is rarely just a dietary issue. In most cases, it signals an underlying oral health concern such as gum disease, bacterial buildup in hard-to-reach areas, or chronic dry mouth that deserves real professional attention rather than a temporary fix.
At Arches Dental Care, Dr. Parikh and Dr. Chokshi will identify the true source of your chronic bad breath and develop a targeted treatment plan to address it at the root, not just cover it up.
Many patients who grind or clench their teeth do so during sleep without ever realizing it. Over time, this habit, known clinically as bruxism, can wear down enamel, crack teeth, cause chronic jaw pain, and lead to damage that is both significant and costly to repair.
A custom-fitted nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep, preventing that damage before it occurs. Unlike store-bought options, the nightguards at Arches Dental Care are precisely fitted to your bite for maximum comfort and long-term effectiveness, making them easier to wear consistently and more effective at protecting your smile night after night.
Oral cancer screenings are one of the most important things that happen during your routine exam, and one of the easiest to overlook. Early detection is the single greatest factor in successful treatment outcomes, which is why Dr. Parikh and Dr. Chokshi include a thorough screening as a standard part of every comprehensive visit.
In just a few minutes, our team will carefully examine your lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and surrounding tissues for any signs that warrant further evaluation. It is a simple step that can make an enormous difference if anything is ever found.
A cracked tooth can range from a minor cosmetic imperfection to a serious structural concern, depending on its location and depth. Left untreated, cracks can worsen over time, allow bacteria to enter the inner tooth, and eventually lead to infection or tooth loss.
Dr. Parikh and Dr. Chokshi are experienced in diagnosing and treating cracked teeth using solutions ranging from dental bonding and crowns to more involved restorative care, depending on what the tooth needs. If you are noticing sensitivity, discomfort when biting, or suspect a crack, do not wait. Early treatment almost always means a simpler and more affordable solution.
Every dental procedure exists on a spectrum. On one end are simple, affordable preventive measures like cleanings, exams, and screenings that take minimal time and proactively protect your smile. On the other end are the restorative and surgical procedures that become necessary when those preventive measures are put off for too long.
The goal of general dentistry at Arches Dental Care is to keep you firmly on the prevention side of that spectrum. Dr. Parikh and Dr. Chokshi take the time to identify risks early, address concerns before they escalate, and build a thorough, long-term understanding of your oral health so that every recommendation they make is truly personalized to you.
Patients who stay consistent with their care do not just save money over time; they also improve their health. They enjoy healthier smiles, fewer surprises, and greater peace of mind about their overall health. It all starts with a single appointment, and we make it easy to get there. We accept most PPO insurance plans, and flexible financing options are available for any treatment not covered by your plan.
