Welcome to Lifestyle Dentistry Berkeley

At Lifestyle Dentistry Berkeley, Dr. Nisha Kalra and staff provide comprehensive dental care and promote optimal oral hygiene for all of our patients. As a natural healthcare provider, we educate our patients about lifestyle choices that prevent dental disease and promote overall health and wellness.

Lifestyle Dentistry Treatments

We offer a variety of comprehensive dental services. Our integrative health approach improves your overall well-being so that you can look and feel your best. Here are a few of the dental services we provide:

Crowns and Bridges

A crown is a type of conservative restoration that is used to restore the shape, appearance and function of the tooth. A crown may be used if you have a large filling, broken tooth or a root canal. A bridge is made to replace one or more missing teeth and is held in place by your own teeth or by dental implants on each side.

Periodontal Therapy

Do you experience Dry Mouth or Xerostomia? Saliva is very important for your dental health and dry mouth can cause dental disease. Early detection of periodontal disease plays a crucial role in successful periodontal therapy.

Implant Crowns

When you lose a tooth, it is essential to get proper tooth replacement for a balanced bite, optimal function and esthetics. At Berkeley Lifestyle Dentistry, we collaborate with the best oral surgeons and periodontists to place implants and complete them with implant crowns.

Invisalign®

Invisalign’s clear, removable aligners are one of the most popular and modern approaches to straightening teeth. The system uses a series of virtually invisible aligner trays that are worn over your teeth. Treatment will include shaping, polishing and teeth whitening, if desired.

Removable Dentures

If you have suffered excessive tooth loss due to trauma or poor oral health, dentures may be a good option for you. A partial denture can be used when replacing a few missing teeth. Complete dentures can be used when there are no natural teeth remaining. Dentures are taken out for cleaning and stored overnight.

Children’s Dentistry

It is recommended that your child have their initial visit to the dentist by age one, or six months after the eruption of their first teeth. At Berkeley Lifestyle Dentistry, a child’s first visit is meant to be a happy one, laying the foundation for a positive experience on which to build their future dental home.

Dental Emergencies

What is considered a dental emergency?

Swelling or pain in your teeth, mouth, head or neck region
Traumatic injury to your jaw, teeth or mouth
Uncontrolled bleeding in the mouth
Any growth which looks, feels, smells or tastes unusual in your mouth.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please call us! We can usually accommodate urgent dental needs.

Berkeley’s Trusted Dental Practice

I am delighted to report that our new dentist, Nisha Kalra, who is taking over our dear Meeta Doshi's practice, is carrying on the same, fine, tradition of professionalism, skill, and caring. I have already had my teeth cleaned and two fillings replaced by Dr. Kalra and feel completely confident in her ability to care for all my dental needs going forward.

Very professional and complete teeth cleaning. Probably the best I’ve ever had. And Dr. Nisha Kalra post cleaning teeth and gum check/examine was icing on the cake.

Reed H. - Verified Patient

I had a cavity in a bit of a tricky location. Dr. Karla was thorough, efficient, and quick. No pain -- only the local area was numbed. I was very pleased with the work, and also with a dental cleaning done there recently.
