Fulshear Dental’s Dr. Aekta
Fifadara is thrilled with the addition of her newest team member.
A familiar face in the office for several years, Dr. Kiran Makhnejia, also
known as “Dr. Mak,” observed and shadowed Dr. Fifadara while she was enrolled
in dental school. Now a full-fledged team member since her graduation, Dr.
Mak has seamlessly integrated her knowledge, skill, and fresh perspective to
Fulshear Dental’s popular practice.

A Dynamic
Duo

“Dr. Mak joined our practice one year ago and
has been an invaluable addition to our staff,” Dr. Fifadara said. “She’s a
phenomenal associate.” Raised in Katy, Dr. Mak discovered her passion for
dentistry as a student at The University of Texas at Austin, where she earned
a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry with high honors. While in college, she
served on a mission to Nicaragua, witnessing firsthand how the lack of dental
care in rural communities has impacted those individuals. After members of
the Nicaraguan community received professional dental care, she saw how it
improved their lives, igniting her passion and setting her career journey in
motion. She went on to receive her Doctorate in Dental Surgery at The
University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston, where she participated in
research, clinical humanities, and received extensive training in digital and
cosmetic dentistry.

Achieving
Patients’ Objectives with Tailored Services

Dr. Mak’s education and modern training is
the perfect complement to Dr. Fifadara’s top-tier clinical skill, honed and
refined over many years. Together, this dynamic duo offers the Fulshear and
Katy communities a clear advantage when it comes to providing excellent oral
health and smile transformations. Dr. Fifadara has gained invaluable
experience throughout her career in a wide range of dental specialties:
periodontal therapy, tooth extractions, root canal therapy, dentures, gum
contouring and crown lengthening, dental crowns, and metal-free,
tooth-colored restorations and fillings. Dr. Mak performs most of the same
procedures, focusing on restorative, teeth whitening, and cosmetic dentistry.
Both perform routine dental exams and cleanings and take special care in
devising treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. “We provide an
array of services because every smile and every patient is different,” Dr.
Fifadara explains. The addition of Dr. Mak to the team has also provided
patients with more available appointment times and extended office
hours.

Incorporating Innovative
Technology

Dr. Fifadara has always planned to steadily
integrate more state-of-the-art technology to her practice. As a contemporary
dental school graduate, Dr. Mak is accomplished in the latest technological
advances in dentistry, providing a great advantage to the patients and the
practice.

Fulshear Dental has acquired the
revolutionary iTero intraoral scanner for restorative and orthodontic
treatment. It replaces the gooey impressions process with an innovative
hand-held device that offers a cutting-edge full-mouth scan of your teeth.
Great for restorative work, Invisalign clear liners, and night guards, it
provides an accurate, digital image with quick turnover time. Used for
Invisalign, the iTero scanner shows the patient a before and after image
simulation to see what they would potentially look like after treatment is
completed.

Night guards help save the teeth from damage.
The iTero scanner reveals how patients are biting, where they’re grinding,
and the teeth’s hard impact areas. It’s helpful in visualizing what is
actually taking place when they clench, bite, and grind. Grinding and
clenching can damage teeth over time with recession being one of the major
signs. “Most patients don’t even realize they’re doing it,” Dr. Fifadara
said.

A Solid
Team

Providing dentistry with compassion and heart
has always been at the core of Fulshear Dental. Dr. Fifadara’s staff is
pivotal in creating an environment where patients feel appreciated and
welcomed. She strives to meet the demands of her community, continually
expanding her team to ensure everyone receives the quality care and
individualized attention her practice is known for. Each guest is always
greeted with a warm smile and friendly acceptance. Just like visiting friends
in your hometown, the familiar vibe fosters comfort and casual conversation
in a relaxed atmosphere that everyone enjoys.

Dr. Fifadara says the amazing patient reviews
continually brag on her awesome dental team. “I am very lucky to have such an
exceptional staff,” she said. “They go above and beyond with a compassionate,
attentive approach, making guests feel as though they’re in their own home.
From the friendly faces of their front desk to the registered dental
assistants and outstanding hygienists delivering gentle but thorough
cleanings, Dr. Fifadara and Dr. Mak endeavor to provide an exceptional dental
experience for each guest every time they visit.
