Comprehensive Services: Every Smile, Every Stage of Life
At Drs. Monday & Graziani, the philosophy is simple: every patient deserves access to the full spectrum of modern dental care, delivered with compassion, precision, and a commitment to long-term oral health. The practice has built its reputation on exactly this promise, offering services that span prevention, restoration, cosmetic enhancement, and surgical intervention all under one roof, and all delivered by highly experienced practitioners using state-of-the-art technology.
General & Family Dentistry
The foundation of any healthy smile is consistent preventive care, and Drs. Monday & Graziani make it both easy and welcoming for families to maintain their oral health. The practice happily welcomes children from as young as three years old, making it a true dental home for the entire family across all life stages.
Routine dental services offered include:
• Comprehensive dental cleanings and professional exams
• Dental X-rays utilizing advanced low-radiation technology
• Cavity fillings using tooth-colored composite materials
• Tooth extractions, including emergency extractions
• Root canal therapy to eliminate infection and preserve natural teeth
• Crown and bridge restorations for structural repair
• Dentures and partial dentures for full-arch tooth replacement
• Periodontal (gum) disease evaluation and treatment
The practice recommends bi-annual visits for most patients and works collaboratively with each individual to build a personalized preventive care schedule suited to their unique oral health needs.
Cosmetic Dentistry Elevating Confidence Through Stunning Smiles
A beautiful smile can change a life. The cosmetic dentistry suite at Drs. Monday & Graziani is designed to help patients achieve the smile they have always dreamed of whether that means a subtle brightening or a dramatic, complete transformation. Dr. Monday and Dr. Graziani both bring deep expertise in aesthetic dentistry, combining an artistic eye with surgical precision to deliver results that look natural, feel comfortable, and last for years.
Cosmetic services available include:
• Teeth whitening, including professional in-office Zoom whitening treatments for dazzling results in a single appointment
• Dental veneers custom-crafted thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain or resin, bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment
• Dental bonding for minor repairs and cosmetic improvements
• Smile design consultations to create a customized esthetic roadmap
For patients seeking porcelain veneers, the process is carried out in two carefully managed appointments: the first to design the smile, take impressions, and prepare the teeth; the second to fit and permanently bond the completed veneers, delivering a picture-perfect result.
Implant Dentistry Restoring Smiles from the Root Up
Dental implant placement is one of the most transformative services offered at Drs. Monday & Graziani, and it is also an area in which the practice excels with particular distinction. Dr. Monday's fellowship with the International Dental Implant Association and his extensive experience with implant placement and bone grafting means patients in West Virginia have access to implant expertise that rivals what is found in major metropolitan dental centers.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth, offering a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores full chewing function and protects the integrity of the jaw. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing unparalleled stability and preventing the bone loss that commonly follows tooth extraction. The practice performs implant placement surgery, bone grafting procedures, and full implant restorations, guiding patients through every step of the process with transparency and expert care.
Restorative Dentistry Rebuilding Strength and Function
For patients dealing with damaged, decayed, or missing teeth, the restorative dentistry options at Drs. Monday & Graziani offer a pathway back to full oral function and confidence. Restorative services include:
• Dental crowns to cap and protect damaged or weakened teeth
• Dental bridges to span gaps left by missing teeth
• Partial and full dentures for multi-tooth or full-arch replacement
• Root canal therapy to save infected teeth from extraction
• Tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with natural enamel
Advanced Technology Laser Dentistry and Low-Radiation Imaging
Drs. Monday & Graziani are committed to staying at the forefront of dental technology, investing in equipment and techniques that enhance precision, comfort, and patient safety. The practice utilizes:
• Diode soft tissue laser for minimally invasive gum treatments that reduce discomfort and accelerate healing compared to traditional surgical methods
• Low-radiation digital X-ray systems that capture high-detail diagnostic images while minimizing patient exposure to radiation
• Modern diagnostic tools for accurate assessment and treatment planning
The Diode laser is particularly noteworthy, enabling the dentists to perform a range of soft tissue procedures including gum contouring, frenectomies, and periodontal treatments with greater precision and significantly less post-operative discomfort than conventional approaches.
Sedation Dentistry Compassionate Care for Anxious Patients
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people avoid necessary oral care, often to their long-term detriment. Drs. Monday & Graziani address this head-on by offering nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) for patients who experience nervousness or anxiety during dental appointments. Safe, effective, and fast-acting, nitrous oxide allows anxious patients to relax completely during treatment, making the experience genuinely comfortable and enabling them to receive the care they need without fear or distress.
