A Straighter, Healthier Smile
The Life-Changing Reality of Straight Teeth
While straight teeth are undoubtedly essential for a beautiful smile, properly aligned teeth have many other health benefits, as well. Crowded and crooked teeth can make it extremely difficult to properly brush and floss, resulting in plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease, which can in turn lead to even more serious health problems. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment will straighten your teeth, allowing you to practice a proper oral hygiene routine, which reduces your chances of decay and gum disease. Your new aligned bite will also enable you to comfortably eat the foods you love and thoroughly chew your food, which improves your digestion and nutrition. Our experienced dental team welcomes new patients and offers comprehensive orthodontics treatments. Schedule your orthodontics consultation today, and discover how we can straighten your teeth for an improved smile and overall health!
Our Orthodontics Treatments
Invisalign®
With a series of custom-made clear aligners, Invisalign gradually straightens your teeth. These removable aligners allow you to easily maintain your oral hygiene routine, without preventing you from eating the foods you love! Unlike bulky braces, these aligners are virtually invisible, making Invisalign a more comfortable and esthetically pleasing option for many.
Palatal Expander
Wisdom teeth are the final four molars (typically appearing between the ages of 17–25) that many people don’t have enough space for in their mouths. This often causes them to grow improperly, overcrowding your teeth, sometimes resulting in damage to your bite. Our pain-free extractions and restorative plans, keep your smile bright.
Surgically Facilitated Orthodontics Therapy (SFOT)
SFOT is an advanced orthodontic treatment that addresses underlying issues with the structure of your jaw to treat dental issues such as malocclusion (misaligned teeth/“bad bite”), overcrowding and crooked teeth. Instead of extracting teeth, which can lead to bone loss, SFOT adds volume to your jawbone to make more room for your teeth. Studies have shown that this orthodontic therapy can significantly reduce your orthodontic treatment time by an impressive 50%.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift is sometimes required during your bone grafting procedure. This specialized oral surgery treatment gives you more room for jawbone volume to support dental implants or dentures. Missing teeth or bone loss due to periodontal disease may cause your jawbone to become thinner over time. A sinus lift may be recommended to ensure your dental implants remain securely in place.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a specialized oral surgery treatment that involves replacing bone levels in the jaw. Usually due to missing teeth, bone loss is ongoing and needs to be treated to support a denture or dental implants. A bone grafting procedure involves taking bone from the patient or a donor source, then placing it at the site of bone resorption. Once the sutures are in place, the area is allowed to heal for a few months, to let the bone grafting material and jawbone integrate.
Dental Implant Surgery
A permanent replacement for missing teeth, dental implants are made up of three parts—the post, abutment and restoration. Dental implant posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone to anchor a new tooth or set of teeth. Modern dental implant surgery is precise, especially when computed tomography (CT) guided technology is used. Immediate load of a temporary restoration may also be available for qualifying patients!
