Invisalign is a great way to correct malocclusion without the hindered looks of metal braces. Anyone who had braces would tell you it wasn't all that fun to have metal brackets on your teeth and constantly getting your cheeks scrapped. Invisalign trays also known as clear aligners are almost invisible and are easy to wear, they are the future of orthodontics.

Like braces, Invisalign cases can take a while to finish and we are glad to present one of them here today. This patient had braces when she was a teenager but she did not wear her retainers ...

This patient came to us for routine dentistry and we found multiple cavities in the front teeth.  Patient hates the look of the front teeth and asked us if we can fix them.  We started the treatment with just doing fillings in mind for the front teeth, but decided to go a little further after we got in there.  We ended up doing multiple services for this patient: removing decay, removing stains, filling the cavities, and repairing chipped edges.  Patient was very happy with the surprised results at the end and we were happy to have made a difference!  

This patient presented to us because she does not like her two front teeth with old composite bondings.  They are dark and stained.  Staining and chipping are typical issues with composite bonding and they don't last as long as crowns.  After further discussion, we decided to move forward with crowns to improve esthetics of the front teeth.  Patient was very happy with the results and she no longer have to worry about her front teeth staining and chipping.  

This patient came to us with several issues and one of them is a missing front tooth.  He needed an efficient option that will fix most of his problems at the same time while minimizing cost.  Bridges are not typically recommended at our office between it has a few disadvantages.  It connects the teeth together so if you have 1 issue anywhere on the bridge it will involve all the teeth.  Cleaning underneath it is difficult and bridge requires us to cut away significant amount of tooth structure on teeth adjacent to the missing space.  However, sometimes bridge option can ...

This patient came to us because the front teeth are very yellow and patient does not like them.  The front teeth had old bonding done 25 years ago.  They lasted a long time but over the years they developed stains internally due to the old porous bonding materials.  Since we are unable to make them whiter with whitening, we have to remove the existing bonding and come up with new ways to make them look better.  

Patient and us went back and forth on what treatment options can achieve the best results and at the end we decided to go for ...

This patient came to us with many different dental concerns and one of them was the gap between the front teeth.  She did not like this gap and wishes to close it conservatively without doing extensive dental treatments.  After our discussions, we decided to use Invisalign to close the gap.  Invisalign is almost always a better option to improve patient's smiles than composite bonding, crowns, veneers, and bridges because natural teeth are permanent while all dental work have a lifespan and may have to be changed out in the future.  Please go under our services tab above and learn more ...

This patient came to us because his crown on his front tooth is getting loose and he had the crown for decades.  While he always knew the crown didn't look so great, he never cared enough to have it redone for cosmetic reasons.  Now that the crown is falling out, he doesn't really have a choice to have it replaced.  Patient's existing crown looks off because it's a porcelain-fused metal crown, which can look very opaque if the crown preparation design is not done right.  We decided to switch patient's crown material to a ceramic material with more translucency.  We ...

Patient presented with multiple missing teeth and did not like her smile.  We did a complete evaluation and went over a few options on how to replace the missing areas and improve her smile.  At the end, we decided to proceed with dental implants and replace some existing dental work to improve esthetics.  With the help of an oral surgeon, we were able to place implants, abutments, and crowns to replace her missing teeth.  We also replaced a front crown to achieve a more natural looking smile with a more contemporary crown material that is thinner and more translucent.  Overall, ...

This patient came to us because she's in need of a smile makeover but she couldn't afford to do crowns on every tooth.  In fact, she was only able to do a few crowns at a time.  We sat down together completed our exam, records, x-ray, and formed a treatment plan based on realistic goals and budgets that were possible for the patient.  We decided to remove hopeless teeth and do several crowns over a few appointments to at least stabilize the dentition and achieve a better smile.  Afterwards, we will revisit and decide how to replace missing teeth and ...
