Dentures and Denture Repair
Removable appliances used to replace many or all the teeth in the mouth. Dentures can be supported by implants for a more secure option.
Invisalign is the trade name and the leader in invisible braces. it uses clear aligners (transparent mouth guards) that are digitally designed and printed to move teeth.
The procedure starts with a thorough examination including digital x-rays to ensure the teeth and bone are healthy. Photos, scans, and impressions are taken and sent to the Invisalign laboratory. A detailed digital report is then prepared which shows the sequence of movements and the final result that can be expected. When the dentist and the patient approve the plan, a series of upper and lower aligners are fabricated, and small white attachments / buttons are bonded to the teeth to secure the aligners. These trays are worn day and night for 2 weeks. They are only removed to eat and to clean the teeth and the aligners. At the end of each 2 week cycle the aligners are changed for the next set. Each set of aligners has a distinct movement to perform.
Invisalign quickly and unassumingly moves teeth into their ideal position creating a radiant smile. Ideal alignment aides in creating an environment that is easier to keep clean and prevent disease. Addressing alignment and bite issues prevent excessive wear, jaw pain and future tooth loss.
Cosmetic dentistry combines both aesthetics and proper function; we want to achieve both healthy and radiant smiles.
