Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 5

Braces
While orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or invisible braces,î or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth.

Advance Patient Comfort

The Stabident System™

This computer-controlled system allows our dentists to numb just a single tooth, rather than a larger area, in just minutes. The standard anesthesia shot takes between 8 to 12 minutes to take effect. The Stabident system will work in one or two minutes, is pain free, and lasts the same amount of time as with a regular injection.

A Painless Injection

With the Wand™, patients are amazed that they can receive an anesthetic injection and not feel a thing! This high-tech, computerized delivery system is the latest advancement over the 150-year-old technology of the syringe. It also provides a very accurate level of medication. No longer do patients have fears or worries about the pinch from shots.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 4

Bonding
Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or “bonds” materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.

Dental Sealant for Children

An Easy Preventive Treatment for Children and Adolescents

If bacteria are not cleaned off the surface of the teeth, it will lead to decay. Any size cavity is permanent damage and will need a restoration of a filling or crown. Often the bacteria in the grooves of back teeth are missed, and plaque will build up and eventually lead to decay. 

An excellent preventive treatment is one application of a dental sealant. After all teeth are cleaned and sterilized, one thin coating is applied to all the surfaces of teeth. It is transparent and invisible. To bond the sealant to teeth, the dentist uses a curing light. And that is the entire procedure that takes just minutes. No shots or drilling are necessary. It is quick, easy, and does much to prevent the onset of decay both for children and teens.
