Tooth Decay, Gum Disease and Straightening

Healthy smiles aren’t born, but molded. Teeth are molded into straight paths through dental devices. We specialize in shaping the teeth into smiles that are healthy, strong and durable for years to come. To steer clear of tooth decay, our patients practice proper oral hygiene habits such as brushing and flossing the teeth several times a day. Tooth decay (also known as dental caries) remains one of the most chronic diseases in children and adults according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. The American Dental Association has found that 91% of adults between the ages of 20-64 had dental caries and 27% had untreated tooth decay. With numbers like these,we work hard to take care of our patients and prevent decay from ever occurring.

Taking care of the teeth wouldn’t be complete without attention to the gums and soft tissues of the mouth. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has found that half of all American adults suffer from some form of gum disease. That’s 64.7 million adults to be exact! Gum disease is completely and 100% avoidable. All it takes is proper oral hygiene practices to rid yourself of the risk of gum disease. Not only do we treat problems with the teeth, but we also specialize in periodontics, or treating “the tissue around the teeth.” These treatments are specifically meant to combat the effects of gum disease. We tackle tooth decay and gum disease all in the same office. In addition to these services, we offer orthodontic care with Invisalign technology to help keep your smile healthy. 

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a new take on traditional metal braces, but instead of hard metal in your mouth, Invisalign consists of transparent, removable aligners designed to straighten the teeth through gentle pressure over time. Notice how we said “transparent”. That means you can straighten your teeth discreetly without anyone noticing. You can wear your aligners at work, at school, while playing sports, etc. An impression will be made of your teeth at your first visit with us. Over the course of your treatment, you will receive a new transparent aligner every few weeks that will gently shape your teeth into straighter and straighter paths. Results come without appliances being glued to the teeth.

Traditional metal braces require ample care to rid the teeth of trapped food and plaque buildup. With Invisalign, you can remove and clean your aligners with ease and stick to your normal brushing and flossing routine. No hassle and no extra time taken out of your day. Invisalign aligners work just as well as traditional metal braces when it comes to getting a straighter smile.

Why We Choose Invisalign

We’ve mentioned tooth decay and gum disease.  To combat these issues, we have invested our time and talents into providing our patients with the best technology out there to keep smiles healthy and straight. How do we do that while also giving patients the least risk for dental caries and gum disease? Invisalign! When cleaning the teeth is easier for our patients, they do it more. Invisalign is clearly the easiest option for straightening the teeth as you can brush and floss (and even clean your appliance) easier than any other orthodontic method out there. When proper oral hygiene habits are practiced multiple times a day, every day, our patients can keep their smiles healthy and free of dental caries and gum disease.

Every Part Is Needed for Healthy Teeth

The effects of dental caries, gum disease and even crooked teeth can be damaging to your health. Crooked teeth make cleaning harder, which ups your chances for oral health problems. That’s why we provide services to our patients in all of these areas, including orthodontic care. Amazing oral health would not be complete with solely treating the teeth. The gums must be treated as well. What makes treatment so much easier and the risk of oral health problems smaller? Straight teeth. Plus, with how easy Invisalign is to use, it literally is the simplest and most hassle-free way to a better smile.
