Teeth Whitening

Soon after starting treatment at our office for teeth whitening, you will start to see a whiter and brighter smile. With our whitening services, the effects of coffee, smoking, tea, and other causes for tooth discoloration will slowly disappear, leaving a beautiful white smile. Schedule an appointment for a consultation with your dentist to see if you’re a candidate for teeth whitening.

Opalescence Go™ Prefilled Trays

Patients who prefer to whiten on their own schedule can now choose Opalescence Go™ prefilled whitening trays. Each UltraFit™ tray is pre-loaded with precisely measured hydrogen-peroxide gel—no impressions or custom models are required. The flexible material adapts to every smile for even, molar-to-molar coverage, while added potassium nitrate and fluoride help reduce sensitivity during treatment.

Veneers

A veneer is a thin porcelain or ceramic restoration that is applied and bonded to the front of your existing tooth structure. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for correcting gaps between teeth, crooked or misaligned teeth, or discoloration resistant to dental bleaching.

When applied to the tooth, a veneer is virtually undetectable. Due to its thin nature, the veneer will take on the natural coloration of your teeth and allows us to be quite conservative in removing tooth structure.

ClearCorrect®

ClearCorrect is a simple, effective way to straighten teeth.

It is a clear and simple alternative to braces. ClearCorrect is a series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth as you wear them. Each aligner moves your teeth just a little bit at a time.

They’re practically invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re in treatment, they fit you perfectly, so they’re more comfortable than regular braces. Because they are removable, so you can eat whatever you like and clean your teeth normally.

Ask your doctor for more information about ClearCorrect and what it can do for you.

Snoring Therapy

Millions of people throughout the U.S. are affected by snoring. There are a range of treatment options for snoring. This includes making a change to your sleeping patterns or using an orthodontic appliance to help open your airways while you sleep. We will find a solution that works for you.

Please keep in mind that these are all causes for snoring:

Obesity
Smoking
Health Issues
Allergies
Daytime Fatigue
Alcohol

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Did you know that snoring and obstructive sleep apnea can be easily treated with surgery, a CPAP machine, or oral appliance therapy? Oral appliance therapy is the least invasive treatment option. It involves the selection, fitting, and use of an appliance to hold the jaw forward to maintain an open airway during sleep. Dentists with specialized training in oral appliance therapy to treat obstructive sleep apnea are uniquely qualified to treat OSA with customized appliances. Since oral appliances can affect the teeth and jaw, a dentist’s expertise in these areas is also required for successful treatment.

Your dentist will evaluate your specific symptoms and then select the most appropriate oral appliance to correct the airway obstruction and breathing conditions to make breathing easier. These oral appliances are discreet enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Rest easy, your dentist can help!

SomnoDent®

Fabricated from medical-grade acrylic with a soft B-Flex Comfort Liner, the SomnoDent appliance cradles the teeth and allows small, incremental adjustments to advance the jaw. Patients can open and close their mouth, speak, and even sip water while wearing the device, making nightly compliance easier.

Panthera Digital Sleep Appliance (D-SAD)

Created with CAD/CAM technology and 3-D printed from lightweight medical-grade nylon, the Panthera appliance offers a slim profile with minimal bulk, leaving more room for the tongue. Its titanium connecting rods come in 0.5 mm increments, allowing precise titration to achieve optimal airway patency. The Panthera Classic model is PDAC-approved for Medicare reimbursement under code E0486.
