Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners used for orthodontic treatment. It is a popular alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth and improving the alignment of the bite.

Unlike braces that use brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are made of clear, BPA-free plastic and are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth. They are virtually invisible when worn, which makes them a discreet option for adults and teenagers who may be self-conscious about wearing braces.

Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedation during dental treatment. Sedation is most commonly used during extensive procedures, for patients with dental phobia or for patients who find it difficult to sit still. There are different types of sedation, including nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”), oral sedatives and general anesthetic.Sedation can range from the use of nitrous oxide to calm a patient to general anesthetics used to put patients to sleep. Patients with dental phobia, low pain tolerance, major dental treatment, physical handicaps or strong gag reflexes may require sedation. Procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, cosmetic procedures and periodontal treatments often require some sort of sedation.Sedation is endorsed by the American Dental Association and is an effective way to make many patients comfortable during their dental visit. Before using a sedative or anesthetic, it is important to tell your dentist about any medications or medical treatments you are receiving. Before administering any sedative or anesthetic, your dentist will talk to you about the process of sedation and pre-and post-sedation instructions.

Dental Implants are an effective method to replace a single tooth or several teeth. Each implant consists of a metal anchor that is inserted into the jawbone and outfitted with an artificial tooth. Implants can support a bridge, replace a partial or secure a fixed denture.

A crown or bridge is a restoration that covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Its purpose is ti strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth. A Bridge is used to replace or fill a gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap — these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth — and a false tooth in between. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
