Aligner treatment is ideal for individuals looking to straighten their teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Candidates include kids, teens, and everyone with mild to moderate dental issues such as crooked teeth or gaps. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligner treatment is a great option for those seeking a discreet, comfortable, and flexible solution.
Aligner treatment works for adults, kids, teens, and general candidates who have healthy teeth and gums, are committed to wearing the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, and are motivated to follow the treatment plan. A consultation will determine if this option is the right fit for your needs. At times, the orthodontic alignment can be more complex, and our team will set you up with an Orthodontist to aid in moving teeth as needed.
After a full examination, Dr. Vinson and her team will perform an analysis of your smile. We will discuss your goals and what you like and dislike about your smile. Every question deserves an answer, which is why we take the time to listen to your concerns before evaluating your teeth and bite to ensure a customized result that is best for you and the health of your mouth.
Using our TRIOS 3D scanner, we create a precise 3D scan of your teeth that will allow us to map out a custom treatment plan for your Clear Orthodontic journey. Using your scan and with your goals in mind, we will design the roadmap for your treatment. We will show you a 3D simulation of your teeth from start to finish so you know exactly what your final result will be.
From simple adjustments to fixing bigger issues, clear orthodontic aligners are a comfortable and flexible way to change your smile in as little as six months. Powered by the latest technology we customize orthodontic treatment plans to give you the best and healthiest outcome.
All-on-X dental implants are permanent screwed in prosthetics that are brushed and cleaned like natural teeth, do not have to be taken out, do not need adhesives, are comfortable because they do not press down on your gums, allow you to experience the hot and cold of your food, as well as the taste, allow you to bite with increased force (up to 70% more), so you can eat all of your favorite foods again, prevent bone deterioration and restore your facial features.
Absolutely. This technique gives you permanent teeth that look, feel and function just like real prosthetics. No one will know you have implants unless you tell them. Many of our photos on the website are of natural looking smiles restored with the All-on-X procedure. Visit our before and after page to read stories from real patients who have received dental implant treatment.
Published studies show a 98% success rate using All-on-X dental implants. It is very important to keep up with regular hygiene visits to keep the area around the implants clean and disease free. Also, smoking is a major factor in the failure of all dental implants.
As with any surgery, you need time to heal. A temporary set of teeth will be placed on your implants at the time of surgery. Adjustments by Dr Vinson will be made during the healing process, which can take 3-6 months. Once the healing process is complete, your permanent prosthetic will be placed after a series of visits with Dr Vinson to finalize your smile.
This procedure can be placed on just the upper or lower arch. Dr Vinson will evaluate your specific circumstance and determine if you would benefit from both upper and lower arch surgery, or if you are a candidate for a single arch replacement. This service will be tailored to your individual needs.
Dental implants should be treated like your natural teeth with daily brushing and water-flossing. Our dental hygienists will review oral hygiene instructions with you and will recommend the most appropriate oral hygiene schedule that fits your needs. Implants can’t get cavities, but they can get bone disease, which is why a regular hygiene schedule should be maintained.
