Services
Braces
Traditional and modern braces correct dental misalignments using brackets and wires. We offer metal, ceramic, and self-ligating options tailored to aesthetic and functional needs. Our team ensures comfortable fittings and regular adjustments to achieve optimal bite and smile alignment.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom 3D-printed aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Patients wear each set for two weeks, removing them for meals and hygiene. We provide treatment planning, progress monitoring, and retainer follow-up to maintain results.
iTero Scans
iTero scanners create precise 3D models of teeth and gums without messy putty. This technology enhances treatment accuracy and allows real-time visualization of expected outcomes, improving patient understanding and decision-making.
Emergency Care
We address urgent issues like broken wires, loose brackets, or severe discomfort. Our team provides immediate guidance over the phone and schedules same-day appointments to resolve problems and prevent treatment delays.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after braces or Invisalign. We offer Hawley, Essix, and fixed retainers, along with care instructions to ensure long-term stability of your corrected smile.
