If your goal is to straighten teeth that overlap, will you need to wear metal braces? Traditional orthodontic appliances produce positive outcomes, but they can make patients uneasy because they are both fixed in place and difficult not to notice.

At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we provide patients with the option of restoring how they look with Invisalign aligners. These appliances allow you to guide teeth so that crowding, gaps, and other problems with spacing no longer stand between you and your ideal smile. (more…)

How Lifelike Fillings Treat Dental Decay
How do you recover from the formation of a cavity? If you do not undergo treatment at all, the problem will keep growing more severe.

When the problem is caught and addressed early, you save more of your healthy enamel and make restorative work easier. With that said, there will still need to be a restoration placed. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we can use a lifelike dental filling to protect your tooth and preserve your smile. Fillings are applied directly where damage occurred to keep the space safe from further harm, and they allow your dentist to provide care while minimizing the overall changes to your tooth. (more…)
