Invisalign

Orthodontics That Will Keep You Smiling
Do you dream about having a smile full of sparkling, straight teeth, but you just can’t imagine yourself wearing traditional metal braces? You’ve probably invested in a professional, mature image, and you shouldn’t have to look like a teenager to straighten your teeth. We agree. Now we can make your dreams come true.

Invisalign®, an orthodontic treatment approved by the FDA, is the virtually invisible method to straighten your teeth without conventional metal braces. With Invisalign®, a custom-molded set of transparent, removable aligners will progressively reposition your teeth. You can simply remove the aligners before eating, brushing, flossing, or special occasions. This technology is more comfortable and convenient that traditional braces. Patients do not experience the mouth abrasions caused by metal and wires, and Invisalign® aligners are easy to clean. Adjustment appointments aren’t necessary, either.

How does Invisalign® work? First, we use 3-D computer imaging to design a comprehensive treatment plan. This allows you to preview the final positioning of your teeth before you start treatment. Yes, you will see your future smile before treatment begins.

Then a lab will create a series of aligners to reposition your teeth over one to two years. You’ll change aligners every two weeks until your smile is straight and beautiful. Typically, you will visit us every six weeks for progress reports.

Transparent, removable, no-hassle orthodontia – now that should put a smile on your face!

Composite Resin Fillings

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 4:55 am

Many people ignore tooth or mouth pain, thinking it will go away. The truth is, the discomfort and damage caused by dental decay only worsens if left untreated. To esthetically restore the health of teeth compromised by tooth decay, Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng use tooth-colored composite resin fillings.

During your checkup or new patient exam, we’ll examine your existing dental work for wear and check the health of your teeth with our non-invasive DIAGNOdent laser. If you need a new filling or want old ones replaced, our dentists will tint a small bit of composite resin to blend with the color of your existing smile, then bond the resin into the prepared cavity in your tooth to restore structure and appearance. Durable composite resin fillings won’t warp or change shape, and they resists decay, providing long-lasting protection.

Call 817-292-5957 today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Stovall or Dr. Cheng. Our Fort Worth dental office provides functional, esthetically pleasing dental therapies to residents of Aledo, Weatherford, Benbrook, and surrounding areas.
