Straighten Your Smile with Ease with Invisalign.

Having a misaligned or gapped smile is never an easy thing to live with, and you may feel as though you are merely settling for the smile you were given. Though you may have considered straightening your smile, the idea of having a mouth full of metal may have deterred you from seeking the orthodontic treatment you want and deserve. Dealing with wires and brackets associated with traditional braces are never comfortable, and the dietary restrictions are not something to look forward to either. Thankfully, Dr. Stephanie L. Santos and Dr. Vinita John Folck are able to straighten your smile with ease by offering Invisalign to their patients at their Virginia Beach, VA dental office.
The wonderful thing about Invisalign is the fact you are able to align your smile without compromising the way you look. Invisalign works through a series of aligners that gently straighten your teeth, and the aligners sit nearly invisibly on your smile! That way, you are able to get orthodontic treatment without making it blatant. Our doctors will make impressions of your smile, and send that information to have your custom aligners made. The wonderful thing about having your aligners custom made is the fact that your treatment is personalized specifically to you, and it will ensure amazing results. You wear each aligner for a specific amount of time, as no aligner is identical to the other. Each one is indicative of a different step in your treatment process, so when you are finished wearing one aligner, simply apply the next one in the series to continue your treatment!
One of the amazing benefits of Invisalign is that you are able to experience complete dietary freedom. With traditional braces, there are certain foods you cannot eat, as the wires and brackets get in the way. So now, not only is your treatment more comfortable, but it is more enjoyable. Also, you are able to experience better oral health with Invisalign. Any time you need to eat, drink, floss, or brush, simply remove and reapply the aligner when needed! If you would like our doctors to help you straighten your smile using Invisalign, contact our office today!

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants!

Having teeth missing from your smile can be detrimental to the way you feel about yourself as well as the way you interact with the people around you. Our smiles are how we show friendliness to others, nourish ourselves, and communicate with people. If you have a smile that is not complete, you may feel as though there is nothing that can bring back the life your smile once had. Though you may have considered dentures and partials as tooth replacements, you may be wanting a more permanent solution to your smile woes. Thankfully, Dr. Stephanie L. Santos and Dr. Vinita John Folck are able to give you the smile you have been wanting by offering dental implants to their patients at their Virginia Beach, VA dental office.
Dental implants are a permanent solution to having a smile that is not full, and it yields amazing results. You begin the process with a consultation with one of our doctors. They will have to determine whether or not you are a candidate for dental implants my evaluating the current state of your smile, your gum health, and your bone density. Dental implanting involves embedding a titanium post into your jaw bone. Over time, the post will promote healthy bone growth, as well as fuse with the implant itself, creating a strong bond. Once the proper amount of healing has taken place, our doctors will make custom crowns to place atop the implant. The crowns look just like natural teeth, making your smile makeover look as organic as possible.
One of the amazing things about dental implants is that you are able to regain the confidence you may have lost. Feeling insecure about your smile is never easy on anyone, and when you feel confident in the way you look, many positive things are sure to follow. If you would like our doctors to help restore your smile with dental implants, contact our office today!
