Invisalign is an innovative approach to orthodontic care that uses a series of clear plastic aligners custom-designed to fit your mouth. Over time, these aligners move your teeth into proper alignment just like metal braces, but without the discomfort and inconvenience associated with traditional braces.

Invisalign starts with an impression of your mouth using a special putty that preserves the position of your teeth. The impression is scanned by a computer and special software determines the series of shifts and movements your teeth need to make over time in order to achieve proper alignment. Based on that data, a series of aligners are created that you wear in sequence to move your teeth gently into their new positions.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the implant procedure, as it’s performed under local anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, even a lifetime. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene are key to maintaining your implants.

Dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. Factors like oral health, bone density, and proper aftercare play a role in the long-term success of the procedure.

 Most people with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants, but those with certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or advanced gum disease may need special consideration. A consultation with your dentist will help determine if implants are right for you.

 Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth—brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. Proper care is essential for the longevity of your implants.

The process varies depending on individual cases, but typically it takes a few months from implant placement to final restoration, as the implant needs time to integrate with the bone fully.
