BANGS or BOTOX ?

Botox Cosmetic        Botox injections is an extremely popular cosmetic procedure because it is a non-surgical way to reduce frown lines,forehead creases,crows feet & other wrinkles. It has fast results, is non-invasive & does not leave scars, but is also temporary and repeated every 3-6 months.
More and more Women & Men are turning to Botox injections to reduce the signs of aging.  The goal of Botox is a subtle softening, not complete elimination of facial expression lines
Discomfort is usually minimal & brief.  Most patients compare the sensation to a pin prick. Dr. Kathie uses topical anesthetic cream and ice packs for patient comfort.
Results are known to vary from person to person depending on their medical history and lifestyle.

Brighten Your Smile!

Brighten Your Smile With Whitening:

Often patients who come to our office would like to improve their smile.  The most common request from patients is to have their teeth whiter.  Whitening the teeth is a simple process which provides long term results.  The first step is to have an impression (a mold) of the teeth.  From this, a thin, flexible tray is custom made to fit your teeth.

Whitening Gel & Custom Trays

The whitening material is a thick gel which is dispensed from a plastic syringe.  The gel is a hydrogen peroxide derivative, (carbamide peroxide) & works by penetrating the tooth enamel and releasing oxygen to lighten the color of the teeth.  Only natural tooth structure will lighten, fillings or crowns will not change.
The difference between over-the-counter products and what is available only through our office is the concentration of the whitening gel, and the custom made tray, which is the key to getting the best results.  In order to get a good result, the whitening gel must be in contact w/ the tooth surface for a specified amount of time depending on the concentration of the gel, which can vary from  20%-30%.  It usually takes between 2-4 weeks to complete the whitening process.

Invisalign vs Traditional Braces

Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth using a custom made series of aligners created for you & only you.  These aligner trays are made of smooth,comfortable & virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth.  Wearing the aligners will gradually & gently shift your teeth into place based on the exact movements your dentist plans out for you.  There are no metal brackets to attach & no wires to tighten.  You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every 2 weeks,until your treatment is complete & you achieve the confident smile that you've always wanted.  The best part about the entire process is that most people won't know you're straightening your teeth.
