Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct misaligned teeth and bite issues through precisely adjusted brackets and wires. Our practice offers modern, smaller brackets for improved comfort and aesthetics. Treatment typically lasts 18-31 months, with regular adjustments every 4-6 weeks. We provide comprehensive care for children, teens, and adults seeking durable, cost-effective solutions for complex orthodontic needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-fabricated clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly without metal brackets. Patients receive new aligners every two weeks, with treatment averaging 12-24 months. The removable system allows normal eating and cleaning while addressing mild to moderate alignment issues. Our practice has extensive experience with Invisalign since its introduction in Philadelphia.
Adult Braces
Specialized treatment plans address adult orthodontic needs, including fast-acting options that focus on visible front teeth. Treatment durations range from 6 months for accelerated cases to traditional timelines of 18-31 months. We combine orthodontics with cosmetic dentistry when needed, offering discreet options like clear braces and Invisalign for professional lifestyles.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions by anchoring prosthetics directly to the jawbone. Our coordinated care involves oral surgeons for implant placement followed by custom crown or bridge fabrication. The process preserves jawbone density and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, requiring 3-6 months of healing before final restoration placement.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Comprehensive smile transformations combine orthodontics with cosmetic treatments like veneers, teeth whitening, and dental crowns. Our specialists address multiple concerns simultaneously, creating harmonious results that improve both aesthetics and function. Treatment plans may integrate orthodontic alignment with restorative procedures for optimal visual impact and long-term oral health benefits.
