| Q. |
How much does Invisalign cost?
|
|
|
|
|
Like any other procedure it all depends on individual cases. However, the price is usually very similar to the pricing of normal brackets which range from $2000 - $4000. In some cases Invisalign will be cheaper since wear time could be less. For an accurate cost estimate it is highly recommended to schedule a free consultation and let one of our doctors examine your current condition.

| Q. |
If I have chronic bad breath do I need to visit the dentist?
|
|
|
|
|
Not necessarily. We strongly recommend first using an Antimicrobial Mouth Rinse 6 times per day for a couple of weeks to see if that takes care of it. If you have a waterpik and run the Antimicrobial Rinse through it that is even better. Sometimes food gets stuck in your gums and sockets which a waterpik can clean out. If all else fails then yes schedule an appointment with your dentist for an examination and solution.

|
| Q. |
What at home tooth whitening do you recommend?
|
|
|
|
|
We strongly recommend the Forte` Tooth Whitening Kit from Smile America. The reason is this kit comes with everything you need including the custom forming trays which zoom and nitewhite do not. It also comes with 4 large syringes that contain enough gel for approximately 10 whitenings per syringe. But one of the biggest reasons why we recommend the Forte` Tooth Whitening kit is it is virtually sensitive free. The product contains Calcium which acts as a buffer to the enamel so the teeth do not get sensitive. It is also one of the strongest strengths at 25%.

A common cause of migraine headaches is TMJ. If your jaw is not aligned properly or you sleep with your teeth clenched or even grind your teeth, this can all lead to TMJ and migraine headaches. Call our office at 916-721-3368 and schedule a free consultation. One of our professional doctors will be able to examine your current situation and come up with a solution for you.
