What is Invisalign treatment and how much does it cost?

Invisalign Treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces. Invisalign treatment typically costs about the same as braces. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment the same way they cover braces. Your insurance may pay for a certain percentage of your Invisalign treatment, or it may pay for a certain dollar amount. Every smile is unique, which is why your Invisalign treatment starts with a FREE consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Kathiriya will help you determine what Invisalign treatment could do for your smile, how long it would take to complete it and how much it will cost based on your insurance coverage.

What issues can dental veneers address?

Dental veneers can effectively address various cosmetic concerns, including stained or discolored teeth, chipped or worn teeth, misaligned or uneven teeth, gaps between teeth, and teeth with irregular shapes or sizes. Dental veneers are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a natural and aesthetic result. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, giving you a beautiful and natural-looking smile.

What are the benefits of teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening can enhance your smile by removing stains and discoloration, giving you a brighter and more confident smile. It is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your teeth. Consider any existing tooth sensitivity or sensitivity to certain products. Teeth whitening can cause temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation in some individuals. If you have a history of tooth sensitivity or gum problems, it's important to discuss this with Dr. Kathiriya to determine the most suitable whitening option for you.

How can I prevent dental cavities?

To prevent dental cavities, brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings. Encourage children to develop good oral hygiene habits early on. Teach them proper brushing and flossing techniques and ensure they visit the dentist regularly.

What options are available to replace a missing tooth?

There are several options to replace a missing tooth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. The best option for you depends on your specific needs and oral health condition. Please reach out to our office if you want to consult with Dr. Kathiriya about your case.

What is the best age for children to start visiting the dentist?

Children should start visiting the dentist around their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth eruption. Early dental visits help establish good oral hygiene habits and allow the dentist to catch any dental problems early on.

OUR OFFICE WELCOMES NEW PATIENTS DAILY

To get a full picture and set the course for your relationship with us, we take a series of digital x-rays of all your teeth. Digital X-rays require 1/10th the radiation of traditional film X-rays and are the safest form of detecting cavities known to man.

No two patients will have an exact dental health history, so why would they need the exact same treatment? Dr. Kathiriya takes great pride in the fact that she customizes each patient's care and treatment to the individual needs of her patients.

You are a part of every decision made about your dental treatment at our office. You decide what dental treatment we will or will not do. We always want you to be fully aware and educated about any procedures or treatments that are recommended for you by Riverside Dental.
