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.

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?

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental Bonding, also known as Cosmetic Teeth Bonding is a cosmetic procedure that allows the dentist to reshape or repair your smile using composite resin. Cosmetic bonding is particularly ideal if you’re insecure about the appearance of your smile or want an affordable alternative to invasive and more costly procedures such as orthodontics or veneers. With bonding, chipped or uneven teeth can be repaired easily and affordably, restoring your self-confidence. Additionally, bonding is often completed in a single visit and doesn't require any anesthetic! Dental Bonding can serve many purposes, such as:

Filling in cavities
Correcting tiny chips or cracks
Concealing minor stains
Reducing small gaps between teeth
Covering up and protecting exposed tooth roots
Building up worn-down or misshapen teeth

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Natural-looking results. Because composite resin is color-matched to your teeth, no one should be able to tell you even had dental work done.
Fast, painless results. Compared to many other cosmetic dentistry procedures, bonding gives you the smile of your dreams quickly, often in just one visit.
Conservative treatment. While porcelain veneers require the removal of enamel, we shouldn’t have to sacrifice any of your natural tooth structure to place bonding.
Cosmetic teeth bonding is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic dental treatments available today. Within hours, your tooth should be more than ready to be shown off to the world!
