Dakota Dental Announces Teeth Straightening Services For All Ages

Dakota Dental offers teeth straightening services through both Invisalign and traditional braces.

Apple Valley, MN, USA — The Apple Valley dentists at Dakota Dental want patients to have their best possible smile. From regular checkups and teeth cleanings to a total smile makeover, Dakota Dental has many dental services for patients to get a great smile. One of the most dramatic ways to improve a smile is to straighten it, by using traditional metal braces or using Invisalign.

Straightening teeth not only improves a smile cosmetically, but it also helps correct bite issues as well. Traditional braces consist of wire and metal brackets, and are affixed to the front of the teeth. Traditional braces are especially helpful for more complex teeth issues, from large gaps, fixing bites, and fixing crooked or crowded teeth. Traditional braces can also move the teeth faster than Invisalign, though the treatment plans for Invisalign can be shorter.

Invisalign is a set of clear trays that are custom-made for each individual patient. These trays are comfortable, removable, and they are typically changed out every two weeks. A benefit of Invisalign is, as its name implies, that it is virtually invisible. That makes Invisalign a great option for adult patients. Invisalign is typically used for fixing more cosmetic issues versus fixing complex dental problems.

Though knowing the difference between traditional braces and Invisalign, it’s important to discuss these options with your dentist to figure out the best choice for you. The family dentists at Dakota Dental will work with you and discuss your options. All it takes are a few simple steps:

1. Contact Dakota Dental to make a consultation appointment.

2. Discuss your options – Invisalign vs. braces – to see if straightening your teeth is a more simple or more complex fit, and to see which option makes the most sense for you and your teeth. You and your dentist can also discuss cost and what would make the most sense for you.

3. Come up with a treatment plan with your dentist.

4. Start creating a perfect smile!

Dakota Dental offers both traditional braces and Invisalign, and has years of experience helping patients get the perfect teeth they’ve been dreaming of.

Dakota Dental Announces Premium Dental Services Using the Latest in Technology

Dakota Dental stays up-to-date on the latest dental advancements and technologies to ensure patients have healthy teeth.

Apple Valley, MN, USA (November 22, 2015) — When it comes to dental work, it’s essential to keep up with the latest technologies. From cosmetic dentistry to general dental services, Dakota Dental is committed to treating patients with the newest and best practices in the industry to ensure good oral health.

Dental procedures have been documented since the time of the early Egyptians, when Aristotle and Hippocrates wrote about treating tooth decay and using wires to stabilize loose teeth. The field of dentistry has certainly come a long way over the centuries, and it is constantly evolving and expanding.

Dakota Dental uses digital x-rays, which are faster and contain less radiation than traditional x-rays. Not only is there less radiation, but dentists can zoom in for even more detail. Another advancement is with dental implants, which are screw-replacements for the root portion of missing teeth. These implants are used for patients with missing teeth that give the look and feel of a natural tooth.

Fillings have also come a long way over the years. In addition to the traditional amalgam fillings, Dakota Dental also offers tooth colored fillings to aesthetically blend in with patients’ teeth.

In terms of orthodontics, Invisalign braces are a practically invisible way to fix crooked teeth. Invisalign works by using a series of clear, removable, custom shaped aligners, which slowly straighten teeth. Compared to braces, the smooth aligners are more comfortable, faster, and invisible. Dakota Dental is a certified Invisalign provider, and provides a free consultation for patients considering if Invisalign is right for them.

Another cosmetic dental advancement is teeth whitening, which can lift off years of stains for a bright, white smile. Dakota Dental offers several solutions to whiten teeth, and walk patients through a custom teeth whitening plan that’s best for them.

These are just a few of the ways that Dakota Dental strives to use the newest technologies to make their patients more comfortable and give them the best possible dental care. Contact Dakota Dental today for more information or to make your next appointment.
