When I bought the practice the previous dentist was still using film and paper charts. Now we are fully digital and using all of the cutting edge technologies. We do Wellness scans every time you come in which tracks changes in your mouth, shows you a 3D replica of your mouth and does a simulation of what your teeth look like now and what they could look like with Invisalign. We offer in house dental memberships for our non insurance patients but for our insurance patients we check all benefits ahead of time so we can give you accurate treatment plans. Everything we do is purposeful and intentional so we can be our best for our patients.
