Traditional Braces

Metal Braces are a common type of orthodontic appliance used to correct various orthodontic problems such as crooked and crowded teeth, jaw problems, and a misaligned bite. They consist of high-grade stainless-steel brackets that are attached to the teeth with nontoxic dental cement and a metal archwire. The archwire is threaded through the brackets and tightened to apply gentle pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the correct position.

Metal braces are visible when you smile, but you can choose clear or tooth-colored ligatures to make them less noticeable or brightly colored ligatures if you want to add some fun! Either way, they are a reliable and effective option for orthodontic treatment and have become more comfortable, sleeker, and less conspicuous than they once were due to advancements in dental technology.

Lingual Braces are similar to traditional metal braces, but the brackets and wires are placed on the backside of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front.

Ceramic Braces are made of clear or tooth-colored material, making them less noticeable than metal braces. They work in the same way as metal braces but are more discreet. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets is that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Trends

Technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-colored dental materials make today’s cosmetic dental treatments more durable and predictable than in years past. Additionally, dentists are now using more conservative cosmetic dentistry techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, depending on your specific clinical situation.

Cosmetic dentists may also use technologies like lasers to perform some procedures necessary for cosmetic treatments in their own offices – without the need for referrals to specialists. This makes cosmetic dental procedures such as smile makeovers more comfortable and convenient for patients. It also helps to reduce recovery time.

My first time here was an emergency appointment. I was impressed with the bright and immaculate waiting area. Receptionist was very welcoming and pleasant. I was quickly taken to exam room. The dental assistant was so nice and kind. The dentist was great! They both calmed my fears and I felt that I was in good hands. My procedure went well. Everything explained and a plan was made for future appointments. I don’t know all of the names( I was very nervous when introduced to everyone)but I will. At checkout, she was also friendly, took her time explaining what will be needed next. I thank each one so much. Most importantly, I have a new dentist. Highly recommended.

5/5

I am very pleased with the dental care I am receiving from Dr. Alex Quintner and his team. Having all my natural teeth removed and replaced with permanent dentures is something I have been putting off for years. I am very glad to finally have the process well underway and I am extremely satisfied with the results. Ultimately it will take some months before I have the finished product but one day of surgery and I walked out with temporary fixed dentures. It was an immediate improvement. Even considering the bit of physical discomfort from the surgery and a short time thereafter, I was promptly recognizing a vast improvement over what I had come accustomed to tolerating day in and day out for years prior. Thanks!

5/5

Best dentist I have ever come across in the 64 years of my life. Meticulous, careful, and very caring. The office is equipped with the latest technology (for example a 3 D printer) which makes receiving crowns, implants, and night guards etc. so much faster. Highly recommend the dentists there.

5/5

I was treated very well by everyone I came in contact with and Dr Alex really took his time explaining the different procedures available. Going to the dentist is no one’s idea of a fun time, but it doesn’t get much better than this.
