Invisalign Braces From Dr. Rodgers Are a Clear Solution for a Straighter Smile

Back in June, we talked about how Six Month Smiles can help patients who want straighter teeth but don’t want to put up with traditional braces. But Six Month Smiles isn’t the only orthodontic solution available at Dr. Rodgers’ Dunwoody office.

With Invisalign clear braces, patients can straighten their smile more discreetly, while also firmly preserving the professional image they’ve invested in.

What makes this possible are Invisalign’s clear aligners. And because these aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat, brush, floss, and even for special events like a business meeting or a dinner out with friends. What’s more, treatment with Invisalign can typically be completed in just 12 to 18 months.

So How Can You Get Started with Invisalign?

Getting started is easy.

Once Dr. Rodgers has had a chance to look at your smile and talk with you about your options, he’ll take an impression of your teeth and create a detailed treatment plan. The Invisalign lab will use both of these to create a series of aligners for you.

When your aligners are ready and have been shipped back to our Dunwoody office for you to pick up, you’ll just need to wear each set for about two weeks, and about 22 hours each day. As you go through each set, your teeth will be comfortably shifted into their correct alignment. And because Invisalign doesn’t use brackets or wires, there’s no need to have anything tightened. You’ll just need to see us periodically so we can check you progress.

To find out if Invisalign clear braces are right for you, call our Dunwoody office today to set up a visit with Dr. Rodgers. A straighter, more confident smile is within your grasp!

Tooth-Colored Filling, A Conservative Approach to Fillings

Dentists have long used amalgam fillings to treat tooth decay. But at Dr. Rodger’s Dunwoody dental office, we offer tooth-colored fillings.

As the name suggests, tooth-colored fillings can be shaded to match your smile, while amalgam fillings are dark and will stand out against your teeth.

Tooth-colored fillings have more than just an aesthetic advantage over amalgams, though. Because they don’t contain any metal, you don’t have to worry about tooth-colored fillings causing any temperature-sensitivity, nor will they change shape or crack over time. Instead, you can look forward to enjoy a strong, protected smile for years to come.

This is because tooth-colored fillings bond more tightly to your teeth and will even help support your remaining tooth structure. Amalgam fillings simply form a mechanical barrier instead of bonding tightly to your teeth.

That’s why we call tooth-colored fillings a conservative approach to fillings. Conservative dentistry is all about helping patients keep as much of their natural smile as possible. And with tooth-colored fillings, that’s exactly what Dr. Rodgers is able to do.

A Strong, Healthy, Natural-Looking Smile

If you live in Dunwoody, Roswell, Norcross, or in a surrounding city and you’d like to know more about tooth-colored fillings, call our office. Dr. Rodgers would be more than happy to talk to you and answer any questions you might have.

You deserve health, natural-looking smile, and we can help you with tooth-colored fillings.
