Most people will be candidates for Invisalign because it is non-invasive and does not require sedation or surgery. However, a dentist or orthodontist may recommend another orthodontic treatment for specific conditions or situations, including traditional orthodontics (braces) or other clear plastic aligners.

Invisalign is often recommended by dentists and orthodontists as a treatment option. However, like any dental device, there are some cases when the treatment plan will need to be adjusted. The results may vary depending on your specific treatment plan and the level of misalignment in your teeth or jaw. The aligners are removable, but patients need to be willing to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day to ensure the treatment will be effective.

The type of orthodontic treatment that will be most efficient and effective depends on how the teeth and jaw are arranged and the end goal of the treatment plan. In many cases, Invisalign can work faster than braces, but traditional braces may still be recommended by dentists for specific situations.

Many people are candidates for dental crowns. However, if you have gum disease or other oral health issues, you may not be a candidate until these issues are resolved. Your dentist must also determine that you have enough remaining tooth material for a crown to be successful (usually about one-third at a minimum).

The cost of this treatment will depend on the type of crown selected. Permanent crowns are more expensive than temporary crowns. Costs for permanent crowns range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. Other factors can also impact the cost, such as the amount of prep work a dentist needs to complete before securing the crown. Crowns may or may not be covered under dental plans; be sure to speak with your insurance company to learn more about your specific coverage details.

A temporary crown is typically made of acrylic and is held in place by temporary dental cement. It’s important not to put too much positive or negative pressure on the temporary crown to prevent it from moving or sliding off the tooth. While you have a temporary crown, avoid sticky, chewy, or hard foods and slide the floss out from between the teeth rather than lifting.

Traditional crowns cover the entire tooth. Meanwhile, onlays and ¾ crowns only cover the tooth partially. These are used when the tooth structure remains solid but is partially damaged or only requires partial coverage.

Although most people are candidates for veneers, there are some instances when veneers are not recommended. Patients must have healthy teeth and gums to receive veneers.

Both porcelain and composite veneers can have a beautiful effect on your smile. However, there are pros and cons to each material. Porcelain veneers tend to be more durable than composite, but they are often more expensive. Porcelain veneers also take longer to create, while composite veneers can usually be created and applied on the same day.

Veneers may or may not be covered under your dental plan (the amount of coverage varies from plan to plan). The type of veneers you choose may impact the price, along with other factors, including your current oral health. Although a single veneer may cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, many patients consider it an investment for the long-term because veneers last so long.

Although it is possible to remove veneers, porcelain veneers will need to be replaced. This is because the dentist will need to trim the tooth enamel before the veneer is placed. Without a veneer, there is no protective coating over the tooth. If you believe you may want your veneers removed in the future, a dentist may recommend Lumineers, which can often be removed without replacement.
