It’s easier than ever to achieve a straight smile – without metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is the modern twist to braces, straightening your smile with clear, removable aligners.
What does this mean for you?
- Eat your favorite foods: Invisalign uses clear aligners, which are REMOVABLE. This means you can remove Invisalign when you need to eat, allowing you to dine on your favorite gourmet meals without worrying of disrupting your treatment.
- Brush and floss normally: With traditional braces, it’s difficult to keep your mouth healthy with brushing and flossing. Since the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss without difficulty, keeping your smile in tip-top shape.
- Virtually invisible: Hardly anyone will notice you’re receiving orthodontic treatment, thanks to the clear nature of the aligners.
- Incredible results: Depending on your case, Invisalign can last up to 1-2 years. In the end, you’ll achieve a straight, beautiful smile you’ll absolutely adore.
Do you have fine wrinkles you’d like to erase, or do you suffer from pain caused by jaw clenching or teeth grinding? Botox may be right for you, and it’s a safe and effective procedure when done by a qualified dentist.
Botox injections help relieve:
- Migraines and headaches or jaw and neck pain
- Pain from TMJ and TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder)
- Discomfort from teeth grinding (bruxism)
In addition to easing discomfort, Botox gives patients a more youthful appearance by relaxing the face. The safe injections may also help patients with a high lip line to achieve a more beautiful smile.
Looking for a conservative and affordable cosmetic solution for your smile? Cosmetic bonding may be your answer. Using a composite resin, bonding can fix many smile flaws, such as:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Gaps
- Stains
- And so much more
Bonding can be completed in just one appointment and doesn’t require shaving down your enamel. This allows you to love your smile quicker! Ask Dr. Balutowicz today to see if cosmetic bonding is right for you.
Bridges are another replacement option for missing teeth. A bridge consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) that is suspended across the space left behind by missing teeth. It is held in place by crowns bonded to each tooth on either side of the gap.
Bridges are an excellent option if you aren’t a candidate for dental implants or if you’re looking for a cost-effective solution to replace missing teeth. Talk to Dr. Balutowicz to discuss your missing teeth options.
Dentures help replace missing teeth. We offer full and partial dentures to help you smile with confidence again. Are you wondering if dentures are the solution for you? Dr. Balutowicz will gladly discuss the best options to replace your missing teeth.
Nothing beats natural teeth, which is why we do everything in our power to save them. Root canal therapy is the last line of defense to keep your natural tooth. Root canal therapy has received the stigma that it’s a painful procedure, but that is not the case – root canals actually relieve pain. At Kristen Balutowicz DDS, we’ll do our best to make your treatment a positive experience. We’ll work at your pace to ensure your smile is saved AND you’re comfortable during the procedure.
If your tooth is severely damaged or you need to make room for other dental treatments (orthodontics, etc.), an extraction may be your only option. Let us help make your procedure as comfortable and easy as possible. We will educate and work with you to ensure you understand the benefits of this procedure and how you’ll be comfortable throughout the entire process.
Dental implants are the next best option to your natural teeth. Not only do they replace missing teeth, but they can:
- Allow you to eat your favorite foods with ease
- Help you speak clearly without slurring and mumbling your words
- Stop jawbone deterioration (caused by missing teeth) to bring back facial support
- Last almost a lifetime (with the proper care)
Dental implants work in three parts. First, the titanium post is placed within the jawbone, which is done by an oral surgeon whom Dr. Balutowicz works closely with. Second, the abutment is placed to make room for a crown. Finally, Dr. Balutowicz will blend and shape a crown to blend with your natural smile.
In the end, you’ll walk out of our office with beautiful, functional smile.
‘‘I needed a new crown and was very nervous. When l arrived, the staff was friendly and organized. Getting the crown was much more PAINLESS than I ever hoped. Dr. B. and her assistant were kind, gentle and efficient, and precise. A very good experience. Glad Dr. B. is my dentist.’’
