Teeth whitening can brighten your grin by multiple shades, eliminating any yellowing or stains that have built up over the years. With in-office and take-home options, you can whiten your smile in a single visit, or gradually over the course of a few weeks. With a brighter set of pearly whites, youll look and feel younger and more confident in your smile. A simple, non-invasive teeth whitening treatment may be the solution you need to achieve a sparkling smile.

When the upper teeth overlap in front of the lower front teeth, this is called an overbite. Overbites are actually extremely common, but they become an issue when the gap is too large. This can cause premature wear and tear, or you may suffer from jaw pain from misalignment. Invisalign can fix this deep bite and shift your teeth into a healthy position.

An underbite is when your lower front teeth are in front of your upper arch of teeth. Usually, this occurs due to the lower jaw being too far forward. Underbites can make it difficult to properly chew and speak, and may cause the teeth to wear down. In some cases, Invisalign can fix underbites, but severe underbites might require additional oral surgery to prepare for orthodontic treatment.

While they are very common, gaps between your teeth can make it much harder to keep food from getting stuck in the crevices. These spaces are also more likely to harbor bacteria that cause tender, sore gums and even lead to gum disease if not treated quickly enough. Invisalign can close these gaps and ensure a straighter, more seamless, and healthier smile!

Normally the upper and lower front teeth touch when the mouth is closed. If this is not the case, its called an open bite. Open bites can make chewing or biting certain foods extremely difficult. Invisalign can reposition the bite gradually until all teeth are aligned and sitting straight.

If there isn't enough room in your mouth for your teeth to sit straight, they can bunch up and overlap in uncomfortable ways that make brushing or flossing difficult. This is called crowding. Crowded teeth can make it difficult to brush and floss properly. If you arent able to maintain a good oral health care routine at home, plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria begin to build up. Over time, this leads to tooth decay, cavities, and sometimes even gum disease. Usually, Invisalign can fix most cases of crowded teeth. Simply come in to speak with your dentist to see if its the right choice for your smile.

Single tooth implants are the most-commonly used dental implant, and consist of two primary parts. The dental implant, or post, is a rod made of titanium and shaped like a screw. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is attached to the implant post, and is used to complete the restoration.To place a single tooth implant, the post is embedded directly into the jaw, where it bonds permanently with the surrounding bone tissue. While the gum is healing, a dental crown is crafted, and is eventually attached to the implant post with an abutment. This dental crown will mirror the shape, function, and appearance of a natural tooth to give your smile a natural look and feel. Made from durable materials, single tooth implants can last for decades, and, unlike a partial denture, will never shift, or move around.

Full-arch implants are a secure, durable alternative to traditional dentures for those patients who are missing all, or most, of their teeth. By placing a series of 4-6 dental implants per arch, you can enjoy the look and function of a new smile that can stand the test of time.These dental implants function like artificial roots that allow fixed dental bridges or a set of removable implant-supported overdentures to permanently bond to the jaw and gum line to restore your smile. Full-arch implants look and feel much more natural than traditional dentures, and will never shift or move when you eat or speak.

A scaled-down version of regular dental implants, mini implants are about half the size of their traditional counterparts. They can be used to restore a single tooth or several, but mini implants are most often used to anchor a set of implant-supported dentures in the lower jaw.Their smaller size makes the placement process for mini implants less invasive than traditional implants. Another advantage of their small size is that mini implants can often still be placed in your jaw even if it has been weakened by bone resorption after tooth loss.

For patients looking to permanently replace a full set of missing teeth, implant-retained dentures are among the most secure solutions available. After placing 4 or more implants in your jaw, the complete set of dentures is affixed to the anchors. Implant-retained dentures cannot be removed at home for daily cleaning, but that means patients with implant-retained dentures can brush and clean their smile like they would a set of natural teeth.

Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth can restore their smile with All-On-4 dental implants. By using just 4 implants, your entire upper or lower set of teeth can be restored in a single visit. All-On-4 is a much more permanent and natural-looking alternative to dentures, and is more cost-effective than replacing each tooth individually.

I brought my 89 year old mother who has dementia to see Dr. Park today. She is confused, not sure where she is most of the time. She had not seen a dentist since before covid. Taking her anywhere is a challenge, she lives in a memory care facility. The entire office including the receptionist, hygienist and Dr. Park combined their professionalism with genuine caring, respect and patience in how they treated and cared for my mom and me. A needed procedure which would have normally been postponed to another visit was done right on the spot to ensure her comfort and to make it easier on us in not having to come back again soon. A king and considerate sacrifice on their part. Thank you all.

Dr. Park is one of a kind dentist, and you'll definitely have one of a kind experience! And you'll find a happy, helpful and kind team as well. Dr. Park not only puts you at ease the whole time, but her attention to detail and her unwavering effort to resolve dental issues you might be having is unmatched. She'll be there with you until there's no need. I was having painful gum issues without any infection where my crown lies whenever I was under stress, but she figured out to shave off the part of the crown causing the painful on and off inflammation in the area when clinched, which was a simple solution that no other dentist was able to find out for over 20 years!

I was referred to Dr Park by a dear friend and visited for a cleaning a while back. I discovered our dental insurance didn't cover my visit afterwards. I had such a great experience that I came back anyway! Thanks to the entire team for their expertise, kindness, and professionalism. You're worth it!

I was a patient with the Dentist who had the practice previously. So, when Dr. Park took over I wanted to give her a chance. I did, and I am really glad I stayed! She is professional, efficient and funny. If you are looking for a great dentist with a great staff... Look no further. 11/10 would recommend her.
