Your mouth is an amazing, beautiful, and extremely complex part of your body. Your teeth must tolerate freezing temperatures, like ice cream, and near boiling temperatures, like coffee. They must tolerate pressures exceeding 600 pounds per square inch. The rest of your body relies on your mouth to properly prepare a healthy diet for digestion. Not only this, but for most people, the teeth must be presentable and attractive. Your smile is typically the first thing that others notice about you. Over 90% of Americans agree that a beautiful smile is an important asset.

A bright, attractive smile does wonders for your self-esteem, changing the way you see yourself and the world around you. Recent studies indicate that a beautiful smile can make you appear friendly, interesting, and even more intelligent. You can choose to be more attractive and successful, and we can help. Dr. Gupta provides many cosmetic therapies designed to rekindle your smiles appearance and self-image.

If youre concerned about the guilt, stress, and fear associated with dental care, you arent alone. Dr. Gupta and his team understand and respect each one of your concerns and encourage you to let us know how you feel. Weve listened to our patients through the years, and heres how weve addressed a few of the stressful issues theyve expressed.

Because the mouth is a porthole to the body, we take great precautions to ensure a clean treatment room and tools. An autoclave heats all of our reusable dental instruments to extreme temperatures, which kills germs and bacteria. The sterilized instruments are then sealed, so they stay sterile until we use them. We also disinfect all surfaces in the treatment rooms after we see a patient. This includes the dental chair, trays, countertops, and surrounding fixtures. When possible, we use disposable products in all dental procedures to eliminate any possibility of cross contamination. Each year, our team trains in the latest guidelines and procedures mandated by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control).

Many people postpone dental care because they dont want to feel guilty. Perhaps finances, time, or fear keeps you from annual checkups and restorative dental work. Dr. Gupta wants to know what concerns you so that he can consult with you to find a solution. There is no need to feel guilty about the condition of your mouth, either. In fact, if you havent visited the dentist in a while, and you know that you need multiple fillings or crowns, we will applaud your decision to get back on track for good oral health. And well work with you to find options that fit within your lifestyle and limitations.

One bad dental experience can affect a person for the rest of his/her life. Dental fear is a very real problem. If you experience dental anxiety, youre not alone. Dr. Gupta understands that the fear you feel when faced with a visit to the dentist can be scary or even debilitating, and it keeps an astonishing number of people from seeking dental care. Oftentimes just talking openly with Dr. Gupta and building trust can relieve dental apprehension or anxiety. Our gentle chairside manner and nest approach to dentistry may help you feel better about visiting the dentist. Many times, patients have a fear of the unknown. Dr. Gupta will discuss your oral health problems openly, in terms you can understand. Hell give you options for treatment, and then you can make informed, wise decisions about your dental care.

However, if you think you would benefit from premedication sedatives, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation and post-operative analgesics, Dr Gupta will be more than happy to discuss these options with you. Our office offers nitrous oxide sedation to all our patients at no additional charge.

Thank you for choosing us as your oral healthcare providers. With us, you can expect a simple, honest, and direct approach to dentistry. We look forward to meeting you, getting to know you, and helping you develop and maintain a healthy smile that will serve you well for years to come.

Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell youre wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective.

You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move little by little, week by week until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Antonious has prescribed. Youll visit Dr. Antonious about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months but this will vary from case to case.

By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth with results youll notice sooner than you think. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two to three weeks, moving your teeth into straighter position step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile. And unlike braces, these clear aligners can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth as usual.

An average Invisalign course of treatment takes about a year. Youll see your Invisalign Accredited Dentist every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and to check progress. At regular intervals, youll receive a new set of custom-molded clear aligners to continue the straightening process. The total number of clear aligners is specific to you, determined by your dentist for your course of treatment.

Since Invisalign is practically invisible, theres no unwarranted attention to your mouth. In fact, very few people will notice at all unless you tell them. Theyre comfortable to wear and remove easily when you eat, brush, and floss.

Teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced can create unhealthy conditions, including swollen gums, redness and pocketing, all of which are signs of periodontal disease. As Invisalign invisibly straightens your teeth, it can also do great things for the health of your mouth.

Clinical studies have shown that gum health may improve with the use of Invisalign during orthodontic treatment. Properly aligned teeth can help gums fit tighter around each tooth, which may lead to better periodontal health. Unlike braces, with Invisalign, you can brush and floss normally, which can help prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Unlike traditional orthodontics or braces, Invisalign has no metal bands or wires to trap food and plaque. Maintaining a good oral hygiene program will also reduce chances of plaque buildup, tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. Its successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth. It can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, underbites and even crossbites. In fact, an Invisalign Accredited Dentist can use Invisalign clear aligners in all or part of just about any treatment plan.

Because Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to position and straighten teeth, you can keep your active lifestyle during treatment. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners have no metal bands or wires to irritate your mouth. So go ahead and be as active as you like. Since Invisalign is removable, just take the clear aligners out for special events or if youre going to indulge in a sticky, gooey snack.

Of course you want to look great, at work, at school, with friends. Maybe you speak to groups or conduct meetings. You still can. Because Invisalign is clear and nearly invisible, most people will never know youre straightening your teeth unless you tell them. And when your course of treatment has ended, you can feel more confident, whether in front of people or not. Youre going to have a stunning smile.
