Most patients are curious about what to expect from braces - that’s why we create an individual treatment plan and walk you through the process before the braces are placed. Typically, it takes two to three months to start noticing changes, but some patients see changes in as little as four weeks.
The time that a patient wears braces varies too! Most treatments last from 18 to 24 months but can be longer or shorter.
Book a consultation to find out what you can expect and if braces are right for you.

Helping someone else care for their teeth and gums isn’t always easy. They may not be able to brush or floss but it's important not to let those habits slide. Keeping the mouth clean lowers the risk of bacteria in the mouth moving into the lungs and causing infections. Ask us about special tools that can help when brushing and flossing another person’s teeth.

Be sure to pay attention to your loved one’s eating habits if they wear dentures, as they may be having discomfort and need their dentures adjusted or replaced.

No matter the age or mobility, a clean and healthy mouth is important for overall health.

Accidents happen. The most important thing to remember when someone has broken a tooth is not to panic.

First, take a look around for the tooth. If it’s an adult tooth, and it’s clean and whole, place it back in the empty socket. If you can’t place it back in the mouth, keep the missing tooth moist by packing it in milk or saliva. If it’s a baby tooth, bring it along to the dental office just in case we need to see it.

Next — call us! Let us know what happened and we’ll get you in as soon as we can. If for some reason you can’t get through to us, then head to the emergency room and call us for a follow-up appointment.
