ClearCorrect is the simple, effective way to straighten your teeth, so you can get a smile you’ll love.

It’s a series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth as you wear them, each aligner moving your teeth just a little bit at a time. No wires. No brackets. Just clear, convenient comfort—every reason to smile.

They’re practically invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re in treatment, they fit you perfectly, so they’re more comfortable than regular braces, and they’re removable, so you can eat whatever you like and clean your teeth normally.

Ask Dr. Sanford for more information about ClearCorrect and what it can do for you.

How does it work?

You and Dr. Sanford will evaluate your teeth and talk about any problems or goals you have for your smile. Once you and Dr. Sanford establish ClearCorrect is the right treatment option for you, she will take impressions, photos, and x-rays of your teeth that ClearCorrect uses in manufacturing your custom aligners. Then, she writes a prescription for your custom aligners and sends it to ClearCorrect.

What can it do?

ClearCorrect can treat a wide variety of issues that keep people from achieving their ideal smiles. Straighter teeth don’t just look better; they work better too. Poorly-aligned teeth can interfere with bite function, wear out quicker, and are more prone to cavities. Ask your doctor how ClearCorrect can help you.

Bridges can solve the issue of missing teeth. Similar to dentures, bridges replace gaps in your smile with artificial teeth. Bridges can be made from a variety of materials including porcelain, gold, and alloys. Bridges can be removable or fixed. Removable bridges can be taken out and cleaned by patients, whereas fixed bridges have to be removed by a dentist. Bridges can be implanted to the jaw or under the gums. With so many options, it is important to consult with your dentist about which type of bridge is best for you. You should always keep your current teeth healthy and strong, but a bridge can help if you do lose teeth. Contact us today to discuss which bridge might be right for you.

A tooth can lose its normal shape and size for a variety of reasons. A crown covers your tooth to help restore its original shape and size. Crowns can also be used to make teeth stronger and look better. Crowns have a variety of uses. In some cases that require a large filling, there isn’t enough tooth remaining to keep the filling in place. A crown can strengthen the tooth and hold the filling. Crowns can also protect teeth that are weak, or help fix ones that are broken. Discolored or misshaped teeth can be covered by a crown, as can dental implants. Your dentist may recommend a crown for any of the reasons, among many others. Crowns play an important role in dental health, and if you are in need of one, please contact our office today.

Here at White House Dental, we are proud to offer implant reconstruction to our patients. Many people have smiles of which they are not proud for many reasons. Some have broken, crooked, or missing teeth. Some have damage to their mouth, whether they suffered an accident or have a genetic condition. For this reason, we are proud to offer implant reconstruction. We want all of our patients to have a smile they like showing off. It is always important for us to do a thorough examination with x-rays to determine the best way to help you. We will go through your options and discuss the whole dental implant reconstruction process. We will perform a thorough cleaning before we decide to put implants in your mouth. Implants hold in any teeth we need to add to your mouth. There are also times when we have to do bone grafting along with other procedures to ensure you have a smile you like. If you are embarrassed by your smile, contact us today at (615) 581-5000.

An extraction is performed to remove a tooth, whether because of disease, crowding, or damage. When extractions are required, the area around the tooth will be numbed and your dentist will remove the tooth. A small amount of bleeding is normal, as your mouth will replace the removed tooth root by forming a blood clot in the area. Caring for your mouth after an extraction is very important. Your dentist will outline how you should care for the area of the extraction. It is important to allow your mouth time to heal, so avoid activities like smoking, drinking through a straw, or eating foods that may aggravate the area. If you experience any complications, like excessive swelling, be sure to call your dentist right away. Your dentist may also recommend pain medication when appropriate. While you can care for your other teeth as normal, be careful not to clean the teeth next to the extraction. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, visit our office today so we can determine if you need an extraction. Delaying a consultation can worsen the situation and require longer recovery times.

Here at White House Dental, we are proud to practice occlusion-based dentistry. It is our goal to ensure each of our patients has a correct bite. Incorrect bites can cause a lot of problems for your teeth. If your bite is incorrect, you are more likely to have problems with or do damage to your teeth. You may break your teeth when you are trying to eat. You may have more cavities because getting all of the food and bacteria off your teeth is hard even with regular brushing and flossing. Incorrect bites can even damage your jaw. You may wake up every morning with a sore mouth. You may also have trouble eating or sometimes speaking. It is our goal to correct any incorrect bites quickly and efficiently. There are so many options for how you can get your teeth corrected, and we are dedicated to going over your options so that you can find the right treatment and get the smile you deserve. If you have any questions about our occlusion-based dentistry or want to go over your options, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (615) 581-5000.
