Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear aligners to straighten teeth instead of traditional metal brackets and wires. This option is appealing to adult patients who may be experiencing a shifting of their teeth due to age, or relapse of previous orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign works efficiently because you wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day. However, they can be removed so that you can brush, floss, and eat as you did before treatment. Adults appreciate that there are no changes to their home care routine or diet required to complete Invisalign treatment.
Aligners can also be changed at home every two weeks, which eliminates the need for the frequent checkups required with bracket and wire braces. Dr. Smith will only need to examine your teeth periodically throughout your Invisalign treatment to ensure that they are moving as planned and on time.
If you are interested in learning more about straightening your teeth with Invisalign, contact Smith Dentalworks today and schedule a commitment-free consultation with Dr. Smith. As a certified Invisalign provider in Oro Valley, AZ, she can let you know if this is the right treatment for your smile. If it turns out that Invisalign is not for you, Dr. Smith can provide alternative recommendations that will help you achieve a beautiful smile.
At Smith Dentalworks, we offer a few options to help you attain a beautiful white smile.
Dr. Smith offers in-office treatment that brightens your smile six to ten shades in just one or two visits. We place a plastic barrier around your gums to protect your gums and soft tissues from the high strength whitening gel we apply to your teeth. We may use fluoride following your whitening treatment to make sure the whitening gel doesn’t cause tooth sensitivity.
In-office teeth whitening is ideal for the patient with a busy schedule or who has an upcoming event that needs immediate results.
Additionally, we can fabricate custom trays for you to use at home at your convenience. We make your trays using impressions taken of your teeth to ensure a snug fit that keeps the gel on your teeth and away from your gums. Take-home trays give you the freedom to whiten your teeth based on your schedule and to easily touch-up your smile in the future.
Short on time? For an easy and fast option for enhancing your smile, we also provide ready to use trays.
Contact your team at Smith Dentalworks to learn more about your options for teeth whitening in Oro Valley and determine which treatment is right for your needs.
Because there are so many different dental insurance plans out there, each with unique coverage, we understand that it can be frustrating and challenging to make heads or tails of it!
Here at Smith Dental Works, we are an insurance friendly practice. Dr. Smith has chosen to be a provider with a handful of insurance carriers, and she will also accept other insurance plans and take assignment of benefits to help patients with the submission process. Our knowledgeable and experienced staff members are here to help each patient in understanding their unique plan and how to utilize its benefits to the fullest.
For patients who would like to break their treatment cost into monthly payments, CareCredit offers affordable plans and some that are even interest-free for qualified patients. We can help you apply for CareCredit here in our office, or guide you through the online process at home. When you choose to work with CareCredit, you will always receive a timely decision, so you can get your dental treatment when you need it most.
Dr. Smith never wants finances to be an issue that keeps our patients from getting the dental care they need. Don’t hesitate to contact your Oro Valley dentist to discuss your options for payment.
We have heard from many of our patients that they worry about not having dental insurance or a dental membership plan. They feel that because they don’t have dental benefits, they won’t be able to afford high-quality dental care. Making dental care, especially preventative services, accessible and affordable to all patients is a core foundation of our beliefs here at Smith Dentalworks.
Because of this belief, Dr. Smith has developed an in-office membership plan that is affordable, prevention-focused, and available to all patients who don’t have dental insurance. The in-office membership plan offers preventative care covered in full for one low annual membership fee. You will also receive discounts and savings on many restorative procedures.
While this is not a dental insurance plan, it offers many advantages over traditional dental insurance.
Your Oro Valley dentist even offers a membership plan for children!
If you would like more detailed information about our in-office membership plan, or you’d like to sign up, please call Smith Dentalworks today at (520) 505-4422.
Absolutely! As your family dentist in Oro Valley, Dr. Smith and her team care for patients of all ages at Smith Dentalworks. Whether you have small children or aging adults to take care of, Dr. Smith can provide the care you need in our Oro Valley dental office in a manner that makes everyone feel comfortable.
Dr. Smith recommends that parents start bringing their children to the dentist consistently around the age of three to four years old. At this age, your child will be able to sit comfortably in the dental chair while Dr. Smith examines and counts their teeth. If they are comfortable, we will also perform a dental cleaning. However, we will never proceed with any treatment until they are relaxed and ready for it because it’s our goal to create positive experiences at the dentist for your son or daughter.
Dr. Smith also offers the full range of dental services needed to keep adults of any age smiling! With state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that your visits are comfortable and efficient. We also don’t ignore the small touches and amenities that help our adult patients feel at home. A complimentary beverage and a paraffin hand wax help you feel more like you’re visiting the spa than the dentist.

A bright white smile is a wonderful thing that helps shine each persons’ inner beauty. Depending on the cause, extent, or amount of change desired, whitening or ‘bleaching’ of teeth can provide that boost many are looking for. We have three different choices to fit patients needs, pocket book, and personality.
If more than whitening is needed, the next option is bonding. This is usually completed in one visit. Bonding can show signs from normal wear and tear so there is some maintenance that is needed every few years, but is a good economical, fast way to enhance your smile.
The premium way to change the color, and also some shape/small rotation desires, is with porcelain veneers. What is great about porcelain veneers is that the color lasts, there is no dulling or staining of the porcelain. They look and feel just like natural teeth.
Having straight teeth is not just something that can be done in the teenage years. Straight teeth is also not just about having a beautiful smile, though this is often the number one reason someone inquires about Invisalign. For best results you need to consult the top Invisalign dentist in your area! Having straight teeth allows better cleanability of the teeth and gums. This is not only good for the gums but also lowers risk of cavities because it is easier to keep teeth clean in many cases.

While our teeth do get an amazing about of use every day, just because the earth has gone around the sun a few times does not mean you need to just live with your chipping or thinning teeth.
One of the top reasons for chipped or thinning teeth is from clenching or grinding during the night or even the day. Prevention is the best early on but if your already seeing sign of tooth loss and want to restore what is lost then there are two choices. First would be bonding, done in one visit. Bonding does require some touch up maintenance over the years but is fast and easy on the pocket book.
Another option, especially if a substantial amount of tooth has been worn or chipped away is to look at porcelain veneers. While about two to three visits are needed the esthetic result will be will work the extra work and the look and feel of porcelain veneers is the closest thing we have to natural teeth.
If you’re concerned about aging, contact Smith Dental Works to schedule your annual dental exam and begin preventing major tooth damage.
