I want my front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?
We’ve had many patients who have achieved straight, attractive front teeth through the use of Invisalign invisible braces. With Invisalign, you’ll use a series of clear, removable custom-made aligners to move your teeth. Because you remove these aligners before you eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing. You get the benefits of braces—think of how great your smile will look when your teeth are straight--without the “metal mouth” problems of conventional braces.

 Every time I move my jaws, they click. I’m also getting headaches. Can you help?
You may have a problem called TMJ--Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction. TMJ is typically caused by a bad bite, teeth grinding, or problems in the jaw joint or neck.
Dr. Keith has specialized training in TMJ. We can effectively treat this disorder, offering patients the relief most other dentists cannot provide.

My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?
Yes! Bleeding gums are an indication of periodontal disease, a potentially serious infection that could cause you to lose bone in your jaw and ultimately your teeth if it’s not treated.
If your gums are bleeding, please call our office to schedule and appointment and have them checked out.

I do not like drills. Are there any other options?
If you have a small area of decay in your tooth, we may be able to use the Biolase. This laser tool allows us to precisely pinpoint and remove the decay in your tooth. Best of all, it’s pain free, so you don’t even need an anesthetic!
