We specialize in restorative dentistry (i.e. removing dental decay and filling cavities), prosthodontics (crowns and dentures), a large variety of implants, cosmetic dentistry (i.e. teeth whitening). Additionally we also specialize in orthodontics using fixed or removable braces such as Invisalign.

Invisalign is a type of treatment that utilizes a series of clear aligners that are custom-fit. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition the teeth into a beautiful smile.

You can choose to remove your aligners to eat, brush and floss and replace them every two weeks (or visit us once a month).
Please note that teeth move little by little and results will be often noticed in a 12 months period. It requires 1 visit a month and it is recommended in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth, however it is not appropriate for children.

Hygiene is very important to us; we therefore have in place a precise operational protocol and system. As for the instruments they are heat-sterilized by using an autoclave that is the highest expression of applied technology which guarantees safe sterilization of all types of instruments.
