Here at Silver Creek Dentistry, we like the idea of a New Year’s resolution. And even though we’re well into the month of January already, we think it’s never too late to resolve to take care of your smile. One of the chief ways of doing that is making sure to schedule regular dental checkups. In keeping with the recommendation of the American Dental Association, we like to see our patients at least two times a year for a dental cleaning and exam. Seeing you at these regular intervals allows Dr. Hamman, Dr. Johnson and their team of dental hygienists and dental assistants to not only help you have a clean and bright smile, but a healthy one, too.

Do you have crowded, gapped or otherwise occlusal diseased teeth? If so, they’re damaging more than your confidence — those problems could also be putting you at a greater risk for periodontal, or gum, disease. Maybe you skipped the braces stage in adolescence, or perhaps the misalignment happened gradually over the last decade or so. Whatever the cause, you’ve got to seek a healthy solution. More adults than ever are getting braces these days, but that doesn’t mean metal brackets and wires, — Invisalign provides our Ripon neighbors with straighter better aligned teeth, invisibly. Read on to learn more, and find out if Invisalign is right for you.
