Brace Yourself: Straighten Teeth Inconspicuously with Invisalign®

You reach a stage in life when metal, obvious braces will negatively affect your social and professional image. With Invisalign clear braces, Dr. Mick and our Reynoldsburg dental team can give you a beautiful, straight smile without compromising your appearance.

You’ll wear a series of thin orthodontic aligners, custom-made to fit closely against your teeth, and treatment lasts about a year in most cases. Unlike traditional braces, your Invisalign appliance can be removed when you brush and floss your teeth, eat a meal, or have an important engagement. Dr. Mick recommends Invisalign to correct a number of dental issues: overcrowding, overbite, crossbite, underbite, and widely-spaced teeth.

A visit to Mick Family Dental Care in the Columbus suburb of Reynoldsburg will start you on the path to a new, more confident self-image. Call Dr. Mick to learn how Invisalign can give you a gorgeous smile!

Sedation Dentistry Will Change How You Feel about Visiting the Dentist

Because we care about our patients, Mick Family Dental Care offers sedation dentistry, so anyone, even those with intense dental phobia, can peacefully relax throughout treatment. Oral medication taken at home before an appointment will allow you to remain conscious, yet afterwards, you'll have little or no memory of your time in the dental chair.

Some people refer to sedation dentistry as "sleep dentistry," but this is not accurate. With oral sedation, you will remain responsive, verbally and physically, throughout your entire appointment. Even so, you will need a designated driver to bring you to Dr. Mick’s office and take you home.

According to the Journal of the American Dental Association, 85 million Americans postpone dental work out of fear. When you avoid important dental treatment, you may exacerbate your primary problem and experience unnecessary complications. You may also incur added expense. Dr. Mick wants you to enjoy optimal oral health and will put his DOCS training (Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation) to work for you with comfortable, effective sedation dentistry.

Our Reynoldsburg and Columbus patients confidently receive the dental care they need with sedation dentistry. This procedure also works well for patients who have difficulty staying physically comfortable during long procedures or those who don't respond well to traditional anesthesia. Ask Dr. Mick if you are a good candidate for sedation dentistry.

Enjoy a Beautiful, New Smile With No-Prep Lumineers

When Dr. Mick transforms your smile with Lumineers, anesthesia injections and enamel reduction won't be necessary. These contact lens-thin veneers fit right on top of existing teeth to mask chips, gaps, and other smile imperfections.

Traditional veneers require removal of some tooth enamel so that they look uniform with surrounding teeth. Lumineers, on the other hand, do not require altering natural structure, so the procedure is completely reversible. Crafted with a stain-resistant, patented porcelain called Cerinate ®, Lumineers bond to front teeth to form a natural-looking, beautiful smile. Mick Family Dental Care patients can expect to enjoy the benefits of a rejuvenated appearance for decades to come.

As an experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Mick can create your new smile in about two office visits. Call today to schedule your appointment in our Reynoldsburg dental office and find out how “no fear” Lumineers can transform your smile and your self-confidence.
