Tooth colored fillings, Invisalign® invisible braces, and more in Raleigh, North Carolina

Invisalign® Invisible Braces

Raleigh cosmetic dentist Bettie McKaig now offers Invisalign® invisible braces! Invisalign® is the exiting new way to straighten misaligned teeth without the need for embarrassing, metal braces.

At our state-of-the-art dental practice in Raleigh, Invisalign® invisible braces have helped hundreds of people, young and old, enjoy straight teeth using a simple, easy system. Instead of "braces," Invisalign® uses a series of invisible aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are clear, comfortable, and removable, so you can enjoy life without the hassles associated with ordinary braces.

Over a period of 9 to 15 months, you will wear approximately 18 to 30 different Invisalign® aligners, replacing old aligners every two weeks. When a new aligner is worn, your teeth will move towards the desired position.

If you desire straighter teeth without the discomfort associated with metal braces, contact Dr. Bettie McKaig for Invisalign® invisible braces in Raleigh, North Carolina! Contact Dr. Bettie McKaig in Raleigh to see if Invisalign® invisible braces are right for you.

Tooth Colored Fillings

The days of unattractive metal fillings are long gone. At our practice in Raleigh, North Carolina, we use tooth colored fillings for the restoration of teeth damaged by cavities.

Tooth colored fillings are made from composite resin, a durable material that is very similar in both color and texture to your natural teeth. The resin used for tooth colored fillings can flow into smaller areas, so less tooth is removed to create the filling. Using tooth colored fillings, the tooth remains stronger than with old metal fillings, and further decay is easier to detect and repair. The ultimate advantage to tooth colored fillings, however, is that nobody can tell you have fillings.
