Orthodontics

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic consultation by age 7. Early evaluation allows us to monitor their growth and identify any potential issues that may require treatment in the future. At Pristine Dental & Orthodontics, we believe early care leads to confident, healthy smiles later on.

At Pristine Dental & Orthodontics, we offer a variety of braces to suit your lifestyle and treatment needs. These include:

  • Traditional metal braces – Reliable and effective for all ages.

  • Ceramic (clear) braces – Less noticeable, great for teens and adults.

  • Lingual braces – Placed behind the teeth for a truly invisible option.

  • Clear aligners (like Invisalign®) – Removable and virtually invisible, ideal for comfort and flexibility.

Our orthodontist will help you choose the best option based on your goals and preferences.

The length of time you’ll need to wear braces depends on your individual treatment plan. On average, most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months, but this can vary based on the complexity of your case, your age, and how closely you follow your orthodontist’s instructions. At Pristine Dental & Orthodontics, we’ll provide a personalized timeline during your consultation and guide you every step of the way.

Yes, wearing a retainer after your braces are removed is essential to maintain your beautiful new smile. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions while your gums and bones adjust. At Pristine Dental & Orthodontics, we’ll provide you with a custom retainer and clear instructions on how often to wear it to ensure long-lasting results.

Cosmetic bonding is a quick and effective dental procedure used to improve the appearance of your smile. It involves applying a tooth-colored resin to fix chips, gaps, discoloration, or misshapen teeth. The material is carefully sculpted, hardened with a special light, and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. At Pristine Dental & Orthodontics, bonding can often be completed in just one visit with minimal or no anesthesia.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, chipped, misaligned, or unevenly shaped.

Teeth whitening works by using safe bleaching agents to remove stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth. At Pristine Dental & Orthodontics, we offer professional whitening treatments that penetrate the enamel to break down deep stains caused by food, drinks, tobacco, or aging. The result is a noticeably brighter, whiter smile—often in just one visit!

  • A valid photo ID

  • Your insurance card (if applicable)
