Want a confident smile without the “hardware” associated with traditional braces? Clear aligners are a significantly less noticeable option and can be a great alternative for most people. Made from transparent materials, clear aligners are custom-made for each patient using state-of-the-art scanning technology which creates a 3D model of your teeth. This scan is used to create the transparent aligner which gradually adjusts the alignment of your teeth. Teens, adults, and parents also love that the clear aligners can be removed. This makes eating your favorite foods more enjoyable and cleaning your teeth much easier. The dental professionals at Bohle Family Dentistry are experts at creating healthier and happier smiles by using clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct alignment.

Clear aligners are a removable, discreet orthodontic treatment. They consist of a series of trays that you wear for several weeks at a time. As your teeth gently move into position, you start using the next set of trays.
A safe, low-risk way to replace one or more missing teeth. Natural teeth or dental implants can be used as anchors to support the suspended replacement teeth.
Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.
Every six months, an oral exam should be performed to check for signs of gum disease and cavities.
Implants are made of titanium and have special coatings that encourage the fusing of human bone. The top of each dental implant has an internal screw channel so that crowns, bridges, and or dentures can be screwed in place.
Sealants are most likely to be used on the teeth of children and young adults, effectively sealing the tooth off from decay with a thin, clear layer.
The removal of a tooth from its by a professional is called an extraction. When a tooth has been broken, decayed, or damaged, a dentist can often use treatments such as fillings, crowns, or their alternatives.
Dental fillings are the most conservative way to restore smaller areas of tooth decay. In a dental expert's hands, these types of restorations can be made to conserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while providing a restoration that is almost indistinguishable from the natural tooth. Both resin and porcelain fillings can be adhesively bonded to your natural tooth to add strength.
A root canal is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical endodontic treatment. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and involves opening the crown of the tooth, exposing the roots and pulp of the tooth. When the pulp and root are exposed the infected areas of the tooth are removed.
Ideally, dental visits for a professional cleaning and exams would take place twice a year. These procedures are essential and follow general American Dental Association recommendations.

The highest quality veneers are made individually by hand and are hard to distinguish from natural teeth. veneers can be used to remarkably transform the smile of patients who have worn, chipped, or discolored teeth. Slightly crooked teeth can be straightened as well. Hand-made porcelain veneers are typically very translucent and when bonded to your teeth they are very lifelike.
