Prosthodontics Specialist- Dr. Shervin MSD
We are happy to welcome Dr. Shervin as our prosthodontics specialist! He is a graduate of University of Washington’s Advanced Prosthodontics program, where he also earned his Master of Science in dentistry (MSD). Prosthodontists are trained to provide specialized care for patients with deficient or missing teeth. In their three additional years of training in graduate school, prosthodontists become highly trained in treating complex dental problems. They learn how to work with a variety of cutting-edge materials and digital technologies in order to provide the most advanced care for their patients. While many dentists provide these services, prosthodontists are the experts in delivering high-quality crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
SureSmile Clear Aligner Therapy
We now offer limited SureSmile Clear Aligner therapy for cases that do not require intervention from an orthodontist.
SureSmile is an orthodontic treatment that works to gradually straighten teeth through the wearing of a series of clear, custom-fit, removable aligners. There are no brackets or wires like traditional metal braces. There are 3 easy steps:
- Consult: Make an appointment for an initial SureSmile consultation with Lina Kim DDS. If you are a candidate for SureSmile Aligners, a 3D digital impression and pictures of your face and teeth are taken and the treatment process begins.
- Scan, Plan & Fabricate: Your dentist and a knowledgeable SureSmile specialist plan and design your case using advanced digital software, orchestrating each step of your smile transformation with precision. Using just the right number of custom finished clear aligners, your dental professional partners with the SureSmile Digital Lab to make your perfect smile one step closer.
- Treat: Congratulations! Your journey to a fabulous smile begins back in the dental office when you try on your first set of SureSmile aligners. By wearing your clear aligners and following your custom treatment plan, you will quickly notice your clear aligners are not only comfortable and easy-to-wear, but virtually invisible!
As with all orthodontic appliances, the cost of SureSmile varies according to the complexity of the case. Insurance policies generally cover clear aligners to the same extent that they cover traditional braces. Schedule a short consultation today!
Digital Occlusal Guards
Occlusal guards or night guards are recommended for patients who clench or grind at night as a way to protect their teeth and bite. Guards also protect the soft tissues of your tongue, gums, lips and cheek lining. We are now able to take a quick 5-10 minute digital scan of your teeth, which will then be sent to a lab to make a custom fit guard that is ready in 3-6 days!
