Invisalign FAQ's
What do aligners look like? Aligners are clear and nearly invisible. If you've ever seen clear teeth-whitening trays that should give you a good idea of what the aligners look like. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit and move your teeth.
Will the treatment be painful? Each time you change to a new aligner, there may be some temporary discomfort while your teeth adjust to their new position. This is completely normal and is a good sign that the treatment is working.
Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech? Some people are affected more than others, but most adjust in a short period of time to the feeling of the aligners and do not have permanent changes in their speech.
How often will I have to wear my aligners? Invisalign only works while you're wearing the aligners. It's recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush, and floss your teeth.
What happens after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again? This varies person to person and depends on the outcome of the treatment. Some patients might need a positioner, or conventional retainer. Other patients might need a clear plastic retainer.
How much does Invisalign cost? There are many factors that determine the cost of your Invisalign treatment: how extensive the issues you want corrected, how long your treatment plan will last, and the specific treatment details prescribed by Dr. Ladani.
Teeth Whitening
If you are like most of our patients, you want a whiter, fresher looking smile but you don’t necessarily want the discomfort, sensitivity and cost that can come with traditional, in-office tooth whitening. That is why, in addition to in-office whitening, we give you all the same benefits with a custom fitted take-home kit. We will recommend the speed and dental whitening for your sensitivity level and needs

Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?
Veneers are routinely used to fix:
- Teeth that are discolored -- either because of root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
- Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)
Gingival Depigmentation
Gum depigmentation, also known as gum bleaching, is a laser procedure used in cosmetic dentistry to lighten or remove black spots or patches on the gums consisting of melanin. Melanin in skin is very common in inhabitants in many parts of the world due to genetic factors.
Ask Dr. Ladani about laser dentistry and how this amazing technology can make your cosmetic dental treatments comfortable.
Gummy Smile Treatment
You can have a gorgeous, healthy smile
A gummy smile, known as excessive gingival display, is when you smile and too much gum tissue shows above the top teeth. Many patients with a gummy smile often say it makes them feel self-conscious or less attrative.
We have good news. A gummy smile can be corrected. Dr. Ladani can determine what treatment option is best after an initial consultation.
