Orthodontics

We are proud to provide our patients with high quality orthodontic care and cosmetic dentistry to give them the smile they've always wanted. Having a healthier smile sometimes means needing to have a straighter smile. Misaligned, crowded teeth can lead to oral health complications because of wear or the fact that teeth are too difficult to keep clean.

People with irregular bites often suffer from an increased risk of:

• Periodontal Disease

• Tooth Decay

• TMJ Disorders

• Abnormal, Advanced Tooth Wear

• Broken Restorations

Correcting the alignment of your teeth can help you have a healthier smile while also feeling great about the way it looks.

Braces for All Ages

Dr. Sarah Thompson offers flexible orthodontic options to help patients of all ages correct their smile. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, Soft Touch Dentistry has something for everyone.

You’re never too old for braces! Many of our patients come to us wanting straighter smiles because orthodontic treatment was never an option for them growing up. With clear and fast orthodontic options, we’re putting smiles on faces from all walks of life.

Invisalign and ClearCorrect Braces Provider

Soft Touch Dentistry is an Invisalign and ClearCorrect braces provider. What makes these particular options so unique? Both Invisalign and ClearCorrect use clear, “invisible” alignment trays to correct the position of your teeth.

Each set of aligners moves your teeth without the need of brackets and wires. This makes the braces more comfortable and your oral hygiene easier to manage as well. Simply remove the aligners for brushing or during meals!

Change your aligners out every 2-3 weeks to progress your tooth movement until the treatment is complete. Dr. Thompson will intermittently check the progress of your treatment every 6-8 weeks during a short visit in our office. We send several aligners home with you at a time, so you spend less time here in our office!

Orthodontic Treatments, Restoring a Bad Bite

Have you ever heard your dentist use the term “occlusion” or “malocclusion” during one of your appointments? If you are not familiar with this word, it essentially refers to your bite, or the way your top teeth fit on your bottom teeth when you close your mouth. Most commonly, malocclusion (or a “bad bite) is discussed alongside orthodontic treatment options. (more…)

Addressing Your Dental Anxiety

December 21, 2020

Dental Anxiety Options, Fear Of the Dentist

Dental anxiety or dental fear is what keeps 9% to 15% of Americans from receiving dental care each year. Whether it is the mere mention of the word “dentist” or the thought of an extensive dental procedure that sends your heart racing, there are ways your dentist can help. While most modern dental practices are equipped with highlighted comfort amenities, such as blankets, soothing music and TV entertainment, there is another remedy that is sure to help you relax. Sedation dentistry allows patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety to undergo dental procedures without suffering panic or stress. (more…)

Root Canal Therapy, Saving a Damaged Tooth

Hearing the term “root canal” may make you cringe. However, it is important to understand that a root canal is no more painful than getting a cavity filled. In fact, root canal therapy is likely your only chance at saving your tooth and alleviating your relentless toothache. Most patients are already experiencing significant discomfort at the time that they are told they need a root canal. (more…)

It’s Time To Discuss Your Bad Breath

October 23, 2020

Chronic Bad Breath Treatments, Remedies for Halitosis

Has wearing a mask throughout the day made you more aware of your bad breath? Bad breath, or halitosis, is an embarrassing condition. If you don’t treat it at its source, your efforts of mints and chewing gum can be quite futile. Chronic halitosis goes beyond “garlic breath” after eating Italian or the common morning breath that we all experience when waking up. Patients who suffer from bad breath on a daily basis, regardless of what they’ve eaten or if they’ve brushed that morning, should consider working with a dentist to get to the root cause. In some cases, bad breath can be a warning sign of something more serious going on in your mouth or your body. (more…)

I visited their new location and the first thing I noticed was the smell of pumpkin spice candles when I walked in the door. The waiting room is homey and their television is set to HGTV. Makes the wait very pleasant!
