Invisalign and Conventional Braces: Two Options for a Straighter Smile

Are misaligned teeth keeping you from feeling confident about your smile? With the orthodontic options Dr. Gene Drake and Dr. Jayson Voto offer, young patients and even adults can look forward to achieving a straighter, healthier smile.

Our Owasso dental office offer’s conventional braces and Invisalign clear braces. Why two options? Because not every patient needs the same level of orthodontic care. Conventional braces will help a patient with significant misalignment, while Invisalign is better suited for small, cosmetic changes.

What’s more, Invisalign is an appealing choice for adults concerned about maintaining a professional appearance. Instead of using brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners. Patients will wear each aligner for about two weeks before moving on to the next, with each one moving teeth closer to their ideal position. Added to this, Invisalign patients can take their aligners out to eat, brush, and floss—something you just can’t do with conventional braces.

But is Invisalign right for you, or do you need conventional braces?

At Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our Owasso dental team would be happy to help you answer that question. Through a simple consultation appointment, Dr. Drake and Dr. Voto can learn about your needs, your medical history, and your goals going forward. Then, based on what they learn by looking at your smile and talking to you, they can make a personalized recommendation.

Do you need orthodontic help? Call Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry today to reserve an appointment. We serve patients from Owasso, Claremore, Sperry, Collinsville, Tulsa, Skiatook, and beyond.

Ease the Signs of Wrinkles with Botox, Juvéderm and Latisse

When you think of going to see a dentist, it’s because you need a checkup or you need some other kind of service. You don’t typically think of how your dentist might be able to help you beat signs of aging or improve your eyelashes. But at Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer several of today’s most popular aesthetic services, including:

  • Botox
  • Juvéderm
  • Latisse

With one or more of these services, we can help you transform how you look and improve your confidence. Here’s how each works.

Botox

Botox was made to ease the appearance of lines and wrinkles located around the eyes and brow. When injected, it prevents muscle contractions, resulting in a younger appearance for months at a time. How long does Botox last? A single treatment will provide excellent results for as long as four months. What’s more, Botox can also treat the symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.

Juvéderm

Juvéderm targets a different set of wrinkles, specifically the ones around the mouth and nose. What’s more, instead of preventing muscle contractions, Juvéderm actually fills wrinkles, volumizing your appearance in the process. Patients who choose Juvéderm can look forward to seeing amazing results for as long as a year.

Latisse

For some patients, it’s not wrinkles they want to treat, it’s their eyelashes. Latisse is the only FDA-approved prescription for lash-growth. How effective is it? More than 2.5 million bottles have been sold since it was introduced. The solution is applied to the top of lashes in the evening, and within weeks you can look forward to having fuller, darker lashes.

Do you want to learn more about any of these aesthetic services? Call Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry with your questions or to schedule an appointment.

Transform Your Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry

At Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we want to create healthy smiles, but we also want to create beautiful smiles. Cosmetic dentistry helps us do that. This special branch dentistry is all about changing how teeth look—whether you’re talking about their shade or about their alignment.

To help our patients from Owasso and beyond, we offer the following cosmetic dentistry services:

With these services—among the most popular and effective available—patients can see amazing results that will improve confidence and change how they’re perceived by others.

But which one is right for you?

Dr. Jayson Voto and Dr. Gene Drake would be happy to answer that question for you during a consultation visit. During a consultation, we can assess your current oral health need and talk to you about your goals for your smile. We can also explain how each service works before recommending anything.

How long it takes to complete your cosmetic dentistry plan will depend on how we’ll be helping you. In-office teeth whitening will give you dazzling results in a single appointment, while porcelain veneers can typically be applied in two. Treatment with Invisalign can take several months, but will be shorter than care with traditional braces.

Call Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry today if you’d like to learn more about how cosmetic dentistry could help you.  We’re happy to serve patients from Owasso, Claremore, Sperry, Collinsville, Tulsa, Skiatook, and beyond.
