WHAT IS SURESMILE?
WHAT IS SURESMILE?
SureSmile is a minimally invasive and straightforward way to address minor to moderate misalignment issues. The treatment uses a series of clear aligners to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional wires and brackets. One of the primary benefits of SureSmile is that they're removable, which allows you to enjoy your favorite foods without dietary restrictions.
During your initial visit, Dr. Herod will conduct an extensive oral exam to determine if you're an ideal candidate for treatment. He'll explain what you can expect during the process and what steps you can take to ensure the best results. In addition, you don't have to come in for as many adjustment visits which reduces the impact on your schedule.

Cleanings & Prevention
A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR ALIGNERS
It's crucial that you properly care for your aligners at home. Our dentist and his team will explain how to clean them using step-by-step instructions that are easy to remember. One of the primary benefits of our Castroville SureSmile aligners is that caring for them is simple and doesn't require extensive time out of your day. Some of the ways you can care for your aligners include:
Cleaning Your Aligners Daily: When you're asleep, your mouth dries out and creates an environment for bacteria to grow. That's why it's crucial that you thoroughly brush your aligners as you would your teeth. Additionally, we recommend brushing your clear aligners before going to bed.
Rinsing Your Aligners: In addition to regular brushing, it's vital that you rinse your aligners after use to eliminate bacteria. However, we recommend that you use cold or room temperature water to prevent warping your aligners. If your aligners warp in any way, they may not fit your teeth and work as intended.
Not Using Your Aligners When Eating: If you keep your aligners on while chewing or biting, you can cause irreversible damage like cracks. Although you shouldn't eat any foods with your aligners on, hard foods like ice chips, hard candy, and popcorn can severely damage them. It's best to remove your aligners before consuming any foods.

CBCT Scanner: A CBCT scanner provides our dentists with detailed images of your teeth, gums, nerve pathways, and blood vessels using 3D technology. As such, we're able to place your dental implant while minimizing the impact on its surrounding structures.
Intraoral Scanner: As a way for our dentist and you to view a moving, colored image of your smile, we use an intraoral scanner. By projecting a light source onto an area, we can take vivid images and pull them up on a monitor for you to view.
Computer-Guided Surgery: This form of technology allows more precise oral surgery. The primary benefit of computer-guided surgery is planning and performing the procedure with increased certainty and accuracy.

FINDING YOUR IDEAL RESTORATION
Once your dental implant has successfully fused to your jawbone, we'll place one of our restorative options to complete your smile. We'll discuss which of our restorations is right for you during the initial planning phase. Our dentist will thoroughly explain each option and its benefits.
CEREC® Crown: If you're missing a single tooth, a CEREC crown may be the perfect option for you. Using CEREC technology, we're able to provide you with a new crown in a single visit. This makes it easy to get the dental care you deserve if you have a hectic schedule. Each crown is made of a sturdy and lifelike ceramic and is color-matched to look natural within your smile. Our dentist can make any necessary adjustments for a snug fit and natural feel during your fitting.
Bridges: Bridges are an effective way to replace multiple teeth in a row. We match our implant-supported bridges to the color of your neighboring teeth for a seamless appearance. We'll take detailed impressions of your teeth and send them to a trusted lab for crafting. Typically, a bridge requires two implant posts to support it at each end.
Dentures: Implant-supported dentures pair the benefits of implants with the comfort of dentures. This restorative option replaces up to an entire arch of missing teeth.
OUR EXCELLENT PRETREATMENT OPTIONS
Our dentist may deem it necessary for you to undergo pretreatment before receiving your dental implants. We're proud to offer various pretreatment options in our office so that you don't have to be referred out. We can discuss including one or multiple pretreatment options in your dental implant treatment plan during our initial visit.
Bone Grafts: A weak or brittle jawbone can create an unstable foundation for your dental implant. That's why we offer skilled bone grafts to improve your jawbone density. As a result, your dental implant can fit securely in your mouth. Our dentist can strengthen areas that lack volume by transplanting a small amount of bone to your upper or lower jaws.
Extractions: If your tooth is severely decayed or damaged, extraction may be necessary for dental implant placement. Our team provides gentle extractions, including wisdom teeth removal. Once your tooth has been removed, you can move forward with the dental implant process.

SURESMILE FAQS
Our team is more than happy to answer any questions you may have about our Castroville SureSmile clear aligners. Some frequently asked questions include:
How long does treatment take?
The term of treatment depends entirely on the extent of your misalignment issues. However, typically treatment can be completed in 12 to 18 months.
Will my clear aligners stain?
It's essential that you remove your aligners when eating or drinking. Darkly pigmented foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and tomato sauce can stain them.
Do I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
Dr. Herod recommends wearing a retainer upon completion of treatment. A retainer prevents your teeth from shifting and ensures that your teeth remain in their ideal positions.
Can I get SureSmile if I've previously had braces?
Yes. Many of our SureSmile patients have had traditional braces earlier in life, but their teeth have shifted over time. SureSmile is an excellent way to get your smile back to alignment.
Can I use SureSmile if I have veneers or crowns?
We'll carefully examine your smile during your initial visit and determine whether your restorations will impact treatment.
Is it normal to feel discomfort during the treatment?
Although feeling slight discomfort or soreness when you receive your new set of aligners is normal, it's not normal to experience prolonged pain. If you feel discomfort during treatment, you need to tell our dentist immediately.
