Absolutely! Adult orthodontics is more common than ever. Many of our patients in Corinth choose to straighten their teeth later in life to improve their confidence, oral health, and bite alignment.

Most orthodontic check-ins happen every 4 to 8 weeks. These visits allow us to monitor your progress, make any needed adjustments, and ensure everything is moving as planned. With clear aligners, you may also have the option for fewer in-office visits.

Yes, clear aligners are highly effective for treating mild to moderate alignment issues. For more complex cases or bite corrections, traditional braces may be recommended. We’ll help you choose the option that will deliver the best results for your smile.

Braces use metal brackets and wires to gently move your teeth into place. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable trays that offer a more discreet treatment option. Both are effective—your choice depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and treatment needs.

Delaying a root canal can lead to worsening infection, severe pain, swelling, and even tooth loss. Early treatment gives you the best chance of saving your natural tooth and avoiding more extensive care.

While rare, root canals can occasionally fail if a canal is missed or bacteria re-enter the tooth. That’s why we use 3D imaging and advanced cleaning tools—to ensure every canal is located, cleaned, and sealed.

Root canals are typically covered by PPO insurance plans. We’ll verify your benefits, explain your costs clearly, and offer flexible payment options—including financing through CareCredit—if needed.

We recommend routine cleanings every six months, but if you’re dealing with gum disease or a history of it, more frequent visits may be necessary.

Symptoms like swollen or bleeding gums, bad breath, and gum recession may indicate gum disease. If you notice these signs, it’s important to get treatment early to prevent long-term damage.
