Invisalign in Covington, WA

At Family Dental Care, we offer Invisalign aligners so that you can straighten your teeth without committing to a mouth full of metal. Using a series of thin, clear, plastic aligners, Dr. K. Singh can help you finally achieve a smile you will be proud to show off in Covington, WA.    

While regular braces are still best for the most serious cases of teeth straightening, Invisalign is great for cases of mild to moderate spacing or crowding. For these cases, Invisalign provides teeth correction that bypasses the discomfort, soreness and restrictive diet that those who have traditional braces must face.

With a computer program that generates a series of aligners with small changes in each, Invisalign will allow you to straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing. Virtually invisible, the aligners are made of thin, comfortable plastic and are completely removable. Therefore, your teeth will not experience the same discoloration and plaque buildup that can normally occur with brackets and wire. In addition, you will be able to eat all the foods you like, such as popcorn, chips, pretzels, nuts, apples, carrots and corn.

If you think Invisalign might be the best option for achieving the smile you’ve been dreaming of, schedule an appointment at our office by calling (253) 239-3699. For more information about the orthodontic treatment or the dentist’s other services, please visit www.singhcovingtondentalcare.com.

Dentures

Many of our patients visit our Covington, WA dental clinic looking for a solution to their missing teeth. If they are missing a good number of teeth or need to get them removed due to infection or a medical condition, we can offer them different types of dentures. There are two primary types of full dentures: immediate and conventional, as well as partial dentures if our patient does not have to get all of their teeth removed.

With conventional dentures, our patient gets their remaining teeth removed and they wait a few weeks or months for their gums to heal completely. Once they are healed, Dr. K. Singh fits their new set of dentures. Immediate dentures, on the other hand, are fit as soon as their teeth are removed. Impressions are made of our patient’s teeth before they are pulled, and Dr. Singh has the dentures fabricated. Once the teeth are pulled, these dentures are placed over the gums.

Caring for your new dentures requires regular cleaning in order to remove the plaque, stains, and food particles. It’s important to brush the surfaces of the dentures similar to brushing your natural teeth. Also consider that your oral health still needs good care as well, including gentle brushing your gums, palate, and tongue each day.

Children's Dentist

One of the most important aspects of oral hygiene is taking preventative measures. The best way to ensure dental health throughout one’s lifetime is to start at a young age. At Singh Family dental Care, we offer pediatric dental services to all current and future patients.

Our main goal is to teach the children how to brush and floss properly during their routine visits. Children must maintain a regular brushing and flossing regimen even if their permanent teeth have not come in yet. Dr. K. Singh recommends that children brush at least twice a day and encourages a regular flossing routine that will help maintain a healthy mouth. Parents and children are equally responsible for the health of the child’s teeth. By providing children with a daily brushing and flossing routine and regular dentist visits, parents are assuring that their children will have a healthy smile that will last a lifetime.

One preventative measure that Dr. Singh offers is the application of sealants to the child’s teeth. Sealants act as a barrier to “seal off” the space between tooth surfaces and any food particles or bacteria that can cause cavities in unsealed teeth. Paired with twice-daily brushing, a healthy diet and visiting the dentist twice a year to monitor the sealants' placement or bond, sealants are 100% effective in preventing cavities.
