What qualifies as a dental emergency?

How much does Invisalign cost compared to braces?

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on your treatment plan. At a free Invisalign consultation, we scan your teeth with our iTero 3D scanner, which is more comfortable than traditional impressions, and go over your options. Through November 30, 2026, Smiles By Design is offering a free Invisalign consultation and $500 off Invisalign, including free whitening.

What kind of doctor makes oral appliances for sleep apnea?

A sleep physician diagnoses sleep apnea. Once you have a diagnosis, a dentist can make and fit an oral appliance that you wear while you sleep. Smiles By Design makes and fits these appliances. Ask us whether one is a good option for you.
