Oral cancer screenings at Discovery Dental

In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality care available to our patients, Discovery Dental screens our patients for oral cancer. Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved.

Early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. Ask Dr. David Stinchfield about a screening at your next appointment!

Ask Dr. Stinchfield: Is Invisalign® right for me?

Invisalign is a highly customized treatment,which is why that it is so effective, says Dr. Stinchfield. To find out if Invisalign is right for you, our office uses basically a three step process. First, we take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. With special software, we are able to look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Next, we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. The best thing about it all? Nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Stinchfield is a certified Invisalign provider. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, please give us a call! We look forward to hearing from you!

From our high-tech website and innovative treatments, to our social media presence, our office embraces new technology. For social media to be effective, conversation is essential, and that's why we encourage you to join in and tell us what's on your mind.
