The health of your teeth and gums influences your overall health. Tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss, and poorly aligned bite all interplay with how the rest of your body functions. Dr. Ramon M. Ortiz and Dr. Natalie J. Ortiz recommend all children and adults come to Painted Skies Dental Center for preventive dental services, especially the six-month exam and cleaning. Your diligence at home, combined with great care from your dentist in Las Cruces, will yield a strong, attractive smile and better systemic well-being.
If you could straighten your crooked smile easily, would you? Yes, you think, I certainly would, but who wants to wear all that metal hardware? I am just too old for all that. Well, your dentist in Las Cruces at Painted Skies Dental Center has the perfect solution for the reluctant orthodontic patient. Called Invisalign, these clear acrylic aligners fix all kinds of orthodontic problems without the discomfort, long treatment times or obvious appearance of traditional metal brackets and wires. They work well for older teens and adults who have a wide array of smile issues. Chances are you qualify for Invisalign treatment.
