• Invisalign

  Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Dr Trettenero plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth. During the consultation, Dr Trettenero will discuss your case in detail to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. Invisalign now addresses many cases, from simple to more complex. We will determine if Invisalign is right for you. (Take the Smile Assessment ahead of time to see if you might be a good candidate.) This will also be your opportunity to ask any questions about Invisalign. Dr Trettenero will take x-rays, pictures and impressions of your teeth, which we will use to create a digital 3-D image of them. From these images we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth, and tell you the approximate length of treatment. Using the this technology we will be able to predict the moving of your teeth. We will be able to show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move with each stage of treatment. While every case is unique to each patient, treatment typically takes approximately a year for adults.

• 3M Dental Impressions

  Now in Fort Myers Florida: 3M Dental Impressions Dr Trettenero was the first Fort Myers dental office to utilize a new device that allows him to take 3M dental impressions of the teeth instead of using traditional molds that required patients to sit for as long as four minutes with a putty-like material in their mouths. The 3M dental impressions taken are then used to create crowns, bridges, veneers and related restorative products. Once the scan is done and the digital impression is complete, Dr Trettenero will have that important record that he can refer to for years to come. The device, manufactured by 3M ESPE of St. Paul, Minn., is called the 3M True Definition Scanner. Trettenero says he expects it’ll revolutionize his field. The device features a wand-shaped scanner. On the dime-sized tip are 22 miniature lenses that capture a 3-D video with millions of bits of information about the patient’s teeth, bite and jaw. The images are flashed immediately to a chairside monitor so dentists can make sure they have captured perfect 3M dental impressions. The images then are shot to a lab where technicians use the computer images to build a prototype, layer by layer, of the patient’s teeth.

• LANAP Periodontal Laser

  Gum disease can sound like a very scary thing. No one wants loose teeth and have an imperfect smile. Fortunately, there are ways to combat gum disease, also known as periodontal gum disease or gingivitis, and you can once again have a healthy mouth and beautiful smile. If you’re worried about having to go through gum surgery, you don’t need to worry any longer. The development of laser gum treatment has lead to its widespread use in many dentists’ offices and it involves no pain, no sutures, with little recovery time. Don’t let periodontal disease compromise your mouth’s health. Reach out to Dr Trettenero to help put you back on the road to a healthy smile. The Widespread Effects Of Gum Disease And The LANAP Laser About 60 percent of all Americans, roughly 100 million people, are suffering from gum disease which can cause health issues such as heart disease if left untreated. Unfortunately, many people would rather lose a tooth than go through gum surgery. In fact, only about 4 percent of patients with periodontal gum disease end up following through with gum surgery. The idea of having your mouth, one of the most delicate and sensitive parts of the body, operated on is certainly very intimidating. Thanks to the introduction of the FDA approved LANAP laser, more patients are beginning to seek periodontal therapy. The great thing about the LANAP laser is that it causes virtually no pain and you can go right back to your daily routine without missing a beat. You can come in for the procedure and in most cases go to work the very same day. This is the solution to gum repair that dentists and patients alike have been seeking for years. See a video on the LANAP Periodontal gum treatment laser here. Signs And Symptoms Of Gum Disease Before you start looking for gum laser treatment, you’ll first need to determine if what you’re experiencing is periodontal disease. Unfortunately, gum disease can be difficult to spot early on. It’s not until the disease has progressed to the advanced stage that people begin to notice symptoms. Symptoms that include red, swollen, and tender gums, bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, gums that are receding and making your teeth appear longer, loose teeth, pus coming from the gums or sores in the mouth, bad breath, or a change in how the teeth fit together. If you have been experiencing any of these symptoms then you might have gum disease.
