As a hygienist I am so excited to see the results from my patients
who are currently straightening their teeth with Invisalign. After years
of cleaning their teeth, I now see a remarkable change within just a few
months of wearing their Invisalign aligners. With less tartar and plaque
build-up their gums are much healthier. My patients have acknowledged
to me that flossing is much easier now and that their teeth feel cleaner!

Is what you eat affecting your teeth?

Many common drinks and snacks such as fruit, yogurt and soft drinks may be contributing to permanent damage to our teeth. The break down of our teeth by acid that leads to decay is more commonly known as tooth erosion.

How your teeth are affected

Soft drinks and other foods which contain acids work over time to breakdown a tooth’s surface. By sipping or holding drinks in your mouth before swallowing, the enamel can dissolve,

thinning your teeth. Eventually the tooth’s enamel will lose its shape and change color due to the repeated exposure to acid. Also, frequent consumption of foods with a low pH value including fresh fruit, yogurt, honey and raisins can contribute to erosion.

What you can do to help prevent tooth erosion?

It is important to remember it’s not what you eat and drink that matters but how you consume the harmful foods. To help prevent tooth erosion, people who consume acidic foods should wait at a minimum of 20 minutes before brushing their teeth in order to not destroy the weakened enamel. Acidic foods should be consumed within a five minute period instead of snacking on them throughout the day. It is also important to be aware of habits such as sucking on lemons or swishing soda in your mouth which prolong the exposure of your teeth to the harmful acid.

Drs. Leff, Weiss, Waldee and Associates may also perform dentin bonding to help prevent tooth erosion. This procedure is when the teeth are painted with a very thin layer of dentin to help prevent further tooth erosion.

nearly invisible aligners.

The benefits of Invisalign include:

You can brush & floss normally
You can eat & drink what you want during treatment
You are more comfortable because there are no wires or
metal brackets causing mouth irritation

At the office of Drs. Leff, Weiss, Waldee and Associates we offer
several different cosmetic procedures. The following is a sampling
of what we can provide our patients:

Restorations - otherwise known as fillings and used to prevent tooth
decay from spreading. Amalgam fillings are a mixture of metals
that provide a hard and stable restoration. Composite fillings
are a silicate resin that fills in areas that are chipped, cracked or
discolored.

Veneers - a thin shell that covers the front of the tooth. Veneers can
help fill in spaces, straighten slightly crooked teeth and change
the tooth shade.

Implants - the permanent replacement of a missing tooth .

Whitening - lightens the darkening of teeth caused by aging, food
and drink. A custom made mouthguard and bleaching gel are
provided for at home use.

Our office performs all of the above cosmetic options in addition
to sedation dentistry. At Leff, Weiss, Waldee and Associates we
can address all your dental needs.

Do you have an upper or lower denture? Are you happy with the fit
and feel of that denture? Often people with upper and especially lower
dentures deal with the very common problem of lack of retention on a daily
basis. A loose fitting denture is more than an inconvenience or an
occasional embarrassment in social situations. Loose fitting dentures can
lead to poor nutrition by causing you to avoid certain hard to chew foods
like green vegetables. Fortunately Dr Weiss Waldee and Associates has the
solution. Implant therapy is an excellent way to give your dentures new
life. With dental implants the denture retention and stability is greatly
enhanced. This not only can increase your comfort and nutrition it can
change the way you feel about yourself. If you’ve been suffering with loose
fitting dentures its time to make a change for the better with dental
implants.

Nothing is more upsetting than losing a tooth. We at Dr Leff, Weiss, and
Waldee understand how tooth loss can affect your smile as well as your self
confidence. That is why we offer the latest technology in dental implants.
Dental implants are a tooth root replacement used to replace one or more
missing teeth or to help in the retention and function of existing dentures.
If you have lost a tooth or have a denture that is loose make an
appointment for an implant consult today!
