Drs. Michalski, Yeager and Pinnavaia, reminding you about the importance of checkups

Are you brushing your teeth twice a day? If yes, that’s great! But, don’t forget that it’s also important to visit the team at My Dentists every six months, in addition to brushing your teeth a couple times a day. Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. Drs. Michalski, Yeager and Pinnavaia can:

• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and early signs of decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth

During an oral exam our doctors will check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not seen us in the last six months, it’s time for you to schedule an appointment! Happy New Year!

The Changing World of Dentistry, from the Team at My Dentists


The world around us is always changing and evolving—whether it’s the latest gadget you ordered online or the high-tech braces on your teeth! Recently, Drs. Michalski, Yeager and Pinnavaia read an article in the New York Times about dental implants, and how they are becoming increasingly favored over bridges to replace lost teeth. One thing to remember about dental implants is that they need to be cared for just like your regular teeth; daily brushing and flossing are a must!

Call us today to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation with My Dentists to discuss your implant options.

Happy Thursday!

Who benefits from Invisalign®? Dr. Michalski has the answer

What's great about Invisalign is that it's designed for just about anyone, and that’s part of what makes it work. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing we do is to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, we 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. And since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Our doctors are certified Invisalign providers. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, give us a call!
