Dental Implants
At Great Smiles, Dr. Curt Lang offers dental implants as a permanent solution for tooth loss. Dental implants look like natural teeth and restore your smile while improving overall oral health. Dental implants are made of titanium and are set into your jaw. Once a bond is formed between your bone and the implant a crown (tooth-shaped cap) is secured on the implant. Dental implants are very stable and enable you to eat normally. With proper care dental implants can last a lifetime.
Whitening
ZOOM2 whitening is our newest and most exciting bleaching system. Patients love to have a whiter and brighter smile in one hour. Zoom can brighten teeth 8 shades in one visit!
Invisible Braces
Dr. Lang is certified to provide the new Invisalign clear orthodontics. With these clear trays you can quickly achieve that perfect smile you've always wanted without wires and brackets. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of.
- Remove your aligners to eat, brush and floss
- Change aligners every two weeks
- Your teeth move little by little
- Regular progress checks with your dentist or orthodontist
- Results often in 6 months to 1 year

Cosmetic Refinements
Take years off your looks with porcelain veneers. You can replace worn, yellowed, misaligned teeth with unstainable veneers that last. Dr. Lang finds great satisfaction providing that artistic great smile.
Headaches and TMJ
One of the most common causes of headaches is clenching or grinding your teeth while you sleep. With the only FDA approved method to reduce or eliminate these symptoms we're happy to provide the NTI Bite Splint. The NTI Bite Splint has been featured on Good Morning America and other news publications.
"..it could be what the doctor ordered for 40 million Americans who suffer from migraines,
tension headaches"
