Invisalign
Last time I mentioned some of the emerging technologies in dentistry. One treatment that is getting very popular and generating a lot of "buzz" is invisible braces called Invisalign. I am in the middle of this treatment myself! Great for adults who didn't wear retainers after having braces and the teeth have relapsed. Also it is an excellent alternative to cosmetic dentistry. Studies show that crowded teeth are many times more likely to have gingivitis and gum disease. Benefits include:
- Invisible
- Removable for eating, oral hygiene, and certain occasions like meetings, events, etc.
- Average case is about one year
- Conservative treatment
- 10 year proven track record
Check out our website, or the Invisalign site. Give us a call and we can schedule you for a no charge consultation to see if you are a good candidate!

Intro to Dr. Palano & Diablo Hills Dental Excellence
The 21st century will undeniably be called the age of information with the explosion of the Internet. Blogs have become a way to receive casual information which also display some characteristics or or personality of an individual or business. I intend to have this blog display both what this business is about and who I am as a dental caregiver. I'm hoping that this is the beginning of a weekly post. I graduated dental school in 1979! Wow, could I really have been practicing for 30 years? We all know that 30 years can provide so much repetition that the spark, growth, or newness is gone. Well the wonderful thing about dentistry is that each person and the challenge they bring are unique. There is no repetition. The other thing is that treatment we provide is continually evolving. Today's treatment is so different than 10 years ago. Also treatment is expanding into areas that were previously not serviceable or referred to specialists. Treatment of root canals, placing of dental implants, straightening of teeth with invisible braces called invisalign and the use of dental lasers are all examples remarkable expanding technologies which offer our patients a brooder range of dental solutions. Lasers will be the topic of my next blog.
