Dr. Kevin Hicks DDS and the team at Hicks Family Dentistry are pleased to provide professional and caring dental services to their patients from Lititz PA and the surrounding communities. Our dental services include: adult, children's, cosmetic, family, general, implant, orthodontic, preventive and restorative dentistry.
With cosmetic imaging, we can display your improved smile in advance of any treatment. Digital images of your teeth and gums can show replacements of missing teeth, the effects of whitening, or the outcome of straightening prior to work. Imagine how exhilarating it will be to see your impending smile even before you begin the steps to reach your treatment goals.
Perhaps traditional dentures are the best option for you. Dr. Hicks can create and fit natural-appearing, custom dentures that won’t move! This innovation involves fitting the denture plate so precisely that you can have confidence while eating, because you know your dentures won’t shift or slip. If you wear dentures, be sure to ask us about this. It will make your life much less frustrating.
OVERDENTURES – NO MORE MESSY DENTURE ADHESIVES!
‘SMILE MAKEOVERS’ IN AS LITTLE AS TWO VISITS!
Dr. Hicks is delighted to also offer Invisalign™ invisible aligners to our patients. These state-of-the art aligners can fix overcrowding, gapped teeth, overbite, underbite, or even a crossbite, allowing you to achieve straight teeth in as little as 9 - 15 months! Once we take an impression of your teeth using our digital scanner, our 3-D computer-imaging technology is then used to create your complete treatment plan from the present position of your teeth to your final smile. From this plan, Invisalign clear thermoplastic aligners are generated. Much like teeth-whitening trays, these are custom made to fit your exact teeth. When you insert the first set of aligners, they use a small amount of force to move your teeth into position. About two weeks later, you exchange them with the next set of aligners, and advance through treatment for approximately a year. You only need to visit our office for assessment every four to eight weeks.
Oral health can have more influence on a person’s well-being than routine cleanings and the occasional filling can address. Many patients who’ve dealt with injury, ailment, bite complications, and general wear-and-tear can have protracted difficulties they don’t even recognize began in their mouth. Bruxism (tooth grinding), TMJ, periodontitis, crooked or misshapen teeth, and missing teeth can combine to generate headaches and migraines, toothaches, lingering bad breath, and an unsightly appearance. But you don’t have to accept that prognosis.
