    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Port Dover Family Dentistry for my dental check-up, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Dr. Bukhari, the lead dentist at Port Dover Family Dentistry, embodies professionalism with a touch of warmth. His friendly and jovial demeanor instantly made me feel comfortable, and I appreciated how he took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of my dental health. Dr. Bukhari not only identified any issues but also discussed treatment options with me in a way that was easy to understand, empowering me to make informed decisions about my dental care. The dental hygienist, Erin, who cleaned my teeth was equally exceptional. Not only was she highly skilled and thorough in her work, but her friendly and gentle approach made the experience surprisingly pleasant. She took the time to ensure I was comfortable throughout the cleaning process, and her attention to detail left my teeth feeling incredibly clean and refreshed. Beyond the dental professionals, the front desk staff, Meggin and Christina, at Port Dover Family Dentistry deserves commendation as well. Their warm and friendly demeanor made scheduling appointments and handling paperwork a breeze. They were always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate my needs and preferences, making me feel like a valued member of their dental family. What truly sets Port Dover Family Dentistry apart is their genuine sense of community and family. From the moment you step through the door, you're not just another patient – you're treated like a member of their extended family. This warm and inviting atmosphere creates a sense of comfort and trust that is truly unmatched. In conclusion, I can't recommend Port Dover Family Dentistry highly enough. Dr. Bukhari and his staff provide top-notch dental care with a personal touch that sets them apart from the rest. If you're looking for a dental clinic where you'll be treated like family, look no further than Port Dover Family Dentistry. Your smile will thank you!

    I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Bukhari, Meghan, Shannon and the entire team at PD dentistry. Each and every one of the team goes above and beyond in every interaction. They are so friendly, make you feel calm, confident and taken care of. I recently had a huge procedure done (4 front crowns!) and they took the time to explain the procedure in great detail and even set me up to meet with Pow Laboratories to do custom shading (they did a great job). Dr Bukhari did AMAZING work and I have had nothing but compliments on my new smile 😄! … I wish I did this years ago! Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! I feel much more confident and I am so appreciative of this great experience!

      For a beautiful smile and a healthy lifestyle

      Having straight teeth looks great but it can also prevent costly dental and medical problems.

      It might be a little hard to believe but having straight teeth is very important to leading a healthy life. Maybe you feel like it doesn’t matter that your teeth are crooked. They don’t bother you, so there’s no point in fixing them. But teeth need to be in the correct position to function correctly and last a lifetime.

        Nearly 9 out of 10 people have at least mild crowding or misalignment of their teeth which can contribute to:
      • Chipped front teeth or tooth loss.
      • Food getting stuck between teeth.
      • Difficulty flossing and cleaning between teeth.
      • Increased risk of cavities between teeth.
      • Gum disease - which can increase your risk for several systemic health problems such as Heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis and Increased risk of stroke.

      If you have any of the above conditions, schedule an appointment at our office for an evaluation of your oral health.

      When is a good time to start?

      Maybe you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth for some time. Perhaps you just recently had the recommendation from your dentist that it’s necessary. Either way, waiting to get started only gives you more months or years of dissatisfaction and increased risk of breaking teeth or dealing with related health problems. More importantly, remember that teeth continue to shift.

      Your teeth will be more out of alignment in a few years than they are today.

      The more movement your teeth require to straighten, the longer you’ll be in treatment. It’s easier, faster and less expensive to straighten teeth before they become severely misaligned.

      Don’t worry, treatment is affordable. The entire cost is not due on the day you start treatment. Our office is happy to share with you the payment options most of our patients use.

      What can you expect once you start your treatment?

      Our mission is to help our patients achieve overall health and a beautiful smile by starting with a good foundation. That means straightening the teeth so they’re in proper alignment and are functioning correctly. You’re never too old to benefit from straightening your teeth.

      Your Treatment Plan

      The process begins with digital scans of your teeth to create your treatment plan. Using Invisalign’s software, we can accurately predict how your teeth will change over time with Invisalign. We can even show you how your teeth will look weeks, months and eventually at the end of your treatment. Once your digital plan is finalized, your custom aligners are made using Invisalign’s state-of-the-art printing process.

      The First Aligners

      Once the aligners arrive, special fasteners are often necessary. These are bonded temporarily to your teeth so that you can easily clip in your aligners, but don’t worry, they’re mostly invisible and come off at the end of treatment.

      Follow up Appointments

      We will provided you with each set of clear aligners to wear for about two weeks. Your teeth will shift into place a little at a time as the aligners are changed for the next in the series until your teeth have been moved to their final, correct position. Visits to the office will be scheduled roughly once every 1-2 months to ensure that the treatment is going as planned.

      Contact us today

      to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

      Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

      Cost of Invisalign in Port Dover

      With a typical insurance plan, Invisalign treatment usually averages between $3000 and $5000+ out-of-pocket. After an oral exam, we would be happy to provide you with an accurate quote so you can find out how much your insurance plan will cover and what your actual out-of-pocket expenses would be. Without insurance, Invisalign treatment typically costs about $4000 to $6000+.

        How do we actually determine the cost of your Invisalign treatment and why does it seem so expensive? When considering the cost of orthodontics, there are a few things to consider:
      • The current condition of your overall oral health.
      • How much your teeth need to shift.
      • The length of your treatment.

      Because every smile is so different, the only way to find out for sure if Invisalign is the best solution for you and how much it will cost you out of pocket is to come in for a consultation. Tell us your personal goals for your smile, let us examine your teeth and we will tailor a personalized treatment plan that will accomplish your wants and needs. Even if you’re not sure if you qualify for Invisalign because of your age, or particularly ambitious goals, it never hurts to ask. There are solutions available for you.

      We have solutions for every unique case that presents in our office. Most of the time, we can provide you with a treatment plan that can be completed in our practice from express cases to advanced functional and cosmetic cases. If it’s outside of our scope, we’ll refer you to the best specialist to meet your needs.

      Don’t let something like crooked teeth hinder your confidence or affect your health.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Invisalign is both more comfortable and more discrete than braces. The clear custom-fit trays are hardly noticeable and most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them. Plus, they can be removed for important presentations or dates! The clear trays are also smooth against the inside of your mouth and don’t pinch or scratch like the brackets from braces. If your trays rub on your gums, they can be easily adjusted. Invisalign trays exert a gentler pressure compared to braces and only shift a few teeth at a time. That makes Invisalign orthodontics far more comfortable than conventional methods.
      Invisalign makes changes to your teeth very gradually. Minor changes can be made in a few short weeks with little discomfort, and more complex changes can occur over a longer span of time to ensure you stay as comfortable as possible. There may be some discomfort, but if your Invisalign hurts, let us know.
      On average, it takes anywhere from 6 to 12 months for your teeth to move into the correct position with Invisalign. Most people start noticing some movement, however, within the first 6 weeks after getting their first set of aligner trays. The more changes you would like to see, the longer it will take no matter what orthodontic option you choose.
      Twice a day, remove your tray and clean it and your teeth before putting it back in. If you take your aligner out at any time, always rinse it before you put it back in, and try not to let it sit in open air when you aren’t wearing it. You may soak your aligners in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals and carefully rinse them before putting them back in your mouth. Do not eat or drink with your trays in, and do not use toothpaste to clean your trays. We will provide you with detailed home care instructions when you receive your first trays.
      Don't eat with your aligners in your mouth. If you expose your aligners to the strong chewing forces that your teeth are trained to exert, you can damage or even crack your aligners, plus it's just messy and not easy to eat with Invisalign in your mouth.
      Yes, even when you sleep. They should be worn all day and night, except when eating and drinking. Your clear aligners won't work if they're not constantly shifting your teeth over time, which means you've gotta wear them!
