When it comes to dental care, convenience, efficiency, and quality are top priorities for both patients and dental professionals.

Having a bright, white, and even smile is something most of us want. Dental bonding can be a great way to achieve the goal of having a beautiful smile.

Dental implants can be a significant investment, so most patients want them to last as long as possible and keep them in great shape.

If you're considering getting dental implants to help restore your smile, you probably want to understand how they work!

At WestLake Dental Care, we offer a number of different treatments that can restore your smile, and help you determine which solutions are right for you!

When it comes to orthodontic treatment, consistency is key. That's why Invisalign® providers instruct their patients to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours every day. In theory, this should allow plenty of time each day for patients to remove their aligners to eat and brush their teeth. However, no one is perfect, and it can be easy to forget to replace your aligners if you're in the middle of a hectic day... so, what happens then?
