My Fiancé and I have only just started going but it has been a very pleasant experience. We both have gotten a cleaning and my fiancé has gotten cavities filled and a wisdom tooth pulled. They are very informative and make sure you understand what’s going on with your teeth as well as very patient with you during your visit if you need breaks or anything. They are also very easy to work with when figuring what you can do according to your financial needs.

Quick and easy intake for new patients. Very transparent billing and they sit down to explain the itemized costs before going through with procedures. The dentist was friendly and knowledgeable and was careful during the flossing stage not to be too rough on gums. Location was very clean and organized. Went to appointment alone, but it looks like there was a neat little waiting area just for kids with some game controllers and toys.

I had a fantastic experience for my teeth cleaning. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. My hygienist was thorough but gentle, and took the time to explain everything she was doing. The office was clean, modern, and comfortable—which really helped me relax. My teeth feel great, and I left feeling confident and well taken care of. Highly recommend Sunrise Smiles

"I have had a HUGE fear of the dentist since I was a child. Dr Monica has been so kind and caring. I actually went to see her today and had a root canal done without being pre medicated. The first time I have been to a dentist and was not in tears. Thank you Dr. Monica you are the very best."
Alaina H.
I highly enjoyed my experience with Dr. Monika and the rest of the staff. From the moment I arrived I was nicely greeted. Each time they bring me right back. They remembered things from my prior visit. I knew I was in good hands. I would highly recommend anyone else to go see them.
Caitlin C.
Kimbel and Dr Monika were amazing. I appreciated the warmth, smiles and transparency. No surprises except the friendliness. The waiting room was great for my kids also, staff is so friendly. We will be back, I will recommend to friends and family. We also traveled 2 hours... worth it.

Our new favorite dentist! I've been in for fillings and regular cleanings, and my husband has been in for cleanings and tooth pain. We both have had amazing experiences. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Costs are talked over with you ahead of time, so no surprises! I've never had such an easy time getting dental work done. We look forward to going back!

I had a dental emergency over the weekend and they were able to see me right away. I didn’t even have to sit in the waiting room long. All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Monika and Salma were great. Very nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them.
Kimiko B.
Really great staff! I’ve gone to Dr. Reid forever and he’s been great. Today I got to meet Dr. Monica and her staff- really awesome as well! They were very thorough and were able to accommodate cavity fillings last minute and near the holidays. Thanks Sunrise smiles!

Everyone was very kind! Everything went smoothly and I always feel very taken cared of! Dr. Reid has always been super friendly and I can honestly say I enjoy going to the dentist! Never have had a bad experience!
Rachel
Love the staff at Sunrise Smiles. I had a great intersection with each staff member. They were warm, friendly and easy to talk to. I don’t know how many hygienists they have, but Shannon is incredible! She is great to talk to but so good at her job! Dr. Reid is always happy to see his patients. It feels like I’m running into an old friend. He is also incredible at his job and very helpful and encouraging! I actually look forward to going!

Metal Braces

Metal braces, also known as traditional braces, are orthodontic devices made of stainless steel brackets and wires that are used to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. They work by applying gentle and controlled pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into their desired positions. The archwire, which connects the brackets, provides the necessary force for teeth movement.

The duration of orthodontic treatment with metal braces varies depending on the individual’s specific dental condition. On average, treatment can last from 18 months to 3 years. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your teeth.

Discomfort or soreness is common after the initial placement of metal braces and subsequent adjustments. However, over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate any discomfort. The discomfort typically subsides within a few days.

Special Care

Yes, special care is required to maintain good oral hygiene with metal braces. Regular brushing, flossing, and using interdental brushes or floss threaders are essential. Your orthodontist may also recommend specific oral hygiene products.

While you can eat a variety of foods with metal braces, there are some restrictions. Hard, sticky, or chewy foods should be avoided to prevent damage to the braces. Your orthodontist will provide a list of recommended and restricted foods.Engaging in sports or playing musical instruments is possible with metal braces. However, it is advisable to wear a protective mouthguard during physical activities and discuss any concerns with your orthodontist for appropriate recommendations.

Other Orthodontic Options

While metal braces are a popular and effective choice for orthodontic treatment, there are other options available. Ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign are alternative options that offer a more discreet appearance. The best option for you will depend on your specific needs and the recommendation of your orthodontist.
