Our Orthodontic Services

Today's metal braces are lighter and thinner than the ones you might remember from childhood; as a result they are more comfortable to wear. Metal braces are an excellent choice for children of all ages and even adults, providing reliable, proven results.

Damon braces use self-ligating brackets that gradually adjust themselves as treatment progresses. No steel or plastic ties are used in this system, resulting in less friction, greater comfort, shorter treatment times, and fewer appointments compared to traditional braces.

Damon Clear braces combine the self-ligating Damon technology with a virtually invisible, translucent bracket. They are the most aesthetic braces available — delivering the speed and efficiency of Damon with a discreet appearance.

Similar to metal braces in construction, clear ceramic braces utilize a translucent material that results in a much less noticeable form of treatment. They are highly effective for complex cases while blending with your natural tooth color.

As Top 1% Invisalign VIP Diamond Plus Providers and Invisalign Masters Program Graduates, Dr. Barkate and Dr. Nehi have treated thousands of patients with Invisalign. The innovative system uses a graduated series of clear acrylic trays that fit closely over the teeth — virtually invisible and removable.

Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for teenagers, featuring compliance indicators that show how consistently the aligners are being worn. It includes replacement aligners for lost or broken trays and accommodates growing teeth.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early treatment allows us to monitor jaw growth, correct harmful habits, and create space for incoming permanent teeth. Dr. Barkate and Dr. Nehi have advanced training in early childhood orthodontics.

We offer all treatment options specifically tailored for teens, including Invisalign Teen with built-in compliance indicators, Damon braces, and clear braces. We understand teens' unique needs and create a comfortable, fun experience — including our Barkate Nehi Bucks rewards program and video game area.

More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment. With discreet options like Invisalign and clear braces, you can achieve the smile you've always wanted without disrupting your professional life. Many adult patients choose aesthetic orthodontic options to maintain their health and feel better about their appearance.

Zoom professional teeth whitening is one of the most effective ways to brighten your smile. Performed in-office, it can lighten teeth by several shades in just one appointment — perfect as a finishing touch after orthodontic treatment.

Gum contouring (also called gum reshaping) is a cosmetic dental procedure that can correct a 'gummy smile' or uneven gum line. This simple in-office procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile by creating a more balanced, proportional look.

As members of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Barkate and Dr. Nehi offer custom oral appliances for patients with snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea — a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines.

Our iTero® digital impression system eliminates uncomfortable traditional impressions in favor of fast, accurate 3D imagery. The scanner creates a precise digital model of your teeth in minutes, which is used for Invisalign treatment planning, retainer fabrication, and more.

We use modern digital X-rays that significantly reduce radiation exposure compared to traditional film X-rays while providing higher quality, instantly viewable images. This means safer diagnostics and faster treatment planning for every patient.
