In 2018, many dental groups and dentists offices are expanding into Invisalign. While it can be difficult for the common dentist to acquire Invisalign patients, it makes sense for any office with a pediatric dentist to offer some type of Invisalign options. Whether these are very easy cases or simply teenagers that need a little bit of adjustment, there are opportunities when it comes to Invisalign.

Costa Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in North Virginia is one of the dental groups near DC expanding into Invisalign. When looking for Vienna, Virginia Invisalign more and more parents are going to notice the CostaSmiles.com website. Dr. Shane Costa recognizes that many of his teen and adult patients are looking for Invisalign and there is no reason to ask them to go to an orthodontist or another dental office. Most people that visit the dentist do not want to make three or four visits to get the service they desire. While a “one stop shop” is nearly impossible when it comes to dentistry, there are definitely ways in which a dentist can assist their patients in not having to drive all over town.

In the near future, we look for many more dentists and dental groups to offer Invisalign. Remember, Smile Direct Club is legal in a number of states and will make the barrier to entry that much harder. That said, there are always a large number of pediatric dentistry patients that will want their family dentist to start their Invisalign treatment. Understand that not all Invisalign treatments are the same. There are some more difficult cases in which a patient will want to go to a much more experienced Invisalign orthodontist.

Have you noticed that more and more dentists in your local area are offering Invisalign? Would you prefer to complete your Invisalign treatment at your family dentist’s office or would you be willing to drive to an experienced orthodontist that has completed hundreds of Invisalign cases?
