At Azure Dental, patients can find a complete approach to oral health, from routine cleanings to advanced orthodontics.
When it comes to dental care for children, prevention is often the best medicine, but not only when it comes to regular brushing and flossing. The same is true for orthodontic care that can help prevent more significant issues as children grow.
By intervening at a young age, dentists can effectively guide proper dental development of a child’s teeth, contributing to a healthy, functional and beautiful smile throughout their lives, explains Lake Country’s Dr. Paula Winsor-Lee, who shares with patients her years of experience and a passion for creating happy, healthy smiles.
“When we can intervene early, and treat children before all their permanent teeth have erupted, we can sometimes mitigate issues so fewer measures are needed later on,” explains Dr. Winsor-Lee, who treats patients of all ages, with a particular interest in pediatric dentistry.
With expertise that includes both traditional braces and more modern aligners, Dr. Winsor-Lee also welcomes more complicated cases. For example, “even where there’s a lot of crowding, we can often utilize appliances to create space for braces, without the need for extractions,” she says.
Non-extraction orthodontics, prioritizes creating space within the mouth rather than resorting to the removal of teeth. “We focus on making space, rather than taking teeth out,” she explains.
This approach has many advantages, including, contributing to a more well-rounded face, but the benefits extend beyond aesthetics. By preventing various health complications, including the collapse of the airways, which can have serious effects on an individual’s breathing function, it can also bring significant functional improvements that enhance the patient’s quality of life, Dr. Winsor-Lee says.
Dental care for every member of the family
Azure Dental offers a wide range of services for every member of the family, providing Lake Country residents with the convenience of one-stop oral health care.
Dr. Winsor-Lee continues to expand her depth of knowledge through continued learning, complementing the opportunity she’s had to learn directly from other highly skilled dentists throughout her career – training that has allowed her to gain a deep understanding of both general dentistry and orthodontics.
This, paired with the team’s commitment to exceptional care, brings a peace of mind for patients, who know their dental care is in good hands.
