TJ M.
The office was so nice and made me feel very safe. I’m so glad I came here to get my teeth cleaned. Kudos to the staff for being so nice during my visit.
Rebekah T.
I’ve been a patient before and after the new name and change of workers plus doctor. Still highly recommend this place. Kind and friendly. Love all the new remodels they have done to the place.
Thomas H.
Highly recommend this dentist - in fact have referred a work colleague today who is looking for a new dentist. All staff are great, perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness.
Diana J.
Excellent care provided in a kind and caring manner. Both the dental tech and the dentist took the time to discuss my concerns and provide detailed explanations of what options are available to me. Highly recommend this dental practice!
John M.
Recently I broke one of my molars chewing on jawbreaker candy. The tooth was really bothering me. I was able to call the practice and they got me in the same day and quickly fixed the tooth for me. I couldn’t have been happier about the care I received. Great dentist and great practice
Kelley H.
Very nice staff, from the front office to the dentist. The assistant and hygienist were great and the Dr. explained the treatment plan and answered any questions we had. They were able to start treatment on the same day.
L B
Dr. Lee and his team have done a wonderful job making this office their own.Everyone is so friendly and great at what they do.They were able to provide me with Suresmile treatment, something previously unavailable at this office, which I'm so very excited about! I have referred friends and family here as well.Thank you guys for being awesome!
Mags G.
So this practice is now under Doctor Christopher D. Lee and I couldn’t be happier. He’s super nice and very personable. Went and got my dental cleaning last week and went in for a cavity filling this morning. Quick and easy!
Dominick A.
I've been going to this practice since 2008; my recent visit was my first with Dr. Lee. He and the team are wonderful!
Dawn L.
I've been going to this practice since 2008; my recent visit was my first with Dr. Lee. He and the team are wonderful!
Sean B.
Honestly, Dr. Schuiteman is by far the finest dentist I’ve ever visited. Previous dentists (at other locations) have led me to not want to return… they wanted to get me in and out as quickly as possible, they didn’t remotely care about comfort, and they would lecture me on flossing (which, honestly, was somewhat warranted)..
Patricia D.
I have a good experience each time I go, especially when there's no cavities. I'm still afraid of the drill regardless of who's holding it, ha! But the ladies are lovely and the doc's are so nice, they are really very good.
Jasmine M.
This is the cleanest and most professional dental office I have been to! Dr and hygienist were both so kind! Front office lady was welcoming and sweet! My teeth feel great and I walked out feeling Grateful to have found this office!
Victoria S.
Love Dr. Schuiteman!!! If you are looking for a new dentist or not satisfied with your current dentist, look no further. The staff is amazing and the new dentist Logan Schuiteman has an incredible bedside manner. She is very patient, listens intently, is a great teacher and very gentle. She always is checking to make sure you are well informed and remain comfortable. Highly recommend!!
Sophie S.
Never before in my life have I said that I loved a dentist, but I love it here. Dr. Schuiteman is incredibly knowledgeable and makes sure to go through everything with you during the whole process. She is the best dentist I have ever had. The hygienists are also lovely, and the environment is generally very comfortable and positive. I’m always in and out very quickly. I would recommend this office to anyone.
Donnie G.
The staff at NLD is awesome! We have always enjoyed the friendly conversation while getting the best care. The facilities are always clean and they have the latest equipment to service any of your dental needs. Special thanks to Dr. Schuiteman, her level of detail in explaining the process while making your comfort the most important part.
Chaya D.
Dr. Lee was very knowledgeable and very passionate about his craft. The staff was very nice. I know when I visit the office, I am in good hands.
Jerrica P.
Dr Schuiteman is amazing! She is very thorough and amazing at explaining everything. Jeani ALWAYS does an amazing job too :)
Enna W.
Absolutely wonderful place! I have a extreme fear of the dentist which played a big part in why I haven't been in ten years but they made me feel so comfortable and at ease! I'll be recommending to anyone looking for a dentist!
M. Mmullinz
Dr. Schuiteman is fantastic! She is calm, thorough, patient, and talks through the procedure to explain what she’s doing. Very good practice, the interior and environment is very clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.
Patty M.
Always clean, professional, friendly and I trust them to be completely honest with me about what is and is not needed. I highly recommend Dr Lee and his staff.
Cody H.
Professional, competent, and caring staff. I've never had such good treatment at a dental office as this place. The practices used seem cutting edge...They've certainly raised the bar for my experience with dental needs. The doctors go the extra distance to make sure you're comfortable as well. Very satisfied.
Tabatha C.
I am a new patient and saw both dentists. Both were kind and informative as I had to have fillings (bummer). I'm not sure how to spell her name but Jeannie the hygienist was so lovely. It was nice to have a warm, sweet, smiling hygienist instead of a cold, quiet one.
Becky C.
New Life Dentistry takes great care of their patients! From Lo at the front desk, to your cleaning with Jeani they are both top notch! I have seen a lot of Dentist, but Dr Schuiteman is one of the best! She takes her time explaining everything she is doing from beginning to the end! They have truly been a blessing to me and my family!

Experience the Invisalign® Difference

The Health Benefits of Straight Teeth

Invisalign® isn’t just about achieving a beautiful smile; it’s also about improving oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. A correct bite also alleviates issues caused by an improper bite, such as jaw pain and wear on your teeth.

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth. It's an alternative to traditional metal braces, offering a more discreet and comfortable way to improve your smile.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign aligners apply gentle, controlled forces to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series, progressively straightening your teeth over time.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, but you may start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign is generally not painful. Some people may experience temporary discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment as the teeth start to move. This discomfort is typically described as pressure and is a normal sign that the aligners are working.

Can I eat with Invisalign aligners in?

No, you should remove your Invisalign aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage to the aligners and maintains oral hygiene.

How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?

For best results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

Some people might experience a slight lisp when they first start wearing Invisalign aligners. However, this is typically temporary and goes away once your mouth gets used to having the aligners.

How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?

Clean your Invisalign aligners daily. Rinse them under lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, unscented soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

How much does Invisalign cost?

The cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to traditional braces and varies depending on the complexity of your case. Your dentist can provide a more specific cost estimate after an initial consultation.

Is Invisalign covered by dental insurance?

Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of Invisalign treatment just as they would other orthodontic treatments like braces. Check with your insurance provider for details about your coverage.

How do I get started with Invisalign?

The first step is to schedule a consultation with an Invisalign-trained dentist or orthodontist. They will assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
