Wonderful place for my special needs daughter. She is not always cooperative. They are very good and patient with her. Thankful she can receive anesthesia at the office and not have to take her for out patient service at a hospital. Thank you to all the staff 😇

Best experiences ever. My two special needs children need sedation dentistry and see Dr. Thoms. Dr. Thoms is so kind, caring and reassuring. He truly has a special gift in treating people with special needs. So grateful to be his patients.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re grateful for the opportunity to provide care in a supportive and reassuring environment.

Dave K.

As a 75 year old man, I have been to several dentist’s and none compare to Dr. Thoms and Dr. Behl. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. I have had some major work done and I/V sedation is definitely the way to go. Five stars to the entire team at DAC. I highly recommend their services.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! We truly appreciate your trust in our team. It’s always our goal to provide comfortable, high-quality care to every patient.

If you love coffee and wear Invisalign, then you probably wonder if it’s safe to drink hot coffee while wearing them. So, is it safe? Well, we hate to break it to you, but the answer is a resounding no. But it’s not all bad news; you can still enjoy your favorite beverage by making a few adjustments to your daily routine. But before we get to that, let’s look at a few reasons why you shouldn’t drink coffee while wearing your Invisalign.

1. Invisalign trays are usually made of a thermoplastic material that melts under high temperatures. Therefore, when you drink your hot coffee while wearing your Invisalign tray, it will melt and deform. Unfortunately, this means your Invisalign tray won’t achieve its intended purpose, which is to straighten your teeth.
2. Coffee is a strong beverage and is one of the most common causes of stained teeth. When you drink your coffee while wearing your Invisalign, it will stain your teeth as well as your Invisalign tray. This ends up ruining your beautiful smile.
3. Coffee contains sugar and creamer, two ingredients that contribute to tooth decay and cavities. This is worse for people who drink coffee with lots of cream and sugar. Drinking coffee with your Invisalign tray traps sugar and creamer between your teeth and the Invisalign tray. This can lead to tooth decay and cavities.

Invisalign Coffee Drinking Rules

You can still enjoy your daily cup of coffee with Invisalign treatment. Here are some tips to help you along.

• Always remove your Invisalign tray before you drink your coffee. And remember to put them in a clean and safe place.
• Try and drink your coffee in a short time. Dentists recommend wearing your Invisalign mold for 22 hours daily for the best results. So as much as you want to sip your coffee slowly and enjoy it, avoid taking too long. Instead, keep your coffee break short. 15 to 30 minutes is enough time to enjoy that cup.
• Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine. Whenever possible, always brush your teeth after drinking your coffee. This will help remove particles stuck in the Invisalign tray and also prevent staining of the teeth.
• Avoid adding creamer and sugar to your coffee. These two are the biggest culprits when it comes to tooth decay and cavities.
• Drink lots of water. Taking water and swishing it around your mouth after your cup of coffee will rinse out any particles from your mouth and freshen your breath.
