Sleep Dentistry in Fairfield, CT



Do you experience dental anxiety? Have you put off or delayed dental work because you’re nervous about scheduling an appointment? Or maybe you’re afraid you’ll feel a lot of pain? If any of these questions sound familiar, sleep dentistry from Dr. Susan Levine may be the right solution for you.

Dr. Levine works with an experienced sedation dentist, Dr. William MacDonnell. He has many years of experience in providing sleep dentistry to patients. He practices IV sedation. You will be extremely relaxed while remaining conscious enough to respond to questions from Dr. Levine during your treatment. 

Your vital signs, heart rate, blood pressure and breathing will be monitored the entire time to ensure your safety. Many patients may not even remember their procedure once it’s over, and are just left with a feeling of calm.

Sleep dentistry is a good choice if you experience any of the following:

  •  Heart problems
  • High blood pressure
  •  Strong gag reflex
  •  Dental phobia
  • Problems getting numb
  • Special needs
  • Parkinson Disease

Many dental procedures can be performed while using sleep dentistry, so there’s no reason you can’t have the dental work you need for the health of your smile while experiencing the comfort of IV sedation. If you’re nervous about your next dental visit, there’s a solution. Give us a call today to see if sleep dentistry could be right for you. We want all of our patients to be as comfortable as possible

Start Spring Right with a Dental Checkup



Spring is in the air: the flowers are blooming and it’s starting to get warmer. It is also a season that we associate with fresh starts and new beginnings. If you haven’t been to Dr. Susan Levine's office in a while, now is a great time to come in for your dental checkup and give your smile a fresh start.

We recommend all our patients have a dental checkup twice a year to ensure the health of their smile. Our caring staff will clean your teeth and answer any questions you might have about your smile or how to care for it. All plaque and tartar will be removed from your teeth using our special tools. 

Also, we will check your smile for signs of gum disease and root canal infections. Gum disease affects over 80% of Americans in some form or another. It is important to treat both these concerns sooner rather than later because they can negatively impact your smile if left alone too long.

If it’s been a while since your last visit, give us a call today to schedule your next dental checkup and make sure your smile is ready for spring and beyond. We want our patients to have beautiful, healthy smiles year round.

Invisalign for a Straighter Smile



Are your teeth not as straight as you’d like them to be? Do you find yourself putting off braces because you feel it won’t mesh well with your professional image that you’ve worked hard to cultivate? At Dr. Susan Levine’s office, we can help. We offer Invisalign, a clear braces solution.

This is a great option if you want straighter teeth but didn’t like the look of traditional braces. Dr. Levine is a certified provider and would love to analyze your smile and see if this would be a good fit for you. 

Invisalign works by using a series of removable clear aligner trays, so you have the freedom to remove them for easy cleaning or special occasions. You will switch out aligner trays every two weeks, and come in for a checkup every six to eight weeks, just to make sure your teeth are progressing correctly. Unlike regular braces, they don’t require adjustments, and there’s no metal to irritate your mouth. Your treatment can take anywhere from one to two years, depending on your teeth. Dr. Levine can give you a better estimate of how long it will take. 

Straighter teeth are not only more attractive, but they’re also easier to keep clean with no awkward crevasses for food to hide and bacteria to grow. Invisalign is a great way to straighten your teeth, and the clean aligners make it a practically invisible process. Call us if you’re interested or want to learn more.
