For our July Practice Spotlight, we’re back in New York at Brooklyn Oak Dental with Dr. Siama Muhammad and her experienced team.

Though this practice has offered clear aligners for eleven years, CandidPro has given Dr. Muhammad an aligner option that complements her holistic treatment philosophy and is built for the way she works.

“Clear aligner therapy can be an important part of protecting oral health and preserving the structure of my patients’ teeth as they age,” says Dr. Muhammad. “CandidPro makes this vital treatment efficient for my practice and convenient for my patients.”

If you’re located near Brooklyn, NYC and are in need of an experienced clear aligner provider, Brooklyn Oak Dental has you covered. Book an appointment with them today at brooklynoakdental.com.

Meet Mary. She’s our Senior Brand Designer here at Candid, and a current CandidPro clear aligner patient. She recently started her CandidPro journey with Dr. Siama Muhammad at Brooklyn Oak Dental. She’s only been in treatment for a few months, but she’s already seeing plenty of positive changes in her smile.

“I feel like I’m constantly improving my health when I’m wearing my aligners,” she says. “It’s like going to the gym every day, but for my oral health. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my oral hygiene. I look at my first ProMonitoring scans compared to where I am today, and I can see just how far my teeth have moved and how much brighter they are. It’s amazing.”

When dental providers sign up for CandidPro, they get a lot more than advanced orthodontics.

Our game-changing approach to partnership empowers our providers with the support they need to grow their practices while delivering excellent outcomes. Working with our CandidSMILE team, providers have seen clear aligner cases grow by up to 350% from hosting just one production day event.

Lucky Thirteen: How These Practices Averaged 350% Case Growth When dental providers sign up for CandidPro, they get a lot more than advanced orthodontics.

For this month’s Practice Spotlight, we’re visiting the western shores of Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh, WI to shine on Glacier Dental and all they’ve accomplished with CandidPro clear aligners.

This practice has been offering clear aligners on and off for the last ten years. Around a year ago, they began working with CandidPro, and everything changed.

“CandidPro has helped me drive more predictable outcomes with fewer office visits,” says Dr. Heather Carpenter. “I feel more comfortable treating a wide variety of patients, and I feel confident with their treatment outcomes.”

With fewer office visits and more clinical confidence, Glacier Dental hosted a wildly successful Love Your Smile Day event in May that helped several new patients begin their journey to a straighter, healthier smile.

“Starting so many new cases in one day would have been a logistical nightmare with our other aligner partners,” says Dr. Carpenter. “Our Account Executive, Linda Ehlers, and the CandidSMILE team made it so much easier by helping us streamline the processes we already had in place to make our team a well-oiled machine.”

If you’re located near Oshkosh, WI and are looking to give your smile a refresh, look no further than this incredible practice. Book an appointment with them today at glacierdental.com.

Summertime is a great time to start your journey to a straighter, healthier smile with clear aligners. But did you know that many clear aligner systems require regular in-person appointments?

If you have vacation plans this summer, you may have to skip an appointment here and there, which could throw your treatment timeline off track.

With CandidPro clear aligners, most of your appointments could be digital if your provider recommends it. Thanks to the ProMonitoring app and ScanBox Pro, you can share digital updates with your provider from home, your hotel, or even the beach, giving them the information they need to make informed decisions about your progress.
