In today’s image-conscious world, a radiant smile has become more than just a facial feature; it’s a powerful statement of confidence and self-assuredness. Fortunately, the realm of cosmetic dentistry has evolved by leaps and bounds, offering a myriad of innovative techniques and treatments that can transform your smile into a work of art. From teeth whitening and porcelain veneers to invisible braces and complete smile makeovers, the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.
Thank goodness it is never too late to get the perfect smile. No matter what you’ve been through, there is a solution. At Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, they strive to get you the smile you long for. I recently talked with a patient at Park Dental to hear how Dr. Scopu and her team transformed the smile and confidence of one of her patients, Alex King. He had nothing but the highest praise for his experience.
Alex, what can you tell me about your dental journey at Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry?
Alex: I would start by saying that my experience has been fantastic since day 1. I have always been a bit self-conscious about my smile. When I look back at old photos, I wasn’t smiling. I lacked confidence in myself, and it was partly because of my smile.
What made you go to Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry?
Alex: Well, my mother, actually. She went to Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry and got Invisalign aligners, and the results were amazing. So, I talked with Dr. Scopu about my options, and we decided that Invisalign would work for me as well.
How long was the process?
Alex: In all, I wore Invisalign for two years. At first, I had to go in once a month for revisions and adjustments, then every 4-6 weeks, then only once a month. Now, I see my hygienist, Stephanie, twice a year for cleanings.
How were you treated by the staff at Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry?
Alex: Fantastic. Dr. Scopu is kind, caring, and patient. She listens to her patients’ needs and works to find the right solution for each individual. And Stephanie, my hygienist, is phenomenal too. I have never had a bad experience at Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. As soon as you walk in the door, you just know you’re in the right place. The whole staff is great.
Wow, it sounds like Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is the whole package. Thank you for sharing your experience with me, Alex!

Invisalign
Are you looking to improve your smile with minimal interference in your daily life?
Don’t want to deal with visible metal brackets and wires?
The Invisalign teeth straightening system may be just what you are looking for!
Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth by using a custom-made series of aligners created specifically for you. The aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic which will gradually and gently shift your teeth. Most people won’t even notice you are straightening your teeth.
Dr. Scopu is hosting an Invisalign promotional day Saturday, October 28 at the office, limited spots available. Call today to reserve yours.
