With information and policies changing by the hour, we are doing our best to keep our patients and parents updated in a timely manner regarding the rising concerns with the COVID-19 virus. Per the mandate imposed by Governor Dunleavy on March 19th we are required to postpone all elective dental procedures until May 1st. All appointments that have been scheduled for the month of April have been cancelled and we will contact to you as soon as possible to reschedule. We will have a staff member checking our voicemail periodically for non-urgent communications and Dr. Koropp will be available to see a patient if needed in a true orthodontic emergency. If you are a patient of record and are experiencing oral pain or infection as a result of your orthodontic appliances, you may call our emergency phone line at 907-301-5119. We are still asking that If you are showing symptoms of being ill or have traveled internationally or domestically within the last three weeks that you please do not schedule an appointment. We know that many of our patients in orthodontic treatment will have questions and concerns regarding their appliances and what will happen if they are not seen on a regular basis. We have compiled a few frequently asked questions to hopefully ease your concerns. Will this delay my treatment? We know part of successful orthodontic treatment is showing up for your appointments. If that’s not an option under these unusual circumstances, it’s okay. Though your appointments are scheduled out to achieve maximum success, this hiccup shouldn’t have much of an impact on your overall treatment plan. You can help keep treatment on track by following Dr. Koropp’s instructions such as, avoiding hard and sticky foods and keeping your teeth clean. With limited appointments available, now is not the time to be breaking brackets, and keeping your teeth clean will ensure the best possible result. “Essential dental care.” What does that mean? We will not be open to see routine adjustment appointments. Orthodontic emergencies are defined as remedying one or more of the following: -Significant oral pain (keep in mind many patient emergencies can be managed by wax or clipping an arch wire with cuticle cutters or nail clippers) -Infection -Limited Function -Physically traumatic event yielding the above Unless any of the above is true, loose brackets and bands, as well as lost or broken retainers/aligners, should be considered elective. Dr. Koropp will be available for emergency appointments on an as needed basis. If would like us to mail you wax or additional rubber bands please call our office at 907-248-8999 and leave a message. Our priorities remain with our patients and staff to keep them safe and healthy. Thank you so much for your understanding as we navigate these uncertain times. We look forward to resuming our normal atmosphere at the office as soon as possible!
We offer a wide variety of treatment options, including traditional metal and clear braces, Incognito lingual braces, and Invisalign®. Invisalign gives you the option of straightening your smile using a series of clear, virtually invisible aligners. Incognito lingual braces are customized brackets placed on the back side of your teeth, where they are completely hidden from view. We also offer Propel, a revolutionary device used to speed up orthodontic treatment.
Our offices are equipped with the latest technology, including digital radiography and the i-CAT Cone Beam 3D imaging system, to ensure we provide the best orthodontic care possible. We use electronic treatment and scheduling systems to minimize paper waste. In the treatment area, there are computer monitors at every chair. This makes it easy to keep our patients and parents up-to-date on treatment progress using state-of-the-art imaging software.
