Status of Our Offices Reopening

May 8th, 2020

Dear Patients and Families,

We wanted to give you a quick update on the status of our offices reopening.

We are working hard to ensure the safety of our patients and staff prior to reopening. We are required to have certain PPE as you have heard from our governor, there is a shortage. We have ordered everything and just waiting for it to arrive. We are also required to get certification from the Maryland State Dental Association that we are compliant with the new standards due to the coronavirus. As such, we are happy to hear the governor's office has announced that dental and oral healthcare offices may begin to reopen, but it will be a little longer before we begin seeing patients in office. We will announce when we officially resume in- office visits and will also post updates on our website.

In the meantime, we are so happy to continue to offer virtual appointments. For those who has in- person appointments scheduled for the next few weeks, we will reach out to you directly to coordinate. We are also available to assist with any orthodontic emergencies. If you experience an emergency, please call the office to make an appointment.

Stay well everyone! We can’t wait to see you in the office, sometime soon!

The Team at Benkovich Orthodontics

March 25th, 2020

We're Going Virtual

In order to ensure the safety of our patients, our team and the community at large during the COVID-19 outbreak, we are adapting the way that we provide orthodontic treatment. What this means for you:

  • Regular appointments will now be done virtually, by videoconference
  • We will implement curbside pick-up for additional aligners
  • For all emergencies, please call or text (410) 268-1700
  • All new patient consultations will be conducted virtually

We will reach out shortly if you have an upcoming appointment to discuss the best option for your family.

Please know that we remain committed to the importance of your healthcare, comfort and safety. We will continue to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) updates, and will communicate further based on the expert advice of government departments, public health authorities and healthcare professionals.

We promise to keep you updated through this dynamic situation, and we look forward to continuing to make you smile!

Simply Smile: Small Changes That Make a Big Difference

December 9th, 2019

Not every orthodontic case is the same. While some patients need to address major orthodontic concerns affecting their their bite function and health; others simply know that small changes to how their smile looks could have a big impact on how they feel! 

Some of the parents in my practice had braces in the past (but didn’t wear a retainer) and lost the straight smile they once had. Many other adults have just never been happy with their smile. Maybe you’ve never considered orthodontics as an adult because you can’t imagine wearing metal braces to client meetings; maybe it’s because it’s a big time and financial commitment to undergo years of braces as an adult. 

Whichever boat you fall into, we have good news! My team and I don’t want any roadblocks in the way of you having a beautiful smile… or having it back again. 

That’s why we’re offering special treatment options to the adults of our community where my team and I will address only the elements of your smile that are most important to you. That means treatment times as short as 6 months and fees as low as $99 a month with no money down. With our virtual appointments you submit weekly photos via a smartphone app and I can monitor your progress. That means fewer in-person visits, more efficiency, and texts from me with feedback on your progress. 

You also get all the great benefits of Invisalign from a practice that has over 20 years of experience:

People won’t notice you’re wearing them

Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to straighten teeth. And, unlike traditional braces that you might have had as a kid, Invisalign aligners are removable. You take them out briefly when you eat or brush your teeth - that means no food caught between brackets; no flashbacks to the middle school cafeteria for you. Most of the time your aligners will stay in so they can do the work of moving your teeth. The good thing is that they are virtually invisible so people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

 

Expert Care

There are many services out there claiming they can mail you aligners and fix your teeth. We strongly believe that even the smallest changes to your mouth should be done under the in-person care of a trained and certified orthodontist, and the AAO agrees. Make sure you know who it is that is making changes in your mouth. What looks like a small fix could domino into major issues without a trained orthodontist looking at the full picture. 

Benkovich Orthodontics is a Gold Plus Invisalign provider. That means we're in the top echelon of Invisalign providers in Maryland and Washington DC area. We have 20 years of experience treating teens and adults with Invisalign. We know what we’re doing and we’ve treated cases that are difficult and those that are simpler. Our team strives for clinical excellence in a friendly and welcoming environment. We appreciate that you have a busy schedule and will make sure to have you in and out as quickly as possible - time is important to us! …. It’s one of the reasons why we offer treatment options that fit your needs.

Sometimes the most minor fix is just what you need

Together we will figure out which elements of your smile are most important to you. We’ll agree on a course of treatment to fix only those areas, and we’ll set an estimated timeline. Because of the limited nature of the adjustments we are able to improve your smile in a much shorter timeframe than for those looking for full orthodontic treatment.
