About mORPHEUS8

Morpheus8 is a relatively newer non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. It is a combination treatment that targets both the skin's surface and the underlying tissue. Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin to promote healing and collagen formation, while RF energy heats the tissue, further stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Morpheus8 is typically performed in a series of sessions, and the results can continue to improve over several months as collagen remodeling takes place.

Lauren S.

I have suffered a long time with not so great skin. After discussing all of my options with Geraldina (who is the BEST and HONEST with her opinions and recommendations), we chose a treatment plan that would work best not only for my skin type, but for my budget as well. I cannot speak more highly of her knowledge, skill, and bedside manners. I am obsessed with the way my skin has been coming along in this process! She even took the time to write up an entire skin care regimen for me! I was so happy with her work and my results that I have referred my entire family to her. Geraldina, you are a blessing to the Smile Culture Spa!!!

Julie C.

"Geraldina’s professionalism is second to none. She explains her services with specific detail and realistic expectations. Her approach allows her patients to feel as if she is a teammate in the pursuit of becoming more comfortable in their own skin. She is timely and is great with post-procedure follow up. I have noticed skin tightening with one Morpheus 8 treatment to my inner thighs and am beginning to see some muscle definition in my abdomen which is a great result after having 4 children. I am looking forward to seeing my final results and will always remember my time spent with Geraldina."

Cristina A.

"I had the best experience at the spa for my Morpheus and laser hair removal treatments. Geraldina is so patient, kindly explained everything she was doing, and made me feel so comfortable. Love that she has an emotional support dog, Lola. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!"

Theranda S.

"Overall an amazing experience! I had my consultation with Geraldina, where she informed me of the various treatments offered at the spa and throughly explained what would be best for my skin. I’ve started with Morpheus8 and the results have been amazing! I am so excited to continue my skin care plan that Geraldina recommended."

Rania F.

"I had Morphous 8 here with Gerldina, she is very knowlegable in the process, she made the experience very comfortable. I can't speak highly enough of her skin care skills, I am very very happy with the results. I will be going back for more. Money well spent."

Kathleen D.

"Highly recommend Smile Culture Spa!!! I have gotten multiple treatments and all with fantastic results!!! Geraldina is so gentle and kind when doing treatments. She is sure to explain in detail recommendations as well as procedures. She makes the whole experience fun and enjoyable! If you’re thinking about booking a consult… DO IT!!!! ❤️"

How it works:

The dental implant placement and restoration process

Placement

Once you’ve been approved for treatment, your doctor will schedule your oral surgery appointment and provide a surgical plan. During the surgery, your dentist in Flagstaff will make an incision in your gum tissue to securely place a dental implant in the jaw. Next, the area will be cleaned and sutures will be placed to begin the healing process.

Healing & Osseointegration

Your gums and jawbone will begin to heal once your implant has been placed. After 1-2 weeks, the incision site will be healed, but it will take 3-6 months for the implant to permanently bond with your jaw bone through a process called osseointegration. To ensure you are healing properly, we will see you for a couple of check ups during the osseointegration process.

Applying The Restoration

The final step in the implant treatment process is the restoration. Your restoration, or prosthetic dental crown, will be custom crafted to match your smile and securely affixed to the titanium implant. Once your new tooth is in place, your smile will be complete!

Digital Scans

Say goodbye to goopy impression trays and hello to comfortable and convenient digital scanning! Creating your custom Invisalign trays has never been easier.

Invisalign-Certified Provider

Dr. XYZ is an Invisalign Certified Provider. You can rest assured that your smile will be getting the industry’s best expertise when you come to our practice.

Digital Smile Design Mockups

Have Questions About Invisalign?

Find Answers Here

Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?

If you have minor or moderate orthodontic issues, you are likely a good candidate for treatment with Invisalign. So long as your mouth is free of any oral health issues like gum disease or tooth decay, you will probably be eligible to proceed with treatment. However, Invisalign is not for everyone. Severe orthodontic issues may not be able to be addressed with Invisalign. In these cases, we usually recommend treatment with traditional metal or ceramic braces as they can provide more powerful results. To find out about your options for orthodontic treatment, schedule your consultation today!

Can I use my Invisalign trays as a nightguard?

While Invisalign trays look very similar to night guards and mouthguards, we do not recommend that you use Invisalign as a nightguard. The clear plastic trays are designed to gently shift your teeth, not protect them. If you grind your teeth at night, we may recommend that you get a night guard to protect your teeth and go with traditional braces instead of Invisalign. If you wear your aligners at night and notice that they are becoming cracked or worn down, this may be a sign that you are grinding your teeth at night. This will affect your treatment so be sure to let your doctor know right away if you think you might be grinding your teeth.

How much does Invisalign cost?

The cost of treatment with Invisalign is usually comparable to the cost of traditional braces. Every case is different, though, so it’s important to discuss your budget with your doctor. During your consultation, your doctor will consider multiple factors including your needs, your lifestyle, and your budget before helping you decide which treatment to proceed with.

Can you see Invisalign when you’re wearing them?

Invisalign aligners are nearly impossible to see when wearing them. This is because they are made out of clear plastic and are perfectly fit to your smile. Your trays will be custom-made trimmed to fit to your gum line for a more seamless look. Plus there are no metal brackets or wires, so you can feel confident in your smile throughout treatment. However, if you eat or drink with your aligners in, they could become stained, making them more visible.

How are Invisalign trays made?

These clear aligners are designed onto a mold of your teeth. A lab technician will apply layers of a photo-sensitive liquid resin to this custom mold. Next, the technician will expose this resin to a laser, curing it into a hard, yet flexible, thermoplastic. This plastic is called SmartTrack®, and it was created exclusively for Invisalign treatment. It’s FDA-approved and contains no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten.
