Newtown Dentistry is gearing up for another year as a full-service provider of oral care for all ages, with treatments ranging from routine dental checkups for children and adults to orthodontics, periodontics and oral surgery. Team members pride themselves on removing stress from dental visits by creating a trustworthy, one-stop shop for oral health.
Christine Landes, DMD — better known as Dr. Chris by patients — is a pediatric dentist and beloved member of Newtown Dentistry's masterful team. She highlights what's to come at the practice in the upcoming year.
WHAT IS NEWLY AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS IN 2026?
"We've opened a state-of-the-art Infant Laser Center dedicated to supporting newborn and infant anatomy, especially tongue-tie and lip-tie management. Our collaborative network includes lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, myofunctional therapists and sleep experts, providing seamless support for feeding, breathing and early development.
Additionally, our upcoming oral surgery center, set to open early this year, will feature CBCT technology and AI-enhanced imaging, reducing unnecessary radiation and improving diagnostic precision. This center will elevate care for wisdom teeth, implants, pathology and surgical needs.
One of the most exciting advancements in modern dentistry is the connection between orthodontics and airway development. Current research shows by guiding jaw growth early and supporting proper oral posture, we may reduce the risk of sleep apnea later in life. Our orthodontic team embraces this preventive approach, addressing not just a smile's appearance, but how children breathe, sleep and thrive.
We also integrate povidone-iodine therapy during orthodontic treatment, a gentle and effective method to decrease inflammation and reduce demineralization around brackets and aligners, leading to healthier gums, stronger enamel and better long-term outcomes."
