Invisalign Provider Paul Gilreath visits Costa Rica Facility

Dr. Gilreath Invisalign Provider Marietta, GA

Last month, my family and I went to Costa Rica to visit the INVISALIGN “Treat Facility.” While there I also did some advanced Invisalign Continuing Education for two days and I presented several of my cases to dentists and orthodontists from all around the world. The Treat Facility is where INVISALIGN technicians use their advanced software to put together an Invisalign treatment plan, based on my instructions. They can manipulate the teeth on the screen to my exact specifications and positions and then the aligners are made from those specifications. It’s an incredible process that makes INVISALIGN one of the most incredible technologies that we can offer patients today.

Align (Invisalign’s parent company) put the INVISALIGN Treat Facility in San Jose, Costa Rica because the city has such a high number of Digital impression - Clincheck for Invisalign.highly educated young people. The facility employs over 800 people. While at the facility, I met David, my personal technician who handles all my cases.

I’m fortunate to have one person assigned to me as my technician because for most dentists and orthodontists, their cases are handled by any one of the various 700 technicians at the facility, based on who is available when the case comes in. Since David handles all my cases, he knows my treatment philosophy and how I like to approach my cases. This means the cases are ready faster and the attention to detail is extraordinary. It’s a win/win for me and for my patients.

Many people think that the INVISALIGN process and results are the same, no matter what dentist provides the service. This is far from the truth. Invisalign is a clinical procedure and the results that patients get from the INVISALIGN procedure is based solely on the talents, knowledge and experience of the dentist providing the treatment. I’m proud to offer INVISALIGN to my patients and feel that my comprehensive knowledge of the procedure allows me to get exceptional results! Thanks to all those in Costa Rica that made the trip so enjoyable!

And speaking of enjoyment…the trip coincided with my kid’s winter break, so we spent another six days in Costa Rica. If you’ve never been, it is a wonderful place to visit. Beautiful and diverse and scenic country. One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to the Arenal Volcano region. Costa Rica has many active volcanoes and our visit to Arenal was spectacular. Set right in the middle of a lush rain forest, the region is home to many exotic animals and lush vegetation. The highlight of the region (and of the entire trip) was our Paul Gilreath with his wife and children.Ziplining adventure at Skytrek. This facility is made up of 8 ziplines that cascade down a mountain. The highest zipline is 656 feet above the ground (close to the height of a 50 story building). You are fastened to the cable using a harness and pulley array. And that’s all. I’m deathly scared of heights as is my daughter, but we did it and in fact, Birdie loved it! If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for reading… and to quote the Tico’s (native Costa Ricans),

Our Client Reviews
Gilreath Family Dentistry

Sarah Khatib

Dr. Daniel Lee is the best dentist I've seen. She's so considerate of your fear of the dentist and was so painless although multiple procedures were done at the same time to save me a visit. Will definitely be coming here for years to come Il!

Susan

Dr. Gilreath is incredible with my kids. They love going to the dentist now! And this busy mom loves the warm neck wraps, the soft music and enjoying a latte while I relax!

Kenneth H.

Was lucky enough to find these guys when I got insurance that my old dentist did not take. Very professional and friendly staff! Office has the latest greatest technology as well. If you're looking for a new dentist, search no further!

Susie L.

Very personable and friendly, they took the time to go over my complex dental history and did not pressure me into anything. They gave their recommendations and priced out any options I had. Great group!

Camille Y.

Dr. Gilreath and his staff are top notch. I received the best cleaning I've ever had while watching my favorite show. The Doctor and his staff were all very polite, friendly, and courteous. They explained everything to me clearly and presented me with options in a gentle way that didn't make me feel pressured at all. It's obvious they really care about the wellbeing of their patients. The facility and equipment is really nice as well. I will definitely be back!

Juan R.

Always willing to work around my kids and my schedules. Today I had a long appointment. They started on time and always made sure I was comfortable and that the pain was managed so the procedure could’ve been completed without issues. Very courteous and professional staff.

Lucia B.

Awesome dental practice! The staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Gilreath is thorough and versed in the latest technology and procedures. I love that he can make crowns in the office while you wait (so no walking around with a temporary crown for days or weeks). I would strongly recommend this dental practice!

Matthew W.

I've been going here for about a little over a year now. I've had a few cleanings, a filling, and started Invisiline so far. Hands down, the best run dental office I've ever been to. In the past at other dental offices I often had to wait 30 or more minutes beyond my appointment time before being seen. At Dr. Gilreath's office I've been seen on time every time. They seem to have systems in place to make every part of your visit run smoothly. From how they took x-rays, to billing and appointments, to the work done by the hygienist/dentist, everything seems to run like a well oiled machine. On top of that all the staff are all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The office space itself is also quite nice. Very clean, well maintained, and seems very "up to date" with their equipment. If you're looking for a dentist and are anywhere in the northwest metro area I would highly recommend Dr. Gilreath.
