At Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas, Dr. Miranda DDS provides the state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We treat patients from 18 to 100. You are never too young or too old to improve your smile; but it will definitely make you feel younger!

Two common smile-killers are yellow enamel and chipped teeth.

Discolored Teeth

Few Dallas people have pearly white smiles that stay that way forever. Even with consistent brushing, flossing and regular dental cleanings, our teeth darken as we age. Fortunately, the most affordable Dallas cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth whitening. Picture yourself with a celebrity-caliber smile. It is possible with safe and affordable teeth whitening at Travis Walk Dental Care.

Damaged Teeth

Our teeth work hard for us day after day, year after year. Sometimes they get chipped or cracked in the process. If you would like to fix your tooth flaws, schedule a consultation by calling Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330. We use porcelain veneers every day to remedy tooth trauma. Cosmetic bonding has been used with fabulous results for many years and bonding is usually a fraction of the price of a crown.

Ask Dr. Miranda which of our Dallas cosmetic dentistry procedures can be completed in one appointment. How about a same-day smile makeover?

If you have never been eager to show your teeth when you smile or laugh, now is the time to change that. Call Travis Walk Dental Care today at 214-522-4330 to schedule a smile design consultation.

Dallas family dentists recommend dental crowns to remedy the following problems:

• A broken tooth with decay
• An ill-fitting existing crown
• A decayed tooth that has lost significant tooth structure
• A tooth that has had a root canal
• A tooth that is too small or misshapen
• A tooth that causes a bite problem

Before your the metroplex dentist can attach the crown to your tooth, we must prepare the tooth. Dallas family dentists often apply a local anesthetic so you won’t feel pain during the prepping.   Your dentist will remove decay, if any, and shape the tooth to receive the crown. Then a mold is taken of the prepped tooth and surrounding teeth.

A temporary crown is then placed on the tooth to protect it until you return to your Dallas dentistry office to receive the permanent restoration. The patient needs to be careful while wearing the temporary crown. Vigorous brushing or flossing can displace the crown or damage the exposed soft tissue. The the Dallas dental crown patient should also refrain from eating extremely hard foods like nuts or sticky candy.

The mold of your teeth is sent to a Texas dental lab where your crown is built. Dental crowns are fabricated in three varieties: tooth colored crowns made of resin or porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and solid metal crowns. Each type has its pros and cons. Your Dallas cosmetic dentist at Travis Walk Dental Care will choose the best crown material for your particular tooth.

What if you need a permanent dental restoration for both the top and root of your tooth? A dental implant is your answer.

Hello, I am dentist Dr. Miranda. Welcome to my dental blog.

Because my chosen profession is cosmetic dentistry, I create total smile makeovers for my clients.

If you are not familiar with the latest dental advances, you might not realize what cosmetic dentistry can do for you. I have dedicated my professional life to creating perfect smiles. If you are not satisfied with your smile, or are embarrassed by the condition of your teeth, I hope you will call to schedule a free consultation. Our phone number is 214-522-4330.

The truth is: you don’t have to go through life with an unattractive smile.

When I talk to a valued Mid-cities or Dallas patient who trusted me with their smile makeover earlier in my career, it is gratifying to see that their teeth still look terrific.

Because the art and science of cosmetic dentistry procedures advance with the speed of technology, the smile makeovers I perform now are even quicker and easier. The materials for fillings, crowns, veneers, and dental implants are incredibly strong, translucent, and beautiful in every way.

There are few investments in life that bring daily appreciation like cosmetic dentistry. To book a cosmetic dental consultation today, call 214-522-4330 or visit http://www.rusmiling.com/pages/about.htm. Travis Walk Dental Care is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX in Dallas, Texas.

We offer the full spectrum of cosmetic dental procedures. You can read more about our smile makeovers and general dental procedures at http://www.rusmiling.com/pages/about.htm.

Make this year special with a beautiful new smile!

The skilled Dallas cosmetic dentists consider the length and angle of the facial midline to properly position porcelain crowns, veneers and dental implants. When front teeth restorations do not line up with the facial midline, it is called a canted midline. This is a common mistake found in the cosmetic work of inexperienced cosmetic dentists.

Most dentistry patients do not realize the level of 3-D engineering required in cosmetic dentistry. In addition to the orientation in relation to the facial midline, there is also the angle and size of the teeth in relation to each other and in relation to the size and shape of the lips and gums.

If you are considering an extensive smile makeover, you do not want to trust your smile to an inexperienced cosmetic dentist. When you have a smile design consultation with Dr. Joseph Miranda feel free to ask probing questions about Dr. Miranda’s experience and technical design procedures. We are confident that you will feel comfortable choosing Dr. Miranda as your cosmetic dentist for your smile makeover.

Travis Walk Dental Care offers a full range of general and cosmetic dental procedures. Ask us about veneers, clear braces, tooth whitening and restorative dentistry. We look forward to meeting you.

What may not be as obvious are the advances in techniques, tools and materials. Top Dallas dentists now use digital computer imaging which is safer than traditional x-rays. Dental technicians can store, retrieve and transmit digital images much easier than was possible with traditional x-ray film.

The use of lasers has also changed the face of dentistry. Laser surgery requires less anesthesia, minimizes swelling, and protects surrounding tissue. Dallas dentists use lasers for detecting and treating cavities and dental technicians use them for the curing of restorative materials.

Another exciting development in cosmetic dentistry is the CAD-CAM technology that allows Dallas cosmetic dentists to perform restorations in a single visit. The types of procedures that can be completed in one visit include crowns, fillings, inlays, onlays and dental veneers.

If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330 to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, you can see before and after photos of some of our smile makeover clients. We would love to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted, and we have the tools, experience and technology to make that happen.

Dr. Miranda

Teeth whitening, crowns, porcelain veneers, and dental bonding are some of the common cosmetic dentistry procedures in the Dallas, Texas area.

In many cases, the metroplex general dentists achieve excellent results. However, there is a difference between adequate results and incredible results. Dallas cosmetic dentists have the skills and experience to create absolutely beautiful smiles.

You have probably seen attractive front teeth crowns performed by a general dentist. They are often perfectly shaped, correctly aligned and pleasingly white. But have you ever seen front teeth crowns done by a true artist? The color, translucency, and texture take the crowns to the ultimate level of breathtaking beauty.

We are Drs. Miranda and Lepard of Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas. We would love to tell you the specifics about our experience and specific training in the specialty of cosmetic dentistry. We can show you photos of mediocre cosmetic procedures performed by competent general dentists and you can compare them with photos of some of our actual Dallas cosmetic dentistry patients.

For a cosmetic dentistry consultation, call 214-522-4330 today.

What’s more, Dallas cosmetic dentistry is surprisingly quick and virtually pain-free. Why? Because of advanced dental technology and new sedation dentistry options.

At Travis Walk Dental Care, Drs. Miranda and Lepard perform dental miracles everyday. Regardless of the number of teeth affected, Drs. Miranda and Lepard re-design smiles and correct problems by skillfully performing cosmetic dental treatments.

Orthodontics can be the answer for misaligned teeth. Even if you have suffered with crooked teeth for years, a short time enduring Invisalign invisible braces will be well worth it.  It’s never too late to straighten your teeth!

If you have teeth that are decayed or otherwise damaged, there are several remedies. Porcelain crowns, inlays, onlays, dental bonding, dental veneers are some of the effective procedures.

What if a tooth is missing entirely? A dental implant is a complete restoration; including a new root!

Perhaps all of this sounds too good to be true. If you are a skeptic, schedule a smile makeover consultation today and find out for yourself. Drs. Miranda and Lepard will explain how your teeth can be transformed and you can see before and after photos.

We are located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, in Dallas, TX. Call 214-522-4330 for an informative, no-pressure discussion with Drs. Miranda and Lepard.

Composite Veneers
The application of porcelain veneers at Travis Walk Dental Care can remedy a multitude of aesthetic dental problems and is often a better cosmetic dental solution for candidates in the the metroplex area than dental bonding. Veneers can correct tooth chips, tooth cracks, minor tooth misalignment, tooth discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size. Can a porcelain veneer create a perfect tooth? While a veneer cannot fix a decayed tooth, it can turn an unsightly tooth into an aesthetically perfect tooth.

Tooth Whitening
Dallas tooth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment that dramatically improves a smile. However, some Dallas tooth whitening dentists will guarantee fantastic results for any patient that desires a whiter smile. At Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas we only recommend tooth whitening for clients that are good candidates for the process. If you have all-natural teeth that are dull or stained, tooth whitening will brighten your smile. If you have several crowns in the front of your mouth, or gums that have receded, conventional tooth-whitening may not improve your smile.

Call 214-522-4330 to schedule a tooth-whitening consultation.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a mouth full of metal fillings, you may be interested in tooth-colored fillings. To get an idea of how the inside of your mouth would look without metal, have someone without any fillings open their mouth. Do you remember when your mouth looked like that? Would you like to bring your smile back to its pre-filling appearance? It is possible with tooth-colored fillings at Travis Walk Dental Care.

These are just a few of the cosmetic dental solutions that create perfect smiles for our Dallas clients. You can see a complete list of our services at www.rusmiling.com.

It used to be that in Dallas you could find a cosmetic dentist just by walking down to the corner of the street. Like many small towns, there would be a dentist on the corner of ‘north and main’, just up from the fire house, and across from the bakery.

Today, finding a cosmetic dentist around Dallas can take a little more time, and a little more effort. Our local Dallas community is spread out a little more, and there is more than one option for finding a local dentist in Dallas.

Let’s look at a few of the ways to find a local cosmetic dentist in Dallas:

The old timers among us still reach for the yellow pages when we look to find a dentist in our local Dallas community. The yellow pages have been a standard for dentists since the beginning, and are a quick way to get a good list of local Dallas dentists.

Studies are showing an ever increasing number of Dallas consumers are turning to their Internet connection to find a cosmetic dentist. To find a cosmetic dentist online can mean more than just a name and a phone number; many dentists, like us, have additional information on their website that will help you gain a better understanding of their practice and the services they provide.

Many people find a dentist in the Dallas community through printed mailers and flyers that come to your door. Dallas cosmetic dentists spend a lot of money on these types of flyers, which can often carry a discount opportunity or special promotion.

The most popular method used to find a local cosmetic dentist? …Word of mouth. Studies have shown that people in Dallas are more willing to listen to a family member or close friend when it comes to finding a local Dallas dentist.

We understand this last point, and make it our job to keep our patients happy, healthy, informed and comfortable during their visit to the dentist. We know if you leave happy, your friends and family in the Dallas area will hear about us, too.

If you are looking for a dentist in Dallas, please give us a call. You can reach us at 214-522-4330.

If you know a friend who is trying to find a dentist in the Dallas area, please pass our name along.

We look forward to seeing you both!  We provide many cosmetic dentistry services such as dental implants and teeth whitening.

Unlike conventional removable dentures, extensive mouth reconstruction involves strong, functional and aesthetically pleasing teeth with roots permanently anchored into the jaw bone.

You have probably heard around Dallas about dental implants; the tooth replacement option that is, in most cases, the best possible replacement for a missing tooth. Dental implants have been used in Dallas for many years to replace one or two missing teeth. However, they can also provide a structure for crowns, bridges, and anchored dentures that replace nearly every tooth in the mouth!

Every Dallas smile makeover patient requires a somewhat unique combination of cosmetic dental procedures, but let’s talk about a hypothetical case involving several restorations:

‘Linda’ was a 52 year-old Dallas patient with a mouthful of problems. She was missing most of her back teeth on both her upper and lower arch. Four of her front teeth were chipped and her gums had eroded revealing the metal bases of two old crowns.

To restore a beautiful, strong and youthful-looking smile, she would receive dental implants to anchor partial dentures for her upper and lower back teeth. After soft tissue grafts, her front teeth would receive a combination of porcelain crowns and veneers.

The result? A stunning smile, renewed confidence and no more slipping dentures!
