Treating Bite Problems in Dallas

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Treating Bite Problems in Dallas Malocclusions (bite problems) include overbites, underbites and crossbites. Jaw alignment disorders restrict proper chewing, talking, and swallowing. They can also cause teeth to shift around in the mouth. Dallas dentistry patients with bite problems are at a greater risk for tooth decay and periodontal disease because bite misalignment often makes it difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene.

When the lower jaw is smaller than the upper jaw, it is called an overbite. When the situation is reversed, it is called an underbite. Crossbite occurs when lower teeth are in the wrong position.

Bite problems can cause headaches and TMJ pain. Some Mid-cities dental patients with severe bite problems develop a distorted facial shape and damaged teeth.

If you suspect your toddler or older child has a bite problem, it is important to see your Dallas dentist as soon as possible. Bite issues and their various related problems get worse over time.

At Travis Walk Dental Care, we diagnose and successfully treat bite problems in addition to providing general and cosmetic dentistry. We can be reached at 214-522-4330. Our office is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, in Dallas, TX. You can find out more about us at www.rusmiling.com.

Most of our patients live in Dallas or nearby in the metroplex or Mid-cities. If you have recently moved into the Dallas area and need a skilled family and cosmetic dentist, come visit our classy and technologically advanced team. We pamper every patient and make dental visits as comfortable as possible.

Tooth Decay in Dallas?

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Dallas Teeth Whitening At Travis Walk Dental Care, we restore decayed teeth to create smiles that are both healthy and beautiful. Recent advances in both techniques and materials have made the ‘impossible’ not only possible, but affordable for everyone in Dallas as well.

Drs. Miranda and Lepard have been restoring teeth since 1991. Ongoing training is essential for staying on the cutting edge of the cosmetic dentistry industry.

Decay is the most common Dallas dental problem and the second most common disease in the nation (number one is the common cold). If you have one or more teeth with decay, it’s time to take care of them.

Fillings, inlays, onlays and dental crowns are used to restore teeth for our Dallas cosmetic dental patients. Even the most basic procedure – filling a cavity – has evolved. There are several types of new materials available including porcelain and composite resin. Each has specific strengths and aesthetic considerations. Dallas patients who replace silver amalgam with tooth-colored fillings love getting the metal out of their smile.

Inlays and onlays are more extensive restorations. There are two types: direct or indirect. Direct inlays and onlays are made in your the metroplex cosmetic dental office on the spot and applied in one visit. Indirect inlays and onlays are fabricated in a the metroplex dental lab. They usually require a second visit but the results are well worth the extra trip.

When a Dallas client has a tooth that cannot be restored with an inlay or an onlay, a natural-looking dental crown is the answer. At Travis Walk Dental Care, we create dental crowns that blend in perfectly with the rest of your teeth. Let us show you some photos of patients who have received smile makeovers – you will not see any “Chiclet” crowns that stick out like a sore thumb. In fact, you won’t be able to tell which of our Dallas cosmetic dental patients have crowns.

Travis Walk Dental Care is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, in Dallas, TX.  Drs. Miranda and Lepard are currently accepting new patients. Call 214-522-4330 to schedule an aesthetic dental consultation.

Seeking A Relationship In Dallas?

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Affordable Dallas Cosmetic Dentistry Are you one of the many Dallas singles looking for a significant other? Perhaps you recently broke off a dysfunctional partnership and are determined to make a better choice this time around. I’m not talking about a relationship with a girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse – I’m talking about something equally important – your relationship with your Dallas dentist.

Why did you break up with your last dentist? Did he/she cause you fear, guilt and pain? Perhaps you quit seeing your dentist because it was a love-hate relationship – you hated going and he/she loved making you wait. Was your previous Mid-cities cosmetic dentist insensitive to your concerns? Was he/she a poor communicator? Perhaps you have simply moved into the Dallas area and need a new provider.

We are Drs. Miranda and Lepard of Travis Walk Dental Care.  We provide cosmetic dentistry in the Dallas area.  We understand that many patients are nervous (okay – downright terrified) about dental visits. We also realize that no client wants to be given a shameful lecture about their oral health.

Though we have years of experience and extensive training on all the latest cosmetic dental procedures such as porcelain veneers and dental implants, there are some things that can’t be learned in dental school such as how to build trusting relationships with your patients and create a relaxed atmosphere in your dental practice. I understand that Dallas dental clients can feel very vulnerable as they lie in the chair with their mouth open.  Our staff maintains a friendly environment in our pleasant office. We manage our practice carefully to minimize waiting and provide ample time for each valued patient.

Effective communication is a priority. We make sure our Dallas dentistry patients understand their restorative and cosmetic options and answer all their questions before we develop a treatment plan.

If you are currently seeking a considerate, experienced, and sensitive Dallas dentist, we look forward to meeting you. My phone number is 214-522-4330.

Why Aren’t You Smiling?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Dallas Dentistry Hello, I’m Dr. Joseph Miranda DDS.  My cosmetic dental practice is called Travis Walk Dental Care. We are located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX. You can reach us by calling 214-522-4330.

You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the Dallas area. Whether I am working with a Mid-cities dental patient, having dinner at a the metroplex restaurant, or attending a Ft. Worth sporting event, I notice whether the people around me smile. Whenever I encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, I want to tell them about the procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.

Are you one of those people who don’t want to show their teeth? I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not seeking dental treatment, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.

Perhaps you are afraid of dental work. Have you ever considered oral conscious sedation? With sedation dentistry, even extensive treatment is virtually pain free. Sedation will calm your mind as well as the nerves in your mouth.

Perhaps the cost of Dallas cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My classy and technologically advanced staff will be happy to talk to you about financing plans. It is important to remember that if your teeth are decayed, postponing treatment will cost more money in the long run. Filling a cavity is far more affordable dentistry than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a dental implant.

You can contact my office at 214-522-4330 or online at http://www.rusmiling.com. My Dallas family dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.

I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!

Advanced Dentistry in Dallas

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Advanced Dentistry in DallasThe world of dentistry continues to advance at a rapid pace. If you have visited a Dallas dentist in the past few years, you have probably noticed the things that make your visit more comfortable, such as the ability to watch TV or listen to music while receiving treatment.

The use of air abrasion has created the opportunity for drill-less dentistry for cosmetic and restorative dental patients. Drill-less dentistry requires no needles, no drill, and no numbness. Dental sedation is regularly used to help calm patients who feel anxious or nervous during dental treatments.

Many of the leading dental offices in the nation are beginning to use laser dentistry for more accurate cavity detection. Dental lasers are also used effectively for reshaping a damaged gum line and treating the affects of gum disease.

If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, call Travis Walk Dental Care 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.

Do You Love Your Smile?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Dallas Cosmetic Dentistry The  people in Dallas who are most happy with their smiles have healthy, straight teeth that sparkle when they laugh. If nature didn’t bless you with attractive teeth, you are not alone. Most perfect smiles you come across in Dallas were not always that way. They are the result of cosmetic dentistry performed by an experienced Dallas cosmetic dentist.

At Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas, Dr. Joseph Miranda provides state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. 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 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. 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 Dentist Dr. Joseph 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.

Love Your Smile in Dallas

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Love Your Smile in Dallas There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Dallas men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a the metroplex wedding, Mid-cities party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Ft. Worth tooth whitening can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Dallas cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Mid-cities whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Dallas tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Dallas tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Dallas tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching in Dallas is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.
