Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Cosmetic Dentistry Options Have you thought about upgrading your smile? Cosmetic dentistry offers many exciting possibilities.

The quickest and least invasive procedure is light teeth whitening. The results are dramatic and teeth whitening side effects are minimal.

If your teeth are slightly crooked, but require no orthodontic work, porcelain veneers could be the answer. Porcelain teeth veneers are translucent, wafer-thin covers that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, correcting chips and stains. Prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth structure.

If your teeth are more than slightly crooked, it’s not too late for braces. Patients of all ages are undergoing orthodontic treatment and achieving fantastic results. The newest braces are less noticeable, more comfortable and bring teeth into alignment much faster than old-school metal braces.

Has gum recession caused the metal base of an old crown to be visible? Soft tissue grafts and crown replacement can correct this problem.

Are you missing one or more teeth? One of the best tooth replacement options is a dental implant. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Can you envision yourself with a dental makeover?
Call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330 to discuss your cosmetic dentistry options.

Common Myths about Dallas Family Cosmetic Dentistry

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Common Myths about Dallas Family Cosmetic Dentistry Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many so-called Dallas cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Dental procedures such as tooth replacement are smile-enhancing and, more importantly, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Dallas Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges are a Dallas dental cosmetic procedure that have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages for Ft. Worth dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Texas tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Mid-cities Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution

At Travis Walk Dental Care, we offer our Dallas dental patients teeth whitening treatments that provide a much greater level of whiteness than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide optimum results and can often lead to uneven coloring.

Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 214-522-4330 to set up an appointment so we can determine the best solution for you.

Myth #5: Dallas Braces are the Only Way to Straighten Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Dallas teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, Invisalign invisible braces can reshape your teeth and dramatically improve your smile.

Questions To Ask Your Dallas Dentist

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Questions To Ask Your Dallas Dentist Sometimes we research our Dallas mechanic or the metroplex hairdresser more thoroughly than our Dallas dental professional. Shouldn’t your dental care be far more important than the condition of your car or the style of your hair? At Travis Walk Dental Care, we love to answer questions about your teeth. You should be asking your Texas dentist any question you have about the care and status of your teeth.

For instance, you may have questions about the school of dentistry and dental specialties studied. Though important, dentistry school is not the only place to gain dental experience. Drs. Miranda and Lepard have been performing complex Texas dental procedures since 1991.

You should also be asking about the dentistry specialties your metroplex dentist offers such as tooth restoration and Invisalign invisible braces. These services may not be important to you now, but it is a good idea to have an understanding of your options, and to know what your the metroplex dentist has to offer.

If you are contemplating smile restoration, tooth implants, or tooth whitening, evaluate the metroplex cosmetic dentistry options with your dentist. Look at before and after pictures, and ask your the metroplex dentist what procedures may be right for you.

General dentists offer a variety of the metroplex dental services such as tooth extractions and tooth fillings, and can treat every member of the family. At Travis Walk Dental Care, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, dental crowns and procelain veneers.

You have many choices for your Dallas family dentistry. We welcome questions about all aspects of our Travis Walk Dental Care practice. Visit us at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX in Dallas and talk to a member of our classy and technologically advanced team.

Dallas Dental Implants and Dental Bridges

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Dallas Dental Implants and Dental Bridges

When our patients ask us about Dallas tooth restoration, we usually tell them about fixed (or ‘traditional’) dental bridges or dental implants. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which replaces a missing tooth. The false tooth (called a ‘pontic’) is fused to dental crowns on either side of the missing tooth.

Tooth replacement has been a highly requested procedure at our Dallas dental practice. Patients from the Mid-cities area and the Dallas Ft. Worth area have expressed concern about tooth replacement for many years. Most of our questions in the Dallas area have to do with the strength of the tooth replacement, and durability.

Dental implants are also popular concern for our Dallas tooth replacement patients. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

After it has bonded with the bone (it usually takes three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached. The entire process takes several months, but consistently yields terrific results for Dallas tooth restoration patients. Our Texas cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that we stay up to date on the latest advancements in dental implant and dental bridge procedures.

Both Texas smile restoration options preserve or restore facial contour and allow you to talk and eat normally. Tooth replacements prevent adjoining teeth from gradually shifting and can help correct bite problems, too. Tooth implants and dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth. Many Dallas area dental patients have been treated successfully with these tooth restoration alternatives.

Call Travis Walk Dental Care and ask for Drs. Miranda and Lepard to schedule an evaluation for  reconstructive dentistry right here in Texas. You can schedule your tooth restoration by calling us at 214-522-4330.
