Restoring Smiles at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Restoring Smiles at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Travis Walk Dental Care, we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many Dallas smiles better than they ever were before!

Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that are attached to the front of one of more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both.

Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.

Some of our Texas dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, come on in; we’ll help you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile.

Put your best face forward with a brand new smile!

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?

Porcelain Veneers in Dallas

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Porcelain Veneers With porcelain veneers, you can revamp your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that are attached to the front of your teeth. Porcelain has been used in dentistry for many years because no other restorative material is such an excellent match for natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is translucent and can be matched to the color of any tooth. It is stronger than enamel and resists stains. Dental ceramists who fabricate porcelain veneers are both artists and technicians. They create beautiful paper-thin wafers that adhere to teeth, correcting chips and stains. Porcelain veneers can also straighten crooked teeth for patients who don’t need orthodontic work.

Patients who receive porcelain veneers appreciate the less-invasive process of enhancing their smile. Newer techniques require no removal of healthy tooth enamel.

We would be happy to show you what dental veneers can do for your smile at our Dallas dental office.

Travis Walk Dental Care is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX in Dallas. We provide skilled dental care for patients in the greater Dallas area. Our phone number is 214-522-4330.

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.

Dallas Prepless Veneers

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Dallas Prepless Veneers

One of the latest breakthroughs in Dallas cosmetic dentistry is prepless veneers. Though thousands of the Metroplex and Mid-Cities smile restoration clients who have received traditional veneers are happy with the results, some Texas dental clients have delayed this procedure because they do not want to lose healthy tooth structure.

Dallas prepless veneers are a less-invasive procedure for transforming smiles. New Travis Walk Dental Care prepless veneers are incredibly thin shells which adhere to the face of teeth and require no removal of tooth enamel. Most Dallas prepless veneers, such as Lumineers,  are about the thickness of two pieces of paper. Because the color is built into the veneers (instead of being applied after fabrication), they look like your natural teeth–only better!

Our experienced Texas ceramists are skilled artists. They create each custom Dallas dental veneer with the optimum shape, color and thickness for your new smile. Another great feature of the Travis Walk Dental Care prepless veneers application procedure is that it requires no anesthesia or drilling.

If you are embarrassed by misaligned, discolored or broken teeth, prepless veneers may be a Texas smile restoration solution that you can feel good about.

Call Travis Walk Dental Care to learn more about prepless veneers in our Dallas office. It is the first step toward your dazzling new smile!
