Tooth Whitening and Your Dentist

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular dental procedures in Texas. It seems that everyone in Dallas is whitening their teeth to help their smiles look younger and brighter. Many consumers in the Dallas area are turning to over-the-counter solutions to whiten their teeth, however their can be dangers and pitfalls to this approach.

Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Travis Walk Dental Care:

First, we encourage you to visit our office in Dallas before starting a tooth whitening system. It is a good idea to have your teeth checked and analyzed before starting a tooth whitening program. Tooth whitening is not for everyone, and depends on your dental history.

Dentist Joseph Miranda at Travis Walk Dental Care can help you determine whether your teeth can be whitened safely and effectively. We can also recommend tooth whitening solutions that will work best for you. Travis Walk Dental Care is a good place to start for this important decision.

There are many pitfalls to be aware of when whitening your teeth. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products available in the Dallas area will provide varying degrees of effectiveness on your teeth. If used improperly, tooth whitening solutions can cause problems including tooth sensitivity, over whitening, damage to your tooth enamel, and irregular coloration. Whitening too much can even have a reverse effect, making your teeth look gray.

Most tooth whitening product manufacturers recommend that you visit your local Dallas dentist when things go wrong with your over-the-counter tooth whitening solution. We recommend you begin with the classy and technologically advanced professionals at Travis Walk Dental Care to get started with a tooth whitening solution that will give you the best tooth whitening results.

Our office is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, in Dallas,
Texas 75205. Please give us a call or stop by to make an appointment to discuss your tooth whitening plans. We are eager to help you make the best decision about your tooth whitening.

I look forward to seeing your beautiful bright smile.

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Dallas

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Dallas If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:

Cost
In the long run, It is less expensive to do it all at once. At Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most Dallas residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at 214-522-4330 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.

Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Dallas dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry
When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss oral sedation dentistry. Many cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. Conscious sedation is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Dallas

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Dallas Each separate restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedure performed in Dallas can address a specific dental problem. For example, a porcelain veneer can perfect the surface of a tooth that is discolored or slightly misshapen. Dental bonding can fill a small chip in an otherwise healthy tooth.

Some Dallas dental problems are more extensive and require a combination of procedures. Crown restoration combined with soft tissue grafts can restore a severely decayed tooth with the root exposed. A bone graft and dental implant can restore a missing tooth in an area where the jaw bone has receded. Orthodontia followed by tooth bleaching totally transforms a smile by straightening and whitening.

What is the difference between tooth bleaching and whitening? Whitening is the term for procedures which remove surface stains to restore the degree of natural lightness. Bleaching goes even further by lightening teeth beyond their natural shade. That’s right: you don’t have to resign yourself to yellow teeth even if they have been that way your whole life! The natural shade of your teeth, by the way, like your skin and hair color, is determined by genetics.

Some Dallas smiles have been gleaming for years by regular whitening. You can maintain the whiteness of your teeth just as you maintain your fitness level. (Of course it is a lot easier to make a quick visit to your Dallas dentist once a year for whitening touch-ups than sweating in a gym several times a week!)

We live in an age where severe dental problems can be permanently corrected. You don’t have to participate in a TV makeover show in Hollywood to access these premium cosmetic dental procedures. They are available right here in Dallas. Dr.Joseph Miranda has the same advanced training and extensive experience as the dentists who keep the smiles of famous actors and musicians camera-ready.

Schedule a consultation at Travis Walk Dental Care to discover the perfect combination of procedures to achieve your ultimate smile. Our phone number is 214-522-4330.

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Dallas

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Dallas Many Dallas professionals, students and retirees are enjoying the lasting benefits of aesthetic dentistry. A beautiful smile not only looks great, it makes you feel great! When you first look in the mirror in the morning while brushing those gleaming babies, you remember; oh yeah, I fixed my teeth and they look fantastic!

When you smile at old friends or make new ones, you are happy to show off your new movie-star grin. When you are in a professional setting speaking with colleagues or clients, you feel poised and super confident.

We have talked about different cosmetic and restorative dental procedures available in Dallas in previous blog articles, but let’s review the most common.

Veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that adhere to teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong and have the translucency of natural teeth. They correct chips, stains and misaligned teeth that do not require orthodontia. There are several companies that fabricate veneers. One of the most well-known brand names is Lumineers.

Crowns correct more extensive tooth problems. They are used in a variety of situations such as the final restoration following a root canal or to restore teeth damaged by decay, injury or periodontal disease.

Dental implants are one of the best fixes for a missing tooth. They are becoming a popular and effective alternative to bridges and partial dentures, especially among middle-aged professionals and people in the public eye.

Bridges are another strong, natural looking replacement for one or more missing teeth. They have been used with success for many years.

Professional tooth whitening in your Ft. Worth dentist’s office is the least invasive and quickest way to brighten your smile several shades. One of the most popular systems is called Zoom!.

If you are interested in any of these safe and effective procedures, schedule a consultation at Travis Walk Dental Care today. Even if you are still a bit hesitant, remember: discussing your options with a cosmetic dentist does not require a commitment of any kind. It is merely a relaxed way to get the most reliable information.

We are waiting for your call. Travis Walk Dental Care can be reached at 214-522-4330.

Creating Memorable Smiles at Travis Walk Dental Care A smile takes but a moment, but the memory of it lasts forever. You can make your smile memorable and beautiful with a smile makeover at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas.

Cosmetic dentistry is a broad term that specifies dentistry with an emphasis on aesthetics. The cosmetic dentists perform general dental procedures in addition to providing advanced cosmetic dental treatments. Dallas cosmetic dentists have specialized training in the latest cosmetic dental procedures and techniques.

Travis Walk Dental Care cosmetic dentists in Dallas are knowledgeable about the processes used to fabricate crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, braces and dental implants. Advances in ceramic and composite materials have boosted the popularity of Dallas cosmetic dentistry but these miracle materials are worthless without a skilled cosmetic dentist to incorporate them into a healthy and beautiful smile.

When designing a dental treatment plan for a Ft. Worth patient, the client’s goals and expectations are discussed. The most skillful cosmetic dentists consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. The Texas cosmetic dental client’s age, health condition and lifestyle also influence the plan.

If you want to learn about the possibilities for your smile, call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330. We have created memorable smiles for many of your friends and neighbors in the Dallas area.

Dallas Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Dallas Teeth Whitening and Veneers Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Dallas and throughout Texas.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local Dallas media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ‘22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local Dallas Texas patients, we recommend talking to Drs. Miranda and Lepard DDS at Travis Walk Dental Care. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is especially important to talk to a Dallas dental professional about worry free dentistry teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile. Many of your neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide on which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of Dallas veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.

Providing comprehensive dental care for Dallas families since 1991.

Don’t Settle For An Unattractive Smile In Dallas!

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Don’t Settle For An Unattractive Smile In Dallas! No one in Dallas likes to settle for less than the best, especially with something as important as your smile. Drs. Miranda and Lepard DDS at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas has the solutions for your smile problems.

You don’t have to live with crooked or chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are an affordable and non-invasive way to correct misshapen or damaged teeth that are otherwise structurally sound. If you have a tooth that is beyond repair, don’t despair. A dental implant may be the answer. Call 214-522-4330 for a tooth implant consultation in our local Dallas office.

You don’t have to watch your teeth become duller and more discolored every year, either. Whether you are young, older or somewhere in the middle, teeth whitening works wonders to perk up your smile.

The latest restorative and cosmetic dental procedures are performed right here at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas.

We have been practicing dentistry since 1991. We have noticed that our Dallas patients who receive dental makeovers have only one regret; they wish they would have done it sooner! Our clients with dazzling new smiles are surprised by how much confidence they gain. Because they love their smile, they smile more often.
