Cosmetic Dental Solutions in Dallas

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Cosmetic Dental Solutions in Dallas Dallas cosmetic dentists use dental crowns to solve a number of dental dilemmas. A dental crown is a strong, natural-looking permanent tooth restoration that covers the top of the damaged tooth.

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.

Give Me Some Air

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Air Abrasion Dentists How long have dentists been drilling teeth? Would you believe 9,000 years? In an ancient graveyard in Pakistan, archaeologists unearthed skulls containing teeth that had undergone drilling. The stone-age dentists removed decay using drills constructed of sharpened flint.

Though advanced dentistry would not be possible without drilling, the sound of a dental drill can make many Dallas patient’s hearts pound. However, there is another way your Dallas cosmetic dentists can remove decay. This technique is known as air abrasion or drill-less dentistry. An air abrasion instrument removes material by spraying tiny aluminum oxide particles onto the tooth. The particles work like a sandblaster spraying away the affected tooth structure.

The many advantages of air abrasion make it a popular procedure for Dallas dentists. Because air abrasion is usually pain free, the need for anesthesia is reduced. The air abrasion instrument does not create vibrations or pressure. Dallas cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that air abrasion instruments don’t produce that whiny drill sound that rings in your ears and makes your palms sweat. Because of this, air abrasion can be a less-frightening option for young the Dallas dentistry patients. Air abrasion is often quicker and more precise than traditional drilling, leaving more of the healthy tooth intact.

At Travis Walk Dental Care, we provide anxiety-free dentistry. If you would like to learn more about air abrasion, sedation dentistry, or dental implant cost, call us at 214-522-4330. We are located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX. The classy and technologically advanced staff at Travis Walk Dental Care is dedicated to your comfort and satisfaction.

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Dallas?

Friday, February 4th, 2011

Dazzling White Teeth in Dallas What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Dallas?

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Dallas. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Dallas dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some Mid-cities in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour with Zoom whitening.

Most Dallas cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many Ft. Worth and the metroplex clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Travis Walk Dental Care, we offer safe and effective teeth bleaching. Our Dallas cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at 214-522-4330.

Why You Need a Genuine Cosmetic Dentist

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Dallas Teeth Bleaching A Dallas cosmetic surgeon has specialized schooling in addition to the training a general surgeon completes. Likewise, true cosmetic dentists have completed rigorous courses in addition to dental school. Of course, many Dallas general dentists offer cosmetic dentistry treatment.

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 Is Laser Dentistry?

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Affordable Dallas Tooth Whitening The word ‘LASER’ is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser device emits a powerful, highly-concentrated beam of light. (Didn’t we all love the amazing laser weapons in ‘Star Wars?) Lasers are used in hundreds of applications in almost every Texas industry including communications, researching, manufacturing, entertainment and medicine.

Lasers are now used in some technologically-advanced Dallas dental practices on both hard (tooth) and soft (gum) tissue. Lasers allow Dallas cosmetic dentists a degree of precision that was previously impossible.

How does laser dentistry benefit our metroplex dental patients?

  • Fewer stitches (some surgical procedures require no sutures)
  • Shorter healing time
  • Decreased chance of infection
  • Less damage to surrounding tissue/bone
  • Increased patient comfort – anesthesia is often unnecessary

Ft. Worth dentists use lasers in crown lengthening, decay detection, bacteria removal in root canals, gum recontouring, biopsy, lesion removal, and tooth whitening.

If you are interested in any of these procedures, call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330. Drs. Miranda and Lepard has been providing unsurpassed general and cosmetic dentistry since 1991.

The latest dental technology is useless without the skill and experience necessary to deliver the best possible outcomes. Let us show you some photos of the results we routinely achieve at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas.
