Tooth-Colored Fillings in Dallas

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Hello! Welcome to the Travis Walk Dental Care blog. If this your first visit, we hope you find useful information about our Dallas cosmetic dentistry practice. If you have read some of our previous articles, we are glad you checked back with us. We post new articles regularly.

My name is Dr. Jospeh Miranda, DDS. I have been practicing dentistry in Dallas since 1991. Travis Walk Dental Care is a full-service dental office located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, in Dallas, Texas. In addition to providing comprehensive examinations and deep cleanings for clients in the Dallas area, we perform all types of tooth restorations.

When a tooth has decay or has been damaged, a dental restoration is needed to ‘restore’ the tooth to its previous intact condition. A dental filling is one of the most common and well-known types of restorations. A dental filling is used to repair decayed or damaged tooth surfaces. Most people have a few fillings in their mouth.

If you have old silver amalgam fillings, we can replace them with nearly-invisible fillings tooth colored. These fillings are made out of a strong composite resin. Many of our cosmetic dentistry patients have replaced their old silver fillings with fillings matched to their teeth. You can improve your smile instantly and relatively inexpensively by getting rid of the ‘metal’.

Another reason some clients have had their old fillings replaced is because they are concerned about the possible heavy metal toxicity of the mercury in the silver.

If you would like to replace your amalgam fillings, call us at 214-522-4330 to schedule a consultation. We are currently accepting new patients and would be happy to show you around our Dallas cosmetic dental office and introduce you to our friendly team.

Smile – it increases your face value!

How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Dallas

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

If you are one of the many Dallas denture wearers, you know that they are not the ideal solution for missing teeth.

The problems with dentures include slipping, gum irritation, trouble eating and talking, bone loss, and inability to taste food due to a covered palate. Clearly, dentures do not feel and function like natural teeth.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help you avoid the need for dentures later in your life, but other factors can make dental replacements an inevitability.

The good news? Modern dental implant technology is making dentures a thing of the past.

At Travis Walk Dental Care we have information and expertise that can help bring hope to Dallas denture wearers through dental implant technology. There are a variety of effective denture/implant tooth configurations.

Call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330 to book an implant overdenture consultation with dentist Dr. Joseph Miranda. We can help you understand your options and can recommend options.

If you currently wear traditional dentures and are not happy with them, implant anchored dentures may dramatically change your life. Your chewing ability will be similar to that of natural teeth and you will be able to eat hard foods again. How about a thick T-bone at your favorite Dallas steakhouse? In addition to being able to enjoy your meal, you will avoid the embarrassment of having your dentures rattle around in your mouth in public.

Before you pay for another denture reline, ask your Dallas dentist about the possibility of dental implants. While tooth implants are a significant investment, the dental implant cost is very reasonable when you consider they can last a lifetime.

Attention Dallas denture wearers: there is life after dentures with tooth implants!

Come see us at Travis Walk Dental Care at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX in Dallas, 75205 for more information about dental implants.

Celebrity Smiles in Dallas

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Do they avoid coffee? Not likely. Every star-watching magazine is full of pictures of famous people holding Starbucks cups. Do they avoid tobacco? Some probably do, but many actors and fashion models with dazzling white smiles are smokers.

Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Joseph Miranda at Travis Walk Dental Care has as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. Mirand has been providing smile makeovers for Dallas and Ft. Worth dental clients since 1991. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Travis Walk Dental Care. Schedule a Dallas cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 214-522-4330. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

(Note that the celebrities pictured above are not affiliated with our site; they just have great smiles!)

Dallas Dentists And Your Mouth Sores

Friday, February 12th, 2010

As your local Dallas dentist, one of my roles is to help you take care of your mouth. Sometimes mouth sores can be an issue, and while Dallas dentists often defer to an oral surgeon for extreme cases, we can help you make an assessment.

If you live in the Dallas area and have a mouth sore that lasts more than a week or two; come and see me. Mouth sores can be an indicator of disease, and an early assessment is the best bet. A better understanding of your mouth sores can lead quickly to comfort and a resolution. If necessary, treatment and pain relief can be offered.

There are two common types of mouth sores that are common in the Dallas area; canker sores and cold sores.

Canker sores are small ulcer-like sores with a white or gray base and a red border. They are found on the inside of the mouth and while they are not contagious, they can be painful. Typically a canker sore heals in a week or two. Antimicrobal mouth-rinses, over-the-counter topical anesthetics, and avoiding spicy and acidic foods may offer you temporary relief while your sore is healing.

The cause of a canker sores is not certain. Possible explanations range from a cut on the inside the mouth, and reactions to extreme temperatures or acids from food or drink, to fatigue, stress, and allergies. Some studies point to bacteria or viruses, or a combination of all these factors.

Cold sores, also called fever blisters or Herpes Simplex, are groups of fluid-filled blisters that often appear around the lips, sometimes appearing under the nose or around the chin. Cold sores are contagious and painful, but usually heal in about a week. Some over-the-counter anesthetics may provide relief. There are some antiviral drugs on the market that have shown promise in reducing outbreaks, but there is currently no known cure. The initial infection, known as primary herpes, often occurs before adulthood. Once the virus infects you, it may stay in your body and remain inactive or cause occasional cold sore outbreaks. Outbreaks may be triggered by a fever, sunburn, skin abrasions, stress, or exposure to extremes in temperature.

As your Dallas dentist, I can’t do much to stop canker sores or cold sores in your mouth. I can discuss the health of your mouth, and examine any causes that make your mouth sore. In some cases a change in the way you care for your mouth can reduce the chances of getting mouth sores. If you are in the Dallas, and would like to speak with a dental professional about mouth sores, area give us a call at Travis Walk Dental Care.

Our number is 214-522-4330.

Bad Breath Is No Fun For Dallas Residents

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Imagine you are starting a new job in Dallas and meeting your new boss for the first time. Confidence is key to your success. As you reach out to shake the extended hand your broad confident smile exposes rows of pearly white teeth, yet when you open your mouth to exchange greetings you worry about bad breath. Perhaps your breath is not as a pleasant as you had hoped. Bad breath is a worry and possible embarrassment for many residents of Dallas, Texas, from ages 18 to 100. Regular dental checkups at Travis Walk Dental Care can help alleviate your concern over bad breath. We have been addressing bad breath since 1991.

The technical term for bad breath is halitosis. Many factors can cause or contribute to halitosis. One of these factors is the food you eat. Onions and garlic are both known for having a potent affect on your breath. Simply observing the foods you eat here in Dallas can result in a change in your breath.

In most cases, bad breath originates in your mouth. Transient bad breath can be resolved through eating or brushing, and is a temporary condition usually associated with a dry mouth. Persistent bad breath can be a serious problem effecting as much as 25 percent of our Dallas residents. Persistent bad breath can be caused by dry mouth, and is made worse when food is not cleared away properly.

Brushing and flossing daily is a critical step in curing bad breath. Food particles can build up in your mouth and foster bacteria which can cause bad breath. This not only includes the food particles that may get stuck between your teeth, but also the food that collects around your gums or on your tongue. Brushing and flossing daily can help reduce the amount of food particles that stay in your mouth and cause bad breath. Regular visits to Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas can also reduce or eliminate the progression of bad breath.

Other factors that can contribute to bad breath for Dallas residents include dry mouth, tobacco use, and health concerns such as infections. Come visit Travis Walk Dental Care located in Dallas, Texas; we’ll provide you with information about bad breath in a professional environment. Give us a call at 214-522-4330 to set up an appointment.
