What is a Canted Midline?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

San Diego Cosmetic DentistsDr. Joseph Miranda considers many factors when designing a smile for a Dallas smile makeover client. One of the smile design elements involved is the facial midline. The facial midline can be determined by drawing an imaginary line from the center of the eyebrows to the center of the two peaks in the top lip (Cupid’s bow).

The skilled Dallas cosmetic dentists consider the length and angle of the facial midline to properly position porcelain crowns, veneers and dental implants. When front teeth restorations do not line up with the facial midline, it is called a canted midline. This is a common mistake found in the cosmetic work of inexperienced cosmetic dentists.

Most dentistry patients do not realize the level of 3-D engineering required in cosmetic dentistry. In addition to the orientation in relation to the facial midline, there is also the angle and size of the teeth in relation to each other and in relation to the size and shape of the lips and gums.

If you are considering an extensive smile makeover, you do not want to trust your smile to an inexperienced cosmetic dentist. When you have a smile design consultation with Dr. Joseph Miranda feel free to ask probing questions about Dr. Miranda’s experience and technical design procedures. We are confident that you will feel comfortable choosing Dr. Miranda as your cosmetic dentist for your smile makeover.

Travis Walk Dental Care offers a full range of general and cosmetic dental procedures. Ask us about veneers, clear braces, tooth whitening and restorative dentistry. We look forward to meeting you.

Why Aren’t You Smiling?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Dallas Dentistry Hello, I’m Dr. Joseph Miranda DDS.  My cosmetic dental practice is called Travis Walk Dental Care. We are located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX. You can reach us by calling 214-522-4330.

You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the Dallas area. Whether I am working with a Mid-cities dental patient, having dinner at a the metroplex restaurant, or attending a Ft. Worth sporting event, I notice whether the people around me smile. Whenever I encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, I want to tell them about the procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.

Are you one of those people who don’t want to show their teeth? I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not seeking dental treatment, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.

Perhaps you are afraid of dental work. Have you ever considered oral conscious sedation? With sedation dentistry, even extensive treatment is virtually pain free. Sedation will calm your mind as well as the nerves in your mouth.

Perhaps the cost of Dallas cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My classy and technologically advanced staff will be happy to talk to you about financing plans. It is important to remember that if your teeth are decayed, postponing treatment will cost more money in the long run. Filling a cavity is far more affordable dentistry than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a dental implant.

You can contact my office at 214-522-4330 or online at http://www.rusmiling.com. My Dallas family dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.

I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!

Save Money With Dental Implants at Travis Walk Dental Care

Dallas Tooth Implants

Q: For Dallas residents: When is the least expensive tooth replacement method really the most expensive?

A: When it ends up costing far more in the long run.

Many Dallas dentistry clients who lose a tooth do not understand the importance of replacing it with a dental implant. They wrongly believe that one missing tooth is not a significant problem. In fact, some people who have an abscessed tooth extracted are so glad the pain is gone that they forget that the extraction is not the solution. When a tooth is lost, the risk of losing the adjacent teeth increases dramatically.

Dr. David Scharf, a Board Certified Periodontist and Dental Implant Surgeon and a Clinical Assistant Professor at New York University College of Dentistry says:

“Many times consumers will choose to replace a missing tooth with a removable partial denture because it is the least expensive option. In the long run however, removable partial dentures may be more costly due the loss of adjacent teeth and the need for future replacements. Many people opt to replace teeth with dental implants because they do not compromise the survival of the adjacent teeth.”

Dr. Scharf notes…

“With the price of gasoline and food soaring people try to cut back wherever they can. Unfortunately choosing the least expensive options for tooth replacement can have some very costly ramifications down the road.”

If you are missing a tooth, you may still be able to save the adjacent teeth if receive a dental implant soon. A dental implant bonds chemically with the jaw bone and helps maintain its stability.

To schedule a dental implant consultation, call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330. In addition to cosmetic dentistry, we provide comprehensive general dentistry for families in the Dallas, Texas area.

Advanced Dentistry in Dallas

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Advanced Dentistry in DallasThe world of dentistry continues to advance at a rapid pace. If you have visited a Dallas dentist in the past few years, you have probably noticed the things that make your visit more comfortable, such as the ability to watch TV or listen to music while receiving treatment.

The use of air abrasion has created the opportunity for drill-less dentistry for cosmetic and restorative dental patients. Drill-less dentistry requires no needles, no drill, and no numbness. Dental sedation is regularly used to help calm patients who feel anxious or nervous during dental treatments.

Many of the leading dental offices in the nation are beginning to use laser dentistry for more accurate cavity detection. Dental lasers are also used effectively for reshaping a damaged gum line and treating the affects of gum disease.

If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, call Travis Walk Dental Care to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, you can see before and after photos of some of our smile makeover clients. We would love to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted, and we have the tools, experience and technology to make that happen.

Do You Love Your Smile?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Dallas Cosmetic Dentistry The  people in Dallas who are most happy with their smiles have healthy, straight teeth that sparkle when they laugh. If nature didn’t bless you with attractive teeth, you are not alone. Most perfect smiles you come across in Dallas were not always that way. They are the result of cosmetic dentistry performed by an experienced Dallas cosmetic dentist.

At Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas, Dr. Joseph Miranda provides state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. You are never too young or too old to improve your smile; but it will definitely make you feel younger!

Two common smile-killers are yellow enamel and chipped teeth.

Discolored Teeth

Few people have pearly white smiles that stay that way forever. Even with consistent brushing, flossing and regular dental cleanings, our teeth darken as we age. Fortunately, the most affordable Dallas cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth whitening. Picture yourself with a celebrity-caliber smile. It is possible with safe and affordable teeth whitening at Travis Walk Dental Care.

Damaged Teeth

Our teeth work hard for us day after day, year after year. Sometimes they get chipped or cracked in the process. If you would like to fix your tooth flaws, schedule a consultation by calling Travis Walk Dental Care. We use porcelain veneers every day to remedy tooth trauma. Cosmetic bonding has been used with fabulous results for many years and bonding is usually a fraction of the price of a crown.

Ask Dentist Dr. Joseph Miranda which of our Dallas cosmetic dentistry procedures can be completed in one appointment. How about a same-day smile makeover?

If you have never been eager to show your teeth when you smile or laugh, now is the time to change that.

Live Better With Dental Implants in Dallas

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Dallas Implant Dentistry Ill-fitting dentures cause more problems for Dallas denture wearers than they solve. If you live with loose dentures, you probably regard them as a necessary evil. Though they certainly look better than a toothless mouth, in practical terms they leave much to be desired because they affect two essential activities: eating and talking.

Unfortunately, many frustrated the metroplex denture wearers have quit dining in restaurants or engaging in social activities because they are afraid their dentures will slip.

Dental implant procedures at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas are allowing former San Diego denture patients to re-engage in life.

Consider the advantages of implant anchored dentures:

  • They are stable because the implant is anchored in the bone.
  • Your denture is fixed, it will not move around in your mouth.
  • They prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are removed.
  • They eliminate the necessity of regular denture realignment.
  • They do not irritate gums.
  • No denture adhesive is required.

Our San Diego dental implant bone clients who have replaced their traditional dentures with implant overdentures enthusiastically say that the dental implant cost was more than worth it.

Do you want to eat normally again? What is the value of maintaining your facial shape? Can you put a price on confidence?

If you want more information about dental implants, call 214-522-4330 to schedule an implant tooth consultation with Drs. Miranda and Lepard. Travis Walk Dental Care is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX in Dallas. We have been providing advanced Dallas cosmetic dental care since 1991.

Love Your Smile in Dallas

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Love Your Smile in Dallas There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Dallas men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a the metroplex wedding, Mid-cities party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Ft. Worth tooth whitening can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Dallas cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Mid-cities whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Dallas tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Dallas tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Dallas tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching in Dallas is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Dallas Sedation Dentist Can Help

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Dallas Sedation Dentist Can Help If you live near Dallas and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.

Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Dallas at Travis Walk Dental Care. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Dallas for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous cosmetic and restorative dental clients in the the metroplex area.

Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, Dallas dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Dallas patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:

  • Teeth sensitivity;
  • Fear of needles;
  • A powerful gag reflex;
  • Difficulty controlling body movement;
  • Lengthy multi-procedure visits;
  • Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections.

If you need dental work more extensive than a filling; such as a root canal, tooth implant, crown replacement or wisdom tooth extraction; call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330. When you come to our office at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, in Dallas, TX, we can give you more information about sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is only one of the services we offer at Travis Walk Dental Care, where your smile is our top priority!
