Versatile Veneers for a Vivid Smile

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

Affordable Cosmetic Dentistry in Dallas Have you ever wished you could quickly attach perfectly shaped, dazzling white front surfaces to your teeth? Guess what? You can! With porcelain veneers, you can eliminate smile imperfections in just one visit to your Dallas cosmetic dental office.

The porcelain veneer is one of the most versatile items in a Dallas cosmetic dentist’s toolbox. Porcelain veneers turn unattractive smiles into perfect smiles with minimal disruption to existing tooth structure. They are quicker and usually less expensive than complete dental crowns but are made with the same strong, translucent porcelain.

It’s no that wonder that a very large percentage of people in the public eye have porcelain veneers. A Texas actress can receive a perfect smile in the morning and appear on a talk show that evening. A supermodel can permanently remedy a discolored tooth and pose for photos right after leaving her the metroplex dental office. A Dallas television news anchorman can have his teeth perfectly aligned in a couple hours and report Texas news that same day.

I am Dr. Miranda of Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas, Texas. I use veneers alone and in combination with crowns, inlays, onlays, and tooth implants for dramatic smile makeovers. Perhaps porcelain veneers are the best route to your perfect smile.

Dental Crowns at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Dental Crowns at Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas Dental crowns have been used in dentistry for over 2000 years. There is evidence that the Etruscans experimented with crowns on teeth using ivory and bone as early as 700 B.C. By 200 A.D., they began using gold crowns to construct artificial teeth. Ancient Egyptians fashioned tooth replacements out of seashells and then hammered them into their gums (Oral sedation, anyone?).

Porcelain crowns were first used in the 1800s. With the refining of metal casting methods in the 1900s, crown dentistry advanced significantly.

Today, crowns are strong, comfortable and are made to match your surrounding teeth.

Dental crowns (also called caps) cover the entire visible portion of the tooth and are cemented in place. Crowns are used to strengthen teeth that have been worn down or weakened by decay or injury. Crowns are also used to restore the original shape of a tooth or solely to improve the appearance of a tooth.

The most common types of crowns are:

  • All-porcelain (ceramic)
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal
  • Gold

The material used is determined by several factors. If you suspect you need a crown, want to replace an old crown, or want to learn about other cosmetic dentistry procedures, call dentist Drs. Miranda and Lepard at 214-522-4330. Travis Walk Dental Care is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX in Dallas. We have been serving clients in the Dallas area since 1991.
