Fighing Bad Breath and Removing Tooth Stains

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Mid-cities Cosmetic Dentistry

Did you remember that brushing and flossing fights bad breath and removes stains?

If you have persistent stains that brushing can’t remove, come in for teeth whitening at Travis Walk Dental Care for a dazzling stain free smile.

The American Dental Association recommends two minutes as a minimum time for brushing. Most folks think they brush that long but would be surprised if they actually set a timer. Most of us only brush for about a minute, if that.

I am Dr. Miranda of Travis Walk Dental Care. In my office, we practice preventative dentistry by working with our patients to establish essential oral hygiene habits.

If you are looking for a dentist in Dallas, I invite you to come meet my classy and technologically advanced team.

Our address is 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX. We offer general and restorative dentistry, including dental implants and dental crowns.

And here’s a quick cold-fighting tip for my Dallas clients; get a new toothbrush when you catch a cold. A toothbrush teeming with germs can re-infect you!

Beware Of Hidden Sugar

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

preventative dentistry in Mid-cities We advise our Dallas cosmetic dental clients at Travis Walk Dental Care to watch their sugar intake to prevent cavities and other health problems such as gum disease.

If you are trying to unsweeten your diet, you are probably skipping the usual suspects: candy, soda, and baked treats. But not all sugar is as obvious as the frosting on a piece of chocolate cake or the powdery stuff in pixie stix.

Here are some foods found in Dallas grocery stores and the metroplex school cafeterias with a surprisingly high sugar content:

  • Ketchup
  • Low Fat versions of snack foods (Manufacturers often replace fat with sugar.)
  • Salad Dressing
  • Breads, buns, rolls
  • Spaghetti Sauce
  • Protein Bars
  • Granola
  • Canned soup
  • Peanut Butter
  • Yogurt
  • Fast food meals (Hamburgers, fries, sandwiches, and salads are often loaded with sugar, not to mention the dessert items.)
  • Antacids
  • Cough drops
  • Fruit smoothies (Even a small serving has a whopping amount of sugar.)

Reading the fine print on labels is a must. The following terms are all types of sugar:

raw sugar, cane sugar, glucose, lactose, galactose, fructose, dextrose, honey, sorghum, molasses, cane sugar, confectioner’s sugar, crystallized cane juice, invert sugar, maltodextrin (or dextrin), maple syrup, concentrated fruit juices, evaporated cane juice (what kind of cane do you think we are talking about?)

Do the math: when shopping at Dallas markets or health food stores, carefully decipher food labels before you buy. Four grams of sugar equals one teaspoon. Add up all the grams of every type of sugar listed and divide by four to truly understand how much sugar an item contains.

At Travis Walk Dental Care, we advocate and practice preventative care for lifelong dental health. For more information on how your diet affects your dental health, contact us at 214-522-4330.  Ask about our cosmetic dentistry services such as dental implants and teeth whitening.

We are located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX.

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.

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Affordable Dallas Tooth Bleaching At Travis Walk Dental Care, we are all about success. Drs. Miranda and Lepard’s experience, ability, and commitment to dental excellence result in successful outcomes daily for our cosmetic dentistry clients. Each team member at Travis Walk Dental Care shares Dr. Miranda and Lepard’s passion for success.

For many Dallas dental patients, success is a routine check-up that reveals healthy teeth and no cavities. For our cosmetic dental clients, success is a stunning smile makeover using veneers, teeth whitening and tooth-colored fillings. For our Dallas patients with a missing tooth, dental implants are used to successfully restore their smile. It is exciting to see implant recipients smile for the first time after receiving their new dental implant.

We also enjoy completing successful tooth-straightening procedures for youth and adults. Though these transformations take longer than one-visit smile re-designs, the results are no less incredible. In fact, our Dallas orthodontic patients probably appreciate their straight teeth and beautiful smile more than any of our other patients.

Success sometimes means removing tetracycline stains for a Dallas teeth bleaching patient who has been hiding his/her smile for years. Sometimes, success is as simple as helping a nervous patient feel relaxed and comfortable during their visit to our Dallas family dental office with sedation dentistry.

What do you desire for your smile? At Travis Walk Dental Care, our success depends on your complete smile satisfaction.

To meet our team and discuss your smile specifics, call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330.

Find A Dallas Dentist

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

There are a lot of places to look for a dentist, but its not always easy to find a cosmetic dentist in Dallas.

It used to be that in Dallas you could find a cosmetic dentist just by walking down to the corner of the street. Like many small towns, there would be a dentist on the corner of ‘north and main’, just up from the fire house, and across from the bakery.

Today, finding a cosmetic dentist around Dallas can take a little more time, and a little more effort. Our local Dallas community is spread out a little more, and there is more than one option for finding a local dentist in Dallas.

Let’s look at a few of the ways to find a local cosmetic dentist in Dallas:

The old timers among us still reach for the yellow pages when we look to find a dentist in our local Dallas community. The yellow pages have been a standard for dentists since the beginning, and are a quick way to get a good list of local Dallas dentists.

Studies are showing an ever increasing number of Dallas consumers are turning to their Internet connection to find a cosmetic dentist. To find a cosmetic dentist online can mean more than just a name and a phone number; many dentists, like us, have additional information on their website that will help you gain a better understanding of their practice and the services they provide.

Many people find a dentist in the Dallas community through printed mailers and flyers that come to your door. Dallas cosmetic dentists spend a lot of money on these types of flyers, which can often carry a discount opportunity or special promotion.

The most popular method used to find a local cosmetic dentist? …Word of mouth. Studies have shown that people in Dallas are more willing to listen to a family member or close friend when it comes to finding a local Dallas dentist.

We understand this last point, and make it our job to keep our patients happy, healthy, informed and comfortable during their visit to the dentist. We know if you leave happy, your friends and family in the Dallas area will hear about us, too.

If you are looking for a dentist in Dallas, please give us a call. You can reach us at 214-522-4330.

If you know a friend who is trying to find a dentist in the Dallas area, please pass our name along.

We look forward to seeing you both!  We provide many cosmetic dentistry services such as dental implants and teeth whitening.

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in Dallas

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in DallasVeneers have myriad applications in Dallas cosmetic dentistry. With veneers, you can transform your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Is your tooth enamel worn and thin? Tooth-colored porcelain veneers have the translucency of healthy tooth enamel. Many Dallas dental clients have received veneers to cover worn enamel. Some believe they look twenty years younger!

Have your teeth developed uneven edges? Tooth grinding, natural wear and other factors can roughen tooth edges. Veneers are a minimally invasive correction for uneven tooth edges. Veneers are a popular treatment for the metroplex cosmetic dentistry patients.

Do you have chips or cracks in your teeth? If your teeth are otherwise healthy, porcelain veneers provide a flawless tooth surface. Are your teeth yellow or gray? While teeth whitening can fix this problem, so can veneers. Veneers can be fabricated in any shade to perk up your smile while still blending naturally with your skin tones.

Porcelain veneers are paper-thin, tooth-shaped covers that are affixed to the front of teeth. Traditional veneers required the removal of a thin layer of tooth structure. Lumineers are applied to unaltered teeth.

Veneers are strong, natural looking and one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures in areas such as Mid-cities, Ft. Worth, and Dallas. Veneers are usually far less expensive than complete crowns, yet they are just as strong and beautiful.

Dallas aesthetic dentists love veneers because they correct a multitude of tooth problems. At Travis Walk Dental Care, we would be happy to show you what veneers can do for you. Travis Walk Dental Care is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, in Dallas, TX. We provide premium dental care for many of your friends and neighbors in the greater Dallas area. Our phone number is 214-522-4330.

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.
