Do You Love Your Smile?

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Dallas Cosmetic Dentistry The Dallas people 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 aesthetic dentist.

At Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas, Dr. Miranda DDS provides the state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We treat patients from 18 to 100. 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 Dallas 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 at 214-522-4330. 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 Dr. 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. Call Travis Walk Dental Care today at 214-522-4330 to schedule a smile design consultation.

Do Whitestrips Work?

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Do Whitestrips Work in Dallas? If you have visited the toothpaste aisle at your Dallas Wal-Mart, you have probably noticed dozens of products that claim to whiten your teeth. A few years ago, the only over-the-counter tooth whitening options in Dallas were whitening toothpastes and Crest Whitestrips. Now there is a wide variety of products at every drugstore counter in the Dallas area.

Whitening Rinses
Dallas whitening rinses are similar to mouthwashes. They kill bacteria, freshen breath and may help remove plaque. Whitening rinses, however, contain tooth-whitening ingredients not found in mouthwashes. Manufacturers advise taking a mouthful of the rinse and letting it slosh around on your teeth for one minute twice a day. Though this method is simple, many users never notice a lightening of their teeth. This is probably because the rinse does not touch your teeth long enough to truly whiten them.

Whitening Strips
The whitening strips you can buy in Dallas grocery stores have a couple of drawbacks. Though they contain a bleaching agent, it is much less potent than those used in Fort Worth dental offices. Another problem is that they do not whiten between teeth because the strips only touch the front surface. Though it is possible to remove stains, it can take months to see any whitening. By that point, you have probably spent more money than you would have if you’d have chosen the professional system at your Dallas tooth whitening dental clinic.

Teeth Whitening Gels
Whitening gels are painted onto teeth with a small brush. One problem with whitening gels is that they only stick to dry teeth. If any saliva gets on the teeth during treatment, the gel is more likely to slide off.

If you are serious about dramatically whitening your teeth, the safest, quickest, and most affordable system is at your Dallas dental office.  We offer Zoom whitening which will whitening your teeth in just one visit to our office.

Travis Walk Dental Care is located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX. Our phone number is 214-522-4330. You can find more information on our Dallas cosmetic dental website online at http://www.rusmiling.com/pages/about.htm.

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.

Is a Perfect Smile Possible In Dallas?

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

Mid-cities Cosmetic Dentistry Are you considering a smile makeover in the the metroplex area? Are you skeptical of promises of a ‘perfect smile’ a ‘celebrity smile’ or ‘a dazzling, youthful smile’? Let’s talk about the most popular Dallas cosmetic dental procedures and the results that can be expected.

Composite Veneers
The application of porcelain veneers at Travis Walk Dental Care can remedy a multitude of aesthetic dental problems and is often a better cosmetic dental solution for candidates in the the metroplex area than dental bonding. Veneers can correct tooth chips, tooth cracks, minor tooth misalignment, tooth discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size. Can a porcelain veneer create a perfect tooth? While a veneer cannot fix a decayed tooth, it can turn an unsightly tooth into an aesthetically perfect tooth.

Tooth Whitening
Dallas tooth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment that dramatically improves a smile. However, some Dallas tooth whitening dentists will guarantee fantastic results for any patient that desires a whiter smile. At Travis Walk Dental Care in Dallas we only recommend tooth whitening for clients that are good candidates for the process. If you have all-natural teeth that are dull or stained, tooth whitening will brighten your smile. If you have several crowns in the front of your mouth, or gums that have receded, conventional tooth-whitening may not improve your smile.

Call 214-522-4330 to schedule a tooth-whitening consultation.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a mouth full of metal fillings, you may be interested in tooth-colored fillings. To get an idea of how the inside of your mouth would look without metal, have someone without any fillings open their mouth. Do you remember when your mouth looked like that? Would you like to bring your smile back to its pre-filling appearance? It is possible with tooth-colored fillings at Travis Walk Dental Care.

These are just a few of the cosmetic dental solutions that create perfect smiles for our Dallas clients. You can see a complete list of our services at www.rusmiling.com.

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.

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Dallas

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Dallas

Tooth whitening has really taken off in Dallas. It has become a popular dental procedure and can provide excellent results if done properly.

There are a lot of options when it comes to tooth whitening. You can choose from a selection of over-the-counter options that you can get at your local pharmacy, or can go to a professional to get a complete tooth whitening solution.

It is a good idea to consult with your dentist before a tooth whitening, regardless of whether you choose to use an over-the-counter product. Your dentist will be able to help you understand the results you can expect, and can help recommend a product that will work for you.

There are many variables when it comes to tooth whitening. The color of your teeth at the beginning of your treatment will make a difference for your ending result. Different tooth whitening treatments will each produce a different result. Your Dallas dentist has experience with tooth coloration and the types of treatments available.

In many cases, your Dallas dentist will be able to provide you with a tooth whitening solution that you can take home with you. In some cases, your Dallas dentist may recommend a professional Zoom whitening treatment that is done at the dentist’s office.

Professional tooth whitening at your cosmetic dental office can produce dramatic results in a single treatment, and is often done over a few treatments.

Tooth whitening is less expensive than it was in the earlier days of tooth whitening technology. Today, tooth whitening treatments are very affordable, and don’t take the time they used to.

If you are interested in a tooth whitening consultation in the Dallas area, please call Travis Walk Dental Care and make an appointment to see me. We will be happy to give you a check up, assess your tooth color, and recommend tooth whitening treatments that may be right for you.

-Drs. Miranda and Lepard, dentist

What Does A Missing Tooth Say About You?

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Dallas Mini-Implants When you meet someone in Dallas who is missing a front tooth, what does that say to you? Do you wonder if they were in an accident? Do you automatically start making assumptions about their income, level of education and overall physical health?

Though it is extremely unfair, we are often judged (and misjudged) by our appearance. Even if a person is impeccably dressed and groomed, a missing front tooth detracts from the overall pleasing impression.

Here is a personal story from a woman who lost a tooth:

I lost my job and along with it my dental insurance, then a month later, one of my front teeth. It has been very hard to find work…. and I know the missing tooth has cost me several jobs.”

A missing tooth can be a big deal.

Dental implants not only restore oral health, they restore self-confidence. Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Studies have shown that after more than 20 years, the vast majority of dental implants placed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons continue to function at peak performance. If properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Dental implants are one of the procedures we routinely perform at Travis Walk Dental Care to help our Dallas clients regain the beautiful smile they once had. Not all cosmetic dental procedures are as extreme as teeth implants. There are many minimally-invasive remedies for unattractive smiles.

Porcelain veneers instantly provide a perfect, gleaming tooth surface for Dallas clients with broken or discolored teeth. Tooth whitening is a quick and affordable dentistry procedure in the metroplex that achieves dramatic results without requiring the removal of any tooth structure. Call Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330 for more information about smile design and restorative dentistry.

Questions To Ask Your Dallas Dentist

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Questions To Ask Your Dallas Dentist Sometimes we research our Dallas mechanic or the metroplex hairdresser more thoroughly than our Dallas dental professional. Shouldn’t your dental care be far more important than the condition of your car or the style of your hair? At Travis Walk Dental Care, we love to answer questions about your teeth. You should be asking your Texas dentist any question you have about the care and status of your teeth.

For instance, you may have questions about the school of dentistry and dental specialties studied. Though important, dentistry school is not the only place to gain dental experience. Drs. Miranda and Lepard have been performing complex Texas dental procedures since 1991.

You should also be asking about the dentistry specialties your metroplex dentist offers such as tooth restoration and Invisalign invisible braces. These services may not be important to you now, but it is a good idea to have an understanding of your options, and to know what your the metroplex dentist has to offer.

If you are contemplating smile restoration, tooth implants, or tooth whitening, evaluate the metroplex cosmetic dentistry options with your dentist. Look at before and after pictures, and ask your the metroplex dentist what procedures may be right for you.

General dentists offer a variety of the metroplex dental services such as tooth extractions and tooth fillings, and can treat every member of the family. At Travis Walk Dental Care, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, dental crowns and procelain veneers.

You have many choices for your Dallas family dentistry. We welcome questions about all aspects of our Travis Walk Dental Care practice. Visit us at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX in Dallas and talk to a member of our classy and technologically advanced team.
