How long should you go between your teeth cleanings and evaluations? To stay informed about your dental health, and to receive consistent protection against tartar and plaque formation, you should go in for care every six months. Falling out of this habit can lead to more oral health issues, and it can lead to those issues worsening to the point of demanding more involved restorative dental work. Our Rowlett, TX dentist’s office is ready to meet with you and provide preventive care. Remember that without your regular teeth cleanings, you will not be able to remove any tartar deposits that have gathered on your teeth! (more…)
What Makes Someone A Good Candidate For Teeth Whitening?
Is there a reason why some people choose to discuss teeth whitening with their dentist instead of picking up a whitening kit from their store, or trying out a whitening toothpaste? If you have already tried to use these products to brighten your smile, you can feel frustrated by a lack of noticeable improvements. Your Rowlett, TX dentist is able to help you see more improvements by arranging a professional teeth whitening treatment. We offer two approaches to treatment: For some, the option to take home an advanced whitening kit will be preferable, but others can be more interested in scheduling a procedure in the office. For both, we use effective bleaching agents that can remove stains that can remain when you try to whiten your teeth with over-the-counter products! (more…)
How Digital Technology Affects Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants provide a remarkable degree of support for prosthetic teeth. When implant placement is a part of a patient’s smile restoration, they can count on their dental restoration for biting and chewing support, they can feel more comfortable with its presence, and they can even prevent problems that often arise after tooth loss. Our Rowlett, TX dentist’s office uses advanced digital technology to determine the placement for implants. Effective placement impacts the stability that you enjoy from your appliance. Because we find the right angle and location digitally, we can avoid problems after treatment and even make the procedure itself less invasive! (more…)
Relying On Clear Aligners For Orthodontic Improvements
For some people, orthodontic treatment is an attractive treatment option because it can deliver meaningful smile improvements, but it can also be an intimidating one. Older teens and adults can feel self-conscious about wearing metal braces, which can dampen their enthusiasm for treatment even when malocclusion impacts both their oral health and appearance. When you discuss treatment at our Rowlett, TX dentist’s office, you can find out about the benefits of treatment with Invisalign aligners instead of metal braces. Both options are capable of addressing problems with teeth that overlap or have spaces between them. However, those who qualify for treatment with Invisalign can make these corrections while drawing less unwanted attention. Even if your dentist recommends metal braces, remember that this temporary treatment is capable of improving your smile and protecting you against potential oral health complications! (more…)
3 Benefits To Maintaining Better Oral Hygiene Efforts
