COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Midlothian Cosmetic Dentistry Since 1994

Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry is one of the premier providers of cosmetic dentistry in South Dallas and the greater DFW area. From dental implants to handcrafted porcelain veneers, we have aesthetic solutions for every need, no matter what your smile has been through in the past. A smile makeover can help you enjoy healthier, beautiful teeth that are with you for years to come.

What’s Involved in a Smile Makeover?  

Each smile makeover is a unique experience that’s curated to the individual needs of the patient that we’re seeing. Perhaps you have several missing or damaged teeth, or need to enhance the healthy ones that you already have. Your customized smile makeover will involve a combination of therapeutic, restorative, and aesthetic options to help you achieve your desired results.  

You may want to consider one or a combination of several types of cosmetic dental treatments, including Porcelain Veneers, CEREC Crowns, Dental Implants, KOR Teeth Whitening, and Tooth Alignment Therapy.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

A smile makeover can be far more life changing than just changing what your teeth look like in the mirror. Full mouth rehabilitation and reconstruction takes several things into account, including:

• Occlusal irregularities of how the teeth bite together, impacting their function.
• Underlying soft tissue infections (like periodontal disease) that affect the gums and bone supporting your teeth.
• Function and movement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
• Concurrent medical or physical needs.
• Future goals or immediate priorities that need to be considered.

Beginning with eliminating active infection and disease, then transitioning into replacing missing teeth while addressing overall aesthetics allows us to design and create a healthy, beautiful smile that you’ll feel proud to wear each and every day. We want you to be able to speak clearly, eat comfortably, and smile confidently. That’s why each smile makeover with our Midlothian cosmetic and implant dentist is such a unique experience.

Feeling Nervous? We Can Help With That Too

Some of our patients prefer to have their smile makeover completed in the least number of appointments necessary. With our highly experienced, licensed sedation dentist you can. Our Midlothian aesthetic dentist has over 25 years of experience in dental sedation, providing a truly comfortable and curated experience for each of the patients entrusting us with their smiles.

We invite you to request an appointment to meet with our Midlothian aesthetic dentist to learn more about what treatment possibilities are available. We’ll provide you with a variety of options to choose from, helping you find the one that’s best for your lifestyle. Call now!

How to Maintain Your Teeth Whitening Results Over Time

To keep your smile bright after a teeth whitening treatment, follow these simple strategies:

1. Consistent Use of Whitening Trays
   After your initial treatment, continue using whitening trays with the gel for about 30 to 60 minutes, twice a day. This routine can extend the longevity of your whitening results.
2. Regular Touch-Ups
   Even after the main treatment phase ends, it's beneficial to occasionally use the gel and trays to give your teeth a quick touch-up. This helps keep your teeth looking their best without needing a full treatment.
3. Limit Staining Foods and Drinks
   Be mindful of consuming foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries. If you do indulge, try to brush your teeth soon after or at least rinse your mouth with water.
4. Maintain a Good Oral Hygiene Routine
   Regular brushing and flossing can prevent plaque buildup that can dull your teeth. Use a whitening toothpaste and follow up with a fluoridated mouthwash for optimal results.
5. Visit Your Dentist Regularly
   Scheduled cleanings and check-ups will not only keep your mouth healthy but also allow your dentist to assess and advise on maintaining your teeth's whiteness.

By incorporating these practices into your routine, you'll enjoy a radiant smile that lasts.

What is Involved in a Take-Home Teeth Whitening Treatment?

Take-home teeth whitening treatments are designed for those seeking a more affordable yet effective alternative to professional dental whitening. Here’s what you can expect from the process:

Customized Whitening Kits

These kits typically include:

• Personalized Trays: Clear trays are molded to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even application of the whitening gel.
• Professional-Grade Whitening Gel: This bleaching agent is more potent than over-the-counter options, allowing it to tackle tough stains effectively.

Treatment Duration

The process generally requires commitment for a few weeks:

• Time and Frequency: Users are advised to wear the trays with the gel for 30 to 60 minutes, twice daily.

Flexible and Convenient

• At-Home Comfort: One of the biggest benefits is convenience. You can complete the treatment on your schedule, fitting it seamlessly into your daily routine.

Lasting Results with Simple Maintenance

Even after achieving a brighter smile, maintenance can help prolong the results:

• Touch-Ups: Occasionally using the gel and trays again helps maintain that newfound brightness.

Take-home whitening treatments offer a balanced approach for achieving a whiter smile without the need for frequent dental office visits, all while ensuring superior results compared to store-bought kits.
