However, many people seem to have a poor understanding of just how dangerous cavities can be for the health and stability of your smile. In order to avoid serious complications, we always urge treating decay with fillings for our Dallas, TX, patients.

With today’s highly lifelike restorative and prosthetic dental materials, replacing one or more lost teeth is simpler than ever, and the results are more lifelike than many patients expect. Those results are even more beneficial when modern bridges and dentures are coupled with an appropriate number of dental implant posts.

Fortunately, patients in Dallas, TX, can regain more than just their smiles’ appearance with the help of a custom-designed, implant-supported bridge or denture. (more…)

If your tooth develops decay or is chipped or broken, then treatment is needed. Otherwise, a host of complications can arise, including infection and tooth loss. Fortunately, we can return a tooth to optimal health, function, and beauty with a custom-made dental crown.
In the past, a dental filling was made using metal, such as gold or amalgam. While effective, they didn’t blend with the smile and could be problematic for those with metal allergies, as well as young children and pregnant women.
