Sedation dentistry could also be called “no excuses” dentistry – meaning, your fear of sitting in a dentist’s chair, watching him work on your teeth, no longer has solid footing. Sedation dentistry is designed to put your mind at ease.
Sedation dentistry offers you the ability to “sleep” through your chosen dental procedures, whether you’re undergoing treatment that involves dental implants, porcelain veneers, or porcelain crowns and bridges. (more…)

The New Year brings an increase in gym memberships. We say, invest in yourself with a smile makeover that will truly make you feel like the best version of yourself.
New Year’s resolutions typically have a very short lifespan. Statistics show that about 80 percent of people who make resolutions don’t even make it through the end of January before giving up on the goals they’ve set. That means a lot of wasted new gym memberships, and a lot of unhappy people feeling unaccomplished. (more…)
Plastic surgery is costly and often involves a painful, lengthy recovery. There are easier ways to rejuvenate your face, starting with a smile makeover.
A very noticeable “face lift” benefit of your smile makeover is the lengthening of your back teeth and expansion of your bite. People who have ground down or lost their back teeth often have a caved in look to their face. The “dental face lift” rebuilds the bite and restores a more youthful, full facial appearance. It can even make your lips and cheeks appear younger, fuller, and healthier because they are better supported by your teeth. Your look is improved from every angle! (more…)

The holidays should make you smile… if they don’t, then it might be because you’re hiding something behind those tightly closed lips, like less-than-perfect teeth that you are ashamed for others to see.
If you’re having a family photo taken for your holiday greeting card or annual family group shot, will you be seen with a big smile?

We often mention that our smile makeovers include diode laser gum correction. If you’ve ever wondered what this method actually entails, here’s an explanation.
Your smile’s appearance is influenced not just by the look of your teeth, but also the look of your gums. Some patients have gums that extend too far over the tops of their teeth, creating that “gummy” smile and making the teeth appear small. Alternately, if your teeth are in fact too short for your face, reducing the amount of gum tissue can make the teeth appear longer and more cosmetically pleasing. Either way, we use diode laser gum correction to make your smile beautiful and healthy. (more…)
Competing in a beauty pageant? A perfect smile is as much of a requirement as the gowns, hairspray, lipstick, and poise.
If you’re looking for one truly impactful way to enhance your natural beauty, a smile makeover is it. There are even perks to a smile makeover that go beyond the obvious. When your bite is properly aligned, your smile will be better supported – this, in turn, can help give you a more youthful look. Who doesn’t want that, beauty queen or not? (more…)
Twilight. True Blood. The Vampire Diaries. The vampire rage shows no sign of dying down anytime soon – and neither does the wish of some people to have their own set of fangs.
Unless you exhibit some fairly obvious signs of vampirism, we won’t be creating any smile makeovers with pointy incisors – but what we do create at Smile Texas is a natural-looking smile that complements your face shape. While we can’t freeze your age like those eternally young vampires, your smile makeover could make you look a few years younger than you actually are by better supporting your features. (more…)
