Are You a White Knuckle Dental Patient?

Are you a white knuckle dental patient? Do you grip the dental chair with what resembles a clenched claw? Does your dentist appear to you in horns carrying a pitchfork? Do dental tools look like hammers, chisels and pliers? Relax! Smile Texas can help.
Most Dental Phobics are born from bad dental experiences in childhood. The string around the loose baby tooth and the door knob trick could be one bad experience. (Yes, you can blame your parents.) The old school dentist who told you “Oh, this won’t hurt” as he drilled a cavity is another. Or feeling like the dentist was about to put his foot on your chest to get leverage to pull a tooth with only local anesthesia is one more. If you are a Dental Phobic for any of these or any other reason, Relax! Smile Texas can help.

Now, you may be in a bit of a fix. Your fear of dental work has caused you to miss checkups and treatment for maybe many years. Now, you have an issue or are just unhappy with your Smile. Relax! Smile Texas can help.

Your experience with Smile Texas will be very different from those in your past. It begins with a consultation in a calm and soothing environment. Once treatment begins, Smile Texas offers a variety of Sedation Dentistry options. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation is available every day for most procedures and IV sedation is available twice a week for implants, extractions, and the extra nervous patient. In addition, Smile Texas provides comfort items like blankets, pillows and your favorite music on an IPOD. You can even bring your teddy bear. So, no fear. Relax! Smile Texas can help.

Experience Matters When Choosing A Cosmetic or Implant Dentist!

For over a decade Smile Texas has been one of the nation’s leading providers of cosmetic and implant dentistry.  Perhaps the single biggest reason is the extensive experience of our dentists in performing highly complex Smile Makeovers (using all-porcelain veneers and crowns) and Total Smile Replacements (using Dental Implants).

The dentists of Smile Texas have followed their passion for cosmetic and implant dentistry.  This has meant hundreds of hours of continuing education specific to cosmetic and implant dental procedures.  It has also meant building a support team with the skills to deliver this type of dentistry and selecting the best dental labs in the nation to create the restorations that make up that perfect smile.  This level of dedication has inspired the trust of visitors from around the World.  Now, after over a decade, Smile Texas has completed literally thousands of Smile Makeovers that range from the cosmetic to total smile replacement.

In most cases, guests of Smile Texas can have a cosmetic Smile Makeover completed in just a few office visits.  We offer an express service for our many out-of-town guests that completes treatment in under five days (just one visit!).   And every cosmetic Smile Makeover is backed by our Last Time You Pay policy.

For those people who are losing or have already lost their natural teeth to disease, accident or wear; Smile Texas offers the truly revolutionary solution known as Teeth By Tonight!™   In a single procedure, an entire upper and/or lower arch of teeth can be replaced using dental implants and beautiful new artificial teeth.  Our guest’s new smile is permanently attached and looks, feels and functions just like a healthy set of natural teeth.  Amazingly, there is minimal recovery time and biting and chewing function is immediately restored.  This procedure is a dramatic advancement over what used to take a year or more.  However, only a very few dentists in the nation are trained to do this breakthrough procedure.

To learn more or see before and after samples of many of our amazing smile transformations please visit us on the Web at www.smiletexas.com.

Smile Texas offers Complimentary Consultations to those calling 281.265.7645.

Celebrate Mardi Gras with a Smile

Mardi Gras comes early this year, so celebrate Fat Tuesday by indulging in your favorite fatty foods… then make sure you brush your teeth!

Nursing a Toothache?

February 9 is Toothache Day – the origin of this holiday remains a mystery, but there are theories.

Perhaps Toothache Day is February 9 because this date is also the feast day of St. Apollonia, the patroness of dentists. Perhaps it’s because the ninth day of the second month of the year is when the Hershey Corporation was officially founded. Whatever the origin of Toothache Day, it’s a good day to do something about that aching tooth – it could lead to more troublesome oral health. (more…)

A Closer Look at Sedation Dentistry

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…)

Be Your Own Personal Smile Trainer

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 vs. Cosmetic Dentistry

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…)
