Do you worry about eating in public? Is it nerve-wracking to think of chewing proteins, vegetables, or crunchy fruits? Do you laugh and smile with your mouth closed for fear of losing your dentures? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it’s time to consider replacing those cumbersome and unreliable dentures with dental implants.

Though dental implants aren’t magic, the thousands of satisfied patients of Houston’s Smile Texas might indeed identify them as possessing certain magical qualities. Loose or improperly fitted dentures compromise every facet of your day-to-day activities – what and when you eat, if you choose to speak up, whether or not you allow yourself to enjoy a hearty chuckle. One of the greatest advantages of dental implants is their security. Not only does the placed dental implant stimulate and preserve bone structure in the mouth, it maintains its hold. That means zero worries for you about blowing out birthday candles, whistling, or laughing loudly and proudly with your mouth wide open.

The cosmetic dentists at Houston’s Smile Texas are able to design and build each patient a new smile that looks natural, is aesthetically pleasing, and complements an individual’s face shape. In the past, cosmetic dental work used to be as obvious as a face lift, but with today’s technology and the artistry of the experts at Smile Texas, that’s no longer the case. In fact, dental implants are one of the best ways to develop a customized, permanent, and natural-looking smile.

If you have gum disease, broken teeth, or unreliable dentures that just refuse to stay in place, the last thing you’re likely to do is eat corn on the cob, chomp into crunchy fruits or vegetables, or chew on a delicious steak. People with lingering dental issues tend to stick to foods (often less-nutritious options) that are gentle on their teeth, like carbs and starches. These soft foods can be easily chewed – but at what cost to your health?

Dental implants are a life-changing choice that can change your eating habits for the better. With dental implants, you can once again eat whatever you want, without worrying for even one moment about what affect a hearty meal might have on your teeth.

At Houston’s Smile Texas, cosmetic dentist Dr. Rick Kline designs and places dental implants for patients of all ages who are dealing with a wide range of dental problems. Implant dentistry can be done on both the upper and lower jaw – and for current denture-wearers, this means the elimination of a covered palette.

Bite problems are often the culprit behind a frown. And the side effects of a bad bite can include chipped teeth, headaches, clenching, short teeth, grinding, TMD, and TMJ. The last thing you want is a worn-out smile – and that can easily occur if your bite remains uncomfortable and poorly supported.

The cosmetic dentists at Houston’s Smile Texas work with patients from all over the world who are suffering with bite issues. Through the use of porcelain veneers, all porcelain crowns, and diode laser gum correction, Courtney got the painless – and beautiful – smile she wanted in a two-visit smile makeover. She was even fitted with a night guard to protect her teeth, jaws, and joints to keep that grin in top condition and avoid any further discomfort.

Vienna had similar problems, but she was also unhappy with the look of her smile; she particularly felt that her teeth were dark and too small. Though Vienna’s solutions required a little more time than Courtney’s, the Smile Texas cosmetic dentists used advanced scanning tools to determine her relaxed jaw muscle position and used that information – along with veneers and crowns – to create a stunning, pain-free smile.

Don’t endure mouth pain any longer – a solution can certainly be found to match your needs at Smile Texas.

If you’re tight-lipped across the desk from your potential new boss, that may leave them wondering what you could be hiding. For you, that small smirk instead of a broad smile is nothing more than a method to keep your less-than-stellar teeth under wraps. For an employer, it’s a red flag.

How you present yourself in an interview is an “unsaid” element of the job application, particularly if you’re hoping to work in a field like sales, communications, marketing… anywhere that gets you up-close-and-personal with clients, customers, and colleagues on a daily basis. You need a smile that you’re proud of to help you carry out any business dealings with poise and confidence.

A smile makeover is possible in two visits to the cosmetic dentists at Houston’s Smile Texas. Whether you have missing teeth, stained teeth, gaps, a gummy smile, short teeth, or just a worn-out smile, procedures like dental implants, porcelain crowns and bridges, and porcelain veneers can change your look dramatically.

Tweaking your smile is like adding a higher degree to your resume. You’ll feel better, wiser, and more capable – and you’ll know you’re worth hiring. In response, your interviewer will sense your confidence emanating from that stunning grin of yours.

Vampires may be all the rage in today’s pop culture – particularly with this week’s opening of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” – but people who naturally have extra-pointy eye teeth aren’t necessarily in love with the idea of fangs. Likewise, individuals with short teeth are just as likely to cover up their smiles.

Whether you feel your teeth are too long, too short, or just don’t do you any favors, a smile makeover is only a visit or two away at Smile Texas.

Porcelain veneers are a popular method of reshaping a smile. Veneers give you that natural, even look that will make people remember your gleaming grin and take a second glance (even if you’re not Edward Cullen, Alice Cullen, Eric Northman, or otherwise!).

If you keep your teeth clamped together to avoid giving anyone the slightest glimpse of whatever you have hiding behind those lips, remember that this action can lead to problems too. The good news is that the cosmetic dentists in Houston’s Smile Texas – along with revolutionizing misshapen teeth – can help patients with bite problems, clenching, and grinding as well.

See some of the amazing transformations that have been created in just a handful of visits to Smile Texas. Make your appointment. Smile easily. And get a sharp smile – only figuratively – that will leave you feeling immortal.

Sunday is Father’s Day and meaningful gestures are remembered. The gift of a new and improved smile will indeed have longevity and remind Dad that his health is super-important to the people who love him. (And if you’re a dad who’s looking for a way to treat himself, consider a smile makeover – it’ll go much further than any round of golf or a power tool!)

The most typical dad gifts don’t hold a candle to a smile makeover. Dads have long been recipients of new neckwear, but if a man doesn’t feel confident about his smile, that tie isn’t going to be quite enough to enhance his business dealings and social meetings. Porcelain veneers, dental implants, or full-mouth restoration will get Dad noticed for all the right reasons. If a grill is on your gift-giving list, consider this: Moms might love it when dads take over the cooking, but men who are dealing with missing teeth, worn teeth, or old fillings and bonds can have a tough time enjoying that hearty steak.

Dad wants to look and be his best in every facet of his life. Gift him with a new smile for Father’s Day or just because. Or, if you’re a dad yourself, consider a visit to the cosmetic dentists at Houston’s Smile Texas.

While a less-than-stellar smile doesn’t enhance your looks, it’s not necessarily a deal breaker when it comes to meeting, greeting, and dating. What is a deal breaker in any relationship, however, is lack of confidence. And if you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, you’re going to give off uncomfortable vibes… and that can make you unattractive to others.

The Houston cosmetic dentists at Smile Texas offer smile makeovers for everything from stained teeth to crooked teeth, a gummy smile to short teeth, a worn-out smile to missing teeth. Whatever makes you unhappy about your grin, the Smile Texas team has the solution – dental implants and porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns and bridges are specialties of these cosmetic dentists. And if you’re a little wary of dental procedures, there’s a solution for that as well – sedation dentistry.

Shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette make the search for love entertaining – but everyone always looks so squeaky-clean too. Well, you can have pearly, perfect whites like these pseudo-celebs in a matter of days and improve your self-image – and your love life.

Celebrities like Katie Couric and Miley Cyrus have very noticeable gummy smiles – but they smile large anyway. This distinctive feature is almost like a trademark. Then there are celebs like Nicole Kidman who tend to have a tight-lipped pose… maybe it’s because of her gummy smile, maybe it’s because her publicist told her to look that way.

Nevertheless, whether you’re in front of the camera all the time or not, if you’re tentative about your own smile, you may be wishing for the fix that will give you the smile corrections you desire and have you grinning confidently in every photo and social encounter.

Being self-conscious about smiling can alter your appearance in negative ways – you may grimace or smirk, making you seem like you’re less than enthusiastic about something when really you’re just trying to hide your gums.

If a gummy smile is preventing you from smiling the big, toothy grin that you feel, the Houston cosmetic dentists at SmileTexas can makeover your smile in as little as two visits. Using techniques such as diode laser gum correction, porcelain veneers, and porcelain crowns, the SmileTexas experts will create a vibrant, symmetrical smile makeover that will have you beaming with pride.
