			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste"><a href="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/SedationDentistry2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2803" title="SedationDentistry2" src="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/SedationDentistry2-185x122.jpg" alt="" width="185" height="122" /></a>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.</div>
<div>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.</div>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 (<a title="Porcelain Veneers" href="../porcelain-veneers.html" target="_self">using all-porcelain veneers and crowns</a>) and Total Smile Replacements (using <a title="Dental Implants" href="../dental-implants.html" target="_self">Dental Implants</a>).</p>
<p>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 <a title="Smile MakeOvers" href="../smile-makeovers.html" target="_self">Smile Makeovers</a> that range from the cosmetic to total smile replacement.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To learn more or see before and after samples of many of our amazing smile transformations please visit us on the Web at <a title="Smile Texas" href="http://www.smiletexas.com" target="_self">www.smiletexas.com</a>.</p>
<p>Smile Texas offers Complimentary Consultations to those calling 281.265.7645.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What are you going to do with your 366th day this leap year? Why not use these extra 24 hours to do something you’ve long been putting off and invest in a smile makeover.</p>
<p><a href="../../smile-makeovers.html"></a><a href="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/LeapYearsm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2871" title="LeapYearsm" src="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/LeapYearsm.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="224" /></a>Smile makeovers can be completed in as few as two visits to our office. Browse our <a href="../../smile-gallery.html#By_solution-2402">Smile Gallery</a> by “solution” and check the box beside “2-visit smile makeover” to see just how many of our featured patients have received dental solutions in a brief amount of time.<span id="more-2870"></span></p>
<p>We aren’t just fixing one tooth or placing one veneer in two visits – you can get a brand new smile in that short span because we make the most of your time in our office.</p>
<p>It’s understandable to have some fear about the dentist because you know you need a number of repairs, but even the most complicated of cases can be rectified in two visits. <a href="../../sedation-dentistry.html">Sedation dentistry</a> allows us to get those smiles started and finished in a short period of time. We are able to be very efficient when you opt for sedation dentistry – we can perform multiple dental procedures in one visit. Even better, you’re unlikely to remember a thing afterward – just wake up and admire your gorgeous new grin.</p>
<p>Time to take a giant leap into a bright, smiling future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mardi Gras comes early this year, so celebrate Fat Tuesday by indulging in your favorite fatty foods… then make sure you brush your teeth!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MardiGras.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2816" title="MardiGras" src="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MardiGras.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="297" /></a>Once all the reveling and King Cake eating has subsided, it’s time to take stock of your oral health. Are you always downing sticky drinks and caffeinated beverages and dark wines? Do you eat a ton of sweets and not many fruits and veggies?<span id="more-2809"></span></p>
<p>Good health begins in your mouth, where nourishment enters your system. It’s the gateway to the rest of your body.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, for people who are experiencing oral health problems – loose or painful teeth, <a href="../../category/smile-gallery/problem/missing-teeth">missing teeth</a>, uncomfortable dentures, a <a href="../../category/smile-gallery/problem/worn-out-smile">worn out smile</a>, and so on – they are more likely to eat poorly, which just exacerbates the problems. There are gaps in their diet because they don’t feel comfortable or safe eating crunchy foods so they stick to the softer fare. And soups and pasta alone just don’t equal a healthy diet.</p>
<p>We can help restore your smile to its natural, healthy state with a <a href="../../smile-makeovers.html">smile makeover</a>. You’ll look and feel so good about your grin that you will want to feed your body the right way – and you won’t feel the least bit nervous about what might happen to your teeth in the process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>February 9 is Toothache Day – the origin of this holiday remains a mystery, but there are theories.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Toothache2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2812" title="Toothache2" src="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Toothache2.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="297" /></a>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.<span id="more-2807"></span></p>
<p>Whether you’re recoiling in pain from cold foods or hot foods, whether your tooth is sensitive to the touch, the fact remains – you’re in pain and you need help! Don’t suffer with tooth pain. A simple cavity could lead to much worse, including the need for a root canal or even a pulled tooth.</p>
<p>If you’re afraid of going to the dentist because you do fear that your toothache pain is an indicator of something worse, don’t let it hold you back! At Smile Texas, it’s our goal to give you a healthy, beautiful, natural-looking smile. So even if you do need <a href="../../smile-makeovers.html">reconstructive work</a>, we can make it as painless as possible with <a href="../../sedation-dentistry.html">sedation dentistry</a>, and we have the tools and means to make whatever repairs necessary, be it <a href="../../dental-implants.html">dental implants</a> or dental bridges and <a href="../../porcelain-crowns-bridges.html">porcelain crowns</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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. <a href="../../sedation-dentistry.html">Sedation dentistry</a> is designed to put your mind at ease.</p>
<p><a href="../../sedation-dentistry.html"></a><a href="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/SedationDentistry2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2803" title="SedationDentistry2" src="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/SedationDentistry2.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="135" /></a>Sedation dentistry offers you the ability to “sleep” through your chosen dental procedures, whether you’re undergoing treatment that involves <a href="../../dental-implants.html">dental implants</a>, <a href="../../porcelain-veneers.html">porcelain veneers</a>, or <a href="../../porcelain-crowns-bridges.html">porcelain crowns and bridges</a>.<span id="more-2800"></span></p>
<p>This method is especially ideal for our high-anxiety patients who really need peace of mind and reassurance that they can literally wake up and see the finished <a href="../../smile-makeovers.html">smile makeover</a> they’ve long been dreaming about.</p>
<p>It’s not just anxious patients who benefit from sedation dentistry. Many of our Smile Texas patients are in need of multiple, complicated dental repairs – rather than visiting a traditional dentist and having these procedures dragged out over weeks, months, or even years, sedation dentistry allows us to complete a number of dental procedures at once, saving you time and energy.</p>
<p>Choose from the latest sedation techniques: oral-conscious sedation, IV sedation, or nitrous oxide. We even provide comfort items like pillows, blankets, or your favorite music. (Teddy bear available upon special request!)</p>
<p>Learn even more about the benefits of sedation dentistry by watching our <a href="../../smile-texas-video-files.html#1512">sedation dentistry video series</a>. Want even more proof of the advantages of this option? Hear endorsements of sedation dentistry directly from our patients themselves during their appearance on <a href="../../smile-texas-video-files.html#1492">Great Day Houston</a>.</p>

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.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Plastic surgery is costly and often involves a painful, lengthy  recovery. There are easier ways to rejuvenate your face, starting with a  <a href="../../smile-makeovers.html">smile makeover</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PlasticSurgery.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2779" title="Young brunette beauty with curls" src="http://www.smiletexas.com/_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PlasticSurgery.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>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!<span id="more-2778"></span></p>
<p>Another very noticeable benefit of your smile makeover is beautiful, white teeth. Our teeth naturally darken as we age and so the human eye associates darker or yellow teeth with age and white teeth with youth. Of course, with a smile makeover not only will your teeth be the right color they will also be beautifully shaped, straight, and in proportion to your face.</p>
<p>You truly go face first into this world – when you’re proud of your smile, you are more likely to take better care of the rest of your body. If you’re dissatisfied with your grin or suffering with an unhealthy mouth, you will be less motivated to take good care of yourself. Plastic surgery isn’t a quick fix – but a <a href="../../smile-makeovers.html">smile makeover</a> can be completed in as little as two visits to our office.</p>
