Food trap

Quick Tip:
     Do you have areas in your mouth where food traps between the teeth?  Take a piece of floss and tie a knot in the floss.  Once you position the floss between the teeth, gently pull the knot through the area and it will pull out any food trapped in the area.
      It’s very important to clean out these areas as soon as possible to the prevent a cavity or gum problems.   Have your dentist evaluate why food is catching in between the particular teeth.  It could be a loose filling, the tooth may have shifted or you may have a cavity.

Lengthening Short Teeth

Most people are not happy with their smile because of the color of the teeth.  The proportionate length and width of teeth, however, are just as important.  If you have white teeth but do not have proper symmetry of length and width matched to your face, that may be the limiting factor on how satisfied you are with your smile. 

The case shown below was recently completed in our office and is a wonderful example of how changing the proportions on teeth can make an unbelievable difference.

Please call today for a smile consultation if you’re unsatisfied with your smile.  817-292-5957

Tetracycline Stain and Worn Teeth from Grinding

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tetracyline is an antibiotic that was widely prescribed for pregnant women and children from the 1950’s through the late 1970’s.  One of the possible side effects was permanent staining of teeth.  In this case, presence of tetracycline staining and severe wear from teeth grinding led this patient to take action.

First, Teeth whitening was performed for a few weeks.  Then, six upper front teeth were prepared for porcelain veneers and temporaries were placed.  A couple of weeks later, the real porcelain veneers were bonded onto the teeth and the result was spectacular!  A Nightguard was also made for the patient to protect the veneers and teeth at nighttime, when most people tend to grind their teeth.

Porcelain veneers may provide a dramatic esthetic result, but more importantly, they can preserve worn, broken teeth and protect them from further damage.

Crowded and Crooked teeth even after braces?

After Just One Year With Invisalign !

After Just One Year With Invisalign !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many of us are in the same boat.  Our teeth have moved back to where they were before we had braces.  Teeth start to crowd and become crooked.  The teeth become harder to clean, the gums bleed easier and sometimes it’s hard to get floss between the teeth.  As teeth crowd and lose their side-by-side support, they can even “float” up…making the teeth appear even more uneven.

Or maybe you’ve never had braces but you’ve noticed your teeth becoming more and more crooked.  A bad bite can many times lead to damaging forces on the teeth, causing them to wear down abnormally and soon, teeth begin to chip and break.

What if there were a way to straighten them without metal or wires showing in about a year?  With Invisalign, it’s possible!  Please call us today for a free consultation.  817-292-5957.

Call before the end of May 2009 and receive free teeth whitening with each Invisalign treatment!
