We warmly welcome new patients and strive to create a comfortable and friendly environment for everyone we treat.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Enhancing the appearance of your smile is one of our top priorities. Our cosmetic dentistry services in La Porte, TX, are designed to address various dental concerns and help you achieve the smile you desire. We offer dental bonding, a procedure that uses tooth-colored material to repair chips, close gaps, and improve the shape and color of teeth.
Dental veneers are another popular option, consisting of tooth-like coverings that correct issues like stains, chips, and misalignment. Our teeth whitening treatments are effective in removing stains and brightening your smile. For those seeking a long-term solution for missing teeth, we provide dental implant placement. Additionally, we offer Invisalign®, a discreet orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using clear aligners.
Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution
If you have missing teeth and desire a durable and natural-looking solution, dental implants are an excellent option. Our skilled dentists can place dental implants, which act as artificial tooth roots. These implants are embedded into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth.
This innovative solution not only restores your smile but also enhances your oral health and functionality. With dental implants, you can regain the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, all while enjoying long-term durability and comfort. Say goodbye to removable dentures and embrace a permanent solution that seamlessly blends with your natural teeth.
Invisalign®: Discreet Orthodontic Treatment
For individuals seeking orthodontic treatment without the hassle of traditional braces, Invisalign® offers an ideal solution. Using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign® gradually shifts your teeth into proper alignment, resulting in a straight and beautiful smile.
During a consultation with our Invisalign®-trained doctor, a customized treatment plan will be created based on your specific needs. You will receive a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, gradually guiding your teeth into their desired positions. The aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to undergo treatment discreetly. Enjoy the convenience of removing the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing, while still achieving the stunning smile you desire.
Lumineers®: The Ultimate in Porcelain Veneers
Lumineers® are a popular option for transforming smiles with minimal preparation. These ultra-thin, contact lens-like veneers are crafted from proprietary porcelain material to mimic the natural anatomy of teeth. By preserving the original tooth structure, Lumineers® offer a conservative and minimally invasive approach to enhancing your smile.
Custom-designed and manufactured by the DenMat Lab in Lompoc, California, Lumineers® are placed individually over each tooth, providing a beautiful and natural-looking result. With Lumineers®, you can confidently smile and enjoy the benefits of a radiant and flawless appearance.
How Often Should I Go to the Dentist?
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. It is generally recommended to visit the dentist every 6 to 12 months. These routine visits allow the dentist to monitor your dental health, identify any early warning signs of dental problems, and provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
However, certain individuals may benefit from more frequent dental visits. Pregnant women, for example, experience hormonal changes that can increase the risk of gum disease and other oral health issues. Smokers are also prone to dental problems and may require more frequent check-ups to monitor their oral health.
Individuals with diabetes should be especially diligent about their dental care, as diabetes can contribute to gum disease and other oral complications. Similarly, individuals living with gum disease or those with a weakened immune response should schedule more frequent visits to manage their condition effectively.
If you have a history of cavities or plaque buildup, it is important to see your dentist more regularly to address these issues and prevent further dental damage.
Ultimately, the frequency of dental visits may vary depending on your specific oral health needs. Your dentist will evaluate your individual situation and recommend an appropriate schedule for check-ups and cleanings to ensure the long-term health of your teeth and gums. Remember, prevention and early detection are key to maintaining a healthy smile.
