Cosmetic Dentistry: Crowns and Veneers Can Change a Smile!

Oftentimes, minor tooth correction can enhance a smile immensely. In this case, the patient had composite fillings, also known as bonding. This bonding was done many years prior, and it had discolored considerably. We advised the patient of her options, and she chose ceramic crowns. With ceramic crowns, she was be able to whiten these teeth and enhance the shape of them. We were able to accomplish that through anesthetizing the teeth, removing the older bonding material, refining the teeth, and taking impressions. As a result, we were able to provide the patient with nicer ceramic crowns to replace the

Finding the Best Dentist and Highest-Rated Dentist in Dallas

Many patients search online for the best dentist they can find. This does make sense. There is a wealth of information on the Internet. For instance, there are many sites which rank or rate dentists. These can be very helpful and valid. I do have several points I can make, to assist you with finding the best or highest ranked dentist. First, I would look at multiple websites. This gives you a better idea of the dentists and how they rank across multiple sources. It seems this is a great way to find those dentists who are consistently ranked higher.

Cosmetic Dentistry with a Smile Makeover: By An Award-Winning North Dallas Dentist

Many people want to enhance their image and their appearance. One of the ways this may be accomplished is with cosmetic dentistry. There are multiple ways cosmetic dentistry can be accomplished. It can be done by whitening teeth, by reshaping teeth, through orthodontic treatment, with dental bonding, or with porcelain veneers and crowns. In this case, excess gum was removed, and crowns were meticulously created to achieve an aesthetic and long-term functional result. There are many dentists who provide this service; however, you want to make sure a reputable dentist cares for your teeth. You have one set of teeth.

Managed Dental Care: Lower Fees

Many consider spending less money a wonderful thing. Spending less money on dental services sounds great! This is exactly what managed dental care plans attempt to do. To reduce fees, managed dental care plans enter into a contract relationship with dentists. Part of this contract is a mandatory fee schedule. These fees may be reduced up to 50%. This sounds great, right? With the cost of business of a dental office being on average 50-65% of the fees collected, this fee reduction can be devastating. How do these dentists make this fee reduction work? One way is to do more

Choosing a Dentist: An Updated Perspective

Many patients find themselves in a situation of choosing a dentist. They may have moved into a new community. Perhaps these patients changed their insurance plan or employer. Having to choose a dentist is not a unique situation these days. This is indeed an important decision. Most all patients have only one set of adult teeth. It makes sense to choose a dentist who can be trusted with your teeth. So, why is there a need for an updated perspective on choosing a dentist? There is a need for an updated perspective on choosing a dentist because of the changes

Insurance Plan Dentists: Choosing a Dentist

Many patients look for a dentist on their insurance plan. Patients are looking to decrease their out-of-pocket expenses. This makes sense. However, when you are choosing a dental office with a “cute” name, are you truly choosing a dentist, or are you choosing a retail or corporate entity? What does it matter? The delivery of dental care has changed immensely over the past 30 years in which I have practiced dentistry. There used to be a time when a dentist would put his/her name on a “shingle,” an old-school saying, and hang it over or near their door. There was

Need a Dentist in the North Dallas, Plano, Carrollton Area?

  Choosing a dentist now is so much different than it used to be. Understandably, many things have changed over the past thirty years. Some of the changes are good, some of the changes are bad, and some of the changes are confusing. I intend to diminish some of the confusion with choosing a dentist. First of all, many people select their dentist based upon a list of “preferred providers” from their employer. These dentists and dental offices accept a lower fee for their services in exchange for having their practices marketed by employers. This may sound great, but there
