Sleep Apnea Treatment

Treating sleep apnea has never been more comfortable than with a custom oral appliance. Unlike a CPAP machine, oral appliances are silent and don’t have any tubes or wires. Explore how a convenient oral appliance can help prevent serious health consequences and support quality sleep.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option that supports jaw bone density and helps promote a lifetime of healthy smiles. We can replace any number of missing teeth with this safe, reliable technique. Discover the benefits of this transformational treatment for yourself.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Frequently Asked Questions

Cavities, also known as tooth decay, occur when bacteria buildup on your teeth and turn into plaque. If plaque isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar and the built-up bacteria will break down the minerals in your teeth, creating a cavity. There are a few ways you can prevent cavities, including:

  • Avoid sugary, sticky, or acidic food and beverages
  • Use products that contain fluoride
  • Consider dental sealants–most appropriate for children
  • Brush twice a day, floss daily, and rinse between meals
  • Avoid tobacco products

In addition to following the above-mentioned tips, make sure that you contact our office to schedule biannual checkups and professional cleanings by calling (972) 885-3335. During your appointments, we’ll be sure to thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to look for any signs of decay.

When it comes to good oral hygiene habits, starting at a young age is key to a lifetime of healthy smiles. You’ll need to offer physical guidance for your child until they develop the motor skills necessary to do it on their own.

While motivating your child to brush their teeth can be challenging, we suggest setting a good example by brushing your teeth together or making a game out of it. If that doesn’t work, be sure to ask our staff for recommendations and we’ll happily provide you with friendly tips.

Whether or not your tooth can be saved depends on various factors such as the amount of damage to the crown and root, as well as how quickly you seek help. Being treated immediately increases your likelihood of a successful reimplantation. In the meantime, you’ll want to:

  • Rinse the tooth so it’s free of debris
  • Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root
  • Place the tooth in a container with milk
  • Bite down on gauze to stop any bleeding

Contact our office at your earliest convenience by calling (972) 885-3335 and we’ll do our best to salvage your tooth. If your tooth can’t be reimplanted, we may recommend tooth replacement options such as a dental implant or bridge.

Biannual professional cleanings and checkups are a necessary preventative measure to ensure your teeth and gums are in the best possible health. During your professional cleaning, we’ll make sure to scrape off any plaque or tartar that builds up in hard-to-reach areas and provide you with friendly tips on ways you can improve your oral health routine.

During your checkups, we’ll take any necessary diagnostics tests and our dentists will examine your oral health to look for any areas that may be problematic. These appointments will help us catch any issues early on so you can avoid more complicated and expensive treatments down the road.

It’s common to not show any signs of gum disease or tooth decay early on– however, if these problems are left untreated, they can have a serious impact on your oral health. With x-rays and examinations, our dentists can typically detect a cavity before you develop any symptoms.
