How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Houston

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Houston If you are one of the many denture wearers in Houston, Spring, or Cypress TX, you know that they are not the ideal solution for missing teeth.

The problems with dentures include slipping, gum irritation, trouble eating and talking, bone loss, and inability to taste food due to a covered palate. Clearly, dentures do not feel and function like natural teeth.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help you avoid the need for dentures later in your life, but other factors can make dental replacements an inevitability.

The good news? Modern dental implant technology is making dentures a thing of the past.

At Willowbrook Dental Care we have information and expertise that can help bring hope to denture wearers through dental implant technology. There are a variety of effective denture/implant tooth configurations.

Call Willowbrook Dental Care to book an implant over-denture consultation with Doctor J. Scott Anderson. We can help you understand your options and can recommend options.

If you currently wear traditional dentures and are not happy with them, implant anchored dentures may dramatically change your life. Your chewing ability will be similar to that of natural teeth and you will be able to eat hard foods again. How about a thick T-bone at your favorite Cypress TX steakhouse? In addition to being able to enjoy your meal, you will avoid the embarrassment of having your dentures rattle around in your mouth in public.

Before you pay for another denture reline, ask your Houston dentist about the possibility of dental implants. While tooth implants are a significant investment, the dental implant cost is very reasonable when you consider they can last a lifetime.

Attention Houston denture wearers: there is life after dentures with tooth implants!

Come see us at Willowbrook Dental Care at 17350 State Highway 249, Ste. 200, Houston, TX, 77064 for more information about dental implants.

Find A Cosmetic Dentist

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

It used to be that in Houston you could find a dentist just by walking down to the corner of the street. Like many small towns, there would be a dentist on the corner of ‘north and main’, just up from the fire house, and across from the bakery.

Today, finding a cosmetic dentist around Houston can take a little more time, and a little more effort. Our local Houston community is spread out a little more, and there is more than one option for finding a local dentist in Houston.

Let’s look at a few of the ways to find a local cosmetic dentist in Houston:

The old timers among us still reach for the yellow pages when we look to find a dentist in our local Houston community. The yellow pages have been a standard for dentists since the beginning, and are a quick way to get a good list of local Houston cosmetic dentists.

Studies are showing an ever increasing number of Houston consumers are turning to their Internet connection to find a dentist. To find a cosmetic dentist online can mean more than just a name and a phone number; many dentists, like us, have additional information on their website that will help you gain a better understanding of their practice and the services they provide.

Many people find a cosmetic dentist in the Houston community through printed mailers and flyers that come to your door. Houston dentists spend a lot of money on these types of flyers, which can often carry a discount opportunity or special promotion.

The most popular method used to find a local dentist? …Word of mouth. Studies have shown that people in Houston are more willing to listen to a family member or close friend when it comes to finding a local Houston cosmetic dentist.

We understand this last point, and make it our job to keep our patients happy, healthy, informed and comfortable during their visit to the dentist. We know if you leave happy, your friends and family in the Houston area will hear about us, too.

If you are looking for a cosmetic dentist in Houston, please give us a call. You can reach us at (281) 571-3760.

If you know a friend who is trying to find a dentist in the Houston area, please pass our name along.

We look forward to seeing you both!
