What a Beautiful Texas Smile Says About You

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

What a Beautiful Texas Smile Says About You It’s not just about looks. According to a recent study by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), a healthy and attractive smile makes you appear more intelligent, successful, friendly and interesting. (See http://www.aacd.com for complete survey results.)

Our smile makeover patients who have undergone restorative and cosmetic dentistry at Willowbrook Dental Care in Houston have experienced this phenomenon firsthand. They have expressed that they not only feel great about their looks, they are more confident in professional and social situations. Another benefit: they also feel more appealing to the opposite gender.

I’m Dr. J. Scott Anderson of Willowbrook Dental Care in Houston. I get great satisfaction in using my years of specialized experience to provide premium cosmetic dentistry for my patients. I am passionate about developing a custom treatment plan for each Houston dental client. Some of my patients had lived with misaligned or crooked teeth for years. Others had been self-conscious about missing or stained teeth.

There has never been a better time to upgrade your smile. There are solutions for every kind of dental problem. If you are not familiar with the latest teeth whitening, crown restoration and tooth replacement procedures, it is time to find out. Call (281) 571-3760 to schedule a consultation.

Gummy Smile?

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Gummy Smile? Many Houston cosmetic dentistry patients with a gummy smile undergo crown lengthening surgery to bring proper balance and symmetry to their smile. Gum tissue and, in some cases, bone is removed to expose more of the visible part of a tooth. It is a safe procedure that does not affect healthy tooth structure.

A ‘gummy smile’ is a term used to describe a smile with teeth that appear too short because an unusual amount of bone and soft tissue hide part of the crown. Our Houston cosmetic dental patients who have opted for crown lengthening love how their new perfect smile looks and feels. Some of our crown lengthening clients also choose teeth whitening for an extra-dazzling smile!

Crown lengthening is not used solely for cosmetic reasons. When a tooth is injured and breaks at the gum line or if a filling or crown comes off a tooth that contains decay, crown lengthening makes additional tooth structure accessible for further restorative work. It is also used to treat some types of periodontal disease.

At J. Scott Anderson DDS, we perform cosmetic and restorative crown lengthening for patients in the Houston area. The surgery can be performed by a general dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon.

If you are interested in crown lengthening or other cosmetic dental procedures, schedule an exam by calling  (281) 571-3760. We are conveniently located at 17350 State Highway 249, Suite 200, Houston, TX.  When you come in, we can show you before and after photos of Texas cosmetic dentistry clients who are enjoying their new smile.
