Ask A Dentist About Cosmetic Dentistry

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Cosmetic dentistry has really taken off lately, and many of our Houston, Texas dentistry customers are asking us how cosmetic dentistry might work for them. When you ask a dentist about cosmetic dentistry, you’ll get good advice because your Houston dentist is here to help, experienced, and familiar with the pros and cons of cosmetic dentistry.

If you live in the Houston area and have questions about cosmetic dentistry, please give me a call. My name is Dr. J. Scott Anderson, I am a Houston Dentist providing dental services in the Houston area. I can help you with your cosmetic dentistry questions.

I will be happy to review your dental history, answer your questions about cosmetic dentistry in Houston, and help you determine if cosmetic dentistry can provide the results you want.

Along with an understanding of cosmetic dentistry, Willowbrook Dental Care can help you with a host of Houston dental services related to cosmetic dentistry. We specialize in porcelain veneers, and perform dental implants, too. We can also help you with teeth whitening and sedation dentistry in addition to answering your questions about cosmetic dentistry.

I look forward to answering any questions you have about cosmetic dentistry. Our Houston office is located at 17350 State Highway 249, Ste. 200, Houston, TX. Give us a call or stop by and meet our technically advanced and friendly staff.

Why Aren’t You Smiling?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

why-frown-1Hello, I’m Dr. J. Scott Anderson. My dental practice is called Willowbrook Dental Care. We are located at 17350 State Highway 249, Suite 200, Houston, TX 77064, and you can reach us by calling (281) 571-3760.

You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the Houston area. Whether I am working with a West University Place or Spring Valley dental patient, having dinner at a Houston restaurant, or attending a sporting event, I notice whether the people around me smile. Whenever I encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, I want to tell them about the procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.

Are you one of those people who don’t want to show their teeth? I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for notseeking dental treatment, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.

Perhaps you are afraid of dental work. Have you ever considered oral conscious sedation? With sedation dentistry, even extensive treatment is virtually pain free. Sedation will calm your mind as well as the nerves in your mouth.

Perhaps the cost of Houston cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My very comfortable and friendly staff will be happy to talk to you about financing plans. It is important to remember that if your teeth are decayed, postponing treatment will cost more money in the long run. Filling a cavity is far more affordable dentistry than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a dental implant.

You can contact my office at (281) 571-3760 or online at http://www.thehoustoncosmeticdentist.com. My Houston family dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.

I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!

Oral Conscious Sedation

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Oral Conscious Sedation Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Oral sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, oral conscious sedation can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider oral conscious sedation if you have any of the following issues:

  • Strong gag reflex
  • Fear of needles
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • A history of negative dental experiences
  • Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related conditions
  • Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call at (281) 571-3760. We can give you more information about sedation options and help you determine which one is right for you. At Willowbrook Dental Care we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.

Serving Houston dental patients since 1988.

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Houston Sedation Dentist Can Help

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Houston Sedation Dentist Can Help If you live near Houston and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.

Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Houston at Willowbrook Dental Care. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Houston for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous cosmetic and restorative dental clients in the Houston area.

Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, Houston dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Houston patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:

  • Teeth sensitivity;
  • Fear of needles;
  • A powerful gag reflex;
  • Difficulty controlling body movement;
  • Lengthy multi-procedure visits;
  • Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections.

If you need dental work more extensive than a filling; such as a root canal, tooth implant, crown replacement or wisdom tooth extraction; call Willowbrook Dental Care at (281) 571-3760. When you come to our office at 17350 State Highway 249, Ste. 200, in Houston, Texas, we can give you more information about sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is only one of the services we offer at Willowbrook Dental Care, where your smile is our top priority!

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Houston

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Houston If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:

Cost
In the long run, It is less expensive to do it all at once. At Willowbrook Dental Care in Houston, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most Houston residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at (281) 571-3760 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.

Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Houston dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry
When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss oral sedation dentistry. Many cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. Conscious sedation is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.

Sedation Dentistry in Houston

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Sedation Dentistry in Houston Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your dentist’s office holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite Texas radio station. An assistant clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.

As you read this, does your heart begin racing? Are your palms sweaty?

If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients in Houston every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.

Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule a visit with Dr. J. Scott Anderson to learn about conscious sedation dentistry.

Let’s Talk About Your Smile

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Let’s Talk About Your Smile I’m Dr. J. Scott Anderson of Willowbrook Dental Care. My office is located at 17350 State Highway 249, Suite 200, Houston, Texas. One of the best things about being a dentist is interacting with my patients. During initial dental consultations, I listen carefully to my patient’s short and long term dental goals.

I enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of my clients desire a total smile makeover. I explain in detail the treatments available including teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontia, crown restoration, and dental implants.

If a client is nervous about undergoing treatment, we discuss oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation, sometimes called oral sedation dentistry, is a great option for anxious patients. Dental visits do not have to be painful!

After the treatment has been completed, it is very gratifying for me to see my patient’s reaction to their new smile.

I never get tired of creating dramatic smile transformations for the best clients in Texas!

If you have been considering a smile makeover, let’s talk about your smile. Call J. Scott Anderson DDS at  (281) 571-3760 to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.
