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!

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Houston

Tooth whitening has really taken off in Houston. It has become a popular dental procedure and can provide excellent results if done properly.

There are a lot of options when it comes to tooth whitening. You can choose from a selection of over-the-counter options that you can get at your local pharmacy, or can go to a professional to get a complete tooth whitening solution.

It is a good idea to consult with your dentist before a tooth whitening, regardless of whether you choose to use an over-the-counter product. Your dentist will be able to help you understand the results you can expect, and can help recommend a product that will work for you.

There are many variables when it comes to tooth whitening. The color of your teeth at the beginning of your treatment will make a difference for your ending result. Different tooth whitening treatments will each produce a different result. Your Houston dentist has experience with tooth coloration and the types of treatments available.

In many cases, your Houston dentist will be able to provide you with a tooth whitening solution that you can take home with you. In some cases, your Houston dentist may recommend a professional treatment that is done at the dentist’s office.

Professional tooth whitening can produce dramatic results in a single treatment, and is often done over a few treatments.

Tooth whitening is less expensive than it was in the earlier days of tooth whitening technology. Today, tooth whitening treatments are very affordable, and don’t take the time they used to.

If you are interested in a tooth whitening consultation in the Houston area, please call Willowbrook Dental Care and make an appointment to see me. I will be happy to give you a check up, assess your tooth color, and recommend tooth whitening treatments that may be right for you.

Houston Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic Fremont Teeth Whitening and Veneersdentistry procedure in Houston and throughout Texas.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local Houston media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ‘22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local Houston Texas patients, we recommend talking to Dr. J. Scott Anderson DDS at Willowbrook Dental Care. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by  smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is especially important to talk to a dental professional about worry-free dentistry teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile. Many of your neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide on which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of Houston veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.

Providing comprehensive dental care for Houston families since 1988.

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.
