Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Have you thought about upgrading your smile? Flower Mound cosmetic dentistry offers many exciting possibilities.

The quickest and least invasive procedure is light teeth whitening. The results are dramatic and teeth whitening side effects are minimal.

If your teeth are slightly crooked, but require no orthodontic work, porcelain veneers could be the answer. Porcelain teeth veneers are translucent, wafer-thin covers that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, correcting chips and stains. Prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth structure.

If your teeth are more than slightly crooked, it’s not too late for braces. Patients of all ages in Flower Mound are undergoing orthodontic treatment and achieving fantastic results. The newest clear braces are less noticeable, more comfortable and bring teeth into alignment much faster than old-school metal braces.

Has gum recession caused the metal base of an old crown to be visible? Soft tissue grafts and crown replacement can correct this problem.

Are you missing one or more teeth? One of the best Flower Mound tooth replacement options is a dental implant. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Can you envision yourself with a dental makeover?

Call Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry at 469-293-1040 to discuss your cosmetic dentistry options.

Bright Smiles In Lewisville

Hello Lewisville! Do you want brighter, whiter teeth? Most Lewisville folks notice their teeth dulling as the years go by, but some foods, drinks, and even mouthwashes can stain teeth at any age.

OTC tooth whitening products like kits, strips, or toothpastes may slightly lighten stains, but for a truly brilliant smile Steven W. Titensor can help!

If you have dental veneers, bonding, or bridges, teeth whitening bleach will not lighten the stains and your whitened natural teeth will make your dental work look even duller in comparison. At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry, we can recommend new dental work, including veneers or bondings, if these have aged and discolored.

Remember, anything that can stain a white tee shirt can stain teeth.

Fortunately, brushing after meals can keep stains at bay, however with acidic foods or drinks, just rinse your mouth with water. Brushing right away can erode enamel, causing thinner teeth as we age.

Lewisville in-office Zoom whitening takes about an hour and bleaches teeth to a whiter-than-ever brilliance. Professional take-home whitening kits are also available at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry and can produce the best results over time.

For more information on getting a younger and brighter smile, contact our friendly cosmetic dentistry team for a smile brightening consultation today! Ask us about financing options.

Is a Perfect Smile Possible In Flower Mound?

Are you considering a smile makeover in the Flower Mound area? Are you skeptical of promises of a ‘perfect smile’ a ‘celebrity smile’ or ‘a dazzling, youthful smile’? Let’s talk about the most popular Flower Mound cosmetic dental procedures and the results that can be expected.

Composite Veneers
The application of porcelain veneers at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry can remedy a multitude of aesthetic dental problems and is often a better cosmetic dental solution for candidates in the Flower Mound area than dental bonding. Veneers can correct tooth chips, tooth cracks, minor tooth misalignment, tooth discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size. Can a porcelain veneer create a perfect tooth? While a veneer cannot fix a decayed tooth, it can turn an unsightly tooth into an aesthetically perfect tooth.

Tooth Bleaching
Flower Mound tooth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment that dramatically improves a smile. However, some tooth whitening dentists will guarantee fantastic results for any patient that desires a whiter smile. At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound we only recommend tooth bleaching for clients that are good candidates for the process. If you have all-natural teeth that are dull or stained, tooth whitening will brighten your smile. If you have several dental crowns in the front of your mouth, or gums that have receded, conventional tooth-whitening may not improve your smile.

Call 469-293-1040 to schedule a tooth-whitening consultation.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a mouth full of metal fillings, you may be interested in tooth-colored fillings. To get an idea of how the inside of your mouth would look without metal, have someone without any fillings open their mouth. Do you remember when your mouth looked like that? Would you like to bring your smile back to its pre-filling appearance? It is possible with tooth-colored fillings at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry.

These are just a few of the cosmetic dental solutions that create perfect smiles for our Flower Mound clients. You can see a complete list of our cosmetic and restorative dentistry services at http://www.SmilesBySteve.com.

Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry In Flower Mound

Hello, I’m Dr. Steven W.Titensor. Welcome to my Flower Mound cosmetic dentistry blog. Today’s article focuses on the difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

General dentists in Flower Mound are dedicated to preventing and treating oral disease such as cavities and gum disease. When a problem is diagnosed, let’s say, a cavity between two teeth, a general dentist will assess the best way to restore the tooth involved.

Flower Mound cosmetic dentists perform elective dental procedures that make a smile more attractive. Cosmetic dentistry procedures available at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound include teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, dental bonding, veneers, inlays, onlays, and dental crowns.

Some Flower Mound dentists, like myself, offer both general and cosmetic dentistry procedures. In some cases, there is a cosmetic component to restorative procedures. For example, if a Flower Mound dental patient comes in after receiving an injury that chipped a front tooth, the tooth needs to be restored to prevent decay. The tooth is also less structurally sound, so it is vulnerable to further damage. In addition, the tooth affects the overall appearance of the smile. Depending on the specifics of the damage, there are several of restorative options. Dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and crowns are all used to repair a damaged tooth.

As you can see, there is not always a definitive line between general and cosmetic dentistry. At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry, my friendly team provides the full spectrum of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental procedures. We treat Flower Mound area patients of all ages: from toddlers just beginning to get their baby teeth to mature clients who remember the days when many people were afraid of dentists and their whiny drills. (Some of our wonderful elderly Flower Mound patients have crowns that are twice as old as our hygienists.)

If you are looking for a full-service dental practice in the Flower Mound area, I invite you to come into Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound. We are located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd. To schedule an oral examination or smile makeover consultation, call 469-293-1040.

Wisdom Teeth And Your Flower Mound Dentist

Wisdom teeth are the last of the molars (grinding teeth) to erupt from the gum. They usually appear in the late teens and early twenties. Not all people develop these teeth while others have from one to four.

Though some people never experience any problems with these extra molars, many times wisdom teeth can create serious dental complications. If the wisdom teeth do not have the room to develop and erupt normally, they are referred to as impacted wisdom teeth. An impacted tooth may never emerge from the bone and gum, emerge only partially, or come in sideways.

Impacted teeth can damage the adjacent molar, cause infection or trigger gum disease. Sometimes these problems cause no noticeable symptoms for a period of time. To prevent these serious complications, wisdom teeth are often removed.

Wisdom teeth symptoms include pain when opening mouth, gum swelling, bad breath, and pain when chewing. These indicators can be constant or intermittent.

To learn more about wisdom teeth extraction, call 469-293-1040 to schedule an exam at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry. Our friendly cosmetic dental team can recommend the best course of treatment.

My dental practice is called Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry and is located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd in Flower Mound Texas. I have been practicing dentistry since 1986. Since opening my Flower Mound cosmetic dental practice, I have seen a lot of changes in dental techniques and tooth restoration materials, however, my commitment to the highest quality of care and personal attention to my patients has not changed.

At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry, my friendly with advanced treatment staff and I provide a full menu of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental services.

Why Aren’t You Smiling?

Hello, I’m Dr. Steven W. Titensor DDS. My dental practice is called Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry. We are located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd in Flower Mound (75022), and you can reach us by calling 469-293-1040.

You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the Dallas area. Whether I am working with a Lewisville dental patient, having dinner at a Coppell restaurant, or attending a Grapevine 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 not seeking dental treatment, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a 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 Flower Mound cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My friendly with advanced treatment 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 469-293-1040 or online at http://www.SmilesBySteve.com. My Flower Mound family dentist 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!
