Let’s Talk About Your Smile

I am Dr. Steven Titensor of Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry. Our office is located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd., Suite 320, Flower Mound, TX 75022. One of the best things about being a Flower Mound area dentist is interacting with our patients. During initial dental consultations, we listen carefully to our patient’s short and long term dental goals.

We enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of our clients desire a total smile makeover. We 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 conscious sedation. Sleep dentistry, sometimes called 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 us to see our patient’s reaction to their new smile.

We 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 Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry today to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

Straighten Teeth Fast in Flower Mound

Color Braces Poorly aligned teeth? Think it takes forever for braces to straighten them? Think again. There are many new types of braces available in Flower Mound. In some cases, teeth can be straightened in a few months and then, with braces off–a fantastic new smile.

If you are considering straightening your teeth, come into Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound for an orthodontic consultation. We can discuss the new types of braces. Dr. Steven W. Titensor, DDS, will explain the pros and cons of each type and recommend the most effective (and quickest!) system for your teeth.

The first things most adult Dallas teeth-straightening clients ask about are the newer systems, sometimes called clear braces and adult braces. Invisalign and damon braces are two brand names of alternative orthodontic systems popular in Coppell and Lewisville. Many of our adult orthodontic patients have been embarrassed by their crooked teeth for many years and have developed a habit of covering their mouth when they smile. It is great to see them smiling confidently after they have completed treatment.

Younger clients usually have a different attitude about braces. They seem to consider braces more like a fashion accessory and are not afraid to show them off. Dallas area teens are interested in color braces and colored rubber bands braces. During orthodontic consultations, they usually ask about the possibility of a clear retainer to maintain teeth alignment after their braces have done their job.

Bright Purple Mouth When You Smile In Flower Mound?

Flower Mound Invisalign Remember when Dallas adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment were mortified by their metal mouth? Thankfully, those days are over. The Flower Mound teens of today wear their braces proudly and make no effort to hide them. They know they don’t need to wait until their teeth are aligned to flaunt a striking smile; they enjoy flashing their brightly-colored braces in all their glory.

Another plus? Just as they mix and match their clothes and shoes, teens can change their wires and bands every time they visit their Coppell dentist or orthodontist. Braces have become another fun way for Lewisville and Grapevine fashion-forward teens to express their personality.

Of course, there are still some kids (and many adults!) that are not thrilled about having metallic fuchsia bands and neon yellow wires adorning their teeth. Discrete Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable and straighten teeth just as quickly and effectively as metal braces. Another benefit of the Invisalign system is that the aligners are not permanently attached to the teeth. Invisalign aligners are easily slipped out for brushing, flossing, meals, and sports. If your Flower Mound child plays a musical instrument that defies traditional braces, removable aligners may be the best option.

If you or one of your children need orthodontic treatment in the Dallas area, call Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry at 469-293-1040 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Steven W. Titensor. Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry is located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd., Flower Mound, TX in Flower Mound. We also provide comprehensive restorative and cosmetic dentistry. If you need affordable state-of-the-art dental care in Flower Mound, let us tell you about our financing options.

Whatever your age, if you want to straighten your teeth, we have wires and bands to match every outfit in your closet!

Dental Crowns in Flower Mound

Dental crowns have been used in dentistry for over 2000 years. There is evidence that the Etruscans experimented with crowns on teeth using ivory and bone as early as 700 B.C. By 200 A.D., they began using gold crowns to construct artificial teeth. Ancient Egyptians fashioned tooth replacements out of seashells and then hammered them into their gums (Oral sedation, anyone?).

Porcelain crowns were first used in the 1800s. With the refining of metal casting methods in the 1900s, crown dentistry advanced significantly.

Today, crowns are strong, comfortable and are made to match your surrounding teeth.

Dental crowns (also called caps) cover the entire visible portion of the tooth and are cemented in place. Crowns are used to strengthen teeth that have been worn down or weakened by decay or injury. Crowns are also used to restore the original shape of a tooth or solely to improve the appearance of a tooth.

The most common types of crowns are:

  • All-porcelain (ceramic)
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal
  • Gold

The material used is determined by several factors. If you suspect you need a crown, want to replace an old crown, or want to learn about other cosmetic dentistry procedures, call Dr. Steve Titensor at 469-293-1040. Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry is located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd., Suite 320, Flower Mound, TX. We have been serving clients in the Texas area for years. We can recommend the best tooth restoration or cosmetic dentistry option for you.

Tooth Whitening and Your Flower Mound Dentist

Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular dental procedures in Texas. It seems that everyone in Flower Mound is whitening their teeth to help their smiles look younger and brighter. Many consumers in the Flower Mound, Coppell, and Lewisville areas are turning to over-the-counter solutions to whiten their teeth, however their can be dangers and pitfalls to this approach.

Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry:

First, we encourage you to visit our office in Flower Mound before starting a tooth whitening system. It is a good idea to have your teeth checked and analyzed before starting a tooth whitening program. Tooth whitening is not for everyone, and depends on your dental history.

Dentist Stephen Titensor can help you determine whether your teeth can be whitened safely and effectively. We can also recommend tooth whitening solutions that will work best for you. Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry is a good place to start for this important decision.

There are many pitfalls to be aware of when whitening your teeth. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products available in the Flower Mound area will provide varying degrees of effectiveness on your teeth. If used improperly, tooth whitening solutions can cause problems including tooth sensitivity, over whitening, damage to your tooth enamel, and irregular coloration. Whitening too much can even have a reverse effect, making your teeth look gray.

Most teeth whitening product manufacturers recommend that you visit your local Flower Mound dentist when things go wrong with your over-the-counter solution. We recommend you begin with the very comfortable and friendly professionals at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry to get started with the best tooth whitening solution.

Our office is located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd., Suite 320, Flower Mound, TX 75022. Please give us a call or stop by to make an appointment to discuss your tooth whitening plans. We are eager to help you make the best decision.

Our very comfortable and friendly staff is available to discuss tooth whitening solutions, explain tooth whitening options, and check your teeth to make sure you will get the results you want.

Flower Mound Prepless Veneers

One of the latest breakthroughs in Flower Mound cosmetic dentistry is prepless veneers. Though thousands of Coppell and Lewisville smile restoration clients who have received traditional veneers are happy with the results, some Texas dental patients have delayed this procedure because they do not want to lose healthy tooth structure.

Flower Mound prepless veneers are a less-invasive procedure for transforming Flower Mound smiles. New prepless veneers are incredibly thin shells which adhere to the face of teeth and require no removal of tooth enamel. Most Flower Mound prepless veneers are about the thickness of two pieces of paper. Because the color is built into the veneers (instead of being applied after fabrication), they look like your natural teeth–only better!

Our experienced Texas ceramists are skilled artists. They create each custom Flower Mound dental veneer with the optimum shape, color and thickness for your new smile. Another great feature of the prepless veneers application procedure is that it requires no anesthesia or drilling.

If you are embarrassed by misaligned, discolored or broken teeth, Flower Mound prepless veneers may be a Texas smile restoration solution that you can feel good about.

Call Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry to learn more about prepless dental veneers. It is the first step toward your dazzling new smile!

Celebrity Smiles in Flower Mound

Veneers in Flower Mound How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Do they avoid coffee? Not likely. Every star-watching magazine is full of pictures of famous people holding Starbucks cups. Do they avoid tobacco? Some probably do, but many actors and fashion models with dazzling white smiles are smokers.

Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Dr. Steven W. Titensor at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry has as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. Titensor has been providing smile makeovers for Flower Mound and Grapevine dental clients since 1986. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure in Coppell. Tooth bleaching quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Lewisville cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry. Schedule a Flower Mound cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 469-293-1040. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

(Note that the celebrities pictured above are not affiliated with our site; they just have great smiles!)
