Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry In Flower Mound

Flower Mound Cosmetic Dentistry 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 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.

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?

Dallas Dentistry 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!

Are You Ready to Smile Again, Flower Mound?

Are You Ready to Smile Again, Flower Mound? Most Flower Mound residents have plenty of things to smile about.

However, there are some Flower Mound and Coppell folks who avoid smiling at all costs. Are you one of those people who cover their mouth when they laugh? Do you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you? Have you been hiding unsightly teeth for years?

It’s time to take care of those tooth problems and get a new lease on life.

Steven W. Titensor DDS at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound can make it happen!

If you are missing one or more teeth, and live in the Flower Mound area, talk to us about dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that includes both root and dental crown. Because it is anchored into the jawbone, it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Are your teeth yellow or gray? Have your teeth whitened at our Flower Mound dental practice and experience an instant transformation.

Many of your Lewisville and Grapevine friends and neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. They correct several types of imperfections and can be applied in just one visit to our Flower Mound dental office.

Flower Mound Cosmetic Dentistry at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry

Cosmetic Denistry in Dallas Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your other teeth are nicely shaped and pearly white, guess what other people notice? Yep, the ugly duckling. You have probably experienced that yourself when you have looked at a smile that contains one discolored tooth. No matter how hard you try, the unsightly one is impossible to ignore.

A beautiful smile is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!

Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry
Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dental procedure available in Flower Mound at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.

What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible in Dallas with dental implants.

For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry at 469-293-1040. We are conveniently located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd., Flower Mound, TX in Flower Mound. We provide advanced dentistry for patients in Coppell, Lewisville and the surrounding areas. We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before after’ pictures.

Overbites And Underbites in Flower Mound

Overbites And Underbites When the upper part of the jaw and the lower part of the jaw are not the same size, bite problems can occur. When the lower jaw is smaller than the upper jaw, it is called an overbite. When the reverse is true, it is called an underbite. Another related alignment disorder is called a crossbite. Crossbites occur when lower teeth are in the wrong position. They may be incorrectly positioned sideways, forward or backward.

Malocclusion (literally ‘bad bite’) is the term used for all types of bite problems including overbites, underbites and crossbites. Jaw alignment disorders can cause a range of problems and often prohibit proper chewing and/or swallowing. Teeth can shift around in the mouth, causing even more discomfort or difficulty. Gum disease and tooth decay are also harder to prevent because proper oral hygiene can be difficult with a malocclusion. TMJ disorder can develop over time. Distorted facial shape and unattractive teeth are often the most noticeable and troubling issues for those affected.

Fortunately, there are a variety of effective treatments for bite problems. If you suspect your child has a bite misalignment, it is especially important to have them examined as early as possible. By starting early, you can make sure they avoid years of pain and self-consciousness.

Call Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry at 469-293-1040. Dr. Steven W. Titensor, DDS is experienced in diagnosing bite disorders in patients of all ages. We can create a successful treatment plan for you. We also perform porcelain veneers and dental implants for Flower Mound area dental clients.
