How do the doctors keep up-to-date on all of the current techniques and materials?

We not only stay up-to-date on our required continuing dental education hours, but exceed that as we attend helpful events like the American Dental Association Convention, the TDA meeting in San Antonio, monthly area study clubs, Dallas MidWinter Conference, and regional courses available across the country.   Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas provides many excellent CE opportunities.

How do I know when it's time to come in for a checkup?

If you're experiencing pain or bleeding gums, you need to come in very soon. We like our patients to see a dentist every six months. Periodontal patients may need to come in more often. Remember, every patient's dental needs are different so these are just general guidelines. We work closely with you to help you understand exactly what visit intervals are best for you.

What do I do if I have an emergency when the office is closed?

You'll just call the regular phone line and hear phone numbers on the answering machine for how to reach appropriate persons. We can then speak with you and determine the best next steps for your care. If you have an emergency during office hours, we'll take care of you as efficiently as possible.

I want my front teeth to look better, but I don't want to wear braces. What would you recommend?

We can straighten your teeth through a process called Invisalign, using a series of plastic, removable aligners. We also offer cosmetic veneers and crowns that may make more sense for your current situation and goals. Come see us and we'll talk each option over carefully with you.
