How to Save Your Tooth with a Dental Crown

Posted by

Today, modern crowns are crafted with greater precision and more biocompatible, lifelike materials than ever. At our Cleveland, TX, dental office, we can custom-design the right dental crown to save your tooth, as well, restoring its health as well as improving its (and your smile’s) healthy appearance.

What Makes Invisalign® a Good Choice?

Posted by

Orthodontic treatment didn’t always come with a lot of choices. Traditionally, the process of realigning teeth that aren’t in proper alignment could only be accomplished with the help of orthodontic braces, which consist of brackets and wires. Today, however, patients who need to straighten crooked teeth have more choices than ever before for improving their smiles and tooth alignment. For example, at our Cleveland, TX, dental office, we can suggest a more discreet and comfortable alternative in the form of Invisalign® clear aligners. Made from nearly invisible acrylic instead of metal brackets and wires, clear aligners can be a good choice for improving your smile in a way that isn’t as obvious as traditional braces. (more…)
