Rebuild & Rejuvenate Your Smile with Dental Implants in Denton, TX

151545340Over the past decade, dental implants have rapidly become the preferred method of replacing missing teeth. Whether you are missing a single tooth or require replacement teeth for a full arch, dental implants make it possible to smile with complete comfort and confidence. At Southridge Dental in Denton, TX, Dr. Ted Dunson and our team offer implant dentistry solutions that suit your lifestyle while rebuilding your beautiful smile.

Will Dental Implants Work for Me?

A one-on-one consultation with our team of experienced implant dentistry doctors will aid in determining your candidacy for dental implants. If your oral health is in good shape and your jaw possesses sufficient bone density to support implants, it is likely that you are a good candidate for this procedure. Our team will explain the entire process from start to finish so that you fully understand what to expect; we’re always here to answer any questions you may have.

The dental implants process is relatively simple. A biocompatible titanium post will be placed within your jaw where you missing tooth once stood. Osseointegration – the process by which your jaw bone fuses with the implant – will occur over the course of the next 6 to 8 weeks as the soft tissues of your gums heal as well. When this brief recovery period is complete, Dr. Dunson will complete your restoration with a beautiful, custom-crafted crown that blends seamlessly with the rest of your dentition. The result is a completely transformed smile, a stronger bite, and all of the confidence that comes with being able to eat, speak, and laugh with comfort and freedom.

Enjoy a Brand New Smile with Dental Implants

At Southridge Dental, we believe that every patient deserves to reap the full benefits of a gorgeous, healthy smile. Rediscover beautiful form and lasting function with dental implants from Dr. Dunson and our dedicated staff.

Revitalize Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers in Denton, TX at Southridge Dental

101475871When you look at your smile in photographs or in the mirror, are you happy with what you see? Perhaps you even hide your teeth behind your lips when you pose for pictures because you’re embarrassed or self-conscious about their appearance. If cosmetic flaws like chips, stains, and cracks in your teeth frequently detract from your quality of life, Dr. Ted Dunson wants to help. At Southridge Dental in Denton, TX, Dr. Dunson and his experienced team offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry solutions for patients just like you, including porcelain veneers.

Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are an ideal solution to a variety of aesthetic issues, correcting a variety of problems in as little as two visits to Southridge Dental. These custom-made shells of dental porcelain are meticulously crafted to look and feel just like natural tooth enamel. In fact, they even reflect light in the same way that your existing teeth do, so your smile never looks “fake” or unnatural. Porcelain veneers can flawlessly correct these common cosmetic problems:

  • Deep staining that is resistant to professional teeth whitening
  • Teeth that appear too small in relation to surrounding teeth
  • Chips and/or cracks in enamel
  • Gaps between the teeth that show when you smile
  • Mild to moderate crowding or misalignment

To begin, Dr. Dunson will take precise measurements of your teeth and send this data to a special lab where your veneers will be created. After they have been applied, you’ll be able to smile with complete confidence in the knowledge that your teeth look as great as you feel.

Will Porcelain Veneers Work for Me?

The first step to determining your candidacy for porcelain veneers is scheduling an appointment with Dr. Dunson for a consultation. The majority of patients faced with mild to moderate aesthetic concerns are deemed great candidates for this common cosmetic dentistry treatment, so call us today to reserve your visit with Dr. Dunson to learn more. Our state-of-the-art, family-friendly dental practice in Denton, TX warmly welcomes patients from throughout the DFW Metroplex, including Lewisville, Frisco, Plano, Richardson, Flower Mound, The Colony, and more.

Invisalign Clear Braces: An Orthodontic Solution That Fits Your Lifestyle

Shutterstock InvisalignDo you often look at your smile in the mirror and wish that your teeth were straighter or spaced more evenly? For many adults and teens, the notion of spending a few years wearing metal braces simply isn’t appealing, particularly when your career requires that you maintain a polished, professional appearance. At Southridge Dental in Denton, TX, Dr. Ted Dunson and his caring, friendly staff understand that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution to your dental issues. That is why we offer an all-encompassing array of cosmetic, orthodontic, and restorative dental services to address your unique needs, including Invisalign clear aligners.

Advantages of Invisalign

Invisalign clear aligners are similar to traditional braces in that they gradually shift the teeth into their proper positions, but with Invisalign, there’s no need for metal brackets or wires. Instead, the teeth are moved into alignment using a series of clear plastic aligners that are customized to fit your unique dentition. Simply switch to the next set of aligners in the series every two to four weeks and see your new smile emerge over the course of approximately 12 to 18 months of treatment.

Because Invisalign aligners can be removed when you eat, you don’t have to worry about making any changes to your normal diet. Enjoy your favorite foods even as you undergo orthodontic treatment, and feel free to remove your aligners for short periods of time for special occasions or outings. You’ll love how comfortable and easy the process really is (almost as much as you’ll love your results)!

Your Radiant Smile, Only Straighter

If you’ve spent years wishing that your teeth were straighter but you’ve avoid seeking orthodontic treatment, Invisalign clear aligners may prove to be the perfect choice for you. Contact our office in Denton, TX today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Dunson and our warm and welcoming team. We look forward to showing you what a difference this revolutionary orthodontic treatment can make in your smile and in your everyday life. Our family-friendly office happily serves patients from throughout Denton, Fort Worth, Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Lewisville, Flower Mound, and beyond.

Get Rid of Bad Breath Once and For All with Tips from Dr. Dunson in Denton, TX

Whatever causes it – whether it be the extra garlic in your lunch earlier or a dry mouth in the morning – bad breath is one of the most unwelcome oral conditions we experience. It can be embarrassing and make social interaction uncomfortable, especially when you find yourself caught in tight spot without any way to remedy it quickly. At Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Ted Dunson wants to help you put your bad breath to rest with routine checkups, cleanings and preventative care.

Quick & Easy Tips for Fighting Halitosis

Sometimes, chronic bad breath is caused by an underlying health condition, such as advanced periodontal disease or liver problems. In most cases, however, a foul odor from the oral cavity is caused by something far more simple and, fortunately, preventable. Keep the following in mind next time you find yourself affected by a bout of bad breath:

  • Don’t skimp on the flossing. Patients who neglect to floss regularly tend to suffer from bad breath more often. This is because tiny particles of food lodged between the teeth attract and harbor bacteria that cause odors. Twice a day is all it takes!
  • Stay hydrated. When you don’t drink enough water, your mouth can become dry, making odors more noticeable when you speak or exhale.
  • Reach for an antibacterial mouthwash. Killing the germs, the source of bad breath, is an easy way to ensure a fresh mouth.
  • Keep up with routine cleanings at Southridge Dental. Every six months, your mouth needs an overall cleaning that rids it of accumulated plaque and other debris. Keep your breath fresh all year long when you visit twice annually.

If persistent bad breath has caused you embarrassment or discomfort and you’re tired of living with this daily problem, contact our Denton, TX office today to see how Dr. Dunson can help you. We gladly welcome patients from throughout the greater DFW area, including Plano, Frisco, Lewisville, Fort Worth, Dallas and beyond.

Reclaim Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers in Denton, TX

Do you tend to avoid smiling around family, coworkers and friends because you’re embarrassed of your teeth? Dark stains, chips and uneven spacing can make you feel like hiding your smile, often leading to issues with self-confidence and unhappiness. At Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Dunson and his team know how important a healthy, beautiful smile is in your every interaction. With porcelain veneers and Lumineers, you can smile in confidence, knowing that your teeth are straight, even and brilliantly white.

Why Choose Dental Veneers?

Lumineers and porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are custom-fit to each of the teeth that are visible when you smile. They can be tailored to suit your unique preferences, changing the shape and size of your teeth for a uniform, natural-looking appearance. They are highly stain-resistant and resemble your real teeth – only they’re whiter, straighter and more evenly spaced.

Whether your teeth are jagged and cracked due to an injury or persistently yellow from years of drinking coffee or smoking, it is possible to enjoy a beautiful smile that you’re proud to show the world. In as little as two visits to Dr. Dunson’s Denton office, you can reclaim your youthful, charismatic smile and your sense of confidence. The most common dental problems solved by porcelain veneers and Lumineers are:

  • Uneven spacing and gaps between teeth
