High Tech Dentistry in Houston

June 5th, 2008

Our practice employs the latest high tech equipment to make your visit as safe, fast, comfortable, and state-of-the-art as possible.  

Our X Rays are made with digital sensors that reduce the radiation exposure by 90% and allow us to view them on 37 inch monitors instraed of small one inch films.

Our Tek Scan Occlusal Analyzer allows us to use a computer to see how your teeth come together.  We can use this to balance a bite to prevent TMJ, muscle pain, and broken and worn teeth.

Our Myotronics K7 gives us the most sophisticated diagnostics to solve TMJ and pain problems and to make sure our full mouth reconstructions are made at the perfect bite.  The K7 has three modes.  Sonography gives us a graphical readout of joint sounds with information about frequency (an indication of damage) timing and intensity.  EMG’s tell us if the muscles are in spams and if they are to what degree.  It also helps us verify when we have quieted them.  The Jaw Tracker allows us to track all jaw movements on a computer screen in three dimensions.  This insures we find the right bite.

The Diagnodent by Kavo removes the objectivity in determining if a tooth has a cavity.  We shine a harmless beam into the tooth and the reflection back will be changed if the is a cavity and tells us how deep it is. This often allows us to find decay and treat it early before anesthetic or a “shot” is necessary.

Our Cerec 3D CADCAM computer allows to make crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers in about an hour with no impressions, temporary’s, or second visits.

Our computerized porcelain oven allows us to customize color on teeth to get the perfect match with our all porcelain restoration without having to send them back to the lab.

Deep Bleaching for Darkly Stained Teeth

Glamsmile Dental Veneers in Houston

June 4th, 2008

Dr. Kathy Frazar and Dr. Tom Hedge have brought a new technique for dental veneers to Houston from Belgium. American cosmetic dentistry is the envy of the world. We have the best techniques and can create the most beautiful smiles. Europeans have been showing interest in bright white straight teeth, but culturally are not accustomed to investing in making their teeth whiter. A dentist in Belgium saw the need for a simplified technique to efficiently deliver dental veneers. She developed a technique where the teeth have no or minimal preparation (no shots or drilling) and the veneers are delivered in a custom tray that allows them all to be bonded at once. This saves us time and allows us to deliver Glamsmile veneers for a fee as low as $4800 for an arch of teeth.
