Afraid of the Dentist? How about a new smile while you sleep?

Filed under: Uncategorized — tomkathy @ 2:48 am

Dr. Frazar and Dr. Hedge have advanced training in sedation to allow you to sleep while they give you the smile of your dreams.  In addition to being top cosmetic dentists, Dr. Frazar has a background in Intensive Care Nursing prior to dental school and Dr. Hedge did intense training in General Anesthesia after dental school.  There is no dental team in Houston who is better trained to maintain your safety while having your dentistry done.  

Our doctors will give you a pill specifically prescribed for you to help you fall into a comfortable sleep. During the procedure your oxygen levels, blood pressure, and heart rate are monitored by computers and by our team.  When you wake up, you probably won’t even remember the procedure.

We can perform almost any dental procedure while you sleep, from fillings, to veneers or even a dental cleaning.  Our advanced technology allows us to make crowns in only one visit, so you will not have to be put to sleep twice.  Get over your fear with Drs, Frazar and Hedge.

High Tech Dentistry in Houston

Filed under: Uncategorized — tomkathy @ 8:52 am

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.
