dental crown

When choosing between a dental crown and a dental implant in Allen, TX, you must know a few key things.

ORTHODONTICS

Whether your teeth are crowded, crooked, spaced out, or you have occlusion issues, there are multiple treatment options available for you.

Orthodontic care is a specialty of dentistry that involves moving your teeth and jaw into proper alignment. Tooth movement can be accomplished with traditional braces or Invisalign.

deep cleaning

Has your dentist mentioned the need for deep cleaning and root planing? Did you want to just receive a routine cleaning?

Here are some facts about scaling and root planing and how this can help save your teeth.

invisalign

Invisalign has helped thousands, and maybe millions of patients achieve a fantastic smile without the use of metal braces.

Whether you have already talked to your orthodontist about Invisalign or are researching on your own, this is your ultimate guide to Invisalign in Allen, Texas.

dental veneers

Have you dreamed of that beautiful new smile that you can show off to your family and friends? Did you think it wasn’t possible because your teeth are misshapen or discolored?

Well, you can stop dreaming because porcelain veneers for your teeth can make your dreams a reality.

retainers

Keeping your retainers clean is not only hygienic but can ensure your teeth stay straight for years to come.

As mentioned in Healthline not take proper care of your retainer can harbor dangerous bacteria such as Streptococcus.

Although those bacteria are present in the mouth, they can cause serious health concerns if they are present in excess amounts. 

Braces vs. Invisalign

Most patients realize that having straight teeth helps them with their confidence, be more successful, attract a better partner, have them appear more confident, and of course, aid in their oral health. The question isn’t whether to straighten your teeth. Its whether to get a more attractive smile with Invisalign or braces. 

OVERBITE

We have a ton of patients who come into Thrive Dental offices want to fix their overbite. I love talking about this subject because it is ubiquitous, but there are many misconceptions when it comes to overbites. Let me explain what an overbite vs. overjet is and how we can fix it.
