Why Does My Jaw Keep Popping?
If your jaw pops, it could be due to a number of causes. Read on to learn about some of the causes and how the issue can be treated.
New Year’s Eve is right around the corner, making now the perfect time to make your resolutions for 2023!
If you'd like your list of resolutions to include getting a brand new smile, David Epstein, DDS, Nikita Vakil, DMD, and our team can help you do just that. At The Woodlands Dental Group in The Woodlands, Texas, we offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry services that can make your dream’s of a new smile come true.
Getting a new smile can involve anything from a teeth whitening treatment to a more complex plan that involves multiple services. Here are some of the services we offer our patients, and we can do the same for you!
If your favorite foods — such as berries, tomato sauces, curry dishes, tea, coffee, or wine — have stained your teeth, you may consider teeth whitening to freshen up your smile. You can add a sparkle to your smile with our professional in-office whitening treatments or with our professional-grade take-home whitening kits.
Each option has its own perks. In-office whitening treatments are fast, while the take-home option allows you to brighten your smile in the comfort of your own home.
Missing teeth can impact the functionality of your mouth, increase your risk for jawbone atrophy, and contribute to low self-esteem. Replacing your teeth with dental implants can address all of these complications.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Epstein can pair your dental implant with a crown or dental bridge. If you don’t want an implant, our team also offers partial and full dentures. The bottom line is whether you’re missing one tooth or all of them, we can help restore your smile to full functionality.
Is straightening your teeth on your list for the new year? Dr. Epstein and Dr. Vakil offer a discreet orthodontic system that can straighten your teeth without the hassle of brackets and wires.
The system is called Invisalgn®, and it consists of a series of clear, removable aligners. Each set in the series moves your teeth slightly, and you replace one set with another every two weeks or so, and when you take out your last set, you have the smile you desire.
If you have multiple types of cosmetic imperfections that are minor, you may want to consider porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that cover the outer surfaces of the front teeth. Veneers are customized to the individual, including the size, shape, and color.
So, for example, if you have a tooth that’s too small, a veneer can go on top of it to make it appear as the correct size. But veneers can do much more than that. They can cover:
You can cover one or multiple teeth with veneers, and because they can address so many concerns at once, they can produce dramatic results.
If you’d like a brand new smile for the new year, we can help you do just that. We’ll go over your concerns, give you a thorough evaluation, and discuss the options that could best help you.
