Have you always wondered about cosmetic dentistry, but thought maybe it wasn’t for you?

Well, veneers are your answer!  Veneers have come a long way.  They are easy, painless and virtually instant.  In a little as two visits you can have an entirely new smile, or just enhance the one you already love.

What is a veneer?

A veneer is a contact-lens-thin custom-made shell that covers the front side of the tooth and is bonded on permanently. They are created one-of-a-kind in a laboratory just for you, by a technician.  Veneers are made from exact models of your mouth taken by the dentist.

It’s about time

There is no reason to live with gaps in your front teeth, stains that won’t come off or crooked, chipped, or misshapen teeth. Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct natures mistakes or remove the results of an injury, leaving your teeth looking better than ever and refreshed.

Veneers might be perfect, if you:

• whiten regularly, but would like a permanent solution
• are self-conscious of the gaps, chips or crooked teeth in your smile
• have stains that do not respond to whitening
• have an upcoming event, like a graduation, wedding, or reunion
• want the look of a straight smile without the commitment of braces

Veneers require little, if no drilling, and no large time commitment, and deliver gorgeous permanent results.

Just what you want

Many times patients think cosmetic dentistry means an unnatural,  movie-star smile.  They think cosmetic dentistry is not for them because they might not feel like “themselves”.  Today this is just not the case.  Results can range from drastic, to subtle.  With a variety of custom shade, size and shape options, you can get exactly what you want.

Veneers are one of the easiest and fastest ways to change your smile.  Whether you are looking for a dramatic or subtle result, veneers can deliver both.  I would love to talk over your options with you at your next visit.  Feel free to ask to see many of the Before and After photos we have in our office of happy patients.

Imagine never having to worry about the appearance of your smile when meeting strangers or taking pictures. Imagine not having to cover your mouth when you laugh. Imagine smiling with full confidence when introducing yourself. All of these possibilities are extremely possible with the help of our professional staff.

DALLAS DENTIST IS BEING PORTRAYED IN MOVIE, “MY ALL AMERICAN”.  Angelo Pizzo, director of “My All American” movie with Rett Terrell who plays Bobby Mitchell aka Dr. Robert Mitchell DDS, best friend and roommate to Freddie Steinmark, a former Longhorn football player who the film is based on. Dr. Robert Mitchell DDS even appears in the movie as an extra portraying a doctor circa 1969 (If you blink, you will miss him!) Such a fine movie about an inspiring and sweet young man who left us too soon. His courage goes beyond the game.

The “My All American” movie trailer is here!

What Freddie Steinmark (Finn Wittrock) wants most in the world is to play football. Deemed to small by the usual athletic standards, his father trains him hard, and Freddie brings a fight to the game that ultimately gets him noticed — by none other than legendary University of Texas coach Darrell Royal (Aaron Eckhart). Awarded a scholarship and a chance to play for the Longhorns, Freddie sets off to Austin with his loving high school sweetheart Linday (Sarah Bolger), determined to make the team. Alongside his teammate Bobby Mitchell (Rett Terrell) and new pal James Street (Juston Street), Freddie is put through the paces of a grueling practice schedule, but the boys’ camaraderie off the field translates into solid playing on it, and they rise up the depth charts, giving the Longhorns a real chance to turn the team around. But just when they’re reveling in the success of the season, Freddie suffers an injury that leads to a shocking diagnosis and the biggest challenge he will ever face.

From the write of HOOSIERS and RUDY, MY ALL AMERICAN tells the true story of a boy who became a hero and what it truly means to have the heart of a champion.

“My All American” movie will open in theaters nationwide on November 13, 2015.

Oral cancer is on the rise. 

Dentist in Dallas TX Urges You To Have An Oral Cancer Screening Today!

This year alone it is estimated that more than 43,000 Americans will be diagnosed this year, and about 9,000 will die as a result of oral cancer.  That is why educating yourself on prevention methods, early detection, and treatment options is more important than  ever.

The number of people expected to be diagnosed this year with oral and throat cancers is VERY concerning.  The good news is that early detection is quick, easy, and painless.  As part of your routine dental exam, we will be screening you for oral cancer as well.  A dentist can see and feel precancerous tissue changes and early cancer, and can diagnose them during the early, curable stages. When oral cancer is detected early, the survival rate is an encouraging 80% to 90% and treatment outcomes are also good.

Many oral and throat cancers today are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus, specifically HPV 16 and HPV 18.  Because of the rapidly growing number of HPV-related oral cancer diagnoses, we strongly recommend that our patients age 17 years and older get screened yearly.

What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?

An oral cancer screening takes only three minutes. It consists of a verbal, visual, and physical examination and includes the following:

• A thorough review of your oral health history, as well as your overall health history, which includes questions that help assess your level of risk for mouth cancer

• A visual inspection of all the areas of your mouth and throat in an effort to locate any abnormalities, such as sores and red or white patches; this inspection includes the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, floor of the mouth, roof of the mouth, and far-back section of your tongue

Oral Cancer Signs and Symptoms

In between routine dental exams, you should perform self-examinations.  Some of the things that you should be looking for when doing self examination which may indicate either a cancerous or pre-cancerous lesion are any of the following:

• Red or white patches on the lining of the mouth or tongue
• Swelling or thickening of areas inside the mouth
• Unexplained bleeding
• Sores on the face, neck, or mouth that do not heal
• A Chronic sore throat
• Hoarseness in your voice
• A change in the way your dentures fit
• Suspicious lumps found by palpating your mouth, jaw, and neck
• Dramatic weight loss
• Inability to swallow, or difficulty in swallowing

Oral Cancer Prevention Tips

Here are some of the things that you can do to minimize your risk of getting Oral or Throat Cancer:

• Avoid smoking and the use of all tobacco products.
• Limit drinking alcohol, or avoid it all together.
