Can Dental Implants Help You Find Your Smile Again? Find Out with Dr. Dunson at Southridge Dental!

Shutterstock Explaining ImplantsThey say that the world always looks brighter from behind a smile. If you tend to avoid smiling because you are missing one or more of your teeth, however, your world might not seem as bright as you’d like. At Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Denton, TX, Dr. Ted E. Dunson helps people just like you regain their confident smiles with the advanced technology of modern dental implants.

Could Dental Implants be Right for Me?

To determine whether or not dental implants are the ideal tooth replacement option for your individual case, Dr. Dunson will evaluate the health of your gums and the bone in your jaw. For the majority of patients with sufficient bone density in the jaw, dental implants prove a superior alternative to removable prosthetics like full and partial dentures. They look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, allowing you to once again eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence. Dr. Dunson will walk you through each step of the process in a way that ensures you understand completely, answering any questions you may have along the way.

A Beautiful Smile & Renewed Function

Whether you’ve recently had an extraction and need a replacement tooth right away or you’ve spent years missing multiple teeth, Dr. Dunson and his team want to help you reclaim your smile and overall oral health. Contact our office in Denton, TX today to schedule your consultation and find out if you are a candidate for dental implants. We also happily welcome families from nearby communities in Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Lewisville, Frisco, and beyond.

It’s a great time for parents, teachers and dental teams to encourage awareness of early oral health practices and the importance of dental hygiene throughout the year. At Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Denton, TX, Dr. Ted Dunson and his team provide comprehensive pediatric dentistry services that form the foundation of a bright and healthy future.

Prevention is the Key to Success

At Southridge Dental, we often reference the well-known adage that says, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” When children are young, their minds are like sponges. They’re eager to learn how things work and how to take care of themselves. This is the perfect time to teach kids how important their oral health is as well as how to maintain it properly. With regular checkups, consistent home care and preventive dentistry services from Dr. Dunson, kids can get a great start on this important aspect of their overall well being.

In order to set the stage for lifelong oral health, Dr. Dunson recommends bringing your child in for their first dental visit by the age of one. We also invite you to bring your kids in with you when you visit for your own checkups. Getting your little ones accustomed to the pleasant environment of our office at any early age means they’ll be comfortable coming in for years to come.

Children’s dentistry services at Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry include the application of protective sealants, strengthening fluoride treatments, biannual exams and cleanings, orthodontic treatment and the prevention of oral injury with custom athletic mouth guards.

Smiles for the Whole Family

At Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, exceptional oral health care and patient satisfaction are our primary objectives. Contact our office in Denton, TX today to schedule your child’s appointment and see what a difference our commitment to excellence can really make. We also happily welcome patients of all ages from Fort Worth, Dallas, Frisco, Plano, Lewisville and beyond. We look forward to giving your little ones something to smile about!
