See For Yourself!

Time and time again, our patients will say after their first visit with us: “I’ve never had an exam like that before!  That was Great!”

Why?  All because at the end of their comprehensive exam, we give them a “tour of your mouth” with the intraoral camera.  You see what we see, except better: Try your teeth magnified 10 times on a television screen!  All doubts erased and everything face-value for what it is.

I’ve always said, I wish my mechanic had a camera to show me why he had to make a repair on my car.  Without a picture, I’m completely at his mercy and can only hope that he’s being honest with me.  At Stovall & Cheng, DDS, a picture says a thousand words.  You are literally in “partnership” with us in seeing why we give a particular recommendation. 

Isn’t technology great in 2010?  You deserve to be in an office that utilizes the latest technology to do great dentistry and to give you a comfortable, informed experience.  With a camera just a little larger than a ball point pen, see for yourself!

Choose wisely when picking a dentist to rebuild your mouth

img_1544

img_1441If you’re thinking of having major dental work, do your homework and ask questions.  How many of these cases has your dentist completed?  Do they have before and after photos of their cases?  How do they plan for your case? 

At Stovall & Cheng, DDS, we start your case with a complete assessment that includes digital photos, molds of your teeth, measurements, exam and consultation.  We have photos of our cases and can usually find one that looks a lot like your current situation.  From your assessment appointment, we perform a “mock preparation” in which we prepare (with our handpiece) on models of your teeth and then do a “wax-up” on your models so we know what your case will look like before we even start.  Doesn’t that make sense?  If you’re going to commit to a large amount of work in the front of your mouth, shouldn’t we know what the endpoint will look like before we even start?

Visit our website at www.hulendental.com , as well as the rest of our blogs on this site, to see all of the cases we have completed over the years.   We are currently accepting new patients and look forward to help you achieve a healthier mouth and better looking smile.  From Implants, dentures, bridges, veneers and Invisalign, we can help you.

Cavity-Prone? Add in an extra brush!

If you would classify yourself as “cavity-prone”, here’s some advice on how you can do your part in cavity-prevention:

1) Brush your teeth 3 times a day.  Most people brush their teeth in the morning, have breakfast, lunch, dinner and then brush their teeth before they go to bed.  Think about it, that’s 8+ hours that food, plaque & tartar are sitting on and around your teeth!  So, take an extra toothbrush (you know, the ones your dentist gives you every 6 months) to work and brush right after lunch.  That’ll cut that time in half and give you better breath throughout the day, too.

2)  Cut down on your sugar intake.  It’s OK to have a sweet tooth, but if you’re bathing your teeth in sugar constantly and not removing the plaque off of your teeth, it’s a recipe for more cavities.  Again, brush in the middle of the day and immediately after eating sweets.  Soft Drinks are a big culprit in causing tooth decay.  Sodas are very acidic and most are very high in sugar.  This combination can be primed for causing cavities.

3)  Use supplemental  fluoride.  This can be in the form of an over-the-counter fluoride rinse, a prescription for fluoride gel written by your dentist, or a prescription toothpaste that has a higher fluoride content than regular toothpaste.  Some people just have cavity-prone teeth that they inherit from a parent or other have teeth that didn’t develop well from some interruption during their childhood.  Whatever the case, for some people preventing cavities is a constant uphill battle that never goes away.

I always tell my cavity-prone patients that they have to work twice as hard as my other patients because “those are the cards they were dealt.”  After all, to some extent, all of us have our faults and at least with cavities, you can do something about it.   I’m only 5’4″ tall…would I like to be 6′ tall?  Of course.  But I can’t do anything about the cards I was dealt.

There’s always hope!

Sometimes, things just get away from you.  You take care of other people’s needs and you come last.  Other times, circumstances just don’t allow you to take care of your own needs and pretty soon, you find your self feeling like nothing can be done to save your teeth.

Don’t give up hope!  In modern dentistry, we have many ways to fix teeth in non-invasive, non-traumatic, predictable ways.  All it takes is a good dentist and the right planning.  Once the plan is established, it’s just a matter of finding a way to fit the cost into your budget and following through with the work.  Many times, in a series of 5-6 visits, we can completely rebuild a mouth with teeth that are permanent and do not have to be taken “in and out.”

First impressions ARE everything

There is a saying: ” You never have a second chance to make a first impression.”  This has never been more true than it is today.  Unfortunately, we live in a vain world in which just about everything revolves around how something or someone looks.

Your smile is the first thing most people notice…in a social environment, during a job interview, in photos, the list goes on and on.  If you’ve always wanted to be able to smile freely and proudly, please visit our website or Facebook page and see for yourself how we can help you.

Call us for a free consultation today!  817-292-5957
