Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Depending on your oral health needs, your provider may also take X-rays to look for oral health issues that a visual oral exam can’t see.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Dental check ups begin with a visual exam of the teeth and gums to look for any obvious issues. Patients will also be asked if they have any concerns or if they’ve been experiencing any symptoms that need to be addressed. Before the in-depth examination, the teeth are thoroughly cleaned using special tools and abrasives to remove plaque, stubborn tartar and superficial stains, as well as bacteria that form along the gums and between the teeth. During the cleaning, the dentist or hygienist will look for signs of gum disease as well as areas that need improvements in home care like brushing and flossing. once the cleaning is complete, the patient will be provided with tips on improving their home care routine if needed. Next, the dentist will carefully examine each tooth and the gums around the teeth to look for signs of decay or disease. An oral cancer screening will also be completed. Finally, the dentist will review recommended treatments and answer any questions the patient may have.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Tooth-colored fillings are restorations that are made of durable composite resin materials which can be tinted to match the surrounding tooth material so the restoration blends in with neighboring teeth and is virtually impossible to detect by anyone other than a dentist. Unlike metal fillings that contain mercury, composite fillings contain no metals, plus they won’t turn dark and black like a metal filling can. The composites used in tooth-colored fillings are “filled” into the tooth surface, creating a more secure and lasting bond with the natural tooth to prevent bacteria-causing decay from leaching under the restoration.
• Veneers
  Veneers use durable, tooth-colored materials to correct an array of cosmetic problems so patients can enjoy more beautiful smiles. Dr. Scott Evans is a skilled provider of veneers with patients in Dallas, TX, using state-of-the-art materials that look and feel more like natural, healthy teeth.
• Crowns
  The implant procedure usually takes three separate office visits. At the first visit, the implant post is placed in the jaw bone. If the jaw bone is very thin, it may be supplemented with additional bone material in a bone graft procedure which may be performed at the same time. Once the post is implanted, it’s left alone for several weeks while it fuses with the natural bone during a process called osseointegration. At the second office visit, a second piece called an abutment is attached. The abutment connects the post with the artificial tooth. An impression will also be made and sent to the lab where the crown will be created. At the third visit, the crown is attached to the abutment and carefully adjusted for a secure and comfortable fit.
• Bridges
  No, crowns and bridges can be cared for like natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing and routine dental checkups and cleanings to keep the gums surrounding the restorations healthy and free of disease. Removable bridges can be taken out to make it easier to clean the bridge and the gums; it takes some practice to learn how to clean around a permanent bridge.
• Dental Bonding
  Tooth discoloration can be caused by many factors, including poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, and the foods and beverages we consume. Foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, energy drinks, dark-colored berries, and any food with natural or artificial food colorings can all contribute to discoloration in the outer layers of the teeth. Foods and drinks that are high in acids temporarily soften tooth enamel so it’s easier for these stains to penetrate. Stains that develop in the superficial layers of teeth can be treated very successfully with professional teeth whitening treatments. Sometimes, discoloration occurs in the interior portion of the tooth as a result of infection, traumatic damage, certain diseases and long-term use of some medications, including some antibiotics. These deep discolorations need to be corrected with crowns, veneers or cosmetic bonding treatments.

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Invisalign® treatment starts with impressions of the teeth. These impressions are sent to a lab that specializes in Invisalign® aligners. The impressions are scanned into a computer that uses special software to create a series of 3D models of the teeth, showing how the teeth need to move over time. Next, the aligners are created based on those models using durable, lightweight, clear plastic. Most patients have from 18 to 30 aligners based on their specific needs and their unique mouth shape. During treatment, each aligner is worn for about two weeks, then exchanged for the next aligner to keep teeth moving in the right directions. Office visits occur about every six weeks. Most treatments can be completed in two years or less.
