Dental Exams

Our comprehensive dental exams are the only way to find out what dental issues you might have. A routine dental exam will expose any dental problems you might have, as well as provide any treatment necessary to fix them. The dental exam is the foundation of good oral health, and without it, your next visit could be much worse.

During your dental exam, our dentist will:

- Examine your teeth for signs of decay and cavities

Dental Cleanings

Our dental cleanings in Houston are thorough. We remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, as well as treat any issues such as tooth decay or gum disease. Our hygienists are also able to teach good dental habits.

Dental Fillings

One of the most common types of dental treatments is a dental filling. Many patients don’t realize that fillings can be used to treat cavities, as well as damage resulting from tooth trauma.

A dental filling is typically made from a composite resin material, and bonded to the tooth’s surface. This procedure can be completed in one visit, and performed without anesthesia.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that cover the entire tooth. These caps are made from porcelain and are used to cover cracked or broken teeth, fill spaces between teeth, cover discoloration, cover misshapen or misaligned teeth, or cover a dental implant.

Dental Bridges

If you’re missing adjacent teeth, Dr. Miller can use a bridge to restore your smile and complete chewing function. A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. A traditional bridge consists of a filler tooth that is attached to two crowns, which are placed over the teeth surrounding the gap. The filler tooth is fused to metal bands that wrap around the neighboring teeth for support.

Dr. Miller offers bridges that are permanently fixed in the mouth with dental implants. This option provides the most realistic replacement for your natural teeth because they are attached to the jawbone just like natural teeth. Once the dental implant has been placed, it takes several months for the jawbone to heal. Once the bone has fused with the implant, a permanent bridge can be placed.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent replacement for your lost teeth. The implant is surgically placed into your jawbone, where it will fuse with your natural bone. Once the implant has fused, our dentist will attach an abutment to the implant. The abutment is the piece that connects the implant to your new tooth. Finally, our dentist will place on your new dental crown.

Dental implants are a wonderful option for patients with missing teeth. Not only do dental implants restore your smile, but they also prevent further tooth loss. Other treatments, such as dental bridges and dentures, do not prevent further tooth loss.

Root Canal Treatment

Sometimes, tooth decay reaches deep within a tooth, affecting the pulp inside the tooth and leading to an infection. The infected pulp must be treated before the tooth can be saved. Root canal treatment involves removing the infected pulp from the tooth and replacing it with a synthetic material. This effectively preserves your natural tooth and restores your oral health.

Gum Treatment

We also offer treatments such as laser gum therapy. This treatment is an effective solution for patients who struggle with gum disease. A laser is inserted into the mouth so that the tissue can be gently removed. The laser is able to target only the infected tissue and, as a result, only a small amount of tissue is removed.

Teeth

Our professionally trained staff can recommend treatments that can improve the look of your smile.

We offer advanced dental treatments at our office for the best results.

Dental treatments are procedures that correct oral problems.

Advanced dental treatments are more invasive than basic dental treatments.

The more advanced the treatment, the more complex the dental procedure.
