On May 4th, we opened our office after 7 weeks of quarantine. You’ll notice some changes when it is time for your appointment. We have adjusted our policies, procedures, and protocols to reflect CDC, ADA, TDA, and OSHA guidelines in our office to help ensure the safety of our patients and team. These changes include:
1) Please stay in your car and call us when you arrive at our office for your appointment. We will call you to come in when we are ready.
2) All patients and those who accompany them must wear a mask in our office. You will be instructed by our team when to remove your mask during your appointment.
3) Upon entry into the office, we will provide hand sanitizer, take your temperature, and you will answer the COVID-19 disclosure form.
4) Each patient will rinse with a pre-procedural rinse before treatment.
5) We are disinfecting by cleaning and sanitizing the office frequently throughout the day. We will have numerous air purifiers throughout the office.
6) Our waiting area no longer offer magazines and children toys.
7) As you can see from the photo, we have all of the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety of our dental team and patients.
8) Each patient should come alone, with the exception of minors who need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian and those who need assistance.
We look forward to seeing you again. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors, and friends.

Many families are struggling with stress right now. Trying to homeschool, being furloughed, or trying to balance your kids being home with attending jobs as essential employees can all lead to anxiety for everyone involved. Over time, high levels of stress could also lead to teeth grinding! In today’s blog, your Garland, TX, dentist talks about bruxism and possible solutions.
Have you noticed your tooth has started feeling sensitive, or possibly even ache? A toothache could be telling you lots of things, possibly even alerting you to the presence of a cavity or an infection. Since your Garland, TX, dentist is still offering emergency care on a case-by-case basis, we can help address the factors behind an aching tooth and preserve your smile in the process.
Staying home helps slow the spread of COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus, and protects the more vulnerable members of our communities. Since we’re only offering emergency care at the moment, that means you can’t attend your routine checkups and cleanings for the time being. Your Garland, TX, dentist doesn’t want to see your oral health suffer, so we’re talking about the steps you can take to keep your smile healthy and strong!
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is crucial to avoid the loss of the tooth altogether. We’re currently only offering our Garland, TX, patients emergency care, but that includes treating infections. In today’s blog, we’re looking at how to prevent them, and how we treat them once they develop.
To flatten the curve and slow the spread of COVID-19, many people across the DFW area are staying home and doing what they can to protect the health of themselves and their families. But what happens when a dental emergency arrives? If you develop a damaged tooth, your Garland, TX, dentist suggests scheduling an emergency visit so we can repair the issue.
A healthy smile is about more than just bright teeth or avoiding cavities. Improved oral health has been shown to improve overall health as well. In today’s blog, your Garland, TX, dentist talks about the importance of keeping your teeth and gums healthy, and we also look at the steps we take to ensure our office is a clean and safe environment for patients of all ages!
When a patient comes to our office missing most of their teeth, then we need a substantial solution to restore function and beauty to their smiles. Your Garland, TX, dentist may create a set of dentures, such as a full or partial. But how do we create these dentures, ensuring a comfortable fit and a lifelike fit? When should you see us to discuss your treatment options?
In our last blog, we explained how bridges offer a unique and custom solution to minor tooth loss. However, your Garland, TX, dentist also offers a more advanced and longer-lasting solution with implant dentistry. Not only do dental implants boast a 98% success rate, but they can offer a host of additional benefits for our patients.
If you have between one and three missing teeth, then you need a replacement option. While a denture is a bit much, and a single dental implant not enough, a dental bridge could be the perfect choice. In today’s blog, your Garland, TX, dentist talks abut how we create and place natural-looking dental bridges and help smiles stay whole and healthy.
How often do you see the dentist? You shouldn’t just wait until they ache or you notice something wrong. Instead, to maintain optimal oral health and avoid problems, you should see your Garland, TX, dentist for a checkup and cleaning at least once every six months! What makes these routine visit so vital? Do kids need them too?
