Dentistry is not all about filling cavities and getting root canals. It is also about making your smile the most beautiful smile that it can be.

Restorative dentistry, better known as the specialty dentistry called prosthodontics, helps people regain the full use of their mouth by replacing bad or missing teeth. Most general dentists are able to perform the procedures needed to fully restore damage to your teeth. If you need serious dental care, then they may refer you to an oral surgeon before restorative procedures can be performed. There is no need to hide your smile or to avoid people. Contact your dentist today to learn more about how restorative dentistry may be beneficial to you.

Earlier this year Woodlands Family Dental heard about a wonderful young woman named Megan Moureau. At just 27 years of age, Meagan has experienced a lot of life and most recently, the quick decay of her teeth.When she was 24 years old, a genetic predisposition kicked into overdrive and the enamel that protected her teeth quickly deteriorated. This left her with thousands of dollars’ worth of repair. Through the financial support of many of our friends and a matching contribution from Woodlands Family Dental, Megan was able to receive restorative implants on both her upper and lower teeth resulting in a new, beautiful and healthy smile. Below is the note we received from Meagan after her final visit. Dear Dr. Murphey & Woodlands Family Dental,I just wanted...

At Woodlands Family Dental, you know that our primary mission is to glorify God in all the things that we do. One special ways we are blessed to do that is through missions trips to developing countries where we provide much needed dental care.

We know it can be a scary predicament when you need to visit your local dentist. Over the years several anxiety issues have been addressed by those in the dental profession. Sedation dentistry is exactly what the name implies. It is the use of a calming agent to help a dental patient relax either during their procedure, or prior to it. Dental anxiety is different with each patient. Therefore, the sedation level and options for each patient ranges from minimal to moderate, and finally to deep sedation. Sedatives help calm the central nervous system, and they can make dental visits seem less intense. Dental Sedation for Peace of Mind Many types of sedatives can be used to calm a dental patient. One of the most popular is nitrous oxide, which is commonly called...

Do you have a broken tooth? Sometimes there is no pain associated with a minor fracture. However, the cracked or jagged edges can be rough on your tongue. Teeth are normally strong, but sometimes you can bite down on a hard substance, or perhaps experience a facial injury that causes dental problems. Maybe you fell or have bad dental hygiene. Regardless of the reason, it is important that you seek dental care. To Ache or Not to Ache Teeth that chip or break have the potential to break further without proper care.

This can cause tooth pain and tons of dental problems that could cause you to lose the tooth if a dentist is not seen immediately. When a piece of your...
