Seeing is believing! Our intraoral camera will open your eyes!

The single most powerful piece of technology in our practice (for Doctor and Patient) is the intraoral camera.  Why?  Because seeing is believing!  What if your dentist could SHOW you what was wrong with your tooth on a large television set?  Well, in our office, that’s exactly what’s available to you.

As a result, the “trust factor” goes way up and any doubts, questions, fears are immediately addressed with a clear picture of the tooth and the treatment that is needed is validated quickly.  Fear can be driven by the unknown. 

Our camera can also validate your GOOD oral health and the fact that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your teeth at all!  How wonderful!  Every new patient that comes into our office for a comprehensive exam receives a “tour of your mouth” with our camera.  See all that is good in your mouth, see what may need a little help.

Call us today for an appointment to see your teeth on TV!  817-292-5957

We have had Cerec technology for the past five years.  In fact, we were the first practice in Fort Worth to have Cerec.   As you can see, Cerec produces strong, natural-looking crowns.  Call our office today for an appointment!  817-292-5957

Tetracycline Stain and Worn Teeth from Grinding

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tetracyline is an antibiotic that was widely prescribed for pregnant women and children from the 1950’s through the late 1970’s.  One of the possible side effects was permanent staining of teeth.  In this case, presence of tetracycline staining and severe wear from teeth grinding led this patient to take action.

First, Teeth whitening was performed for a few weeks.  Then, six upper front teeth were prepared for porcelain veneers and temporaries were placed.  A couple of weeks later, the real porcelain veneers were bonded onto the teeth and the result was spectacular!  A Nightguard was also made for the patient to protect the veneers and teeth at nighttime, when most people tend to grind their teeth.

Porcelain veneers may provide a dramatic esthetic result, but more importantly, they can preserve worn, broken teeth and protect them from further damage.

Making Good Use Of Your Dental Insurance

At Stovall & Cheng, we are highly skilled at helping you maximize your dental insurance.  Whether you have limited time until your dental insurance ends, or you fear that you may be losing your insurance soon, or you simply just want to know what percentage your insurance covers on specific procedures, we can help. 

Dental insurance is a good benefit to have, but should not dictate your treatment.  Delaying treatment can lead to more problems down the road and will lead to more expense. 

Please don’t wait any longer!  Call today for an appointment at 817-292-5957.

Need A Second Opinion?

At Stovall & Cheng, we pride ourselves on giving an honest opinion and recommending treatment.  Several times a week, patients come in for second opinions and we gladly take a look, get the intraoral camera and flash the tooth in question directly on to the TV in the room!  Imagine if you could SEE the problem for yourself!  It takes away doubt and fear and gives clarity to what needs to be done to fix the tooth.

There is no obligation to “become a patient” just because we look at your dental problem.  However, we are confident that once you visit our office and experience our excellent care, our genuine interest in your well-being and our state-of-the-art technology, you’ll want to stay and establish a life-long partnership with us to maintain your oral health.

Call us today at 817-292-5957!  We can get you in within a few days or many times, the same day!  We welcome emergencies and are always open to new patients.

Is a free dental visit for a new patient too good to be true? Believe it!

We call it a “look-see” appointment.  If you are a new patient to our practice that is seeking a second opinion, need a treatment estimate, or just want to come talk about a specific dental concern but are not ready to commit to our office yet, we provide a free visit called a “look-see” appointment.  This allows all parties involved to get acquainted with one another without making a commitment.  It is our belief that the more informed you are about the state of your dental health, the better choices you’ll make on your daily habits and what type of treatment you choose to have performed.  With digital x-rays and our intra-oral cameras, you’ll see exactly what we see!  How nice is that! 

How many times have you had your oil changed and the mechanic comes to you and says (with a dirty oil filter in hand): “Sir, you also need to have your oil filter changed today.”  Call me a cynic, but how do you really know that the dirty filter came from your car?  You don’t, unless you were there.  With our intra-oral camera, we take your eyes directly to the problem and you see what we see!  Rest assured, if we recommend treatment, you will SEE exactly why. 

If you, or any of your friends, family or co-workers have a dental problem or concern, please feel free to have them contact us at 817-292-5957 or email us at stovallchengdds@sbcglobal.net.  We’d love to get to know you better and help shed light on your condition!
