While the procedures they cover are similar, there are many differences between medical and dental insurance. With medical insurance, going out of network can be an expensive move on some plans. Many dental fees are set the same way in and out of network. This means that for most people who have a PPO Plan, seeing an out of network dentist is often the same as seeing one within your network. If you haven't been to the dentist yet, make sure to check your benefits before the end of the year. It may be a good time to come in! Insurance can be confusing - but we're here to help answer your questions and make sure you get great dental care. 290 East John Carpenter Freeway, Ste 2700 Irving, TX 75062 (972) 885-3510 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0M-Dx4q9LI 47 2017-10-16 yes no 21stCenturyDentalTX no https://www.21stcenturydental.com/invisalign.html https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EzKWiIzS6ow/maxresdefault.jpg FAQ - What is Invisalign? | 21st Century Dental https://www.21stcenturydental.com Welcome to 21st Century Dental! If you've been looking for a straighter smile, you may have heard of invisalign while doing your research. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces that comes in a set of customized, clear trays. Wearing these trays allows you to straighten your teeth without visible brackets and gives you the additional freedom of being able to take your tray out to eat or brush your teeth. Dr Smith warns that leaving your tray out too long can reverse the good it has done, so be sure to wear your invisalign tray for 22 to 23 hours of the day. Does invisalign sound like the right fit for you?

Dental implant technology has improved vastly over the years and it has quickly become one of the best way to replace a broken, damaged or missing tooth. The process is quite simple, although depending on your dental situation it may take some time. The first step, if needed, is removing the broken or damaged tooth and placing a bone graft. In some cases this can be done immediately, but it could take a few months for the body to grow bone around the post that has been placed for the implant. The titanium post that has been placed at the site of the removed or missing tooth will need to time to heal and become integrated, but once your implant is ready you come back into the dentist's office to place the crown on the post and you have a brand new smile.

When choosing a cosmetic dentist, there are many things to look out for to assess their ability to provide good care.

This and the patient testimonials are a good indicator of skill and bedside manner that can help you make a good initial choice.

Six Month Smiles is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that is similar to invisalign in that it straightens your teeth without the traditional metal braces associated with most orthodontics. Six Month Smiles is an adult orthodontic solution that uses brackets and wires, but keeps the materials tooth or clear colored so that most people are unable to notice them. Because this system utilizes brackets rather than clear trays like invisalign, you can usually see results much sooner - in around six months. It's possible for some cases to take longer or shorter than the six month window, but it's a good average for how long it takes to correct the average orthodontic case using this procedure. Need to have a great smile for an event coming up? We have the solution for you, call today: 290 E John Carpenter Freeway, Ste. 2700 Irving, TX 75062 (972) 885-3510 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FajSdiBLph4 52 2018-10-08 yes no 21stCenturyDentalTX no https://www.21stcenturydental.com/sleep-apnea-symptoms.html https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ayFh1L_t1Ek/maxresdefault.jpg FAQ - What are the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea? | 21st Century Dental | Sleep Apnea Therapy https://www.21stcenturydental.com Welcome to 21st Century Dental! Do you suspect that you or your partner may have sleep apnea? Snoring is one of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea, but not everyone who snores will be afflicted by it. Occasional snoring is normal, but if it's consistent and appears with other symptoms such as hypertension or high blood pressure, it may be cause for concern. Sleep apnea can have devastating effects if left untreated; since so many of the systems in your body use sleep to repair themselves, sleep apnea can be the root cause of many seemingly unrelated disorders such as acid reflux, depression and diabetes. A sleep test is the only sure way to find out if you have sleep apnea - schedule yours with us today: 290 E John Carpenter Freeway, Ste. 2700 Irving, TX 75062 (972) 885-3510 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayFh1L_t1Ek 75 2019-04-18 yes no 21stCenturyDentalTX no
