Patient NewsletterWondering about the latest in dentistry?We're working very hard to make sure your visits are convenient, comfortable, and gentle. To that end, we investigate all of the latest technologies and techniques. Click on the desired topic to learn more: Smile Renovation
We always suggest taking care of your teeth because preventive care can save you time, hassle, and money. But when accidents happen, we have solutions. Simple dental procedures can restore your damaged tooth, replace your missing tooth, and return your smile’s natural, fresh beauty. A crown snugly covers the complete visible surface of a structurally unsound tooth to add strength and stability, while restoring the tooth’s natural shape and size. Crowns can be made of precious metal, porcelain pressed to metal, or all-porcelain. For damaged teeth, crowns restore beauty and function. A bridge can actually replace missing teeth. Fused between two porcelain crowns, abridge can replace one or more teeth to complete your smile. If you prefer a more stable and long-lasting prosthetic, a dental implant may be the right choice. Dental implants closely mimic nature in that they start with a firm foundation – a titanium post inserted into the missing tooth’s socket. This post creates a prosthetic tooth root that bonds with natural bone tissue. On the top of the implant, we can place a beautiful prosthetic tooth, a dental implant restoration, that will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. The moral of the story is to be nice to your teeth, be diligent with your oral hygiene, and visit your dentist regularly. Your teeth are hard workers, but they’re also precious part of your body that you should care for and respect. However, if the damage is already done, see us immediately. We can help you decide on the best treatment to restore your smile. Your teeth will thank you for it. We hold ourselves to the highest standard of care, because we feel excellence is everything. Visit Schleicher-Read Dental Group at our Houston, Texas, general and cosmetic dental practice and not only see, but feel, the difference experience makes. Drs. Schleicher and Read proudly serve patients in the Memorial, Montrose, Midtown, Bellaire, Katy, and Galleria neighborhoods. Call our office today and schedule your appointment for expert dental care.

We’re rough on our teeth. How many times have you chewed on ice or played sports without wearing a mouthguard? If you also skip semi-annual dental appointments and neglect a rigid homecare regimen of brushing and flossing, you compromise your smile even further. People damage or lose teeth every day from injury, disease, or decay. A damaged tooth can destroy oral function and cause pain, and a missing tooth will leave a gap in your smile. Your mouth must compensate for the lack of chewing power when a tooth is missing, so the chewing force may move to another part of the mouth. This causes the remaining teeth shift out of place and further destroys your smile.
