Dental CrownDo you have a cracked, broken, or badly decayed tooth? Talk to Dr. Renee Corbitt of Fort Worth about cosmetic and restorative care with a dental crown. Using a dental crown, it’s possible to restore both the appearance and functionality of a compromised tooth.

Crowns have been made from a wide variety of materials throughout the years, but the most common material in use today is porcelain. Why? Because of how natural it looks. Porcelain has a luminescence and translucence that mimics the look of natural enamel. When your finished crown is resting side-by-side with your existing teeth, no one will know the difference. As a result, instead of feeling self-conscious, you’ll come away from our Fort Worth dental office feeling confident and healthy.

For teeth with significant decay, crowns are a particularly good treatment option. While fillings bond with a tooth’s surface, dental crowns cover the tooth and become its new outer surface. What’s more, your crown will be carefully made in a lab by a professional technician, with an accurate dental impression as a guide. You can trust that your finished crown will match your tooth and fit comfortably.

Do you want to learn more about dental crowns as a cosmetic or restorative solution? Call Dr. Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office. We serve patients from Fort Worth and all around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

children's dentistryAt what age does a child need to start seeing a dentist? As soon as she gets her first tooth. Most children start developing baby teeth between 6-12 months. Once that happens, your child is just as vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease as you are.

Visits with our Fort Worth pediatric dentist will help your son or daughter enjoy better protection from the most common oral health problems. What’s more, we can use these appointments to start teaching your child about brushing and flossing. The goal is to create good memories and good habits that will stay with your little one throughout life and encourage him or her to put an emphasis on oral hygiene.

One way our Fort Worth pediatric dentist does this is by using simple, pleasant words to talk to your child about her smile. Another way we do it is by partnering with you. To help your child build healthy habits, we need your help at home. Make brushing and flossing something you all do together. You can also give your little one a toothbrush that plays music to make the experience more fun. Taking caring of your teeth doesn’t have to be boring; it can be fun!

Does your child have her first tooth yet? Call Dr. Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office to schedule a first visit. We want to help you and your little one navigate this transitional period in life. We offer children’s dentistry to young patients from Fort Worth and surrounding communities.

Bridge the Gap in Your Smile with a Custom-Made Dental Bridge

January 31, 2014

BridgeIn our last post, we mentioned that many patients will at some point need cosmetic or restorative care. Sometimes the reason a patient needs restorative care is that he or she is missing one or more teeth. When that happens, it’s very important to replace what’s missing.

Why is replacing missing teeth important? Because you need a full set of teeth to enjoy a nutritious diet. What’s more, teeth help you enunciate when you talk, and they give you the confidence to smile at friends, family member, or even strangers. Missing teeth can also create wrinkles, affecting your appearance.

One of the ways Dr. Renee Corbitt is helping Fort Worth-area patients restore missing teeth is with a custom-made dental bridge. A dental bridge fills in the gap(s) in your smile, improving its functionality and appearance. They’re sometimes made of gold but can also be made of porcelain or a combination of other materials.

Often, a bridge is attached to healthy teeth on either end of the gap, known as abutment teeth. Because your dental bridge relies so strongly on these teeth for support, caring for them with regular brushing and floss, plus routine checkups and cleanings, is important. Dr. Corbitt can help you with both your dental bridge and with regular preventive care, so that your smile remains healthy and complete going forward.

Do you want to know if a dental bridge would help you? Call Renee Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office today for a special consultation appointment. We’re very happy to offer restorative dental care to patients from Fort Worth and all nearby communities.

Fix Flaws in a Single Visit with Affordable Cosmetic Bonding

cosmetic bondingMany patients need cosmetic or restorative care at some point. When that time comes, what service will be right for you? A Dr. Renee Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office, a simple and affordable option is helping patients get the cosmetic care they need in just a single visit. It’s called cosmetic bonding.

Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin—the same material used for tooth-colored fillings—to enhance teeth marred by cracks, chips, misalignment, or discoloration. Composite resin is a very durable material, supportive of a tooth’s natural structure. It lets Dr. Corbitt create dramatic results conservatively, without making major changes to a smile. What’s more, the results can be shaded to blend in with your smile’s natural color, and the results will last for years if properly cared for.

But that’s not all. Cosmetic bonding is more affordable than porcelain veneers, a similar cosmetic service, and the process can be completed in a single visit. For patients with busy schedules, or on a tight budget, that’s great news.

Is cosmetic bonding really right for you, though? Dr. Corbitt can help you answer that question in no time. During a consultation visit at our Fort Worth dental practice, a thorough oral exam will be completed, and your medical history will be considered. We’re dedicated to providing our patients with customized care, so if cosmetic bonding isn’t the best solution, we’re happy to recommend something else.

Call us today if you’re ready to schedule an appointment. Dr. Corbitt offers exceptional general, cosmetic, and restorative care to families in Fort Worth and all surrounding areas.

See Dr. Corbitt for an Exam and Cleaning Twice a Year

general dentistryIn our last post, we talked some about the general, cosmetic, and restorative services you’ll find at Dr. Renee Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office. Today we’d like to zero in specifically on the topic of dental exams and cleanings.

As we said last time, every patient, regardless of age, should have an exam and cleaning with us twice a year. During the exam portion of your visit, Dr. Renee Corbitt will look for some of the most common oral health problems a patient can face. Those include:

  • Gum disease
  • Tooth decay
  • Teeth grinding, or bruxism
  • TMJ disorder
  • Oral cancer

All of these issues come with symptoms, but not every patient will experience those symptoms in the same way. Sometimes patients don’t experience any obvious symptoms at all, which is why oral exams are important. Dr. Corbitt can look for any of these and then recommend a personalized treatment plan if anything is found. Leaving any of these issue untreated could have a serious impact on a patient’s good oral health and overall wellbeing.

The cleaning portion of a regular appointment is just as important. Regular brushing and flossing will do a lot to protect your teeth and gums, but some areas of the mouth are harder to reach than others. Our hygienist will thoroughly clean every corner of your smile, clearing away harmful bacteria, plaque, and calculus. We can also offer you important oral health care tips while you’re with us.

Do you need to schedule an exam and cleaning with Dr. Corbitt? Call us today. We’re happy to serve patients of all ages from Fort Worth and surrounding communities.
