Smile Makeover - Cosmetic Dentistry in The Woodlands TX
The Gift of a New Smile
Cristine: I decided to get veneers, because when I was younger I fell in a skating accident and chipped my front tooth. I had to get bonding done on it. So, over the years, I had bonding stains and discolors. When I started working for Dr. Lewis, I really didn't know all my options. I really had only talked to a dentist about doing the bonding.
Dr. Guy Lewis: Cristine's been working with me for about nine years, and she had worked for a plastic surgeon before. So she had been involved in the beauty industry, and she came to work for me. She has been a great asset. She's great, she understands what we do, she can communicate with the patients well, but she wanted to change her teeth as well.
She had some bonding done in the past, and they tend to stain. Bonding is an acrylic material that tends to absorb stain and change color over time, so she wanted to make them look nicer. She's a really pretty lady, and so I wanted to give her a really bright smile that would accent her look.
Cristine: We discussed crowns, full coverage crowns for all my teeth or veneers being more conservative, and I liked the more conservative approach on my front teeth, so we went with the veneers.
Dr. Guy Lewis: Veneers are a very thin shell, kind of like a contact lens of porcelain that goes over teeth. Another analogy would be kind of like a fake fingernail that you put over your fingernail. They are made to change the shape of the teeth, change the color of the teeth. Then we're putting the veneers right over their tooth, so we don't have to reduce the tooth in any way.
Then, I just smooth it out very gently right around the gum line. Most of the time, there's no irritation to anything, so we do it without numbing and without drilling on the teeth. They're very thin and delicate before they're bonded onto the teeth. Once they're bonded onto the teeth, they become very hard and they last a long time. I've had veneers, I have dental patients that are still doing good after 30 years.
Cristine: I love my new smile! Dr. Lewis truly is a miracle worker, and that first impression is a lasting impression, and I think a great smile is worth it all.
Absolutely top notch! Takes the time with patients , explains all options, & treats you like you are the ONLY patient
This was my first visit, that was scheduled as a “consult” & it turned out they got started on my treatment! I have to say this office hands down was absolutely wonderful!!! From the front desk to chair side! Love love Dr Lewis!! He took time to sit with me without any rush & explained options to give me the smile I wanted. No pressure , & gave great detail to each treatment plan. Rachel was wonderful to me. They both made every effort to being the most comfortable! Loving my results on phase 1 of treatment !!!!!
Dr. Guy Lewis and his entire team at Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry are very professional, responsive, and caring people. From start to finish of a full-mouth restoration, I was impressed with how Dr. Lewis listened to the vision I had for the tooth shape and shade that I wanted. Dr. Lewis, Christine, Rachel, Ana, and the entire team made it happen; my teeth turned out beautifully! The office was managed very smoothly with regard to communication among the staff; very impressive. Cristine was always responsive via text if I had any questions, as I was a fly-in patient from out of state. They checked on me, via text, after the dental work when I returned to the hotel, and I am grateful for the for the genuine care they showed to me. The entire team is amazing and I am so happy to smile with my bright and beaming new teeth!
Everything was as always-- well done!
The services are the best dentistry I’ve ever known! The staff is all amazingly knowledgeable and kind. And it’s just a very pleasant experience!!
