Are you or your child needing orthodontic treatment but are hesitant about the idea of traditional metal braces? Look no further than Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group in The Woodlands and Benders Landing, where we offer Invisalign, a clear and convenient alternative to braces.

Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a great option for anyone who wants to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their smile.

But Invisalign isn't just for adults - it's also an excellent option for kids and teens who may be self-conscious about wearing braces. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of younger patients, with features like compliance indicators that let parents and dentists know if the aligners are being worn as directed.

One of the best things about Invisalign is its convenience. The aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easy to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. And because there are no brackets or wires to adjust, you'll spend less time in the dentist's chair for adjustments.

Invisalign is also an excellent option for adults who missed orthodontic treatment earlier. Many adults hesitate to get braces because of how they look, but with Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. Plus, since the aligners are removable, you won't have to worry about changing your diet or lifestyle to accommodate braces.

At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group, we are committed to providing our patients with the best possible orthodontic care. If you're interested in Invisalign or any other orthodontic treatment, we would happily schedule a consultation and discuss your options. Give us a call today to get started!

Teeth Whitening: Beautiful and Amazing Results

Your smile is how you greet the world. With a brighter, whiter smile, you can be your best self. We all have occasions when we want to be our best, whether at weddings or class reunions. Sometimes we need to look good in everyday life, whether for work or personal reasons. A beautiful smile can make a significant impact on any occasion.

There are many options for tooth whitening. Your dentist is the best resource. Dr. Comeaux offers many options so that you can leave with a whiter, brighter smile. Zoom! Zoom! is the best method to whiten your teeth.

Zoom! whitens your teeth in one visit. This is an excellent option for patients with stained or shabby teeth. Zoom! is used by patients with deeper stains.

A chemically activated power-whitening gel is used to whiten teeth. It takes just 40 minutes to complete the procedure. Chemical activation of the potent 40% hydrogen peroxide is not required to make it work. The unique double-syringe design ensures that the clinician activates every dose of Zoom!. It is exciting and new.

• The chemically activated material is not dependent on light.
• Potent 40% hydrogen peroxide gel
• Opalescence's tooth whitening gel has PF (potassium-nitrate) and fluoride. Sensitivity can be reduced by using potassium nitrate. The effectiveness of fluoride in strengthening enamel and reducing caries has been demonstrated. They work together to improve the overall health and appearance of your teeth.1-5
• Each application requires new chemicals
• Precise delivery
• Complete removal is easy to see
• One-time application for 40 minutes total treatment time

What is the time frame?

Zoom! Teeth whitening is a quick and easy procedure showing visible results in just one session.

What is the life expectancy of my whitening results?

Patients who maintain a few cycles of maintenance whitening yearly will likely see long-lasting results. Patients are encouraged to do home whitening at least once per month. You may need to touch up more often if you drink red wine or heavy tea.

What are the side effects of these medications?

Sensitivity to the gums and teeth is the most common side effect. Sensitivity is usually temporary and can be reversed in as little as one to two days. To ensure you are a good candidate, your dentist can help you determine if you are eligible for whitening. They will also ensure you use the correct concentration of whitening cream to get the best results and minimize the possibility of developing sensitivity.

Zoom! laser whitening is a straightforward one-hour in-office procedure. The bleaching process that lightens the discoloration of enamel and dentin takes less than an hour. It begins with a preparation period followed by as little as 45 minutes of bleaching. Contact us to learn more about our alternative take-home trays and gel.

We offer Zoom! Laser Whitening at Both our Benders Landing and Woodlands Locations.  Book your appointment today and start enjoying the results.  

Comeuax Dental Group offers our patients a variety of cosmetic dental options to help them improve the overall appearance of their teeth and smile.  We offer cosmetic dental services at both our Woodlands and Benders Landing locations.  We offer affordable pricing and financing for approved patients.  

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch that focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth, and smile. This can be achieved through various procedures, including teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and braces.

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures is teeth whitening, which involves bleaching the teeth to remove stains and discoloration. This can be done at a dental office or at home with over-the-counter products. Teeth whitening is a quick and easy way to improve the appearance of a person's smile, and it is relatively inexpensive compared to other cosmetic procedures.

Veneers are another popular cosmetic dentistry option. These are thin, custom-made shells placed over the teeth' front surface to improve their appearance. Veneers can be used to cover up stains, chips, and gaps in the teeth, and they can also be used to correct the shape and size of the teeth. Veneers are made of porcelain or composite resin and designed to look and feel like natural teeth.

Bonding is another cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves using a resin material to repair or improve the appearance of the teeth. The resin is applied to the teeth and then shaped and hardened to create a natural-looking finish. Bonding can be used to fill in gaps between the teeth, repair chips or cracks, and even change the shape or color of the teeth.

Braces are another option for improving the appearance of the teeth. These are used to correct misaligned or crooked teeth and can be either traditional metal braces or clear aligners. Braces apply gentle pressure to the teeth to move them into their proper position over time. While they are most commonly associated with children and teenagers, adults can also benefit from braces to improve the appearance of their teeth and bite.

In addition to these procedures, cosmetic dentistry can include gum contouring and reshaping, tooth reshaping, and dental implants to replace missing teeth. Gum contouring involves the removal of excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth, creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. Tooth reshaping involves the removal of small amounts of tooth enamel to alter the shape or length of the tooth. Dental implants are artificial teeth surgically implanted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth.

While cosmetic dentistry can improve the appearance of a person's teeth and smile, it is essential to note that dental insurance does not always cover these procedures. Additionally, some cosmetic procedures may require multiple visits to the dentist, which can add to the cost.

Despite these potential drawbacks, many people choose cosmetic dentistry procedures because of their benefits. A beautiful, healthy smile can improve self-confidence and make people feel more successful in their personal and professional lives. In addition, cosmetic dentistry can also have functional benefits, such as improving a person's bite and ability to chew food properly.

Overall, cosmetic dentistry is a great option for people looking to improve their teeth' appearance and smile. With the variety of procedures available, there is sure to be an option that meets the needs and budget of most individuals. If you are considering cosmetic dentistry, it is crucial to speak with a qualified and experienced dentist to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Periodontal disease, often referred to as gum disease, is an inflammatory condition affecting four out of five American adults. Unfortunately, many people don’t even realize they have it, often because they ignore the symptoms and cannot see the infection nor feel any pain. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss, but the ill-effects of inflammation extend beyond your mouth and smile.

Treating & Preventing Gum Disease

The traditional approach to periodontal therapy is to simply clean the teeth and roots, and if that fails, to perform surgery. At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group we begin with a deep cleaning.  

The mouth is treated in quadrants under local anesthesia, we also offer calming nitrous oxide upon request for anxious or fearful patients. Treatments are scheduled one week apart and are generally comfortable. While the patient is comfortably numb the hygenist is able to access the rootsurface to remove the bacterial build up.   After an initial assessment, an individualized treatment plan will be outlined for you to support your immune system’s healing response during the regenerative periodontal treatments.

We have witnessed great results in periodontal therapy using our approach and remedies. We always encourage a healthy regimen of home care by teaching our patients how to care for their teeth and gums, followed by more frequent professional cleanings. We have seen our patients experience vast improvements in gum health and following an anti-inflammatory diet after periodontal treatment in our office.

Contact our Woodlands and Spring offices if you are suffering from Gum Disease or would like to schedule a routine check.  Our experienced team of Dentist and Dental Hygienists are prepared to help you get on your way to healthier teeth and gums.

Why Dental Implants?

Dental professionals have been placing dental implants in patients for over 40 years to restore their oral function. Implants are surgical-grade titanium. They can be used to replace one or more missing teeth and offer a permanent solution. Titanium can be used not only for dental implants but also for other medical devices such as hip and knee replacements. Titanium's properties allow bone from the body to integrate with the metal's surface. This is called "osseointergration" and was discovered by Dr. PI Branemark, a Nobel Research Institute researcher in Stockholm, Sweden. Millions of people have experienced an improvement in their quality of life since then.

Dental implants, like many other modern dental and medical technologies, have seen significant improvements over the past few decades. These devices are now more predictable than ever, from the physical design to their surface. In many cases, dentists can offer patients an "immediate function". This allows the patient to leave the surgery site with a temporary tooth. The patient can have their final crown within eight weeks.

Comeaux Dental, in The Woodlands & Spring, uses these advances along with advanced CAT scan technology and sophisticated surgical planning software. This creates an optimal patient experience.

Why choose a tooth implant over a supported bridge?

A tooth-supported bridge can be a good option, but it has some disadvantages that are not present in a dental implant. To cement a three-unit bridge, the dentist will need to remove the enamel from the adjacent teeth. These teeth can become decayed. Human bone requires force to keep it healthy and in its place. A three-unit bridge replaces the missing tooth with a floating tooth suspended between two crowns. This is known as a Pontic. The Pontic doesn't apply any force to the bone and the bone will melt over time. This can cause destabilization of adjacent teeth, hygiene problems, and cosmetic issues

Implants, on the other hand, recreate the natural anatomy of the bone and apply force to it. This helps to keep the bone in its natural place. This allows the dentist to treat adjacent teeth without affecting them.

Research shows that tooth-supported bridges often fail in 15 years. However, most implants last a lifetime when properly integrated. The dental implant is the best choice for most people. It offers a lifetime value, no bone loss, cosmetic appearance, and the ability to not have to grind down healthy nearby teeth.

A patient has two options. The removable bridge is the most popular option. It is only used for temporary purposes by most dentists. Its only disadvantage is its price. A Maryland bridge, or resin bonded, is the second. Although this solution leaves the adjacent teeth unaffected, it can often cause damage and need to be rebonded. They do not address bone loss.

At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group we practice restorative dentistry. Understanding how essential your teeth are to the overall health of your mouth, jawbone, and body, we seek to restore and preserve your teeth whenever possible. If you live in The Woodlands or Spring Area and damage any of your teeth, we encourage you to call one of our local neighborhood offices and schedule an immediate appointment.

We will examine you and determine the best way to save your natural tooth and prevent it from needing to be pulled. Using the latest in dental technology, we can quickly and painlessly diagnose and treat your condition.  This is possible if you visit our office quickly and don’t delay. The more extensive the damage is, or the more infected your tooth becomes, the more challenging it can be to save it, making it imperative that you seek us out quickly. Our staff is friendly and accommodating, and we will do whatever we can to get your appointment scheduled for a time that is convenient for you.

Restorative Dentistry for Kids

While most adults are familiar with restorative dentistry, these solutions are also available for kids. If you have an elementary-age child or teenager, remember that their permanent teeth are the only teeth that they will ever have. If they damage one while playing sports or swinging on the monkey bars – give us a call.

At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group we can restore their teeth using a variety of methods and the sooner, the better. As with most things, if we can correct the damage quickly, there is a reduced risk of the site becoming infected or the damage spreading. With younger kids, we typically recommend a bonding procedure because we can complete it quickly, and it is non-invasive.

With bonding, a tooth-colored material is applied to the tooth and shaped. Once it looks perfect, we will use a dental light to harden it. The results look natural, and your child will be able to have a newly restored tooth in one visit. This is a painless procedure, which also makes it beneficial for both children and adults. The one challenge to be aware of is that their teeth may continue to grow and if so, the restored tooth may appear shorter and need to be touched up when they become an adult.

As experts in restorative dentistry, we can help them now and in the future. If someone in your family has a damaged tooth, give us a call to book your appointment at either The Woodlands or Spring Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group locations so that we can restore it to full functionality.

Restorative Dentistry for Seniors

At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group we treat seniors throughout The Woodlands & Spring Area. We have found that many seniors assume that they will experience tooth loss and don’t attempt restorations when their teeth become damaged or infected. This is a mistake.

Whenever possible, we recommend that you save your natural teeth. Whether you live in the locally in the The Woodlands / Spring area or across the country, restorative dentistry plays a critical role in the health of your mouth and jaw. This is true for everyone and especially for seniors.

Most seniors, especially women, tend to experience some type of bone loss; the severity of which is highly dependent on a person's’ health history, diet, and whether or not they exercise. Bone loss can lead to an increased risk of breaking bones, a loss of height and a change in appearance. This is particularly true when it comes to your facial appearance. Your natural teeth provide stimulation and stregthen your jawbone.

Every time that you bite down and chew, your bone is being utilized, and the body supports it as such. If you start to lose teeth, the body may stop supporting the jawbone in that particular area because the stimulation will be lost. In this scenario, resorption starts to occur, and the body begins to take the calcium away from the jaw and feed it to other areas of the body. This can alter how a person appears and create an almost sunken-in facial appearance.

When we save a damaged or infected tooth, we are not only saving the tooth but also preserving the health and integrity of the jawbone and, therefore, your appearance. If you are a senior living in The Woodlands / Spring Area, don’t take your teeth for granted. Call us at the first sign of damage or infection so that we can save your teeth and restore them to good health.

Immediate Restorations

If you have damaged a tooth and need it to be restored quickly, you need immediate dental restorations. Perhaps the fastest procedure we offer is dental bonding because it can be completed in one visit. This, however, is not the best solution for everyone. We also offer dental veneers and dental crowns. A veneer is a thin shell that is placed on the surface of your tooth and works to correct a chipped or cracked tooth. A crown surrounds your tooth like a cap and is more effective if there is extensive damage or a loss of enamel.

While both require two visits to one of our The Woodlands or Spring dental office, we can provide you with a temporary veneer or crown on your first visit so that your smile is restored, and you can begin to eat soft foods again.

After the second visit, where your permanent veneer or crown is placed, you will be able to eat all types of food again without fear of discomfort. By using a two-step process, we can ensure that you have a temporary and permanent solution for restoring your damaged tooth.

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is critical not only to the health of your teeth and gums but to your overall health. By taking the proper steps to prevent dental issues from arising, you are saving yourself from problems and costly dental treatment in the future. Early detection is the key to our process at Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group. The earlier problems are caught, the more options you have for treating them and the greater the prognosis. Continue reading to learn more about the importance of preventing gum disease and cavities.

Preventing Gum Disease

Proper oral hygiene, daily dental care and regular dental checkups will minimize the risk of gum disease. Gum disease ranges from mild (gingivitis) to moderate or severe periodontitis. Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group offers treatments are available for every case of gum disease.

Common problems associated with gum disease:

• “Long” teeth (receding gum lines expose the root portions of your teeth)
• Discolored or deteriorating tooth structure
• Blunted Gums (spaces in between the teeth in the gum tissue)
• Infected gum line (discoloration or inflammation of the gum tissue, bleeding gums, tenderness)
• Tooth loss or tooth mobility

The effects of gum disease can be damaging to your dental health. However, through proper preventive care and oral hygiene, you can avoid problems associated with gum disease.

Routine Teeth Cleanings

One of the most common questions we receive is, “How often should I get my teeth cleaned?”  We recommend routine teeth cleaning every six months. During your visit, one of our dental hygienists will remove plaque from your teeth, especially from places where your brush can’t reach, such as underneath the gum line and in-between teeth. We will then polish your teeth and apply fluoride to help protect your teeth once you leave the office.

If you are due for your dental cleaning, please call either our Spring or The Woodlands offices for Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group to schedule your appointment.
