Logical Approach
An important part of providing great dental care is making sure patients understand their options. We don’t expect you to blindly trust us. Instead, we want to empower you to make wise, informed decisions about your oral health. Dr. Ellis and our team are happy to answer questions, provide diagrams and explanations of procedrues, and partner with you to develop a treatment plan that will meet all of your needs. Explore the following resources for good information about dental care, treatment, procedures, and problems, and feel free to call our Missouri City office if you have questions or concerns.
What are my options for orthodontic treatment as an adult?
Dr. Ellis respects the professional, mature image you’ve created for yourself. She offers ClearCorrect, a series of clear acrylic aligners to reposition teeth in less time than traditional orthodontics. ClearCorrect aligners are also removable, which means you can take them out to clean your teeth, eat a meal, and for special occasions. Other options to improve the appearance of crooked teeth include porcelain veneers and cosmetic bonding. At your cosmetic dentistry consultation, Dr. Ellis will present you with options, explanations, and her professional opinion regarding the best solution for your smile and your lifestyle.
How can Dr. Ellis ensure my comfort during procedures?
In addition to a caring, compassionate chairside manner, Dr. Ellis and our team offer various forms of sedation and anesthesia. Depending upon your treatment and preferences, the dentist may recommend nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, or a combination of these for a more intensive effect. Your comfort is always priority to our staff.
What is a cosmetic dentist?
The American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty, so any general dentist can assume the title. As a consumer, you should evaluate your dentist’s portfolio, experience, and education in cosmetic dentistry before agreeing to treatment. Dr. Ellis will be happy to talk with you about cosmetic dental care, providing options and explanations for your unique concerns.
