Teeth Whitening in Austin Tx

Having a whiter, brighter smile can do wonders! Did you know that getting your teeth whitened by laser whitening or porcelain veneers can take years off your smile? Did you also know that when Hollywood actors get a role in which they're playing someone older they work on staining their teeth. And if they're playing a role where they're supposed to be younger the first thing they do is whiten their teeth! Improving discolored teeth literally can take years off some one's face. We've seen it over and over where either by teeth whitening, porcelain veneers for a full smile makeover, or even just fixing one or a few front teeth, can just transform a smile! Call Austin & Lakeway Dentist - Tejas Patel DDS if you have questions about improving your smile at 512-263-8337.

Laser Dentistry and Laser Periodontal Treatment

We're excited to announce that our Dental Hygienist is now certified to perform Laser Periodontal and other treatments. In our Austin & Lakeway Dental office we've been using a soft tissue laser to perform various procedures like laser gum contouring for gummy smiles, cosmetic gum procedures, and frenectomy procedures for braces/orthodontic treatment. Now we're offering laser treatment for the following:
•Treating of Aphtous Ulcers and Herpetic Lesions
•Reducing bacteria associated with gum disease and helping sterilize the gum pockets after periodontal treatment
The laser helps get rid of the bacteria that causes gum disease so it helps with better healing and better results of our gum/ periodontal treatments. For fever blisters or ulcers it helps speed up the healing time and helps reduce the irritation.
For gum treatments it also helps prevent post operative soreness and bleeding.
Call 512-263-8337 to find out more about this great technology.

Dental Implants Austin, Tx- Lakeway Before and after Photos by Implant ...


Here's a link to a before and after video on dental implants. Our patients went from missing teeth to getting teeth replacements!
What a difference that dental implants can make! From closing spaces, to getting teeth back that can help with chewing, there are so many benefits! Dental Implants are great as well because they are fixed into place and don't need to be removed. They're a great permanent replacement for a single missing tooth, to several missing teeth, or a whole row of missing teeth.
Dental implants are also a great option for teeth that are severely broken or infected that can't be saved.
