Lake Travis Fit Expo at the Lake Travis High School

Local Lakeway Dentist, Dr. Tejas Patel attended The Lake Travis Fit Expo today. It was a great event put on by Lake Travis ISD and held at the Lake Travis High School. They had different tables set up that taught the kids about health, nutrition, physical activity, gardening and much more! They also had a activity area which got all the kids to burn off some energy!! Each table gave a stamp on a passport once you completed an activity. Once you collected eight stamps, you got a prize! It was a lot of fun!

Lakeway Clear Braces

Invisalign is a great way to not only get teeth straighter but to help with the health of the teeth. We're about to start Invisalign for one our guests because she's bothered by always catching food and shredding floss on her bottom teeth. She feels like her teeth have shifted and have gotten more and more crooked over time. Her bottom front teeth are crowded and hard to clean because there are many difficult to reach areas. She's pretty happy with her smile, but wants to make sure her teeth stay healthy. At a younger age she lost a molar, because growing up that was the only option for a "bad" tooth.
By having the teeth straighter, her teeth will be easier to clean, therefore helping to keep the gums healthy. Unhealthy gums can lead to gum disease, infection, and tooth loss. So for our patient, Invisalign and Clear Braces will help get her teeth not only straighter and looking better, but also more importantly for her --healthier!! So of you're in Lakeway, Tx or Austin, Tx and you are interested in Clear Braces, give us a call!

Sedation Dentistry in Lakeway

At our office we believe in making our guests comfortable. Everyday we get to help guests of our office get healthy and smile even more! Many of our guests are very fearful and anxious about visiting the dental office. Most often this is due to negative dental experiences in the past. Also, some people are fearful because they feel like they've put off going to the dentist or haven't taken as good care of their teeth as they should have been. This results in a situation where they feel like there's too many problems or issues to fix.
Sedation Dentistry is great for those who are fearful and anxious for whatever reason. We prescribe a medication that makes you very sleepy through the procedure. This allows us to accomplish more in one visit than usual, so we can actually minimize the number of visits it takes to achieve your oral health goals.
So if you're in Austin Tx or Lakeway Tx and you've been putting off going to the Dentist, and are interested in Sedation Dentistry, give us a call. We'll help you snooze through your dental appointments.
