Dental Bonding: Your Answer to a Beautiful Smile
Dental bonding is a procedure where a dentist reconstructs, reshapes, and conceals tooth defects using composite resins, which are the same color as the tooth. People who have chipped their tooth somehow visit Dentist Spring to get this emergency procedure done quickly.
To save your smile, the dentist will proceed to create a replacement part of the tooth, matching the color of the chipped tooth, and make it whole again. The procedure only takes about forty-five minutes so you will be in and out swiftly.
More about Dental Bonding
If your tooth is chipped, decayed, broken, or discolored, the dentist will use dental bonding to rectify the problem. As stated above, the dentist will take composite resin to reconstruct the tooth, making sure the shape, size, and color do not deviate from the actual tooth. For a detailed look at how Dentist Spring performs dental bonding, look below:
1. Prepping You Up for the Procedure
If you have a chipped tooth, you will not require any extensive prepping. In most cases, you do not even need a dose of anesthesia. If your tooth is badly damaged, there is fracture near the nerve, or the tooth is sensitive, you will be required to undergo anesthesia. After the reason of why you need dental bonding is established, the dentist will choose a color for the composite resin that best matches the color of your teeth.
2. The Procedure Begins
The dentist will roughen the surface of the tooth and apply phosphoric acid to it. The phosphoric acid will remove the debris and open small bubbles to allow the false teeth to bond to the existing one. The dentist will apply a primer to wet the area and enable the adhesive to flow into the small tubules. After that, the dentist will apply adhesive bonding agent to allow everything to bond securely with each other. At last, the dentist will apply composite resin, blend it, and double-check it to make sure everything is in order.
3. The Final Check
Once the dentist is satisfied with his/her handy work, he/she will put you through another test called the bite test. The dentist will tell you to bite down on something to check if your all your teeth are biting uniformly.
The dental bonding procedure takes up to forty-five minutes, but depending on the extent of your chip or tooth decay, the time can extend to an hour. At Dentist Spring, we will ensure no one will be able to tell your fake teeth from your real one.
With our expert and highly qualified dentists in Saifee Family Dentistry, you will be in capable hands. If you think you might be interested in getting the dental bonding procedure done, contact us so we can tell you if the procedure is right for you or if another dental procedure will suit your needs.
Whatever you do, do not keep us waiting for that call, as the longer you make us wait, the longer you will have to go without a great smile!

Why You Should Not Take Gum Disease Lightly?
Do not laugh off gum disease, as it is no joke, but a serious problem that can trigger a variety of diseases. Particularly, it can give way to heart disease, diabetes, premature birth, and chronic health problems. Instead of waiting for the other diseases to show up, Dentist Spring suggests you treat the disease you can. You should not neglect the signs of gum or periodontal disease, but visit us as soon as you spot the following signs:
Are any of the above mentioned signs familiar to you? If you recognize any of these symptoms, you need to schedule an appointment with Dentist Spring to have one of our qualified dentists have a look at your teeth and stop gum disease from becoming worse.
What is Gum Disease and How Treating it Prevents Other Diseases?
The first occurrence of gum disease is when plaque —a bacteria-laden and sticky film— forms around your teeth. According to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 339,000 people reported to have gum disease and their delayed response to receive treatment led them to develop Type 2 diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, or complications at birth.
They also reported that people who did manage to receive treatment for gum disease on time made fewer visits to the hospitals. Moreover, their hospital bill was quite less too. People who have gum disease should immediately visit a dentist. People who do not have gum disease may increase their chance of getting it if they have bad dental hygiene habits.
What is the Treatment for Gum Disease?
Dentist Spring advises people to regularly brush and floss their teeth, and keep up with their dental visits. If all the signs of gum disease are there, as it is too late to prevent it, you can reverse the problem by visiting the dentist. The dentist will clean below and above the gum line. This is known as scaling and root planning (SRP). To clean the teeth, dentists will use a dental cleaning tool called scalers to scrape the plaque away.
What Will Happen If You Do Not Treat It?
Failure to visit Dentist Spring will cause your gums to pull back from the teeth’s root. This will create a small pocket, which with time, will widen. The inflammation and infection will spread causing your tooth to fall out. If you already have chronic health problems, they will worsen if you leave gum disease untreated.
Stop ignoring the signs of gum disease and do something about it. Contact Saifee Family Dentistry to find out the extent of the damage caused to your teeth by gum disease. We will reverse the damage and have your teeth shining like new, but you have to promise us to take care of your smile afterwards.
· Red, tender, or swollen gums
· Bleeding gums
· Pus located between the gums and the teeth
· Foul breath
· Formation of brown deposits in the gum line
· Loose or gaps between teeth because they are moving away from each other
· Unable to fit dental appliances properly as before

Reveal Your Smile with Invisalign
It is never too late to correct your smile, but the idea of wearing metal on one’s teeth dissuades most from pursuing it. There reason being that they are not in middle or high school anymore; they are a grown adult working in an office environment. However, these days, even the young folks are not big fans of wearing the metal thing in their mouth. Do away with braces, they say!
Their crooked or misaligned teeth force them to visit Dentist Spring to consult about the very thing despise, and this goes for both adults and kids. When they show their displeasure, we tell them about Invisalign or as we like to call it here, your perfect solution! Here are some of things we tell our patients about Invisalign:
1. Acts as a Protective Gear for Your Mouth
After you are done wearing Invisalign for dental cosmetic purposes, you can use it as a protective gear for your teeth. You can wear it at night to prevent you from grinding your teeth, to keep them straight, and to whiten them. They also work as a mouthguard during sporting events. Now, that is money well spent!
2. Increases the Effectiveness of Dental Cleanings
If you used to go for dental cleanings to your dentist before, do you remember how long it took him/her to clean your teeth. With crooked and chipped teeth, dentists find it harder to clean the buildup of bacteria and plague from the teeth.
Although they manage, not all the bacteria and plague is removed successfully. By wearing the clear braces, your teeth will straighten, aligning properly. All your future dental cleanings will be quicker and more effective than before.
3. Reduces Food Impaction
Don’t you hate it when food is stuck in your teeth? The situation of food being lodged in your teeth is worse when you are at a restaurant. The only way to remove it is to use your tongue, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, or use a toothpick to get out the food. Only then, you will be able to enjoy your evening. The longer the food stays stuck in the teeth, the greater harm it will do to your gums. If you do not want to metal, Dentist Spring recommends you to get Invisalign.
4. Heals Jaw, Neck, and Facial Pain
If you suffer from the symptoms of TMD, you want to consider wearing Invisalign, as they will relieve the symptoms associated with it. If you have the habit of grinding your teeth or have sore facial muscles, Invisalign is an option you should seek out.
5. Improves Gum Positioning and Bone Architecture
Crooked teeth affect the bone architecture and gum positioning, which means that you bone will also be crooked and in the long run, it will lead to complications.
Saifee Family Dentistry welcomes you to visit its practice to learn more about the advantages of wearing Invisalign. Make an appointment with Dentist Spring and have your smile back.

Why People Hesitate to Get Root Canal?
Why do people run away screaming when they hear the word root canal? At Dentist Spring, we have seen patients who hesitate and are unwilling to go through the procedure of a root canal. Even though they ultimately go through with the procedure, some still act wary. We attribute their distrustful attitude towards the root canal procedure to the common myths they might have heard growing up.
We are here to dispel some of those myths to help people deal with the possibility that the only way out of the pain is to get a root canal. Here are four myths that have sprout up overtime:
1. Root Canal is a Painful Procedure
People who do not have a tolerance for pain are the first ones to get out of the dental clinic, and never look back, until the toothache becomes too grave to handle. Don’t you see the irony of it all! Root canal is performed on a person to alleviate pain yet, people fear the procedure because of the pain. Our dentists will numb the area around your tooth so you feel the minimalist amount of pain when we perform the procedure. If you get it performed sooner, we might be even able to save your tooth.
2. Root Canal Will Make You Sick
Some people make the argument that root canal promotes the occurrence of health risks such as kidney disease, heart disease, and more. None of that it true though. You would be at risk of developing diseases and infections if you went to a dental clinic that did not use quality and standard procedures during the root canal. Dentist Spring can assure you that we only use the best and most modern tools to ease the pain.
3. Root Canal is Not Needed, as There is No Pain
The excruciating pain associated with an infected tooth can lead to several sleepless night, but why even let it get to that point. If you regularly visit your dentist for cleaning and examination, he/she will be able to catch the signs of tooth decay early on. If your dentist recommends you to get a root canal, you listen to him/her, even if your tooth has not begun to pain yet.
4. Root Canal Takes a Long Time
Most people tend to skip the root canal procedure because they think that it takes a long time and they do not have the time to make all the routinely visits to the dental clinic. It usually takes only visit to complete the root canal procedure, but it also depends on the number of teeth that require the procedure. After the main procedure is completed, you will only be requested to come back for a follow-up visit so the dentist can see that everything is normal.
For all your dental problems, visit Saifee Family Dentistry. Have a word with one of our qualified dentists at Dentist Spring to educate yourself on the benefits of getting a root canal done sooner than later.

Taking the guesswork out of cosmetic dentistry.
At Saifee Family Dental, we know the importance of a healthy smile. That’s why we make sure that we have the most up-to-date techniques available to help you put your best smile forward and improve your confidence and self-esteem.
We’ve been meeting the dental health needs of Spring TX since 2000, and during that time we’ve established ourselves as one of the premier dental offices in the area. Our knowledgeable, friendly staff is always available to answer your questions and help you decide what is best for you, and meets your budget needs.
Veneers.
Veneers are thin sheets of porcelain that are placed over the surface of your teeth, restoring your smile to its’ natural beauty. They work well for teeth that are misshapen, discolored, chipped or misaligned, and can be matched to the color of your other teeth.
Veneers can also be used for teeth that are yellowed or stained, from coffee, tea, and medications such as tetracycline or smoking. Your dentist will do an examination and then spend some time talking with you about your expectations, the realities of what veneers can do for you, and how they will affect your overall smile. With good oral health care, veneers can last 10 years or more.
Lumineers.
Lumineers are contact-lens thin veneers that can be applied to your teeth with no grinding, drilling, shots or pain. They can be used to correct noticeable gaps in teeth, lengthen short teeth, correct broken or misshapen teeth and correct yellowing or discoloration.
Dental Bonding.
Dental bonding is a procedure that allows the dentist to apply a tooth-colored resin material to your teeth that is then hardened or “cured” with a special light. Often used in fillings, it can also be used for cosmetic purposes to correct issues such as receding gums, chipped or cracked teeth and permanent discoloration.
Snap-on-Smile.
Snap-on-Smile is a patented, painless way to obtain a flawless smile. Developed by a dentist who realized that not everyone can afford the expense of veneers, this easy system fits right over your existing teeth and allows you to eat, drink and speak just as normally as you would if you weren’t wearing anything. The best part is that no one will realize that you’re wearing them—they’ll just see your beautiful smile!
Zoom Whitening.
Sometimes, all your teeth need to be returned to their natural beauty is to be whitened. With Philips Zoom, a professional system that your dentist performs in the office, you’ll have whiter teeth and a dazzling smile in just one visit…up to eight shades whiter. If you prefer to take your treatments home, both day and night versions are available to meet your needs.
Dental Implants.
Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. The dentist places a titanium post into the bone and attaches a replacement tooth to it, eliminating the need for dentures or partials, and giving you a natural looking solution.
Call us at (281) 350-5600 and let our friendly staff schedule an appointment to discuss your cosmetic dentistry needs today!
