Dental implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement because they are stable, long-lasting, and similar to our natural tooth structure. While bridges and dentures restore aesthetics and some function, implants closely replicate the feel, look, and function of natural teeth.

Dental Implants in Mesquite, TX

At Mesquite Dental Suite, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant solutions. Our skilled team understands the importance of having a smile that looks good, feels natural, and functions effectively.

Understanding the Dental Implant Difference

• Long-Lasting — Dental implants fuse with your jawbone and stay securely in place for many years. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, unlike bridges or dentures, which might need replacements or adjustments over the years.
• Jawbone health — An implant prevents jawbone loss, which often occurs after tooth loss. This helps maintain your facial structure and prevent the "sunken" appearance common with prolonged denture use.
• Comfort and function — Unlike removable dentures, implants allow you to eat, speak, and laugh without worrying about shifting or embarrassing slips.
• Aesthetics — Bridges and dentures replace the tooth's visible part, but implants replace the root and crown for the most natural appearance possible.

What's the Best Tooth Replacement for You?

If you are considering tooth replacement, we would love to explain the benefits of dental implants. Please call Mesquite Dental Suite to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. 

Even if your teeth feel fine, we strongly recommend routine checkups. These appointments allow us to prevent potential issues, detect hidden problems early, and ensure the health of your teeth and gums.

Your Partners in Dental Health

At Mesquite Dental Suite, we emphasize the importance of preventative care. Often, dental issues can develop beneath the surface or between teeth, where you may not notice them. 

By the time symptoms develop, the problem might have advanced and require more involved treatments. That’s why these regular checkups are your first line of defense in maintaining optimal oral health.

The Importance of Regular Dental Checkups

Early Detection of Dental Issues

A professional can spot signs of cavities and gum disease before they become severe. Early detection often means simpler, less invasive treatments.

Professional Teeth Cleanings

Even conscientious brushing and flossing can leave plaque buildup in hard-to-reach areas and turn into tartar. During your checkup, our dental hygienists provide a thorough cleaning to remove these build-ups and reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease.

Gum Health Evaluation

Healthy gums are the foundation for healthy teeth. With routine dental cleanings, we can spot early signs of gum diseases like gingivitis, which can be reversed if caught early.

Maintaining Previous Dental Work

If you have fillings, crowns, implants, or other dental work, regular checkups ensure they are in good shape and functioning correctly.

Schedule Your Next Dental Checkup with Us

If you would like to take a proactive approach and schedule your next exam and teeth cleaning, we invite you to contact our Mesquite, TX, dental office for an appointment.

The secret to completing Invisalign® treatment as quickly as possible is compliance. It is crucial to wear your aligners for the recommended 22 hours daily to ensure you’re always making progress. 

Invisalign in Mesquite, TX

Mesquite Dental Suite is pleased to offer Invisalign treatment to give you a discreet, comfortable, and efficient alternative to traditional braces. Following the guidelines below will keep your treatment on track and ensure the most efficient results. 

Maximizing Your Invisalign Treatment

Consistent wear — Ideally, you should aim to wear your clear aligners 22 hours daily, removing them only for meals, drinking beverages other than water, and oral hygiene routines.

Regular progress checks — Be sure to attend your scheduled check-ups so our dentists can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Regular visits also mean timely transitions to your next set of aligners.

Avoid skipping aligners — Stick to the sequence provided, and don't skip any aligners, as they are designed to move your teeth gradually and in a specific order.

Protect your aligners — Use the provided cases to store your aligners when not in use. This prevents damage and loss.

Ready for a Clear Path to a Straight Smile?

If you are considering Invisalign or have questions about ongoing treatment, your Mesquite Dental Suite team is here to help you. Don’t hesitate to contact us with your questions or to schedule an appointment.

At Mesquite Dental Suite, we offer a range of sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, to ensure your comfort during dental procedures.

Your Comfort Matters at Mesquite Dental Suite

Dental anxiety is a genuine concern for many people, and our goal is to ensure your visits are as relaxed and comfortable as possible. We are pleased to offer several sedation options tailored to different anxiety levels.

Sedation Dentistry in Mesquite, TX

Also referred to as sleep dentistry, our options include:

Nitrous Oxide

Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask. It helps to ease minor anxieties and provides a calm, relaxed feeling of well-being and comfort. The effects of nitrous wear off quickly after the procedure.

Oral Conscious Sedation

This method involves taking a prescribed sedative pill about an hour before your procedure. While fully conscious, you will feel very relaxed and drowsy and might not remember much about your visit.

IV Sedation

With IV (intravenous) sedation, we administer a relaxing medication directly into the bloodstream. It is ideal for severe dental anxiety or undergoing longer procedures. You'll be in a state of deep relaxation but will remain responsive to our team.

Anxiety-Free Dentistry in Mesquite, TX

If dental anxiety stands in the way of getting the dental care you need, sedation dentistry at our Mesquite, TX, dental office may be the solution. Please call us if you have questions or need to schedule an appointment.

Common signs indicating the need to remove wisdom teeth include pain at the back of the mouth, swelling, gum inflammation, difficulty opening the mouth, and signs of infection like pus.

Our Wisdom Teeth Evaluation

Our dentists in Mesquite, TX, combine their expertise with technology to evaluate the position and health of your wisdom teeth. We offer tooth extraction when necessary and can even remove impacted wisdom teeth. 

Here are some symptoms to watch for:

Pain and discomfort — A telltale symptom is persistent pain at the back of your mouth. This could be due to the wisdom tooth erupting through the gum or misalignment, placing pressure on adjacent teeth.

Swelling and inflammation — Jaw swelling or inflamed gums can indicate infected or impacted wisdom teeth. 

Limited mouth movement — Difficulty or pain when opening your mouth could be related to wisdom teeth growth.

A Proactive Approach to Oral Health

You may never experience issues with your wisdom teeth, but it's good to be aware that they can cause complications, from crowding of the teeth to impaction. Regular dental examinations allow us to identify potential issues before they worsen and address them promptly.

Mesquite Dental Suite is here to assist if you're experiencing any symptoms mentioned above or simply want a comprehensive oral health evaluation, including your wisdom teeth. Contact our dedicated team in Mesquite, TX, to ensure your dental well-being is in expert hands.
