Look Younger, Feel Confident with a Whiter Smile

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

We all want a smile that dazzles, but it’s hard to keep teeth their whitest and brightest. Coffee, tea, tobacco, and medications can be hard on teeth, tinting them with yellow- and orange-colored stains. Even things we have no control over, like the natural aging process, can rob smiles of their brilliance.

Dr. Berlin here. At my McKinney dental offices, my team and I offer two ways to safely, effectively return a youthful glow to smiles that need a little help. Our in-office and take-home teeth bleaching methods remove stains and discolorations to reveal fantastic smiles. Teeth whitening works. Find out for yourself how a trip to the dentist can result in a confidence-inspiring smile!

Our teeth whitening systems work by penetrating tooth enamel (the hard outer layer) and dentin (the layer of material that supports enamel) to target stains and discolorations. Dentist-administered teeth whitening is one of the most popular and safest dental procedures available.

We Take the Fear Out of Dental Visits

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Do you put off going to the dentist because of fear or anxiety? Does your heart pound at the mere mention of a dental appointment? I’m Dr. Marvin Berlin, and I understand. Lots of people experience dental anxiety. For some, the condition is minor.

During your first phone call or visit to our office, let us know if you’re a fearful patient. We’ll discuss your concerns and determine if sedation dentistry is right for you. At McKinneyDentist.com, your comfort comes first. My associates and I offer safe, effective sedation methods to eliminate fear and create a quiet sense of calm. (more…)

No More Numb Face for McKinney Dentist Patients

Friday, June 4th, 2010

After a dental procedure that requires local anesthetic, you probably want to get right back to work, school, or your day’s agenda. But with a numb face, you feel kind of weird in public. You could drool or try to speak and completely embarrass yourself.

Not any more.

I’m Dr. Berlin, and at my McKinney dental office, we’re using the innovative new drug, OraVerse, to reverse dental numbness quickly and effectively. I love to bring new products – those that are proven to be beneficial – to my patients. OraVerse is just one more way we at McKinney Dentist give patients a comfortable and rewarding visit.

Let me tell you a little bit about OraVerse.

  • Works on appropriate cases for adults and children over six years old
  • Clinical name is phentolamine mesylate
  • The only drug of its kind
  • Injected into numbed tissue, so you won’t feel the stick
  • Works in about an hour, cutting recovery time by approximately 50%
  • Reduces the potential for self harm (biting and chewing cheeks, tongue, etc.)
  • In a study by the manufacturer, 86% of participants said OraVerse improved their experience; 82% would recommend OraVerse to friends and family (more…)

What is a Same-Day Crown?

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Dr. Marvin Berlin here, and I want to talk to you about an exciting new technology that has transformed the dental crown procedure. If you had a crown placed just a few years ago, or in many dental offices today, you probably had two appointments. At the first visit, the dentist prepared your tooth, took an impression (with a gummy material that probably made you gag), and then secured a temporary crown to your damaged tooth.

You went home and may have had trouble with that temporary crown falling out or cracking. Many times, a person has to go back to the dentist to have a temporary crown replaced. All of this occurred while a dental lab fabricated your permanent crown.

Once the lab’s restoration was received by the dental office, you had another appointment. The dentist removed your temporary and cemented the permanent crown in place. Let’s just hope it fitted, or it’s back to a temporary while the lab makes a new restoration.

Sheesh. What a process! I understand the frustration of such a lengthy procedure. So I searched high and low for an alternative that would make your life easier. Found it! (more…)
