Need General Dentistry in Dallas, TX?
Welcome to Dental Dimensions
Quality care. Cool office aesthetics. And a dentist who moonlights as a DJ!
Earning Trust – One Patient at a Time
From the moment you walk in the door, our first goal is to earn your trust. Dr. Bishop believes that the absolute best dentistry we can provide will only occur when there is a strong bond of trust with our patients. After all, we’re all working together toward the common goal of healthy teeth and gums and a beautiful smile.
A Healthy Smile,
A Healthy Body
Did you know that the cause of most tooth loss is not decay? It’s gum disease. And recent studies have established that there’s a link between gum disease and your overall health. The good news is that gum disease can be treated successfully by Dr. Bishop, often without surgery. Our commitment to you includes paying meticulous attention to your needs for healthy teeth and gums so you not only look your best but also have optimum overall health.
Comfortable & Effective Teeth Cleaning
Your hygiene is about more than making sure your breath is fresh. We offer professional teeth cleanings to help you prevent serious dental issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, AND bad breath. These cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to enhance your smile and improve your oral health.
No More Mercury or Metal
For years, silver-mercury amalgam was the standard filling material used in dental practices, and many practices still use it. While it is a reasonable restoration, Dental Dimensions only offers metal-free restorations that are natural-looking white and can actually strengthen teeth. They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of the tooth, so there is much less chance of decay in the future.
Sedation Dentistry
While we take great pride in delivering painless injections (and an awesome environment), some of our patients are naturally anxious at the thought of a needle. We understand, and we want to make your treatment completely fear-free! Our sedation options, such as nitrous oxide, help you relax throughout your treatment to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
If you or a loved one find yourself falling asleep during the day, or snoring loudly or having interrupted breathing during sleep, it may be sleep apnea. For those who have been diagnosed with this condition, modern dentistry has new treatment options such as oral appliances. These have been successful for over 90% of the patients who use them and are an alternative to CPAP machines. Ask us about this treatment and start getting the rest you deserve.
Minimize The Risk of Oral Cancer
It’s an often unknown statistic that oral cancer causes one American death every hour. For 40 years, this mortality rate hasn’t changed. But it’s not all bad news. Early detection means a 90% cure rate for oral cancer. That’s why we conduct a visual screening for oral cancer at every six-month checkup and cleaning. If the hygienist or doctor sees anything that gives them cause for concern, they’ll refer you to an oral surgeon. This screening could literally save your life!
Fast Numbness Reversal
When a patient leaves the dental chair after routine care, they are often “numb” for 3 to 5 hours. What if that didn’t have to happen anymore? We are very pleased to offer our patients OraVerse™ anesthesia reversal. It takes about fifteen minutes to get back to normal. So if the thought of being numb for hours after your treatment makes you uncomfortable – we can take care of that for you!
Protect Your Teeth During Sports
Did you know that 5 million teeth are knocked out each year in the United States alone? Many sports can be dangerous without the proper protection. The one-size-fits-all mouthguards found in stores just don’t fit very well. Custom-made sports mouthguards fit well, protect well, and can be worn for any sport.
In-House Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is extensively damaged or infected, or if third molars are impacted, tooth extraction is the solution to the problem. We do most extractions in our office, so you will not be inconvenienced by a referral to another office. Our compassion will make you feel comfortable in our care for this treatment. Book today to see why patients choose our dentist in Dallas, Dr. Bishop.
Technology:
Intra-Oral Camera
The cosmetic dentist works hand-in-hand with patients to create a bond of teamwork. The amazing intra-oral camera is a miniature video camera that displays a close-up picture of the inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be done and which teeth are doing fine. You then become a participant in each dental decision. You’ll love how this works!
Technology:
Digital X-Rays
Traditional dental X-rays have been “good enough,” but digital X-rays immediately provide clearer, much more accurate pictures of what’s going on inside a patient’s mouth. We can also view your entire mouth in one shot, including the upper and lower jaws, with panoramic digital images. These methods result in 75% less radiation than conventional X-rays. No more waiting for images to develop and no more chemical waste to pollute the environment.
Make Your Oral Health a Priority
We want to emphasize the vital role our general dentistry, in Dallas, TX, plays in your everyday life. From regular check-ups and cavity fillings to more complex procedures like root canal treatments, your oral health is intertwined with your overall wellness. Whether it’s offering a comforting hand during a child’s first dental visit, helping an adult maintain their dental hygiene, or restoring the beautiful smile of an elderly patient, Dr. Bishop and his caring team can assist.
