Anti-Aging Dentistry
Marlo Griesser, D.D.S.
Restoring healthy dentition and a youthful smile can take years off a person’s overall facial appearance. As a restorative dentist, Dr. Marlo Griesser finds
that patients appear older when they have been grinding or clenching their
teeth, slowly shearing away millimeters of healthy enamel. What happens is that
the teeth now appear shorter and a loss of anatomy occurs, resulting in a
sagging, wrinkled facial appearance. When smiling or speaking, it appears as
though no upper teeth are present.
To confirm this, Dr. Griesser can take a vertical dimension measurement from the
tip of the nose to the bottom of the chin. This distance decreases with an
aging face and reduced teeth. With non-surgical restorative dentistry, she
rebuilds the loss of the enamel and builds the anatomy of your teeth as it was
25 years ago using porcelain crowns or Durathin veneers. The longer teeth will
increase the vertical dimension giving a less sagging appearance around the
face and mouth, which instantly rejuvenates the smile. Also, speech and
swallowing become more clear, and chewing and stability of the jaw is improved.
In many cases headaches and neck discomfort disappear. Anti-aging dentistry is
also a powerful motivator in sexual attraction, being more competitive in the
workforce, and increasing the sense of well-being and self-esteem.

Dental Implants Secure
a Beautiful Smile!
Keith Von Boeckmann,
D.D.S., F.A.G.D.
Are you missing teeth? Do you have trouble eating? Have you been told that you
simply don
’t have bone to hold your denture? Implant dentistry can help you live life to
the fullest and create a radiant smile that you deserve.
Dental implants provide patients with a foundation for chewing food they desire.
Implants look completely natural, save supporting bone and prevent further bone
loss. Patients will once again be able to eat anything they want without being
forced to resort to hard to clean bridges or messy denture adhesives. Dental
implants are a smart investment and a reliable solution to beautiful, fully
functional and stable teeth.
Dr. Von Boeckmann has extensive experience in full-mouth reconstruction, dental
implants and smile makeovers. Dr. Von Boeckmann has been awarded his fellowship
to the Academy of General Dentistry and is a graduate of the prestigious Misch
Institute for dental implants. Call
to schedule your complimentary consultation, 281-499-SMILE.

Keep Your Smile Healthy
Fort Bend Dental Associates
A beautiful smile begins with a healthy mouth and a healthy mouth results in a
healthier you! Did you know that unhealthy gums can cause unhealthy teeth? If
you experience sensitive or bleeding gums, it usually indicates bacteria
growth. Bad breath is frequently an indication of unhealthy tissues. Crooked
teeth can also contribute to unhealthy teeth and gums because those hard to
clean areas can trap germs and cause the jaw bones to weaken, creating poor
tooth support.
For people who are not happy with their smile due to spaces or crowding,
orthodontic treatment (or braces) is still one of the best options to correct
major and minor cosmetic concerns without altering the structure of the teeth.
Invisible braces are offered for those who are concerned about the appearance
of traditional braces.
Fort Bend Dental Associates want to ensure that your mouth and gums are as
healthy as they can be because your dental health is truly their business. Call
281-499-3541 to schedule your appointment for a more beautiful smile today.
Teeth-In-An-Hour™ -
Immediate Implants
Rick L. Kline, D.D.S.
“As a dentist, my greatest satisfaction comes from enhancing the quality of life
for someone who suffers each day due to the loss of one or more of their teeth,
” says Rick L. Kline, D.D.S. “That is why I have devoted over 18 years of my career to the use of dental
implants. In my opinion, implant supported replacement teeth are the next best
thing to nature
’s own.”
Until recently, this procedure required multiple surgeries and months of
uncomfortable recovery time between each phase of the treatment. In fact, most
dental implants are still placed this way. However, a revolutionary new
approach has now been perfected that allows Dr. Kline to complete the
restoration of an entire jaw in a single, one-hour procedure!
This advance was made possible by the use of a CT scan that allows him to avoid
any exploratory surgery. With the scan
’s information, Dr. Kline conducts a virtual surgery on computer that allows him
to know in advance exactly where to place each implant. He can then place the
implants, without any major, open-flap incision, in a single one-hour
procedure. This practically eliminates any recovery time. The dental implants
that he places are able to immediately support stress. Patients achieve near
full function in just a few days. Having completed many cases using this
technique, Dr. Kline is convinced that this is a vastly superior approach.

L. Kline at 281-265-SMILE.
It’s Not Too Late for
Straight Teeth

and orthodontics
Some adults are not candidates for the clear tray-type braces, but if you’re willing to wear braces for 6 months, you can have a beautiful, straight smile
before Valentine
’s Day. “I thought it was too late for straight teeth, but Dr. Cody straightened them
before I knew it, and it was surprisingly comfortable,
” said patient, Nancy Statin. If you’ve always wanted straight front teeth but didn’t want to drill or cut your natural tooth for porcelain veneer coverage then
these braces are for you. It is also a fraction of the cost of porcelain
veneers. Call for a free consult and see if the clear tray braces (Invisalign)
or the new fast braces will work for you.
