Houston Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic or aesthetic dentistry combines the art of design with
the science of dental materials. Our goal with every patient is
quite simply to give our client a functional smile that looks good,
feels good, and lasts a long time. Using Dr.. Hoopingarner′s
Principles of Smile Design
, we can plan a smile for
you that enhances your natural facial features and gives you the
look you always wanted.




With the latest in pressable porcelains we can produce metal free restorations that can whiten, close spaces, relieve crowing, give an instant orthodontic appearance, replace missing or worn tooth structure or reshape teeth to make a dazzling . Unlike metal crowns there is no dark line along the gum area to detract from you beautiful smile.

One of the easiest ways to look and feel younger and healthier
is to lighten and brighten you smile. We can help with an individually
design plan combining self-administered and in office whitening
techniques. In a very short time we can brighten your smile several
shades.

We believe that restorations should where possible, not only restore
the tooth to health and function but to its natural appearance.
We use only the latest porcelains and composite resin materials
for returning your teeth to optimal condition. We have been a mercury
free office for over seven years preferring more modern tooth colored
dental restorative materials.

In the past the only way of replacing missing teeth with non removable
restorations was to involve other teeth. Now dental implants have
evolved into a predictable alternative to replace missing teeth
or stabilize a complete denture.
Dr Hoopingarner has been a leader in the field of diagnosis and
treatment of TMJ, Temporomandibular joint disorders, and Orofacial
pain for over twenty-five years. Using patient history, advanced
medical x-rays, and computerized electromyographic positional analysis,
we can determine optimal mandibular function and the part that dental
occlusion, the meeting of the teeth, plays for symptoms such as
headache, jaw opening restriction, jaw neck and facial pain, This
position is determined and then stabilized utilizing an orthotic
or splint. See neuromuscular section
We use the Geneeva 2000 denture system. The teeth are individually
matched to our patients color scheme, facial form and personality
with a program developed through the years by the Swiss masters.
No one wants to go through the unfortunate experience of dental pain. We make every effort to see any patient within 24 hours to at the very least relieve pain and discomfort until a definitive solution can be arranged.
Orthodontic services are offered including the latest brace-less
Invisalign technique. Most patients can be treated without the removal
of healthy teeth by using basic orthopedic principles. With newer
metal alloys even with standard braces treatment time and number
of visits are greatly diminished.
Periodontal or gum disease has a complex mix of causative factors. Local irritants, plaque, bacterial infection, host resistance, genetics,
and occlusion come into play. By early diagnosis, and careful treatment
planning most patients can be treated non surgically with localized
antibiotic therapy, laser curettage and removal of local irritants.
We understand that many people delay very necessary and important
dental services due to apprehension and pain. We do not want anyone
to be prevented from achieving a healthy mouth and a great smile.
For that purpose we offer nitrous oxide conscious sedation or full
sedation dentistry so you can sleep through your dental procedure
in total comfort.
