5 Ways to Brighten A Smile For The Holidays


Of each patient I see during the day at Stonebriar Smile Design, the most common question I receive, especially around they holidays is: “What is the quickest and easiest way to enhance or brighten my smile before the holiday?”

To most peoples surprise some dental cosmetic whitening / enhancing options are very simple and relatively inexpensive. 

1.  Take-home whitening trays - These are custom trays that are fitted to impressions or molds we take of your teeth. You receive our professional grade teeth whitening solution to wear at home for 15 min - 1 hour each session. Many people achieve a great result in 5 - 7 applications in a row. Once you have initially achieved a great result patients typically can maintain by popping in trays after each dental cleaning or prior to a specific event.
2.  Electric Toothbrushes - I know it may sound cheesy, but electric or sonic toothbrushes offer an amazing way to keep your smile healthy and remove build-up and debris from staining your teeth between your professional dental cleanings. They can offer up to over 32,000 brush strokes per minute! Try achieving that with a manual brush!
3.  Professional In-office teeth whitening - For the person who wants instant gratification and the maximum result possible for whitening their teeth, this is the way to go. These procedures have also become very affordable and make great gifts! In as little a 4 - 15 minute whitening sessions at Stonebriar Smile Design, you can achieve an 8 shade change in 1 day!
4.  Cosmetic Dental Crowns / Veneers - This is a more permanent step towards achieving straight / white teeth; however, surprisingly enough in 2 appointments you can have a completely new designed smile.  Call the office today, and ask for your complimentary cosmetic consultation.
5.  Invisalign- Often times people are wanting to correct misaligned or crooked teeth, and this can easily be changed using clear removable custom fitted aligners from Invisalign.  In as few as 10 weeks you can have the straight smile you have always wanted!  Anyone who completes their Invisalign treatment and references this blog post, will also receive custom take-home whitening bleaching trays!  The perfect way to enhance your new straight smile is to brighten it up!

If you or someone you love has been looking for the answer to the ever so popular question: “What is the quickest and easiest way to enhance or brighten my smile before the holiday?”  Simply give the office a call 972.377.7800 and schedule an appointment to discuss any of the above procedures today!

Happy Holidays!

Energize Your Way Through The Holiday Season




I know many of you can relate to my stress this time of the year. This year, with Thanksgiving falling late in the month, we only have a little over 3 weeks between then and Christmas. 

If you are like me, sometimes trying to cram all of the shopping, decorating, and planning in three weeks can be a bit strenuous. Not to mention taking care of the twins, and it being the busiest time of the year at the dental office makes this time very stressful for me!

Recently I started using the WIN (Wellness International Network)products, and I have to say they make a world of difference in my energy levels. There are thousands of energy drinks out on the market and many are great.  However, what I like about the WINrgy drinks, is they are the only supplements listed in the PDR (physicians desk reference) and the company has been in the business of making wellness products for over two decades. 

How Does WINrgy Work?
As a dentist, I love that is contains xylitol! Everybody knows I love xylitol because it is good for controlling the environment of the mouth to fight against cavities and optimize the gum health by controlling the wrong type of bacteria. The fact that it tastes great and gives me energy is just an added bonus!
WINrgy has far fewer calories of convenience store energy drinks, and has no refined sugars.    
Instead, WINrgy gets its power from good nutrition, including amino acids, an abundance of B vitamins, and natural mood-enhancers / nutrients that help your cells use the energy found in the essential trace minerals copper, potassium and zinc.

Everyone needs extra energy now and then. Instead of reaching for coffee or sugary beverages, choose WINrgy energy drink for a natural energy boost!
WIN products are available for purchase at Stonebriar Smile Design located in Frisco, Texas, and serving the DFW Metroplex.
