Dental Examination

Teeth Cleaning

Bridges
If you have multiple missing teeth, Dr. Simon may find it more useful to incorporate additional prosthetics to help with the movement of your teeth in an effort to attain lasting results. These can include dental bridges, dental implants, or other solutions to help eliminate spaces in your smile. No matter the option you choose, it is best to address the problem of missing teeth sooner rather than later. It is proven that the longer you wait to receive treatment for a missing tooth, the greater your chances of your healthy teeth shifting in an attempt to “close the gap.” Not only can this make it more embarrassing while surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues, but you will struggle to eat and even speak because of your misaligned bite.

Dental Implants
If an adult tooth is not erupting properly, Dr. Simon can use braces to pull the tooth into position so that it aligns with your natural, healthy teeth. Although it may seem impossible for teeth to shift when gaps are present, the truth is that by placing braces onto your teeth, they will stabilize, effectively reducing the possibility of continued shifting because of gapped areas in the area. Once you are finished with orthodontic treatment, the spaces will be consolidated and you can still choose to have a customized prosthetic put into place (i.e., bridge or dental implant) to close the gap and create a fuller, more complete smile.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Unfortunately, sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed and can also impact adults. This medical problem is linked to diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Similar to children, orthodontic treatment can aid in opening the airway. Because their oral structures are fully formed and set in position, adults can be more challenging to treat. In these cases, oral surgery may be necessary to correct the structural issue. The good news is that Dr. Simon has more than 25 years of specialized training and works with expert oral surgeons that, together, will provide the treatment needed to permanently open the airway.
Jaw Surgery
Although some dental professionals try to address sleep apnea with appliance therapy, surgery is often the most predictable treatment in many cases. When worn over the long term, oral appliances can have many side effects and complications, such as jaw pain and other TMJ symptoms, excessive saliva production, dry mouth, discomfort, unwanted tooth movement, and more. On the other hand, with orthognathic surgery, the changes made to oral structures are intentional and permanent, ensuring a more normal bite and healthier sleep.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Sometimes, braces or other more conservative orthodontic treatments cannot create the change needed to correct a patient’s smile. Severe malocclusion can prevent patients from being able to chew food, speak clearly, and cause problems with the jaw joint. In these cases, combining these treatments with oral surgery may provide the answer. Dr. Simon has more than 25 years of clinical experience and training in oral and maxillofacial surgery and can certainly perform the procedures that can ensure a healthy bite.
Tooth Extractions
If brackets are designed to be affixed to the surface of each tooth to properly move and shift your teeth, how is it possible that you can wear braces and still receive results? Your orthodontist in Dallas will evaluate your smile to determine the reason you need orthodontic treatment. If crowded teeth exist, you may be required to undergo tooth extraction to allow for your teeth to move into proper alignment with the help of braces.

Orthodontics
When you shop for a new toaster or coffee maker, you read reviews to determine whether it will be a good choice for you. Well, don’t you want to be just as confident when choosing an orthodontist? Dr. Simon and our team at Lakewood Orthodontics have transformed many, many smiles over the years, and we invite you to click on the links below and look at our online reviews from those we’ve served. When you’re ready for your own transformation, give us a call!
Invisalign Orthodontics
Once Dr. Simon has determined that you’re a viable candidate for Invisalign treatment, you’ll be provided a set of clear, customized aligners that are virtually unnoticeable when worn. The patient’s job is simple—wear each aligner for one to two weeks before switching to the next set, only removing them for eating and practicing oral hygiene. Each aligner represents a different stage of your teeth as they move closer to their ideal alignment, so with every new aligner you switch to, you’re that much closer to achieving a gorgeous, straight smile. Patients also need to attend regular check-ups with Dr. Simon about every six to ten weeks so that she can monitor their progress.
Braces
Self-ligating braces are crafted from the same material as traditional braces, with one important difference – elastic ties are not required. While this may seem like only a small change, it actually results in less friction for your teeth, fewer appointments at our Lakewood area practice, and a much more aesthetically pleasing appearance overall. Because we fully embrace this new technology, all of our patients undergoing comprehensive treatment with either traditional metal braces or clear ceramic braces have self-ligating braces for our Lakewood orthodontic patients —at no additional cost.

General Dentistry
Natalia has been in the dental field for over a decade, having previously worked in both general dentistry and orthodontic offices in the past. Her vast experience has made her a very skilled treatment coordinator, being able to understand and explain the doctor’s treatment plan succinctly to our patients. In fact, she and Dr. Simon often joke that they can read each other’s minds! Natalia loves interacting with new patients and getting to make such a positive impact on their lives! She says it’s a wonderful feeling to see their confidence grow over time as their smiles change for the better through treatment.
