Restoring Your Smile To Health and Beauty

I love the artistic aspects of dentistry. To me, all dentistry should be performed aesthetically, even simple fillings! I think that when a patient leaves my office, he or she should have a difficult time distinguishing the restored tooth from the surrounding natural teeth.

But more important than restoring teeth well, is keeping teeth healthy. We do that with dentistry that is conservative and preventive, with regular exams and cleaning, so we can find and treat problems before they get worse.

So while my artistic nature enjoys working on full mouth restorations and complex restorative cases, I’d rather prevent than treat to keep your teeth as sound and whole as possible. For more information about restorative dentistry, call Dr. Shirley Cagle at 281-681-9442 or visit www.shirleycagledds.com.

Restoring Your Smile To Health and Beauty

I have a weakness for difficult restorative dental cases. It’s true! I love them because there is nothing that matches the satisfaction of  seeing a smile – and often a life – transformed through the use of good and healthy restorative materials and sound technique. I really find it satisfying to save teeth others thought would have to be removed. But what I love most is the opportunity to work with a patient, carefully listening to their concerns and needs, to solve a problem, restore their mouths and get them healthy, smiling and full of confidence again. There is nothing like it! If you know folks who have been told by their current dentist that their teeth need to be pulled or that there is nothing that can be done to restore their teeth, why not suggest that they give me, Dr. Shirley Cagle, a call at 281-681-9442.  I can often save teeth others won’t touch!

Confident Smile With Porcelain Dental Veneers

Porcelain dental veneers are one of the most dramatic and effective cosmetic dental treatments I offer. It makes me so happy to read testimonials like this one:

Shirley Cagle is the best-kept secret in dentistry in northwest Houston!  Her cosmetic work is absolutely astonishing.  I had several veneers and implant crowns done recently and was very pleased!  It was like an "extreme makeover" for me.  When I looked in the mirror to see my new smile for the first time, I cried with tears of joy.  I am so thankful to her and her wonderful staff for giving me the best treatment I've ever received!  --MK -- June 3, 2010

It isn’t really that it is flattering to me – which of course it is, and I am grateful – but that one of my treatments made such a difference in a patient’s life. Making a difference through dentistry is why I began to practice cosmetic dentistry and what keeps me coming to my office every day. If you’d like more information about how porcelain veneers could help you, call my office at 281-681-9442.

Your Confident Smile With Porcelain Dental Veneers

Did you know that if your teeth are crooked or twisted slightly, porcelain veneers could help? Some people call the use of porcelain veneers as a way of correcting crooked teeth “ instant orthodontics.” It certainly isn’t a misnomer. The preparation of the crooked teeth, removes a small amount of tooth material allowing the veneers to fit over your teeth, straightening and perfecting them so naturally that many people won’t be sure what you have had done. To talk to me, Dr. Shirley Cagle, about whether or not you are a candidate for porcelain veneers and to find out how they might benefit you, call 281-681-9442.

Implant Bridges/Dentures

Since I wrote last about  implant supported dentures and bridges, I keep thinking about how these replacements can offer hope and health to patients who have lost teeth in an accident or because of wear or decay. When patients go from embarrassed, uncomfortable, unable to smile or eat what they like, to feeling comfortable, confident and attractive, it is dramatically life changing for them – and absolutely thrilling for me. If you are missing teeth, call me today at 281-681-9442. I’d be delighted to talk to you about the possibilities of implant supported restoration and replacement!

Dr. Shirley Cagle can Make Dentures Something to Smile About

I try not to take my teeth for granted. I take care of them the way I recommend my patients care for their own teeth. In fact, I guess I’m pretty happy with my smile. So the idea of ever losing teeth in an accident makes me shudder. Thankfully, we now have some terrific, comfortable and natural looking tooth replacement solutions. The best options, I think, are based on implants. With implants you can beautifully replace one or more teeth. Implants also work well to support bridges in a way that may make patients forget they are even there. And if dentures are the most appropriate solution, implant supported dentures are attractive and tremendously secure. If you think you might benefit from implant supported bridges or dentures, give me a call at 281.681.9442. I’d love to see how we can work together to get your smile back in working order.
