X-Rays are better than you think!


These days, computers are really changing the way we live and work. You've probably experienced their impact in your own home. And believe me, technology is also helping raise our dental practice to a new level of safety, accuracy, and comfort.
Keeping up with all these advances is a full-time occupation that's as important as my work at chairside. One of the most promising of these breakthroughs is an improvement on the oldest evaluation technology we have - dental x-rays.
For close to a century, dentists have used x-rays to detect cavities and damage invisible to the eye. We've long been aware of the drawbacks. Though x-ray radiation is slight, many patients find it a cause for concern. And reading the negative requires a skilled, professional eye-which means my patients can't see what I see.
That's why my office uses digital x-rays. A computer enhances a "photo" of your teeth and shows it instantly on a screen. This new system requires 80% less radiation than the old film x-rays, and can magnify the image up to 300 times. It's as easy to read as a snapshot. When I discuss something I see in your mouth, you'll be able to view it right along with me.




















In addition to x-rays, our office also utilizes intra-oral pictures. With this technology we use a small camera and take digital pictures inside your mouth. You get to see exactly what we see!
This is an exciting time to be a dentist. We're re-thinking and refining virtually every aspect of our dental practice, and I wanted to pass a bit of it along to you.

If you can think of anything we can do to make your visit more pleasant, please let us know! We're always improving!

$500 Off Invisalign


We’re proud to offer the Invisalign...
The Clear Alternative to Braces

If you've ever wondered how you can straighten your teeth without braces, now is the time to take advantage of this limited time spring special:

$500 OFF INVISALIGN
Offer Expires: 05/20/2013
*Some Restrictions Apply


What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution, so you can smile confidently both during and after treatment. Using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth toward the smile you’ve always wanted. And, almost no one will know you’re wearing them unless you tell them.

Invisalign is comfortable to wear and easy to live with. You visit our office ever month or two to check your progression and get new aligners. Average treatment time is about a year. Because aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods. And you can brush and floss normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Invisalign is able to treat a wide range of cases, ranging from crowding, spacing, overbites and underbites.


If Invisalign sounds like something that you’d like to try, give us a call at 936-539-3636 or request an appointment online at www.conroesmilemakeover.com.

We’d love to get you in for a complimentary consultation to see how Invisalign can help you!

Don't get the wrong Impression

If you hate going to the dentist because of the goop and goo we put in your mouth to make the perfect crown you're going to absolutely love this (and hopefully us!)

We're proud to announce a new, wonderful addition to our office. No, not someone who can take magical impressions; we're talking about DIGITAL impressions! Your eyes haven't fooled you, it's the truth. No more gagging and uncomfortable trays; we've found the perfect solution for YOU!

With our new iTero machine, we're able to take "impressions" with a portable computer with a camera attached. We simply take pictures of the necessary teeth, send the images off to a lab and the pictures are turned into models.


The digital impressions are more accurate than the traditional impressions and much less of a hassle for our awesome patients.

What's not to love? If this sounds like something that would make your life easier, please give us a call. We'd love to see you soon! 936-539-3636

As always, for more information on the services we're proud to offer visit our website at www.drtimgardner.com.
