A New Smile

"Men and Women of All Ages Have Found a New Lease on Life!"

How Did They Do It?
By Improving Their Smile!

Your teeth tell your age.  A lighter , brighter  smile can subtract years from your looks.  If you're dreaming of your perfect smile, if you'd like to smile " younger ," or smile without embarrassment, or smile with confidence and actually show your happiness to others, we've got some important information to share with you.

Because of our experience and expertise in cosmetic dentistry, we will be able to help YOU have beautiful teeth, and that's a true gift!

Here are three good reasons you will want to have your cosmetic dental work done by Dr. Coker, a dentist in Tyler, Texas:

Reasons To Believe Us

1.)  Dr. Coker is a pioneer in the field of cosmetic dentistry in Tyler, Longview, and all of East Texas and is responsible for many of the area's most beautiful smiles, i.e., he's one of the premier cosmetic dentists in Texas . But it doesn't stop there, as many people from other states also come to have Dr. Coker build their new smiles .

2.)  Dr. Coker and our staff have completed hundreds of hours of state-of-the-art cosmetic courses learning how to do advanced techniques with newer and better materials.

Here Are Some of the Benefits You Receive

  • If you are the slightest bit nervous or anxious about your dental treatment, we do offer sedation so you can totally relax.

  • We use cosmetic-grade, translucent porcelains.  By using the finest materials available we are able to produce a truly bright, yet natural-looking smile.

  • We use the best lab technicians who work in labs with state-of-the-art equipment which helps ensure that you get the most beautiful, natural looking teeth imaginable.

  • We have mature team members who are incredibly competent in what they do.  This enables you to get the kind of outstanding results that you expect.

Now, You're Probably Wondering How You Can Get Started on This Process

Let me explain.  A smile-enhancement  can be as minor as teeth whitening, a few veneers, or some bonding and contouring  - or a smile make-over can be as complicated as replacing lost teeth with implants, treating periodontal disease, replacing fillings and crowns, using the laser for gum reshaping, and making sure your "bite" is comfortable and even.

To help you decide what you want and to explore what's available for you, we have you first meet with one of our treatment coordinators, Cylisa or Mary. Before making an investment in your mouth, you may want to " kick the tires ," to make sure we're the office for you. In that case, you will call and schedule a 30-minute complimentary consultation with Cylisa.

Once you've decided that we're the office for you, you'll schedule for your  exam with Cylisa or Mary and  Dr. Coker . They will look at the outside of your teeth with something called an intraoral camera and then they'll take digital x-rays to look at the inside of your teeth and a panorex x-ray which reveals in greater detail the upper and lower teeth and parts of the jaw in a single image.

Your carotid arteries which are located on each side of your neck, pass through the region visualized on the panoramic x-ray, making it possible for Dr. Coker to view whether you have any significant blockages, which appear as patchy white spots.  This is called  early stroke detection .  They'll also make models of your teeth and then they'll see how your teeth fit together.  You will be checked for decay, oral cancer, and gum disease.

Actually this is one exam you will enjoy - and we even offer you a hot wax treatment for your hands - just like a spa!

After your exam, you'll be scheduled to come back in for a consultation .  In the meantime, Cylisa or Mary will meet with Dr. Coker to go over your  models and your records and they will develop an "ideal" treatment plan.

During the consultation visit, they will explain all the findings to you, address YOUR concerns and offer treatment options .  They will also be able to tell you about the cost.  Then, together you will decide on the order and the amount of treatment you want done.   Financing options are explained at this time and a schedule of your treatment sequence is completed. 

Depending upon your treatment plan , your first visit may be to prepare your teeth for your new smile.  During that preparation visit, you will be offered nitrous oxide to help you relax and headphones so you can listen to your favorite type of music. If you're really nervous, Dr. Coker offers " sedation ."  To read a ' blog ' of one patient's experience,

At the end of this appointment, you will leave the office with beautiful "temporaries" - your trial smile . This is the day that you walk in with your old smile and walk out with your new one!  During the first week with your new smile, you will look at it, feel it, and decide whether there are any changes you want to make.  This is the time to make sure it's just like you want it.  Adjustments can be made to your temporaries at this time to make sure everything is perfect.

Once you're satisfied, your case is then sent to our dental lab for fabrication.  Our lab is not just a regular dental lab, but a lab that actually specializes in smile designs.  These lab technicians are artists and they take all the information we send them and develop that into your beautiful smile.  When this process has been completed, you will be scheduled for a "seat" appointment.  Your "temporaries" will be removed and your permanent smile will be placed.  Let the fun begin!

 

Warning: Do NOT get your smile make-over without checking out the following seven things.

Unfortunately, we have many patients who come in with tears in their eyes over the way a previous dentist built their smile. They didn't bother to check references and to make sure that the dentist who worked on them had the experience and techniques necessary for sensational results.  Don't be one of them.

Here's what we offer:

You will receive a short consult visit with Cylisa or Mary  if you need help in deciding  whether or not we're the office for you.  You will be able to suggest changes during the first couple of weeks that you are wearing your temporaries to make sure that you get the smile of your dreams.
