Do you brush your teeth twice a day, and floss at least a few times a week?

If you do, you probably have no idea how big a favor you do to your oral hygiene; if you don’t, you probably don’t realize the importance of good oral hygiene.

Preventive dentistry teaches you just that—the significance of following simple but highly effective oral hygiene practices, such as using fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily.

The results are nothing short of astounding, as a short visit to your local dentist would prove. In a week alone, you can witness firsthand the effects of maintaining your oral hygiene, and feel compelled to keep the practice going and spread the word to friends and family.

The main problem that most people seem to have regarding their teeth is negligence and poor oral hygiene. You may brush and floss your teeth daily, but still suffer from dental issues that come up from time to time.

This is why the American Association of Dentistry highly recommends that you make frequent visits to a dentist for routine dental check-ups, and prevent possible surgeries.

Your dental health is as important as your mental or general physical health. As such, it demands the attention of an experienced and qualified dentist, who can make a sound diagnosis, or provide useful tips to maintain your oral hygiene.

At CHASE OAKS FAMILY DENTISTRY, your dental health stands at the forefront of our success. This is why we provide a range of excellent dental care services in Frisco, Little Elm and The Colony, including preventive dentistry—recommended to all—be they old or young!

There’re few things more intimidating for a child than being taken to the dentist—the stranger who takes away their candy and intimidates them with sharp objects.

Unfortunately, much of this fear stems from a misguided notion of good oral hygiene, which seems more like a chore, and less of a necessity.

While it is difficult to teach children the importance of dental care, there are ways to eliminate their fears without coming up with elaborate stories about “teeth monsters”.

Pediatric dentistry is one of them.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is a stepping stone for strong, healthy teeth. Sometimes, however, it’s simply not enough to ensure great dental care.

It is for this reason that we have different procedures dedicated to various types of dental issues.

Orthodontics—Greek for “straight, proper or perfect teeth”—caters to the straightening of your teeth for better positioning, and painless biting and chewing.

As such, orthodontic dentistry focuses on aligning your teeth when the mouth is closed—a condition generally known as malocclusion. A person who specializes in this field of dentistry is known as an orthodontist. He or she specializes in controlling the shape and development of the jaw, as well as various areas of facial growth (also known as dentofacial orthopedics).

In order to qualify for orthodontic treatment, you must visit a qualified orthodontist who can study the positioning of your teeth, evaluate your dental history and examine your X-rays and model plasters to perform a sound diagnosis.​

Based on the findings, he or she may then be able to identify your dental problem and determine which orthodontic treatment would be most appropriate for you.​

At CHASE OAKS FAMILY DENTISTRY, your diagnosis is made quickly and accurately—thanks to cutting-edge dental technology, and more than 13 years of dental practice.

In particular, our orthodontic services provide effective solutions to the following problems:

Crowding

Deep bite (or crossbite)

Spacing

Asymmetrical teeth

Impacted teeth

Underbite

Overbite

Open bite

Front teeth protrusion

When it comes to dental care—the sooner you act, the better!​

There’s something about a beautiful smile that makes you feel liberated—a small, spontaneous gesture that reflects your inner joy, and spreads it to those around you. Beauty may very well be in the eye of the beholder; but we all know a great smile when we see one!

No two smiles are alike, but what they all have in common is a set of straight and healthy teeth.

In many cases, however, people are either born with dental imperfections due to genetics, or end up with less than perfect teeth due to accidents, injuries or poor oral hygiene. Dental insecurities that stem from these conditions make it a challenge to smile openly and confidently, putting a damper on your self-esteem and giving others a bad impression.​

Indeed, this is why several people opt for traditional braces, hoping to fix their imperfections for straighter, more aligned teeth—despite the complicated procedure and distracting appearance of metallic wires.

At CHASE OAKS FAMILY DENTISTRY, we use the latest in dental technology to bring you innovative solutions.

One of these is our exceptional invisalign service, popular around the world for its convenience and transparency.

As a much more reliable alternative to traditional braces, modern invisalign technology comes in clear, transparent, easily removable trays that focus on the incremental movement of teeth to create perfect alignment.

When you visit us in Frisco, Little Elm or The Colony for an invisalign treatment, your dentist, Dr. Lavanya Rudrapatna, takes a teeth impression and uses a 3D imaging software to create a custom tray.

We also provide other dental services in conjunction with invisalign services, such as crowns and bridges to perfect your smile.

Why cling to tradition when you have innovation?

Ditch the troublesome braces with an invisalign tray that’s so clear—no one will notice you have it on!

Contrary to popular jokes about the pain of undergoing a root canal, modern dental practices have made the procedure relatively painless and increasingly comfortable.

Also referred to as endodontic treatment, root canal is a dental procedure that treats infected pulp underneath the dentin and white enamel. Containing blood vessels, connective tissue and nerves, the pulp helps in the development of the root of your tooth.

When infected, the pulp becomes inflamed, which causes acute pain, and often leads to the formation of an abscess at the bottom. As such, there are a number of reasons underlying an infected pulp: from extensive decay and a chipped or cracked tooth, to one too many dental procedures and inadequate crowns—anything could irritate the soft tissue within the soft and sensitive pulp.

Root canal helps to remove the inflamed pulp, disinfecting the tooth and filling it instead with a substance called gutta-percha.

The process comes to an end with a standard filling or a crown, which leaves your tooth looking and feeling as good as new!

CHASE OAKS FAMILY DENTISTRY caters to Frisco, Little Elm and The Colony, with up to 13 years of professional experience in root canals, implants and cosmetic dentistry. Your dentist, Dr. Lavanya Rudrapatna, provides a comprehensive guide to dental care, with a step-by-step evaluation and root canal treatment that entails X-rays, anesthesia, removal, cleaning and sealing.

In addition, we will also help you during the recovery phase, giving you all the necessary tools and medication to heal effectively and on time.​

With special aftercare notes by the dentist herself, you can rely on our services for a speedy recovery—knowing that your root canal will most likely last a lifetime!

Keep yourself and your loved ones healthy! Our friendly and experienced staff will make sure you always feel comfortable and well-informed. Schedule this service today or feel free to stop by anytime.

Sedation dentistry keeps you comfortable during dental procedures. It’s beneficial for people with dental anxiety or for those who are undergoing lengthy treatment. Options include nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation and intravenous (IV) sedation. Dentists must have special certification to provide some forms of sedation dentistry.

Dental implants take the place of a lost tooth root. These permanent metal screws secure artificial or fake teeth — such as dental crowns, dental bridges or dentures — in place. A dental implant can replace one or more missing teeth.

You may think tooth extraction is only meant for people who don’t practice good oral hygiene. In reality, however, it could very well be recommended for a whole host of reasons, such as crowding, misalignment, and extensive decay.

It’s not uncommon, for instance, for people to undergo oral surgery extraction after an accident or an injury, which could render useless all fillings and crowns.

In situations where a tooth is simply irreparable, tooth extraction may be your only recourse. This could happen when experiencing crowding, decay or trauma. Even so, however, the process of extraction can be simple or surgical—most commonly in the case of impacted wisdom teeth.

When the tooth is visible above the gum line, and the dentist only relies on forceps to pull it out, it is considered a simple extraction. On the other hand, when your gum tissue or bone needs to be removed before operating on the tooth, it is deemed a surgical extraction—followed by stitches and medication for healing and recovery.

Other forms of oral surgical extractions may include removing broken down teeth, root tips, or gum tissue due to gum disease, which may infect your tooth and the surrounding area.

Simple and surgical extractions can have lasting effects on your dental health.

At CHASE OAKS FAMILY DENTISTRY, we understand the anxiety and stress of getting your teeth extracted, and we go out of our way to create a relaxing environment that is conducive to your mental and physical comfort.

We’re located in convenient locations, catering to Frisco, Little Elm and The Colony, with a professional and friendly staff that is there to assist you every step of the way—be it with local anesthetics or medication.

You can rest assured knowing that you’ll be treated by a highly qualified Dentist who’s been specializing in surgical extractions for over 13 years!
