Thanks to innovations in dental technology, it's easier than ever to improve or protect your smile. Dr. Brent Browning in Northwest 
Houston, TX, discusses several dental services that may benefit you.
Fillings
Fillings are one of the most common dental treatments and also one of the most beneficial. The filling process prevents tooth decay from progressing and restores your tooth. Composite fillings are made of composite resin, a tooth-colored substance that makes fillings virtually undetectable.
Root canal therapy
Root canal therapy can help you avoid extraction of an infected or inflamed tooth by removing the pulp. Pulp, located in the center of a tooth, is comprised of tissue, nerves and blood vessels. Fortunately, your tooth can continue to function even if the pulp is removed. After the pulp is removed, the tooth and the root canals are cleaned and shaped and a rubber-based filling material is added to the tooth to seal and restore it. In many cases, a crown will also be needed to protect the tooth.
Invisalign
The Invisalign system offers a new approach to orthodontic treatment. The system relies on a series of clear, plastic aligner trays to realign and straighten teeth. Metal braces remain in your mouth during your entire treatment period, but Invisalign aligners are removable. You'll take them out when you eat and brush your teeth. The aligners are replaced with a new set every two weeks and must be worn approximately 22 hours per day. When you choose the Invisalign system, you'll visit our Northwest Houston office every six weeks for follow-up appointments.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers improve your smile quickly and easily. Because the thin shells are only added to the fronts of your teeth, they don't require a lengthy preparation process. Veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth and are an excellent choice if you want to whiten your teeth, hide a single discolored tooth, conceal small flaws, change the shape or length of a tooth or cover small gaps.
