Arlington Teeth Whitening, Dental Implants, Veneers
ProsthoWorks is a full service prosthodontic practice managing conventional fixed, removable, implant supported and combination prosthodontic care. Dr. Lee is a 'wet-handed' practitioner and is personally involved in the many laboratory procedure involved in the process of the prosthesis we provide our patients. In particular, we take the time to perform a thorough examination and record jaw relations to plan around what is available and what can be grafted (or enhanced with dental implants) to best support oral function, namely, eating, swallowing, speaking, and perform social interaction - like smile for your family and friends! Nice photographs do not mean anything unless the result is functional and protects the remaining oral and dental tissues for the long run. As such, we focus a lot of energy and time in the follow-up care and maintenance of the outcome we help you obtain.
Services
"Crowns and Bridges . . . Specialty removable dentures . . . Implant restorations/prostheses . . . and where indicated and within the realms of our training, Intra-oral maxillofacial prosthodontics. Patients requiring complex and any extra-oral prosthodontics care are referred to those maxillofacial prosthodontists who have received additional training in an ADA-accredited program. That is another aspect of our practice - to be able to know our limitations and acknowledge when failure comes from poor planning as well as unrealistic expectations. Humility is key to knowing when to refer to other providers - who perform services for which they are better qualified and experienced than we are to do so.
Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read More...

Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...
