Howze Dental Group is your dentist office in Cedar Hill, TX. Dr. Shanna Howze and Dr. Jennifer Scott are here to deliver high-quality general, cosmetic, and restorative services to meet all your dental needs. Our dentists are proud to see patients in Cedar Hill as part of the areas we serve.
Routine Exams and Cleanings
Routine care is essential to our general dentistry services. Even if your teeth feel fine, regular checkups allow us to catch early signs of problems like cavities, gum disease, or worn teeth. Preventive care helps you avoid more serious and costly issues later.
What Happens During a Cleaning
When you come in for a routine visit, one of our registered dental hygienists (RDH) will begin with a dental prophylaxis, also known as a dental cleaning. This professional cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. Even if you brush and floss every day, plaque can still build up in hard-to-reach areas. Removing this buildup helps protect your teeth from decay and keeps your gums healthy.
Our hygienist will also check the health of your gums, measure your gum pockets, and look for signs of inflammation. Gum health plays a major role in your overall oral health, so these checks are an important part of your visit.
Your Exam
After your cleaning, Dr. Howze will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. She looks for cavities, cracked teeth, gum disease, early wear, or anything that might need attention. This is also your time to ask questions. Many patients ask about tooth pain, cosmetic goals, or how to improve their home care routine.
Dr. Howze believes in open communication, so you can always share concerns or discuss treatment options. Our team wants you to feel informed and confident in your dental health.
Regular exams and cleanings help keep your smile strong and prevent dental problems before they begin. Most patients benefit from visiting every six months, but some may need more frequent cleanings for better gum health.
Teeth Whitening
A bright smile can help you feel more confident in your daily life. At Howze Dental Group, we offer cosmetic dentistry services, including professional teeth whitening, to help you achieve a smile you feel proud to show.
Teeth whitening is a fast and simple way to improve the appearance of your teeth. Over time, teeth can become stained from foods, drinks, smoking, or normal aging. Professional whitening lifts these stains to reveal a brighter and cleaner look.
In-Office Whitening
Our in-office whitening treatment is ideal for patients who want quick results. During this appointment, we place a safe and effective whitening gel on your teeth. The gel works to break up deep stains and lighten your teeth several shades in one visit. Many patients choose this option before a big event or simply because they want fast, noticeable results.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
We also offer custom take-home whitening trays. These trays are made to fit your teeth comfortably. You will receive whitening gel and easy instructions on how to use the kit safely at home. Take-home whitening gives you the flexibility to brighten your smile at your own pace.
Both whitening options are stronger and more effective than over-the-counter products. During your visit, we help you choose the option that best fits your goals and lifestyle.
Implant Restorations
Restorative dentistry focuses on rebuilding damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. One of the most reliable ways to restore missing teeth is with dental implants. At Howze Dental Group, we provide implant restorations to help you regain a natural-looking and fully functional smile.
A dental implant is a small post that is placed in the jawbone to act like a natural tooth root. After the implant heals and bonds to the bone, we attach a custom restoration on top. This restoration may be a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on how many teeth you are missing.
Implant restorations look and feel like natural teeth. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Unlike traditional dentures, implants do not move or slip. They also help maintain your jawbone and prevent bone loss over time.
Our Approach to Implant Restorations
When restoring dental implants, our dentists make sure your replacement teeth match the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth. We want your smile to look natural and feel comfortable. Whether you need to restore a single implant or several, we create a custom treatment plan that supports long-term strength and function. If you’re interested in dental implants or want to know if you are a good candidate, our team is here to guide you through the process.
