We strongly recommend dental implants because of their health benefits, their seamless aesthetic value, and their long-lasting durability. However, Dr. Pointer understands that this option may not be the right fit for every patient. During an initial consultation, he can review all of the available choices in greater detail so that you feel confident about your eventual selection.
You can. Implant-retained dentures are an excellent choice for patients who wish to replace a significant portion of their smile while still enjoying the advantages of implants.
Yes. Laser dentistry has received approval from the FDA and is generally accepted as a precise and comfortable method for treating cavities, canker sores, periodontal disease, and more. This procedure has a sterilizing quality that will minimize bacterial infection and leave surrounding healthy tissue intact. Post-operative symptoms like bleeding and swelling are greatly minimized, and many patients won’t even need anesthesia. Here in Fort Worth, Dr. Pointer strongly believes in these valuable benefits and passing them onto his patients through treatment.
We do. At Gary Pointer, DDS, Dr. Pointer will find time in his schedule as soon as possible to accommodate patients in need of urgent attention, and our phoneline is open 24 hours a day for calls of this nature.
We offer detailed post-operative instructions here on our website for a variety of procedures. Our team will also go over this information with you immediately following your appointment so that you know what to expect and how you can relieve any uncomfortable symptoms in the immediate aftermath.
Here in Fort Worth, patient comfort is always one of our team’s top priorities. Many people experience dental-related anxiety, so you don’t have to feel alone. Several amenities are available at our office to make the experience more pleasurable, such as music, in-operatory TV screens, and more. Oral conscious sedation is also available to calm your nerves and help you reach a more relaxed state throughout procedures.
Not necessarily. Dr. Pointer offers CEREC technology, which simplifies the steps of restorative care – including design, milling, and final placement – down to just one appointment.
