Dr. Teresa Knott of Town Center Dental offers individuals and families a discount plan to give them affordable access to necessary dental care

Garland, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/26/2016 -- More than one-third of Americans, on average, do not visit the dentist on a routine and more than 100 million Americans do not go to the dentist because they do not have insurance and cannot afford dental care. Adequate dental care is important in preventing severe problems that may arise as a result of not going to the dentist. From cavities to gum disease and everything in between, dental care is crucial in keeping patients healthy and from paying higher dental costs later. Dr. Teresa Knott of Town Center Dental cares about the dental health of residents in Garland, TX and provides dental assistance for patients who do not already have dental insurance.

The dental assistance program at Town Center Dental is an in-house savings plan that is available to singles, couples, and families. For a single person, $197 covers diagnostics, x-rays, a cleaning, and 2 fluoride treatments for an entire year. The plan also provides varying discounts on some preventive and cosmetic procedures. Patients do not have to be pre-qualified and there is no deductible or maximum. Pre-existing limitations do not apply and there is not a waiting period for qualification.

The plan provides 100% off of some of the main dental care needs, such as consultations, x-rays and cleanings and provides 25% off of many dental cosmetic procedures such as crowns, partials, and implants. There is also a 25% discount off of root canals, oral surgeries, implants, and more. The benefit, as opposed to having no discount, initially saves an individual about 50% and more if the patient is in need of more procedures.

Because the dental assistance program is provided by and through Town Center Dental specifically, it cannot be used at any other dental office. Once a patient has been approved and has paid the premium, a refund will not be issued if the patient changes his/her mind. The plan cannot be combined with any other insurance plan, as it is a dental discount program offered for those who do not already have insurance. If a patient does have dental insurance already and would like to apply for the program, the dental assistance program at Dr. Knott's office will be considered the secondary insurance.

Dr. Teresa Knott of Town Center Dental in Garland, TX now offers Fastbraces orthodontics

Garland, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/19/2016 -- Dental patients in Garland, TX now have access to one of the latest advances in orthodontic care at Town Center Dental. Dr. Teresa Knott recently became certified to provide Fastbraces technology for teen and adult patients in Garland that is helping them get straighter smiles in as little as 20 weeks with nearly no pain and no tooth removal required.

Fastbraces uses a high performance bracket system that undergoes different forces than traditional braces to shift teeth into straighter alignment. Instead of traditional square brackets, Fastbraces technology uses triangular brackets and a square-shaped wire that starts to upright the roots of the teeth from the very first appointment. This technology has been developed and tested over the past 25 years and it is proven to reduce the treatment time needed for straight smiles from years into a matter of months.

Because of the unique forces that the Fastbraces system utilizes, patients don't experience near as much pain and discomfort as they do with traditional braces. Additionally, this system helps preserve the natural bite and doesn't require tooth removal to make room for teeth as traditional orthodontia typically requires. Because of the reduced treatment time, Fastbraces are also much more affordable than traditional braces.

The reduced treatment time also helps patients maintain better oral health. With traditional braces that require years of treatments, patient's oral health can decline simply due to the difficulty of brushing and flossing properly with the attached brackets and wires. Patients with Fastbraces are less likely to develop plaque, decay, and discoloration because the brackets and wires are only attached to their teeth for a mere matter of months instead of years.

Offering Fastbraces technology to her patients is just one of the ways that Dr. Knott is striving to provide patients with the latest technology and highest standards of care at her practice. In addition to Fastbraces, Dr. Knott is also a certified provider of Invsalign for teen and adult patients who desire straighter smiles without having brackets and wires attached to their teeth. She also offers treatments such as dental implants, veneers, teeth whitening, crowns, bonding, and more.

Dr. Teresa Knott, DDS informs her patients and the public about the newest developments in 3D imaging and customized aligners

Garland, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/01/2015 -- Advances in dentistry technologies have brought many new modern techniques to the public, making it possible for all patients to enjoy a better dental experience. Dentists the world over are pleased to illuminate that many common dental issues are able to be treated with far less inconvenience and time commitments than in the past. For patients with misaligned teeth, Dr. Teresa Knott of Town Center Dental in Garland, TX suggests researching Invisalign as a great option to achieve the smile you want without totally altering your daily routine.

Invisalign is a modern way of straightening teeth by utilizing a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to fit over your teeth. After a digital scan or physical impression of your teeth has been performed, a computer 3D modeling program will generate a series of aligners specifically for you. The series of aligners will gradually shift teeth into the appropriate position according to the treatment plan reviewed and approved by your orthodontist or dentist.

Typically, the aligners will be changed at home every two weeks and a check-up at two month intervals is necessary to monitor your progress. Prior to Invisalign, most people with orthodontics concerns wore braces to correct alignment and bite issues. They involved using metal brackets that were attached to the teeth, connected by a wire. Dental hygiene would require more effort as these parts got in the way of brushing and flossing.

With Invisalign, there are no brackets or wires to get in the way. The Invisalign trays are removable so you can brush and floss as you normally would prior to treatment. However, many dentists recommend leaving the aligners in at least 20-22 hours a day except when eating, drinking, or cleaning your teeth. Aside from that, always brush your teeth after eating and before placing the aligners back in. The best part is that Invisalign offers the convenience of being able to receive effective treatment while retaining the comfortability of your smile without the silver flash of wire braces.
