Get the Perfect, White Smile You Always Wanted at Robert Mitchell, D.D.S., with Veneers.

October 10, 2016

Looking back on your latest job interview, meeting or first date, were you smiling as brightly as you wanted to? A smile is the worlds way of seeing your true happiness and personality shine through. When you are self conscious about your smile, you may not give off the impression you want to, making it harder to feel comfortable in certain situations.

Create a Positive First Impression Every Time with a Makeover by Robert Mitchell, D.D.S. You only have one opportunity to make a positive first impression and let’s face it, your smile says a lot about you. Your smile and the condition of your teeth are a direct reflection of you. The number one thing people notice when they meet you for the first time is your smile. People with attractive smiles are generally more confident, happier, friendlier and seem to enjoy life more. They are also generally more respected an liked by others. Your smile really does matter.

Studies show that 99.7% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset. Also, a more pleasant smile can help you get ahead in life. People want to date someone who is attractive and who takes care of their appearance. Employers want to hire and promote people who are more attractive and who have a warm friendly smile. Over 74% of Americans believe an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances of career success. Your smile is one of your biggest assets. Dull, stained, crooked or missing teeth can negatively affect how others feel about you and it affects how you feel about yourself.

Well, veneers are your answer! Veneers have come a long way. They are easy, painless and virtually instant. In a little as two visits you can have an entirely new smile, or just enhance the one you already love.

Before & After Veneer Photos of a actual patient of Dr. Robert Mitchell, D.D.S.

What is a veneer?

A veneer is a contact-lens-thin custom made shell that covers the front side of the tooth and is bonded on permanently. They are created one-of-a-kind in a laboratory just for you, by a technician. Veneers are made from exact models of your mouth taken by the dentist. There is no reason to live with gaps in your front teeth, stains that won’t come off or crooked, chipped, or misshapen teeth. Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct natures mistakes or remove the results of an injury, leaving your teeth looking better than ever and refreshed.

Veneers might be perfect, if you:

  • Whiten regularly, but would like a permanent solution
  • Self-conscious of the gaps, chips or crooked teeth in your smile
  • Have stains that do not respond to whitening
  • Have an upcoming event, like a graduation, wedding, or reunion
  • Want the look of a straight smile without the commitment of braces
  • Veneers require little, if no drilling, and no large time commitment, and deliver gorgeous permanent results.

Just what you want

Many times patients think cosmetic dentistry means an unnatural, movie-star smile. They think cosmetic dentistry is not for them because they might not feel like “themselves”. Today this is just not the case. Results can range from drastic, to subtle. With a variety of custom shade, size and shape options, you can get exactly what you want.

Veneers are one of the easiest and fastest ways to change your smile. Whether you looking for a dramatic or subtle result, veneers can deliver both. I would love to talk over your options with you at your next visit. Feel free to ask to see many of the Before and After photos we have in our office of happy patients.

Imagine never having to worry about the appearance of your smile when meeting strangers or taking pictures. Imagine not having to cover your mouth when you laugh. Imagine smiling with full confidence when introducing yourself. All of these possibilities are extremely possible with the help of our professional staff.

With today’s technology and porcelain veneers, Dr. Mitchell can give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Schedule an appointment today for a complimentary consultation visit to see if porcelain veneers are the right option for you.

The Big Shootout: Steinmark and Mitchell

September 23, 2016

We are very proud of Dr. Robert Mitchell aka “Bobby Mitchell” and wanted to share this great article about Bobby Mitchell and his teammate, Freddie Steinmark in “Dave Campbell’s Texas Football”. Any discussion of “The Game of the Century” is incomplete without mention of The Wheat Ridge boys- Longhorns Freddie Steinmark and Bobby Mitchell, whose lives were forever changed in 1969 for reasons well beyond football.

The Big Shootout: Steinmark and Mitchell

In the absence of a foolproof recipe for building a championship team, we rely on the genius of coaches to know which ingredients will come together to reach destiny.

For Darrell Royal, two of the most important components of his 1969 title team came from one of the least-likely places: tiny Wheat Ridge, Colorado.

Freddie Steinmark and Bobby Mitchell were the talk of the Greater Denver area once they teamed up in the Wheat Ridge backfield after Mitchell’s family moved in from California.  Their running styles complemented each other perfectly, turning the boys into stars whose local popularity was once compared to The Beatles by author Jim Dent, who wrote a book about Steinmark that is being developed into a movie.

Their arrival at the University of Texas in 1967 found the Longhorns in a quagmire of piling up four losses or more in three consecutive seasons.  Royal moved the high school backfield mates to opposite sides of the ball- Steinmark to safety, Mitchell to the offensive line- where both would become major contributors.

After a sophomore year in 1968 that saw Steinmark become one of the resurgent Longhorns’ defensive stars by intercepting five passes, the Wheat Ridge boys had high aspirations for 1969- a year that would mark great triumph and great tragedy for both.

In January, Bobby received word that his older brother, Mark, an Army helicopter pilot, had been killed in action in Vietnam.  Though the loss stung mightily both then and today for Mitchell, he was comforted by Steinmark and channeled his energy into winning a starting job at offensive guard that spring.

As the 1969 season began, Steinmark began to feel an increasing amount of pain in his left leg.  Though noticeably hobbled, he continued to play through the pain as the Longhorns claimed victory after victory in their march toward a championship.

With the approach of the showdown with Arkansas, both players had reason to be nervous beyond the usual big-game jitters.  With President Nixon attending the game, Vietnam War protesters made sure their voice would be heard among the hoopla of the game- providing a chilling reminder to Mitchell of his recent loss.  He would also be playing in front of his girlfriend, Honor Franklin, an Arkansas student.  Steinmark, on the other hand, just wanted to be able to endure the pain in his leg for one more game.

While Texas’ 15-14 victory was the beginning of the legendary status of many of the people involved with the game, it would mark the final football game in the life of Freddie Steinmark.  Late in the game, he finally succumbed to the pain he’d played through all year and came out of the contest.  Six days later, it was discovered he had bone cancer.  His left leg was amputated, and he stood on the sideline using crutches when the Longhorns defeated Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day, 1970.  Just over a year later, in June of 1971, Steinmark passed away at the age of 22.

Mitchell, who would earn all-SWC honors for the Longhorns in 1970, went on to marry his Razorback girlfriend and become a successful dentist in Dallas.

Technology and Patient Comforts

Using Proven Techniques and Modern Technology for Outstanding Dental Care

We want you to enjoy your visit to our Dallas dental office. Dr. Mitchell uses state-of-the-art equipment and provides deluxe amenities to promote a positive experience. From educational tools that help you make informed decisions about your care to proven anesthesia methods that calm fears and foster successful treatment, we bring you the best of modern dentistry.

Educational Tools

1017529_110613153756_D10gDuring your checkup or new patient exam, we’ll take pictures inside your mouth with an intraoral camera and display them on a chairside monitor. Getting the same view of your oral health that Dr. Mitchell does helps you to become an informed partner in your dental care. These images, along with short videos from our CAESY Patient Education System, provide a wealth of information to help you decide which therapies will achieve your dental goals and fit your budget and schedule.

Digital images or a wax model of your smile altered to show the proposed effects of proposed therapies can also help you decide which treatments to pursue.

Digital Dentistry

We use digital X-rays to give us a comprehensive picture of your oral health. Digital radiography emits about 80% less radiation than a traditional X-ray, making it safer for you and earth-friendly. In addition, digital X-rays are instantly available for viewing on chairside monitors and can be sent electronically to insurance companies and specialists. Our digital Panorex machine provides a two-dimensional view of your entire oral cavity, aiding in efficient and thorough diagnoses.

Modern Diagnostics – DIAGNOdent and Velscope

State-of-the-art diagnostic tools have revolutionized dentistry. At your checkup or new patient exam, we will use a DIAGNOdent instead of a dental hook to check the health of your teeth. DIAGNOdent is a non-invasive laser that gently and efficiently locates areas of demineralization, the precursor to a cavity. Because DIAGNOdent provides early detection of decay, we can preserve more of your natural tooth when restoring it to health.

Our oral cancer screening tool is called Velscope. This life-saving technology uses a stream of light to locate suspicious mouth lesions that require follow-up. Oral cancer is a stealthy, destructive disease that’s often not caught until it has spread to the neck or lymph nodes. Early detection greatly improves survival chances, so we will screen your for oral cancer during your new patient exam and subsequent checkups.

Sedation Dentistry

Many people fear dentists and dental procedures. It’s a common phobia, but one that can be overcome. Dr. Mitchell uses sedation dentistry to calm nerves and promote a comfortable experience. We offer intravenous (IV) sedation, oral conscious sedation, as well as nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Dr. Mitchell will help you determine which method is right for you.

Amenities

Your comfort is important to us. While in our care, you’ll enjoy a variety of amenities. Refreshments are provided for your enjoyment, as are music headphones, movie goggles, massagers, blankets, and pillows. We also offer Netflix, Pandora Radio, and hot lavender towels after treatment.
