Dental Examination
The Azalea Premium Plus Private Dental Plan works similar to many dental plans on the market. You pay a monthly membership fee for benefit coverage on your dental expenses. The plan is designed to cover preventative services such as cleanings and oral exams. This provides coverage that can be budgeted at an affordable monthly expense while receiving excellent benefits for your higher cost dental service.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening: The face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums will be checked for any signs of oral cancer.

Teeth Cleaning
Routine dental cleanings are important to maintaining good oral hygiene. Professional cleaning by a hygienist can remove mineralized plaque that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach. It is recommended you go in for a cleaning once every six months.

Fillings
When treating a cavity, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of your tooth and fill it with another substance. This procedure is called a filling. There are multiple options for the material to be used in the filling, the most common of which are composite fillings and amalgam fillings.
Resin Composite
Dental inlays and onlays are a more conservative approach to tooth restoration than full crowns. The are used to repair rear teeth that have mild to moderate tooth decay, or for cracked teeth where the damage does not warrant a dental crown. Porcelain, composite resin and sometimes gold are used to create inlays and onlays. Inlays refer to those procedures where the bonded material limited to the center of the tooth, while onlays refer to those procedures where the bonded material can extend further to one or more cusps of the tooth.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin custom made shells that cover the front surface of your tooth to improve their appearance. They are made of tooth colored materials and can be used to improve the color of teeth that have been worn down or stained. Alternatively, they can be used to improve the shape or size of the tooth.
Crowns
While in dental school, students are taught to chisel away a great deal of the tooth’s original structure to make way for a crown. In some cases, the tooth is drilled down to a stump. Teeth can often be saved without crowns. It does not make sense to destroy healthy tissues just to repair the bad. All of the above can be solved using Biomimetic Dentistry. In fact, teeth can often be saved without crowns. In our office we have seen a 95% reduction in the need of these expensive and painful procedures.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a false tooth that is used to fill the gap created by missing tooth or teeth. A gap between your teeth can be potentially dangerous to your dental health, as it can cause your teeth to shift resulting in a change in your bite...

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is treatment used to repair and save a tooth that has been infected due to a deep cavity or cracked tooth. The treatment involves removing the pulp and the nerves of the tooth, and cleaning the infected area. A tooth's pulp and nerve is not important to a tooth's health and function after the tooth has fully emerged from the gums. If the treatment is not performed, pus builds up at the root tip and the infection of the pulp can spread to the surrounding bone. The results in pain and swelling, and your tooth would likely have to be removed.

Dentures
Immediate Dentures are a great alternative to dentures that most patients are familiar with. Prior to your teeth being extracted, your dentures will be fabricated. During one visit, your teeth will be extracted and your dentures will be placed. The result is that you won't ever need to leave the office without a smile!

Dental Implants
Azalea Dental Care is a locally owned, family based general dental practice focusing on cosmetic dentistry, implants, dentures, root canals, white fillings, crowns, and veneers. We see children ages 6 months and up. Dr. Otto Herod graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 2005, and took over Dr. Jim Miller’s practice in 2006 which was started in the late '60s. We moved to our new facility in October of 2010, and welcomed Dr. Matthew Gillespie to our dental team in June 2012. We offer the latest technology modern dentistry has to offer, including digital x-rays, imaging, sedation, and nitrous oxide.

Teeth Whitening
Our teeth can discolor through the years as our enamel wears down. The wearing down of enamel allows dentin, a yellow color substance that makes the core of our teeth, to show through. This is what gives our teeth a yellowish tint. Teeth whitening helps restore teeth to a shiny white color through the use of bleach.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Your smile has a big impact on how you look and feel. Azalea Dental Care continually helps patients transform their image and their lives by transforming their smile. Being comfortable enough to share your smile with friends, family, and even strangers, is one of the many reasons we love doing what we do. Whether you've chipped a tooth or don't enjoy the shade of your smile, our Tyler dentist has the ability to make the improvements you're looking for so you can go back to smiling confidently.
General Dentistry
Routine dental exams are important to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Additionally, they can help to avoid the financial costs associated with large treatment plans later on. The Academy of General Dentistry recommends twice yearly checkups for people of all ages. At this frequency, most problems can be caught while they remain in an early stage.
