You want a dazzling smile free of gaps, chips, or stains and Dr. Fitzgerald can help. After just two visits to Fitzgerald Dental Center, you can look forward to enjoying a brand new, natural-looking smile for years to come.
How’s this possible? With porcelain veneers. Handcrafted just for you, veneers are made of durable porcelain and placed over the front of your teeth, enhancing their appearance and, in the process, boosting your self-confidence.
Restorative dentistry is a great tool for repairing smiles, improving oral health, and boosting confidence. But even with so many options for restoring function and esthetic appeal, there’s no substitute for giving your teeth and gums the general dental care they need.
That’s why our Plano dental office offers state-of-the-art preventive dentistry-so you can keep your natural smile for years to come. But of course, preventive care isn’t just about what we can do to help you. It’s also about what you can do to help yourself!
When it comes to replacement teeth, the good news is that you have choices. At Fitzgerald Dental Center, I create custom bridges, dentures, and partials to replace missing teeth. I also offer dental implants, the replacement tooth technique that’s quickly becoming the preferred option for my Plano and North Dallas patients. But do you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your smile? I’m Dr. Lee Fitzgerald. Let me explain the basics of the replacement teeth alternatives I provide.
When a dentist talks about your “bite,” he’s referring to your occlusion – how your top and bottom teeth fit together. Optimal occlusion occurs when opposing teeth come together in their ideal arrangement. When tooth positioning is thrown off by a misaligned bite, called malocclusion, a whole host of issues can result, including jaw pain, headaches, erosion of tooth enamel, and even cracked or loose teeth.
I’m Dr. Lee Fitzgerald. At my Plano practice, I help people achieve beautiful, healthy smiles. Optimal bite alignment is a crucial component of the equation. A great smile is one where each element – teeth, gums, joints, and muscles – functions harmoniously with the others. In the 25 years since I opened Fitzgerald Dental Center, I’ve never wavered in my dedication to give patients smiles that look great and feel great. [Read more...]
Crooked teeth are one of the complaints I receive most often. Slightly rotated or widely spaced teeth can make a smile appear juvenile or unprofessional, and your self-confidence can suffer because of it. Many times, patients with crooked teeth have worn braces in the past, but their teeth have shifted, and now they’re dissatisfied with the results. I understand their hesitation to wear braces again – braces of any kind require a significant time commitment, not to mention the embarrassment of looking like a teenager. As a cosmetic dentist in the Dallas/Plano area, I offer many solutions to straighten your teeth without the hassle of metal braces. Most of these treatments can be performed in just one or two visits, and the results are extremely esthetic and long-lasting.
Cosmetic treatments to straighten teeth without braces include:

This revolutionary cosmetic treatment can be completed in just two or three office visits. As a cosmetic dentist in Plano, I’ve seen firsthand the transformational power of porcelain veneers. These restorations can radically improve your appearance and give you a flawless smile faster than you thought possible. [Read more...]
Did you know that snoring can signal a serious condition called sleep apnea? Snoring by itself is hard enough to deal with. Any bed partner of a 
snorer can tell you that it’s difficult to sleep while lying next to someone who is making so much noise! But for many people with sleep apnea, snoring may be the only sign of an underlying problem. At my Plano cosmetic dentistry practice, I treat sleep apnea and snoring sufferers with custom snoreguards, or oral appliances. [Read more...]
As a cosmetic dentist, I’m equipped with the experience and tools to provide you with diverse options for aesthetically improving your smile. 
Based on your needs and finances, I will help you find a solution for the cosmetic oral issue you’d like to correct. For many people who are looking to transform their smiles, porcelain veneers are an excellent choice. But veneers aren’t for everyone. If you’d like me to conservatively fill a gap between your front teeth (diastema), or correct stained, misshapen, or widely spaced teeth, cosmetic bonding could be a good solution. [Read more...]
