First annual Dentistry From the Heart on September 17!

We are proud to announce that on September 17, 2011 my staff and I will host our 1st annual Dentistry From The Heart event, which is a free day of dentistry for anyone who needs it. As a growing number of Americans lack dental insurance, we felt this was a great way to address many health problems and give back to our community.

The event will take place 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at our office here in League City. The address is 3023 Marina Bay Dr. Suite 105.

If you would like to contribute in any way please contact Ashley at (281) 334-4944.

Smile! June is National Smile Month!

Can you believe it’s already June? Today, Dr. Derek Tieken and team thought we’d tell you June is National Smile Month, and a good time to remind all our patients at Tieken Smiles to practice good oral hygiene between your visits to see us!

Below are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years to come:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks
* Visit us regularly (every 6 months or as recommended by Dr. Tieken)!

If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call, ask Dr. Tieken during your next visit or ask us on Facebook!

Smile makeovers at Tieken Smiles!

The most dramatic treatment Dr. Derek Tieken offers at our convenient League City office is a smile makeover.

Using a variety of procedures, your smile can be transformed to the ideal one you have always dreamed of. We begin by listening to your desires and preferences. Next, Dr. Tieken and our staff analyze your smile completely, including your lips, teeth, mouth, jaw line, etc.

Actual treatment takes only two appointments in a period of several weeks or more, depending on the patient. Patients will be amazed at how a smile makeover can improve their appearance and self-image. For many, this treatment is a life-changing event!

If you're interested in a smile makeover, we encourage you to give us a call at (281) 334-4944. Have a wonderful rest of the week!
