Braces And Orthodontic Care
Braces and orthodontic care is about more than just cosmetics and a straight smile. Improper alignment can cause jaw pain and chewing dysfunction. Overcrowded teeth can be more susceptible to decay and the surrounding gums are more likely to develop periodontal disease.
How Orthodontic Treatment Works
Gone are the days of bulky braces. Choose from thin, clear brackets or skip them altogether and straighten your smile with invisible aligners. Both options provide a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, slowly moving teeth to the proper position.
Because, everyone ought to have a mouth that works for them, not against them.

Dr. Todd Whitfield
Dr. Whitfield’s first post-graduate position was working at the United States Public Health Service from 1989-1991. He was very fortunate that oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Waller instructed him on complicated tooth extractions, thus advancing his knowledge of oral surgery
Dr. Whitfield opened his private dental practice in 1991. Dr. Whitfield was blessed with the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, which became a great asset in growing a successful dental practice. After reading an article in Dental Practice Management, Dr. Whitfield implemented the “Win-Win” strategy by bringing other dentist into his practice to perform procedures on his patients. Patients loved staying in their “home office” surrounded by the staff they trusted. It decreased the patient’s stress level knowing Dr. Whitfield was nearby to answer any last-minute questions, resulting in the patients getting the treatment they needed. The combination of a great bedside manner and all-inclusive services “in-house” quickly led to over 4,000 patients.
Dr. Whitfield constantly advances his dental skills and knowledge. In 2008 he enrolled in the Misch International Implant Institute and completed both the Surgical and Prosthetics Implant Course totaling 175 hours.
After years at the helm of a busy and growing dental practice, Dr. Whitfield realized that in order to spend more quality time with his family, he would need a better work-life balance. He understood that, with proper training and experience, his longtime interest in IV sedation could allow him to more easily control his work schedule, while offering an invaluable service to his patients.
Following rigorous training in all aspects of IV sedation, in which he received advanced education in conscious sedation, as well as in airway management and medical emergencies, Dr. Whitfield met the requirements of the Texas state dental board to provide IV sedation services. Many patients were relieved to know that they could continue to receive the quality dental care offered by this practice, but now with the option of IV sedation. In March of 2016 Dr. Whitfield launched Dental Surgical Solutions to educate other dentists on the benefits of in-house sedation dentistry for their patients. Dr. Whitfield and his team are committed to providing their all patients with the very highest level of dental care in a warm and caring professional environment.
