Dr. Renee Corbitt and her Fort Worth dental team would like to answer your question with another question, “Did you know that poor oral health in the US was called an epidemic during WWI?” It was! In fact, this serious issue kept countless potential soldiers from serving, and caused dentists to shift focus from repairing damage to preventing oral health issues. Tasked with fixing the dental health epidemic, dentists at the time determined visiting the dentist regularly, twice a year, was the best way to improve the nation’s oral health. Today, research findings from the American Dental Association have confirmed this initial suggestion, and more patients than ever are able to maintain a whole, flawless smile for life. If you want to keep your family smiling year after year, we encourage visiting our team at least every six months. Whether you’ve always kept up with your regular appointments or it’s been more than a decade since your last dental exam, our supportive family dentist and team are here to help. Call to schedule an appointment for yourself and every member of your family. Our Forth Worth dental office welcomes patients from all surrounding communities.

Your Fort Worth Dentist Recommends Giving up Smokeless Tobacco
September 14, 2015
The Fort Worth dentist, Renee Corbitt, DDS, recommends patients give up all forms of tobacco including smokeless varieties in order to achieve and maintain the optimal level of oral health. Many patients choose smokeless tobacco believing it to be a healthier option compared to cigarettes, cigars, and other forms of smoked tobacco. However, smokeless tobacco is just as likely as smoking to cause oral cancer and other dental and physical health concerns. Dr. Corbittt and her Fort Worth dental team recommend patients consider giving up all forms of tobacco to achieve superior dental health. Call to find out more about the damage caused by smokeless tobacco or to schedule your appointment today.

Porcelain Veneers for a Beautiful Smile in Ft. Worth, TX
January 20, 2015
If you wish that you could have a smile that’s as beautiful as a movie star’s, then you don’t need to wish any longer. You and Dr. Renee Corbitt in Ft. Worth, TX, can make it happen with porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin sheaths of dental porcelain that are adhesively bonded to the facial side of the teeth in your smile zone. As such, they conceal a number of smile flaws including:
- Teeth that are chipped or somewhat cracked
- Stained or discolored teeth that have not responded to teeth whitening
- Misshaped teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Teeth that have gaps in between them
And while porcelain veneers are a decidedly cosmetic dentistry treatment, they also fill a preventive role in that they shield the teeth they cover from further damage.
The Porcelain Veneer Procedure
The first step in your porcelain veneer procedure is for you and Dr. Corbitt to meet and discuss your smile goals. In designing your veneers, you’ll want to consider the size, shape and color of your teeth, as well as the features of your mouth and face. Then, we’ll make an impression of your teeth that will be sent to a cosmetic dental technician, along with Dr. Corbitt’s unique specifications that will make your porcelain veneers perfect for you.
To prepare your teeth for veneers, Dr. Corbitt will need to remove a small amount of your teeth’s surface enamel. This allows the veneers to lay flush with your other teeth and to adhere more securely to the teeth they cover. While your permanent veneers are fabricated, you may need to wear temporaries. Then, when your custom designed veneers are ready, Dr. Corbitt will bond them to your teeth and carefully trim and polish them for an impeccable finish.

Our office also conveniently serves patients in Arlington, Richland Hills, Forest Hill and Haltom City and throughout the DFW Metroplex.
Get a Quick Fix with Cosmetic Bonding in Ft. Worth, TX
November 10, 2014
Does your smile have just a little something you’d like to fix? You know—like a small chip, a somewhat oddly shaped tooth or an uneven space between teeth. If the answer is yes, then cosmetic bonding may be the quick and easy fix you need. Dr. Renee Corbitt in Ft. Worth, TX, artfully uses tooth-colored cosmetic bonding to restore her patients’ smiles quickly and painlessly.
In addition to the fixes mentioned above, cosmetic bonding may also be the solution for teeth that are abnormally worn or discolored, as well as for teeth that need dental fillings. In any case, the first step is a consultation with Dr. Corbitt, who will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums in order to gauge your overall oral health. Then, if cosmetic bonding is appropriate for your circumstance, the process can begin as soon as you’re ready.
Cosmetic Bonding in One Visit
Whether you are having cosmetic bonding to repair a chipped tooth or fill a tooth that has a cavity, the process can usually be completed in one visit. First, Dr. Corbitt will isolate the tooth or teeth needing repair in order to prevent your saliva from interfering with the bonding. Then, a gentle phosphoric acid solution is applied that roughs up the surface of the tooth so the bonding material adheres better. Finally, Dr. Corbitt applies the tooth-colored bonding material to your tooth in stages, carefully molding and shaping the material each step of the way for a completely natural looking finish. The bonding material is then rapidly hardened with a special curing light.
Caring for Teeth with Cosmetic Bonding
As with natural teeth, teeth that have cosmetic bonding need regular brushing and flossing. Additionally, you will need to take care not to bite down on hard objects with teeth that have cosmetic bonding. With a bit of tender loving care, your cosmetic bonding can last for years.

September 8, 2014
A bright, flawless smile is undeniably an attractive feature in men and women of all ages, but not everyone is fortunate enough to enjoy naturally white teeth. At Renee Corbitt, DDS in Fort Worth, TX, our extensive menu of available cosmetic dentistry services features everything you need to completely revitalize your smile, including professional teeth whitening.
Whiter Teeth for Fort Worth, TX Patients
As teeth whitening gains popularity and becomes more common, over-the-counter whitening brands continue to boast amazing results achieved at home. While many of these products are capable of making a minor change to the shade of your teeth, the truth is that these formulas simply are not powerful enough to eliminate deep, set-in discoloration.
In order to remove years of stains caused by tobacco, tea, coffee, red wine, and more, Dr. Corbitt treats her patients to professional-grade teeth whitening solutions. Stains that are resistant to whitening toothpastes and store-bought kits are quickly and effectively lifted, revealing a bright, beautiful smile you’ll actually feel confident sharing with the people who matter most.
While it is true that teeth whitening can make you appear years younger than you are, the benefits of a whiter smile go well beyond the realm of aesthetics. Patients who have undergone teeth whitening at our office say that they feel more confident, comfortable, and charismatic in both professional and personal interactions. What are you missing when you hide your smile? Let Dr. Corbitt show you how much more fulfilling daily life can be with a whiter, more luminous smile.

Cosmetic and Restorative Care with Custom Dental Crowns
March 21, 2014
Do you have a cracked, broken, or badly decayed tooth? Talk to Dr. Renee Corbitt of Fort Worth about cosmetic and restorative care with a dental crown. Using a dental crown, it’s possible to restore both the appearance and functionality of a compromised tooth.
Crowns have been made from a wide variety of materials throughout the years, but the most common material in use today is porcelain. Why? Because of how natural it looks. Porcelain has a luminescence and translucence that mimics the look of natural enamel. When your finished crown is resting side-by-side with your existing teeth, no one will know the difference. As a result, instead of feeling self-conscious, you’ll come away from our Fort Worth dental office feeling confident and healthy.
For teeth with significant decay, crowns are a particularly good treatment option. While fillings bond with a tooth’s surface, dental crowns cover the tooth and become its new outer surface. What’s more, your crown will be carefully made in a lab by a professional technician, with an accurate dental impression as a guide. You can trust that your finished crown will match your tooth and fit comfortably.
Do you want to learn more about dental crowns as a cosmetic or restorative solution? Call Dr. Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office. We serve patients from Fort Worth and all around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Fix Flaws in a Single Visit with Affordable Cosmetic Bonding
January 16, 2014
Many patients need cosmetic or restorative care at some point. When that time comes, what service will be right for you? A Dr. Renee Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office, a simple and affordable option is helping patients get the cosmetic care they need in just a single visit. It’s called cosmetic bonding.
Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin—the same material used for tooth-colored fillings—to enhance teeth marred by cracks, chips, misalignment, or discoloration. Composite resin is a very durable material, supportive of a tooth’s natural structure. It lets Dr. Corbitt create dramatic results conservatively, without making major changes to a smile. What’s more, the results can be shaded to blend in with your smile’s natural color, and the results will last for years if properly cared for.
But that’s not all. Cosmetic bonding is more affordable than porcelain veneers, a similar cosmetic service, and the process can be completed in a single visit. For patients with busy schedules, or on a tight budget, that’s great news.
Is cosmetic bonding really right for you, though? Dr. Corbitt can help you answer that question in no time. During a consultation visit at our Fort Worth dental practice, a thorough oral exam will be completed, and your medical history will be considered. We’re dedicated to providing our patients with customized care, so if cosmetic bonding isn’t the best solution, we’re happy to recommend something else.
Call us today if you’re ready to schedule an appointment. Dr. Corbitt offers exceptional general, cosmetic, and restorative care to families in Fort Worth and all surrounding areas.
