If you experience dental phobia,
Smiles by Holsinger & Higgins is the right practice for you

  • Does the thought of seeing the dentist make you anxious?

  • Have you long avoided dental treatment because of a bad experience?

  • Does fear of the dentist keep you from getting the care you need?

  • Do the sounds and smells of the dentist's office make you nervous?

It is estimated that about one in three Americans experiences some degree of dental fear or anxiety.

For the majority of these people, this fear stems from a previous bad experience. For another larger portion, it's fear of pain or anxiety about the sounds of dental instruments and chemical smells that keeps them away.

In far too many cases, people who are afraid of the dentist avoid getting treatment altogether, not even regular checkups, and we know that going without proper dental care can have serious consequences, not just for teeth, but also for overall health.

If you identify with anything we have described here,

we want you to know that you are not alone, and more importantly, that we have a way to eliminate your dental fear.

Just went to my first appointment at Holsinger and Higgins. They are fantastic! All the staff were kind and respectful. Also, they are very thorough with dental care. It was a whole new, wonderful experience for me and my previous dentist office was nowhere near this good. I have never looked forward to going to the dentist until now!

PATIENT #1

The patient had been seeing his old dentist for many years until he retired. If something broke they fixed it, but otherwise they just watched old fillings chip, crack and break down to the point of peril. We first restored all of the failing fillings and treated all of the decay. Then we treated the old crowns with leaking margins and broken porcelain that were no longer functioning well. Lastly we restored the front teeth to last for the rest of his life. Its not a Hollywood white smile, but it is a natural smile that suits this gentlemen.

PATIENT #2

The patient always felt that her smile was tipped and crowded and out of sync with her beautiful face. We chose Damon braces to straighten her smile in about a year. If we used aligner therapy it would have taken much longer. We expanded the arches to accept all of the teeth in their full size and we did some bonding on the upper front teeth to close small spaces and give the patient the fabulous smile she deserves.

PATIENT #3

This patient was shy about sharing her smile. She was embarrassed about how it just didn't look right. Not only were teeth very crowded, but there was one front tooth trapped on the palate behind her other top teeth. She did not like how her front teeth did not line up with the middle of her face. Many orthodontists would have extracted 2 teeth on the upper and 2 teeth on the lower to correct the crowding and shrink the upper and lower jaws, but here at Smiles by Holsinger and Higgins we believe that people are healthier is we regain what mother nature had intended and expand the upper and lower jaws to make room for all of the teeth. She had 2 phase treatment. The first was expansion and the second was Damon braces (for about a year). Yuliana now loves her beautiful smile.

Crowns in a single visit?

That’s right! With CEREC crowns you’ll avoid goopy and messy impression materials, temporary crowns, and even multiple visits to the dentist. When your porcelain crowns are placed, they will look and feel like your natural teeth.

Pain-Free Dental Visit

If for any reason you feel nervous about going to the dentist, IV sedation, Nitrous Oxide or oral sedation can eliminate your fears and allow you to undergo any treatment while feeling both comfortable and calm. Let us change your perception of dentistry with sedation dentistry.

Oral Sedation

Involves taking an oral medication at home before you come into the office for your treatment. By the time you come into the office, you will feel calm and at ease.

"Rowland and I met in dental school. We married the day after we graduated. We both did residencies and later, associate-ships. When we were starting our family, it was time to build our own practice and plant roots for our future. What better place than Denton, where Rowland’s family had lived for more than 100 years. We have two grown daughters who worked in the dental office before and after school while they were growing up."
