Local dentistry practice encourages smile maintenance before the holiday photos begin

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The lenses are being cleaned and the flashbulbs are (metaphorically) popping away as we get closer into the holiday season. A recent report found that more than half of Americans can’t imagine not taking pictures on holiday, with 21 percent considering holiday selfies to be ‘mandatory.’ Surprisingly – or not – it also found that the typical adult will take fourteen selfies a day during the holiday season, uploading seven images a week onto social media.

With so many self-indulgent snapshots on the horizon, one Woodlands area dentistry practice is encouraging people to get their teeth fixed, aligned, cleaned, and whitened for maximum ‘smileage’ in the photo realm. Stephens & Gatewood Dentistry, located at 6922 W Rayford Rd #100 – with another branch on Cypresswood – has a team that is dedicated to excellence.

The dentists and staff at S&G provide special, individualized treatment where they discuss options with you so you can decide together when and how to proceed. These highly skilled teeth-fixers use leading-edge technology for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Additionally, a wide variety of services are available to keep referrals down to a bare minimum. Early morning and late evening appointments, a bilingual team, same-day crowns, immediate dental implants, a comfortable, welcoming environment, and sedation dentistry all work together so you can get the dentistry you need or want, even if you’ve had anxiety in the past.

During your first visit, staff members will fully examine your teeth and gums, take x-rays of your mouth, check for cavities or early signs of tooth decay, clean and polish your teeth, and create a customized treatment plan based on your health concerns, functional needs, and cosmetic goals.

The dental team is led by some true experts in the field: Dr. Neimar Sartori, D.D.S., M.Sc., Ph.D.; Dr. Jack Stephens, D.D.S.; Dr. Robert Gatewood, D.D.S.; and Dr. Christopher Pagano, D.D.S.

Dr. Sartori has extensive experience in dentistry, primarily focusing on prosthodontics, esthetic, adhesive, and digital dentistry encompassing adhesive dentistry, veneers, extractions, bone grafts, implant placement, implant restorations, and prosthodontics. Dr. Stephens graduated in the top 10 percent of his dental class, and he has never stopped learning, with studies including dental implantology, Invisalign, CEREC, and laser dentistry. Dr. Gatewood served in the Navy for three years, where he studied alongside other dentists and doctors. He completed a yearlong hospital-based general dentistry practice residency. After leaving the Navy, he entered private practice, serving the area for more than 25 years. During this time, he has engaged in extensive continuing education, learning to master dental implantology, Invisalign, and CEREC technology. Dr. Pagano graduated second in his class, and has continued to dedicate himself to adding more dental skills. He has studied CEREC, dental implantology, dental sleep medicine, and the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMD).
