I’m Dr. Corbet Locke, a Waco-based dentist, and I recently cam across an article in the Waco Tribune Herald that got me thinking.
The article was about achieving your perfect smile with “perfectly imperfect teeth.” Recently, this topic has been popular in the dental world, mostly because it focuses on the specific goal of cosmetic dentistry.
The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to give you a healthy, beautiful, complete smile, not necessarily a flawless one. I offer many cosmetic procedures here at my office, and I prescribe them to my patients based on their needs and dental goals. There is not one procedure that will give everyone a “perfect” smile.

Once gum disease sets in, the bacteria eat away at the bonds between the teeth and gums. The human mouth is moist, dark, and warm, making it the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive.
I’m Dr. Corbet Locke, a Waco-based dentist, and I’m here to remind you about your mouth’s most amazing natural feature: your tooth enamel.
Tooth enamel, the hard, white substance covering each of your teeth, is your smile’s natural defense system. Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. In fact, it is the second hardest naturally occurring substance, second only to diamonds. If that isn’t great protection for your teeth, then I don’t know what is!
Plan a night out to the theater and visit one of the oldest playhouses in the State of Texas. The roots of the Waco Civic Theatre date back to the 1920’s when the work of many enlightened citizens combined to form the Waco Little Theatre (WLT), which operated from 1925 to 1936. In 1945,… Read More

Instead of undergoing multiple dental procedures, like teeth whitening, plus bonding, plus orthodontics, porcelain veneers take care of most cosmetic dental problems with just one procedure. With proper care, veneers can last for decades, and they are impervious to stains, so they stay white and beautiful.
