Ask Dr. May: “What should I expect during my initial consultation?”

May 7th, 2012

Great question! Your initial consultation with Dr. James May will give you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and find out which treatment options will best meet your needs. During your initial consultation, we will:

Review your dental and medical history forms
Provide a complete oral exam, with X-rays, to determine whether treatment is necessary
Help you create a customized treatment plan
Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans

During your initial consultation, you’ll probably also have a lot of questions. Dr. May wants you to be prepared for your appointment and feel in charge of your orthodontic treatment decisions. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have, and we will provide all of the information that you need to determine which treatment is right for you.

We invite you to schedule your initial visit and let us help you find your most perfect smile!

May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month!

May 1st, 2012

At the office of Dr. James May, we know image is everything. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having braces may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today’s teens. Well, May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, and during this time, parents are encouraged to act as positive role models, help stop negative self-images, and improve confidence and security among teenagers.

One of the great ways to improve your confidence is to improve your smile. And that begins with a complimentary consultation at our convenient Houston office. After all, what better time to avoid having crooked teeth in your adulthood than coming in for a consultation with Dr. May?

We proudly provide Invisalign Teen, in addition to traditional braces, for today’s image-conscious teens, and invite you to give us a call to schedule a complimentary consultation or ask us on Facebook!

Straight talk with Dr. May

April 23rd, 2012


People ask our staff at the office of James W. May why we work so tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s great to have a smile full of evenly-aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth at our Houston offices can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime!

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean! If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, please give us a call at (713)665-6886 to set up a complimentary consultation. Dr. May can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Serving Houston, Bellaire, and West University, Texas, Dr. May puts our patients first. Our patients can rely on our reputation and years of experience to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile that will last a lifetime!
