Born and raised in Wichita Falls, Texas, Dr. Lennard later attended Oregon State University where he majored in biology and chemistry. After completing his undergraduate degree, Dr. Lennard went on to attend dental school at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. Upon completion of his dental education, Dr. Lennard worked as an associate in the Portland area for two years until moving back to Wichita Falls, TX to be closer to his family.
Dr. Lennard enjoyed his time as an associate, but knew he one day wanted to open his own practice. He is truly passionate about providing personalized care to his patients and pours himself into his vision for Magnolia Family and Aesthetic Dentistry at every turn. His favorite part of caring for his patients is getting to truly know his patient family by working with them over the years and helping them achieve their unique goals.
No. Traditional veneers are bonded into place permanently, and are not meant to be removed. The procedure is not reversible, since it requires a thin layer of enamel to be permanently drilled away from your teeth. After your treatment, you will need to take proper care of your veneers, and have them replaced if any of them break or become dislodged.
This mostly depends on how well you take care of your veneers, but most patients can keep a set of veneers for 15 to 20 years. Over time, your veneers may wear down, and you may need to have individual veneers repaired or replaced.The best way to prolong the lifespan of your veneers is to brush and floss properly, and to see your dentist every six months for a teeth cleaning and oral exam. You should also avoid doing things that could break or dislodge your veneers, such as chewing non-food objects, chewing hard foods with your front teeth, or using your teeth as tools.
Veneers are typically made of ceramic porcelain materials that look and feel just like natural tooth enamel. Porcelain can be matched to the color of your teeth and is very similar to enamel in hardness and translucence, making it an ideal option.Resin veneers are also available, but they are typically only used as temporary veneers because resin does not look as natural, and is not nearly as durable compared to porcelain ceramic veneers.
Sometimes your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. This is called an overbite, and this occurs in most people. It becomes a problem when the overbite is too large. If you have too deep a bite, your teeth may wear down or you could suffer from jaw pain. Invisalign can fix an overbite or deep bite, and get your teeth in a healthier position.
An underbite is when your lower front teeth are in front of your upper front teeth. The problem often lies in the position of the jaw; the lower jaw being too far forward. This misplacement can make it hard to chew and speak properly, and may cause wear and tear to the teeth. Invisalign can fix some cases of underbites, but severe underbites may require Invisalign treatment as well as oral surgery.
Gaps between teeth are fairly common, but these extra spaces can create pockets between the teeth and gums where food can get trapped. These spaces can harbor bacteria which can make your gums tender and sore and even lead to gum disease. Invisalign can fix gaps between teeth and give you a straighter, more seamless smile.
Usually the upper and lower front teeth touch when the mouth is closed. When they dont, its called an open bite. This can make it difficult to chew properly or bite into certain foods effectively. Invisalign can adjust the bite, so all teeth sit straight and as they naturally should.
Crowding happens when theres not enough room in the jaw for your teeth to sit straight. As a result, they bunch up, overlap and twist, sometimes getting pushed in front of or behind others. Crowded teeth can make oral care routines, like brushing and flossing difficult. When teeth arent cleaned properly, its easier for plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria to build up. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Plus, crowding can get worse as the teeth naturally shift inward. Invisalign can fix most cases of crowded teeth. Youll just need to speak with your dentist to determine if its the best option for you.

MAGNOLIA DENTISTRY REPLACED MY RETIRED DENTIST. MAGNOLIA'S DR. LENNARD IS AN EXCELLENT DENTIST AND HAS AN AMAZING, FRIENDLY STAFF. THEY ARE HARD-WORKING, HONEST, AND DO THEIR JOB RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. WHEN YOU ENTER THEIR NEW LOCATION ON HARRISON ST., TAYLOR GREETS YOU WITH A BIG WELCOME SMILE. SHE KEEPS THE OFFICE SIDE RUNNING SMOOTHLY. KAREN, DENTAL HYGIENIST, HAS MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND CARES ABOUT THE PATIENT. I USE MY DELTA DENTAL INSURANCE THERE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIVING MAGNOLIA DENTAL A TRY IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR CURRENT DENTIST OR ARE NEW IN TOWN. KEEP SMILING.

Expert Dental Care with a friendly and professional staff to match. My first cleaning was thorough yet less invasive than I have had in the past. Dr. Lennard examined my teeth afterwards and was great in explaining a couple of concerns and treatment options. I believe his evaluation was spot on and this was done without any pressure. Needless to say this visit was way above my expectations.

I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to dentists usually but I don't have a single complaint, quite the opposite with all of my experiences at Magnolia with Dr. Lennard and his staff! I had several cavities to fill today and all of the staff was very comforting and professional! Dr. Lennard narrates as he works and makes sure that you're not in pain! Dr. Lennard's proving that dentists don't have to induce so much anxiety! hah! I'll definitely continue using Magnolia Dental as long as I live in Wichita Falls!
